Hightower didn't catch his two targets during Sunday's 30-16 loss at Green Bay.

The 24-year-old played 18 of 62 offensive snaps but was unable to make an impact in the passing game. Hightower has only one reception for one yard since Week 7.

Harry collected two of three targets for 15 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 45-0 win against the Chargers.

Harry posted his second TD of the 2020 campaign during Week 13, a reasonable total considering that his starting quarterback has only managed five scores through the air all season. The second-year man has benefitted from some higher-volume weeks, collecting six-plus targets four times, with eight targets in a game as recently as Week 11. His 26 receptions and 228 receiving yards have already more than doubled his rookie outputs, as Harry heads into a Week 14 matchup against the Rams' top-rated pass defense.

Sims secured four of six targets for 17 yards during Monday's 23-17 win against the Steelers. He also posted a nine-yard punt return.

Sims may have been held under 20 receiving yards for a third consecutive appearance, but his nine-yard third-down catch on Washington's opening drive of the second half helped situate the team for a touchdown that brought it within four points. Since returning from a toe injury Week 9, the 23-year-old has posted 2.8 receptions and 17.6 receiving yards per game with one TD over five appearances. Sims' six targets Monday tied a season high as he heads into a Week 14 matchup against San Francisco.

James only logged seven offensive snaps (plus 11 on special teams) and was not targeted in Monday's 34-24 loss to Buffalo.

Brandon Aiyuk (reserve\COVID-19) returned from a one-week absence and pushed James from No. 2 down to No. 4 on the wide receiver depth chart with Kendrick Bourne sticking in the slot. Injuries allowed James to start the 49ers' three previous contest, and the 25-year-old turned one of those into a monster performance (nine catches for 184 yards and a touchdown against Green Bay in Week 9). With San Francisco's receiving corps back at full strength, James can safely be left on waivers heading into a Week 14 matchup with the Washington Football Team.

Jones failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 31-28 win over the Jets.

The 25-year-old's only target came during the third quarter as he played seven offensive snaps. Nelson Agholor, Henry Ruggs and Hunter Renfrow are clearly established as the Raiders' three top wideouts, and Bryan Edwards is also ahead of Jones on the depth chart.

Dulin was targeted once but didn't record a catch in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Texans.

Dulin's usage has been consistently low this season, as he hasn't logged double-digit snaps since Week 4. There's no reason to believe that will change in the near future unless one of T.Y. Hilton, Michael Pittman or Zach Pascal gets hurt.

Pascal caught his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Texans.

Pascal finished second to rookie Michael Pittman among Colts' wide receivers with an 80 percent snap share. However, it was T.Y. Hilton who stole the show with an 8-110-1 performance, while Pascal finished with his lowest yardage total of the season. Pascal's consistent usage is encouraging, but it's tough to depend on him in fantasy at this point.

Bourne played 49 percent of offensive snaps and logged four receptions (six targets) for 35 yards in Monday's 34-24 loss to the Bills.

The veteran wideout remained third on the 49ers' wide receiver depth chart following the return of Brandon Aiyuk (reserve/COVID-19) to the starting lineup, as it was Richie James (seven offensive snaps) who was bumped down from No. 2 to No. 4. Bourne would have had a better fantasy outing had the officials not overturned what was initially ruled a touchdown in the fourth quarter. He didn't get another shot to score after quarterback Nick Mullens then promptly threw an interception in the end zone. Bourne won't carry much fantasy appeal heading into Sunday's tilt against Washington, as he requires heavy volume or a trip to the end zone in order to post usable statistics.

Humphries' placement on injured reserve Tuesday is related to the concussion he suffered earlier this season, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.

Humphries was sidelined for four games with the head injury before he was cleared to return to the lineup for Sunday's 41-35 loss to the Browns. While he wasn't known to have exited early in the contest due to an injury, he apparently was diagnosed with a recurrence of the concussion symptoms upon being evaluated after the contest. Humphries will now be sidelined for at least three games as a result of the setback, making him ineligible to suit up again for the Titans until Week 17 versus the Texans.

The Titans plan to place Humphries on injured reserve Tuesday due to an unspecified injury, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.

After missing four straight games due to a concussion, Humphries returned to the lineup for last week's loss to the Browns, playing 36 percent of the offensive snaps in the contest and finishing with one reception for nine yards on four targets. The Titans didn't indicate that Humphries suffered a recurrence of concussion symptoms in the contest or a new injury, but additional details on his situation should emerge in the coming days. He'll have to miss at least the next three games while on IR, making him ineligible to play again until Week 17 against the Texans.
