  • Jacob Cowing WR | SF

    49ers' Jacob Cowing: Expected to practice following bye

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Cowing's (hamstring) 21-day practice window will likely be opened following the 49ers' Week 14 bye, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Cowing has yet to play this season after he injured his hamstring during training camp. The 2024 fourth-round pick has dealt with hamstring issues for most of his two seasons in the league. He recorded four catches for 80 yards on very minimal playing time as a rookie last season.

  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Bills' Joshua Palmer: Will be limited Monday

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Palmer (undisclosed) will be limited in practice, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

    Palmer appears to have emerged from Buffalo's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, in which he caught two of five targets for 17 yards, at less than full health. Monday's official practice report will reveal the nature of his injury. The Bills are holding a walkthrough Monday, so the extent of Palmer's on-field activity Tuesday and Wednesday figures to be more telling as to his odds of gaining clearance in time to suit up on the road against Houston on Thursday.

  • Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN

    Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Suspended one game

    The NFL issued a one-game suspension to Chase for unsportsmanlike conduct during Cincinnati's loss to the Steelers in Week 11, ruling him out for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    According to Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Chase is appealing the suspension, which he received after he spat on Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey in Sunday's 34-12 loss. As Ben Baby of ESPN.com relays, there is notable precedent for Chase's suspension being upheld; Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected from Philadelphia's Week 1 win over the Cowboys after spitting in the direction of quarterback Dak Prescott following the game's first play from scrimmage, which the NFL viewed as akin to a one-game ban. Assuming Chase's appeal is unsuccessful, Tee Higgins will be in position as the clear No. 1 receiving option for quarterback Joe Flacco in Week 12, while wideout Andrei Iosivas and tight end Noah Fant could also be beneficiaries of increased opportunities in the passing game.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Labeled as week-to-week

    Coach Raheem Morris said Monday that London (knee) is considered week-to-week, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

    "He could come back and feel much better," Morris said. "We just don't know." London reportedly suffered a sprained PCL in Sunday's overtime loss to the Panthers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It sounds like London will miss at least next Sunday's game against New Orleans, but Morris wasn't ready to rule out his star receiver for that contest. Kyle Pitts, Darnell Mooney, David Sills, KhaDarel Hodge and Carlos Washington will all be in line for bigger pieces of the target pie in Atlanta while London is sidelined.

  • Adam Thielen WR | MIN

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: Just one reception in loss

    Thielen had one reception for six yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to Chicago.

    Thielen played just eight of the Vikings' 55 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as Minnesota's No. 4 wide receiver. He had another drop, as he's arguably failed to secure more catchable balls than he has receptions (eight) this season. With Minnesota's struggles in the passing game, there doesn't appear to any upside for Thielen the rest of the season.

  • Jalen Nailor WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Just one reception in loss

    Nailor had one reception for 16 yards on his only target in Sunday's loss to Chicago.

    A week after a career-best performance (five receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown), Nailor wasn't a big factor as Minnesota's passing game struggled due to quarterback J.J. McCarthy's inaccuracy. Nailor played on 33 of the offense's 55 snaps, so he was getting his usual workload. However, he's prone to low output games when the offense struggles, considering Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson draw the bulk of the targets.

  • Marvin Mims WR | DEN

    Broncos' Marvin Mims: Minimal involvement in win

    Mims rushed once for two yards and failed to record a single target in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Chiefs.

    Making his return from a two-game absence due to a concussion, Mims played 24 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Sunday, his lowest snap share of the season. The 23-year-old wideout was not a big part of Denver's game plan, as he failed to record a single target for the first time this season and was held without a catch for the second time in nine appearances. The Oklahoma product is buried on the wide-receiver depth chart behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant, as Bryant has seen an increase in usage in recent weeks. Based on his limited opportunities, should remain off the fantasy radar when the Broncos come out of their Week 12 bye for a matchup against the Commanders in Week 13.

  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Out for Week 12, still week-to-week

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Aiyuk's (knee) 21-day practice window will not be opened this week, and he remains week-to-week, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Aiyuk will not play in next Monday night's Week 12 game against the Panthers, and he doesn't appear to be particularly close to a return to game action. The 49ers have a Week 14 bye, so perhaps Aiyuk will be able to practice at some point before that and potentially play prior to the end of the regular season. For now, the Niners will continue to roll with Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne as their three main wideouts.

  • Isaac TeSlaa WR | DET

    Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Barely utilized during SNF

    TeSlaa failed to catch his only target in Sunday night's 16-9 loss to the Eagles.

    TeSlaa and the rest of the pass catchers for the Lions had a rough time getting going with quarterback Jared Goff completing just 14 of his 37 pass attempts. TeSlaa has high potential, but he's yet to have a multi-catch performance this season, and the wide receiver now has reeled in just one pass over the last five games combined. The 23-year-old logged 20 snaps on offense Sunday, and his highest total of the year was 25 offensive snaps Week 6 against the Chiefs, limiting his overall upside this season.

  • Skyy Moore WR | SF

    49ers' Skyy Moore: Returns kickoff 98 yards Sunday

    Moore was not targeted as a receiver while returning two kicks for 107 combined yards in Sunday's 41-22 win over Arizona.

    Moore got things cooking for the 49ers when he ran back the game's opening kickoff for 98 yards. The return specialist was run down at the one-yard line, which opened the door for Christian McCaffrey to finish off the easiest opening scoring drive in recent memory. Moore's impact was only felt in the return game, as he did not garner a target in the blowout win with Ricky Pearsall (knee) back in the fold. Fantasy managers can expect similar involvement from Moore in next Monday's tilt against Carolina.
