Watson recorded three receptions (on four targets) for 67 yards during Sunday's 30-27 win versus the Chargers.

Watson logged a season-high 57 offensive snaps (88 percent) in this contest, which isn't shocking following the news that JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) would be sidelined for the game and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) also left early and didn't return. If Toney and Smith-Schuster remain sidelined next week, Watson could be worth a look in daily fantasy and some season-long formats.

The Bengals signed Irwin to their active roster off the practice squad Tuesday.

Irwin received his third elevation of the season prior to Cincinnati's Week 11 win over Pittsburgh, and he tallied three catches on four targets for 42 yards and his first career touchdown. He has now been rewarded for his solid play by being signed to the active roster, though his opportunities on offense may decrease if Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is able to return to action in Week 12.

Chark (ankle) was limited in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

With another limited listing on Week 12 injury reports behind him, Chark has one more opportunity to get back to full ahead of Thursday's game against the Bills. Assuming he's able to suit up, he'll be looking to increase his snap share (16 percent) and target count (one) from this past Sunday's win at the Giants. With fellow wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond healthy, though, an active Chark may not see many looks from quarterback Jared Goff.

Reynolds (back) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

After being listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Reynolds got in some work one day later. He followed a similar regimen last week before sitting out Friday, and the Lions eventually downgraded him to out ahead of this past Sunday's win at the Giants. If Reynolds is able to string together back-to-back capped sessions this week, he could be a candidate to return to action Thursday versus the Bills. Ultimately, Wednesday's injury report could give a clearer picture of his upcoming availability (or lack thereof).

Parker (knee) practiced on a limited basis Tuesday.

With another limited listing under his belt during Week 12 prep, Parker has just one more chance to get back to all activity before the Patriots potentially tab him with a designation for Thursday's game at Minnesota. In his first action since Week 8 this past Sunday versus the Jets, he reeled in both of his targets for 19 yards.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Tuesday that Dortch will undergo an MRI on his thumb, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

There was no more information given, so it's unclear if Dortch is in danger of missing any time. He is coming off a career-best performance in Monday's loss to the 49ers in which he hauled in nine of 10 passes for 103 yards. The bump in playing time was aided by Rondale Moore leaving the contest early due to a groin injury, and the Cardinals still don't have the services of Marquise Brown (foot), who remains on injured reserve. With all three potentially question marks for Week 12 action, the situation will be one to watch as the team prepares for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

James (knee) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report due to a knee issue, James was able to mix in into some drills one day later. Whether or not he's putting himself on a path to be available Week 12 remains to be seen, but if James is able to play Thursday in Dallas, more WR reps could be up for grabs following Wan'Dale Robinson's season-ending ACL tear. Other candidates for those snaps are Darius Slayton, Kenny Golladay, Isaiah Hodgins, Marcus Johnson and David Sills.

McCloud failed to catch his lone target in Monday's 38-10 win over the Cardinals.

McCloud logged seven snaps on offense (14 percent) while serving his usual role as the team's primary kick returner. The veteran wideout was coming off of a nice three-game stretch where he averaged 36.3 receiving yards and scored one touchdown before Monday's zero. McCloud's minimal role on offense makes him a fantasy afterthought heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Saints on Sunday.

Head coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday that he doesn't expect to see Philips (hamstring) at practice this week ahead of Sunday's game versus Cincinnati, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Although Philips is now technically eligible to rejoin the 53-man roster after spending the Titans' past four games on injured reserve, he'll probably have to wait until at least Week 13 at Philadelphia to be activated. Even once he's back, the rookie fifth-round draft pick doesn't have a clear path to consistent playing time as long as Treylon Burks, Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine remain healthy.

Anderson wasn't targeted while playing 33 of 71 offensive snaps during Monday's 38-10 defeat to the 49ers.

Anderson has been active for all five games since the Cardinals acquired him from the Panthers before Week 7, but he has just one catch for minus-4 yards on seven targets. His 46 percent snap share Monday was his second-most with his current squad, but despite injuries throughout the receiving corps, he has yet to make much of a mark. If Marquise Brown (foot) is able to return from IR for Sunday's contest versus the Chargers, there's a chance Anderson is a healthy scratch in Week 12.
