  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Could be back after bye

    Hill's hamstring injury is considered minor, with the Chiefs hoping he'll be ready to play after a Week 12 bye, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Hill reportedly wanted to re-enter Monday's 24-17 win over the Chargers, but the Chiefs held him out for the rest of the game after he limped off the field in the first quarter. Based on Rapoport's report, Hill's MRI seemingly returned good news, confirming that the hamstring strain isn't too severe. The Chiefs will come out of their Week 12 bye to host the Raiders on Dec. 1, with the matchup potentially determining which team sits atop the AFC West heading into the final quarter of the season.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Targeted twice in win

    Meyers caught one of his two targets for a seven-yard gain during Sunday's 17-10 win over the Eagles.

    He followed up a one-snap, no-target outing in Week 9 with a 19-snap, one-catch game against the Eagles. Granted, that total is far from noteworthy from a fantasy perspective, but Meyers has shown to be serviceable when given the opportunity -- especially as an undrafted rookie. He may get that opportunity in Week 12 with the Patriots potentially missing Phillip Dorsett (concussion) and with Mohamed Sanu (ankle) not 100 percent. Depending on their health, Meyers could see a few more targets against Dallas' seventh-ranked pass defense.

  • Willie Snead WR | MIA

    Ravens' Willie Snead: Held to 13 yards in blowout

    Snead caught two of three targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 41-7 win over the Texans.

    Lamar Jackson and the Ravens' offense continue to dazzle, but Snead has largely been left out in the cold. During Baltimore's last five games, during which the team has averaged 36 points per game, he's averaging 12.0 receiving yards per game and hasn't topped 20 yards since Week 5. Snead has shown the ability in the past to make a difference even with limited opportunities, but he just hasn't done so lately. Next up is a matchup against the Rams' 15th-ranked pass defense.

  • Byron Pringle WR | WAS

    Chiefs' Byron Pringle: Snaps catchless streak

    Pringle caught his only target of Monday's 24-17 win over the Chargers for a nine-yard gain.

    Monday's reception ended a four-game catchless streak for Pringle, who still has more catches in Week 5 (six) than the rest of the season combined (five). He had just three offensive snaps total in the three games leading into Monday after the Chiefs' receiving corps returned to health, but he managed to reach 11 offensive snaps against the Chargers largely because Tyreek Hill (hamstring) made an early exit. If Hill's injury is still a factor after the team's Week 12 bye, Pringle's role on offense could expand when the Chiefs take on the Raiders' 27th-ranked pass defense.

  • Robert Foster WR | NYG

    Bills' Robert Foster: Relegated to special teams

    Foster did not log an offensive snap during Sunday's 37-20 win over Miami.

    Josh Allen had a career day against the Dolphins, but Foster had no hand in it after recording his first catch of the season in Week 10. In the seven games for which he has dressed, Sunday was the first time that Foster did not log at least seven offensive snaps. He shouldn't be on your fantasy radar, especially Sunday against Denver's top-five pass defense.

  • Jakeem Grant WR | ATL

    Dolphins' Jakeem Grant: Strikes twice in loss

    Grant caught all three of his targets for 32 yards and added a seven-yard touchdown run during Sunday's 37-20 loss to Buffalo. He also returned five kickoffs for 198 yards and a touchdown.

    The game was getting out of hand late in the first half when Grant took a kickoff from a yard deep in the end zone and cut across the field to turn up the far sideline for a 101-yard touchdown, his first return score of the season. Later, in the opening minute of the fourth quarter, he took a pitch from a wildcat formation and swept out to the right untouched for a seven-yard touchdown, his first offensive score of the season. The fact that Grant can get from Point A to Point B in a hurry is not much of a surprise, but he hasn't really been able to make much of that ability this season with a single-game high of only five touches. His 39 yards of offense Sunday marked his most productive game of the year. It's possible that Miami relies on some trickery, like Sunday's wildcat run, to get Grant the ball more often, but he otherwise holds little value Sunday against Cleveland's sixth-ranked pass defense.

  • Patriots' Gunner Olszewski: Placed on injured reserve

    Olszewski (ankle) was placed on injured reserve by the Patriots on Tuesday, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

    Accordingly, Olszewski's season is over. He totaled two catches for 34 yards on the season to go with 179 yards on punt returns. Mohamed Sanu (ankle) handled punt-return duties in Week 11 against the Eagles and if healthy, figures to share those duties with Julian Edelman going forward.

  • Colts' Parris Campbell: Limited in practice Tuesday

    Campbell turned in a limited practice Tuesday.

    Campbell continues trending in the right direction after an estimated limited practice Monday. While he is not expected to suit up Thursday against the Texans, he looks on track to return for his target date of Week 13 against Tennessee.

  • Noah Brown WR | LV

    Cowboys' Noah Brown: Shut down for season

    Brown (knee) won't return from the PUP list this season after undergoing a second surgery, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    The Cowboys hoped to activate Brown at some point this season, but he couldn't shake his lingering knee issue. The 23-year-old will go under the knife again to put him on track for the offseason program. Since being selected by Dallas in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Brown has suited up in 21 games, catching nine passes for 87 yards.

  • Cody Thompson: Finds new practice squad

    Thompson signed with the Bengals' practice squad Tuesday.

    Thompson was a highly productive player at Toledo, marking 10 touchdowns in his final collegiate season. He's a quick player with 4.03-second shuttle time but doesn't stretch the field, clocking in at a 4.57 40-yard dash. With fading optimism about A.J. Green's (ankle) return and Auden Tate in concussion protocol, Thompson may be promoted to the 53-man roster before Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
