Boykin secured one of his three targets for a 38-yard touchdown during Tuesday's 34-17 win against Dallas.

Boykin helped Baltimore immediately cash in on a Cowboys turnover, corralling his long score exactly one play after Andy Dalton provided rookie Patrick Queen with the first interception of his career. The 38-yard gain alone tied Boykin's single-game season high in receiving, while the score represented the 24-year-old's fifth over 28 NFL appearances. He had started five of Baltimore's past six games coming into Week 13, but with just 2.2 targets per contest on the season, Boykin remains a low-floor fantasy option.

Lamb secured six of nine targets for 46 yards in the Cowboys' 34-17 loss to the Ravens on Tuesday night.

The rookie was particularly involved in the first half, and even though his involvement waned in the latter portions of the contest, he still finished second to Michael Gallup in targets, receptions and receiving yards. Lamb's now gone without a touchdown in two straight contests following back-to-back games with a score, so he'll look to start a new streak at the expense of the Bengals in Week 14.

Brown reeled in five of his eight targets for 39 yards and a touchdown during Tuesday's 34-17 win against the Cowboys.

Brown capitalized on another ample workload, as Lamar Jackson made his return from the reserve/COVID-19 list. The second-year receiver broke out last week with four catches for 85 yards and a touchdown against the Steelers, after being held scoreless and posting fewer than 40 receiving yards for three consecutive outings Weeks 9 through 11. He now finds himself with eight targets in consecutive outings, as the Ravens head into a Week 14 Monday night matchup against the Browns' No. 23 pass defense.

Cooper brought in five of nine targets for 43 yards and a touchdown and added a 10-yard rush on one attempt in the Cowboys' 34-17 loss to the Ravens on Tuesday night.

Cooper was on his way to a forgettable fantasy night before making an acrobatic two-yard catch in the back of the end zone on fourth down for Dallas' final score of the night. The sixth-year pro has enjoyed a strong connection with Andy Dalton and had been coming on with a 17-260-1 line over the prior three contests to Tuesday's game. His numbers against Baltimore therefore represented a slight downturn from his per-game averages during that span, but Cooper should once again be the subject of plenty of attention from Dalton in the latter's return to Cincinnati to face the Bengals in Week 14.

Gallup secured seven of 11 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 34-17 loss to the Ravens on Tuesday night.

Coming off a six-catch effort on Thanksgiving Day against Washington, Gallup followed up by pacing the Cowboys in receptions, receiving yardage and targets. The third-year wideout's yardage total was also his highest since Week 3, a welcome surge for fantasy managers at a critical time of year. Gallup will look to continue his upward trajectory while helping quarterback Andy Dalton extract some revenge on his former employer in a favorable Week 14 road matchup in Cincinnati.

McCloud recorded two receptions for four yards across five offensive snaps in Monday's loss to Washington.

McCloud has logged just nine offensive snaps over the past two weeks, after averaging almost 18 snaps a game for the seven contests prior. With plenty of mouths to feed on the Pittsburgh receiving corps, McCloud could continue to see limited action as the regular season comes to a close.

Mickens signed back to the Buccaneers' practice squad Tuesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Mickens was waived by Tampa Bay on Monday but after clearing all waivers, the return specialist will make his way back to the team's practice squad. He spent the three previous week's on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Sims recorded five receptions for 92 yards across 62 offensive snaps in Monday's win over the Steelers.

Sims bounced back nicely in Week 13 after being held to no receptions the week prior. He had one of his most productive outings of the season as he now has 18 receptions for 337 yards and a touchdown on the year. He'll enter Sunday's game against the 49ers as Washington's No. 2 wideout.

Ford signed with the Dolphins' practice squad Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

The 24-year-old was traded from the Dolphins to the Patriots for a late-round pick in early November, but he was waived over the weekend. Ford has cleared waivers and will return to the team where he began the season.

Cleveland caught his lone target for 11 yards and returned three kickoffs for 77 yards during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.

The 23-year-old played only two offensive snaps but secured his first reception since the season opener. Cleveland should continue to see most of his opportunities in the return game for Denver.
