  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Ruled out for Week 12

    Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Harrison (appendix) is ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Harrison will miss a second consecutive week while recovering from surgery undergone to address appendicitis. His absence will again leave Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch, Xavier Weaver and Andre Baccellia available as the top wide receivers for quarterback Jacoby Brissett, though tight end Trey McBride remains positioned as the team's No. 1 target in the receiving game. Harrison's next chance to play will come Sunday, Nov. 30 versus the Buccaneers in Week 13.

  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Bills' Joshua Palmer: Ready to face Texans

    Palmer (knee/ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Texans.

    Palmer was limited due to knee and ankle injuries Monday and Tuesday, but he'll be available Thursday to potentially take advantage of absences elsewhere in Buffalo's receiving corps. Top tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) will not suit up on the road versus Houston, while depth wideouts Curtis Samuel (elbow/neck) and Mecole Hardman (calf) will also be unavailable. Palmer returned to action from a three-game absence Week 11 versus Tampa Bay, securing two of five targets for 17 yards.

  • Xavier Gipson WR | PHI

    Eagles' Xavier Gipson: No usage on offense in Week 11

    Gipson didn't play a snap on offense and returned one kickoff for 22 yards and one punt for zero yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Lions.

    Gipson was active for a fourth game in a row and appears to have emerged as the Eagles' preferred option on both kickoff and punt returns. However, the 24-year-old has largely been an afterthought on offense since the Eagles claimed him off waivers from the Giants in late September. He's played just six total snaps on offense, recording one catch for three yards.

  • Darius Cooper WR | PHI

    Eagles' Darius Cooper: Barely plays in Week 11

    Cooper went without a target while playing three of the Eagles' 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Lions.

    The undrafted rookie out of Tarleton State was active for the third game in a row but is still in search of his first career reception. He finished a distant fourth among Philadelphia wideouts in playing time Week 11, with his four percent snap share trailing DeVonta Smith (97), A.J. Brown (93) and Jahan Dotson (32).

  • Jalen Tolbert WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Plays limited snaps in Monday's win

    Tolbert played 12 of the Cowboys' 67 snaps on offense and failed to haul in his lone target in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

    Tolbert's role on offense has continued to dissipate; he's now played fewer than 20 percent of Dallas' snaps in three straight games. His 18 percent share Monday placed him fifth among Cowboys receivers, trailing CeeDee Lamb (73), George Pickens (67), Ryan Flournoy (43) and KaVontae Turpin (34).

  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: No yardage on offense in Week 11

    Turpin recorded one catch for zero yards on two targets and returned one punt for 14 yards and four kickoffs for 111 yards in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

    For the first time in eight appearances on the season, Turpin failed to account for any yards from scrimmage. Though the two-time Pro Bowl returner will continue to make his greatest impact for Dallas on special teams, he looks like he'll still be a part-time contributor on offense as a gadget player. He was on the field for 23 of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps Monday, placing him fourth among wideouts behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Ryan Flournoy.

  • Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Scores in second straight game

    Flournoy hauled in his lone target for a two-yard touchdown in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

    Though he finished with his second-lowest yardage output since Week 3, Flournoy was able to find paydirt on his lone target for quarterback Dak Prescott's fourth and final passing score of the night. Flournoy drew a start while CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were benched for the opening drive in a coach's decision, but Lamb and Pickens still ended up handily leading Dallas receivers in playing time. The 26-year-old took the field for 29 of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps, with his 43 percent share narrowly placing him ahead of KaVontae Turpin (34 percent) for third among wideouts.

  • Chiefs' Tyquan Thornton: One grab in loss

    Thornton caught one of his two targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.

    Thornton made one big play Sunday, catching a 61-yard deep ball from Patrick Mahomes in the third quarter. The 25-year-old wideout has proven he can make explosive plays when called upon by Kansas City, but he has seen his snap counts decrease since teammate Rashee Rice returned from his six-game suspension in Week 7. In Week 11, Thornton played just 16 of the Chiefs' 70 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Chiefs wide receiver. Based on his limited usage in the Kansas City's aerial attack, the Baylor product remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. With that said, Thornton will look to make the most of his opportunities again in Week 12 when the Chiefs host the Colts.

  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Three catches in loss

    Worthy caught three of five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.

    Worthy caught three catches for the second straight game, but like in his last outing, was unable to get much going with his touches. The second-year wideout has not been a significant factor in Kansas City's passing game with teammate Rashee Rice in the lineup, despite Worthy averaging around six targets per game since Rice's return from suspension. Worthy has not had many breakout performances this season, but does typically offer a decent floor based on his involvement in the Chiefs offense. The 22-year-old will look to turn things around from his underwhelming day in Denver when the Chiefs host the Colts in Week 12.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Sees more time in slot

    Collins' enhanced production over the last two weeks is partially due to being deployed more often in the slot, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports. He's accumulated 16 catches on 25 targets for 228 yards and a touchdown during a two-game winning streak.

    Collins has been a key factor in the Texans getting to .500 for the season. A coaching decision to scheme him to get more open appears to have worked. During the two-game streak, he's been targeted seven times from the slot, more than he had in his first seven games combined, and those targets have led to success. Collins caught a pivotal fourth-quarter pass for 22 yards in the Week 10 win over Jacksonville and had three catches for 31 yards from the slot, including a touchdown, in a Week 11 win over Tennessee. Collins and the Texans will be challenged to repeat that success this week in a Thursday night game against the Bills, who rank second in the NFL with 169.7 passing yards allowed per game.
