Moore secured seven of 11 targets for 127 yards in the Panthers' 20-0 win over the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed once for 21 yards.

A week after a resurgent 96-yard receiving effort against the Buccaneers, Moore one-upped himself while pacing the Panthers in receiving yardage and targets. The 23-year-old recorded a game-high 52-yard grab along the way while displaying a strong connection with spot starter P.J. Walker. Moore's 100-yard receiving effort was only his second of the season, with the other having come Week 2 versus Tampa Bay. He'll look to continue his recent surge with either Teddy Bridgewater (knee) or Walker under center in a Week 12 road battle with the Vikings.

Smith-Schuster suffered a toe injury during Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

On his way to the sidelines, Smith-Schuster tripped on the weighted portion of a penalty flag and immediately started limping. The team relayed that he could return if necessary, but the game has turned into a blowout in the Steelers' favor. Smith-Schuster will finish Sunday's game with four catches for 19 yards, and he'll look to recover quickly with a Thursday night game against the Ravens up next.

Harris has a stinger and is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

The 2019 special-teams All-Pro was labeled questionable to return midway through the third quarter. He's garnered just 29 combined offensive snaps the past two games with Michael Thomas' return to the lineup from ankle and hamstring injuries. Explosiveness in the return game will be depleted if Harris is unable to return to the divisional tilt.

Shepherd (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Shepherd was a full practice participant the last two days of the week, so it's not much of a surprise he's suiting up Sunday. The 25-year-old should fill a depth role with the receiving corps back to full strength.

St. Brown (knee) is active for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

The 24-year-old continues to manage the knee injury by limiting his practice reps, but it has yet to impact his gameday availability since his return from injured reserve. St. Brown played a season-high 48 percent of offensive snaps last week, though the return of Allen Lazard (core) figures to cut into his playing time.

Lazard (core) is active for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

Making his long-awaited return to action, Lazard will log his first snaps since undergoing core-muscle surgery Oct. 1. His workload will be of interest, especially after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Lazard will be on a "pitch count." Prior to his six-game absence, Lazard played at least 84 percent of the offensive snaps Weeks 1 through 3 en route to 13 catches (on 17 targets) for 254 yards and two touchdowns.

Cobb (foot) won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.

With Kenny Stills (leg) also injured Sunday, Keke Coutee is in line for added looks in the Texans' Week 11 passing game alongside Brandin Cooks and Will Fuller.

Bowden (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 11 game against the Broncos.

The rookie will remain out of game action, with Matt Breida's return from a hamstring injury further lowering his chances of garnering active status. Bowden's next chance to see game action will come in a Week 12 matchup against the division-rival Jets.

Cobb suffered a foot injury during Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Cobb was targeted twice before his departure, with the final one a three-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. That said, he came up hobbling at the end of the play and now is deemed questionable to return. If Cobb is unable to come back Sunday, Kenny Stills and perhaps even Keke Coutee will be in line for additional work.

Sims is expected to remain in the starting lineup Sunday against the Bengals with Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) inactive for the contest.

Sims will likely serve as an outside receiver at the spot opposite Terry McLaurin, leaving Steven Sims and Isaiah Wright to share work out of the slot. Cam Sims has been a surprising source of big plays while Inman has been sidelined for the previous two games, hauling in seven of nine targets for 164 yards in those contests.
