The Commanders announced Monday that Brown (groin/knee) has been designated to return to practice from IR.

Brown hasn't played since Week 2 due to groin and knee injuries, though Washington didn't actually place him on IR until mid-October. Once fully healthy, Brown will have an opportunity to reclaim his role as the No. 3 receiver behind Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Deebo Samuel, though it's worth noting the former hasn't suited up since Week 8 himself. If Brown is able to hit the ground running at practice, it's possible he could be fully cleared in time to suit up Sunday versus the Broncos, a contest that will feature Marcus Mariota under center if Jayden Daniels (elbow) remains sidelined.

Whittington secured all three targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 34-7 victory against the Buccaneers.

It was another monster game for Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, who combined for 19 targets and a 12-159-2 receiving line. This left little for the other two wideouts who took the field, as along with Whittington's three targets, Konata Mumpfield mustered just two targets of his own. Whittington's usage crept up again for the second consecutive week, with the second-year pro out on the field for 34 snaps on offense. Tutu Atwell (hamstring) and Xavier Smith (concussion) could both return for the Week 13 contest against the Panthers, however, which would reduce Whittington's already limited role even further.

Wilson failed to secure either of his two targets during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears.

Wilson had recorded at least one catch in each of his last six games, but he failed to establish a connection with quarterback Mason Rudolph in Chicago on Sunday. Wilson was also on the field for just 28 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps, which was his lowest mark since Week 6. He's shown some glimpses of production this season but hasn't been a very reliable fantasy option.

Downs had two receptions for 10 yards on six targets in Sunday's loss at Kansas City.

Downs again took a back seat to Michael Pittman and Tyler Warren (five receptions each) in the intermediate passing game. After recording touchdowns in three consecutive games, Downs has just three receptions for 13 yards his last two games. He'll face a tough matchup against a stout defense next week against Houston.

Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Higgins (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Ravens, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Higgins sustained a concussion late in Sunday's loss to the Patriots after smacking the back of his head on the turf while attempting to make a leaping catch. With Higgins out and Ja'Marr Chase set to return from his one-game suspension, the Bengals will likely trot out a wideout group of Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Mitchell Tinsley and Charlie Jones versus Baltimore. Higgins will then have 10 more days to heal up ahead of a Week 14 date with the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Dulin had one reception for 48 yards on his only target in Sunday's loss at Kansas City.

Dulin played nine snaps on offense. He's taken over as the clear fourth receiver after the trade of Adonai Mitchell, but has just two targets over his last four games. He's still a star on special teams where he gets the most usage.

Gould had three punt returns for a 16.3-yard average and one kickoff return for 26 yards in Sunday's loss at Kansas City.

Gould hasn't played since Week 8 due to a knee injury. He made an impact in the return game setting up the Colts with good field position on several returns, including a 26-yard punt return. He didn't play any snaps on offense as he's rarely used a receiver.

Nailor did not have a catch on his lone target in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.

Nailor played on 20 of the offense's 44 snaps, which was a little lower than his usual participation rate. However, it's hard to read too much into his performance given the historically inept performance of J.J. McCarthy (87 yards passing, two interceptions and 17.9 QBR). Nailor and the passing game have another tough matchup next week at Seattle. It's hard to envision any Minnesota receivers having fantasy relevance if McCarthy continues to struggle like his last two games.

Cooper caught both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.

The Tarleton State product played 12 offensive snaps and operated as the Eagles' No. 4 wideout in the Week 12 loss. He finished with the sixth-most receiving yards on the team, ahead of Jahan Dotson (who went without a catch on one target). Cooper has appeared in just seven games this season, contributing on both offense (72 snaps) and special teams (37 snaps). He's expected to play a similar role in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears.

Dotson failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.

The 2022 first-round pick was targeted just once and went without a catch for the third time in the Eagles' last five games during Sunday's loss. Dotson has appeared in all 11 of Philadelphia's games this season, catching 10 of 18 targets for 194 yards and a touchdown across 359 offensive snaps. He's expected to operate as the Eagles' No. 3 wideout but carry minimal fantasy value in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears.
