In his NFL regular-season debut, Harry logged 32 of a possible 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Eagles, en route to catching three of his four targets for 18 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

The Patriots eased Harry into the mix during the first half, but the rookie wideout's role in the offense increased after Phillip Dorsett left the contest with a head injury. Looking ahead, Harry will continue to work behind Julian Edelman and Mohamed Sanu, but if Dorsett isn't able to play this coming Sunday against the Cowboys, the 2019 first-rounder would be in line to serve as the team's No. 3 wideout Week 12.

Smith didn't catch his lone target and fumbled at the end of his lone kick return in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Redskins.

Smith had a decent 27-yard return going when he put the ball on the ground. He didn't get another opportunity to return a kick in the game.

Anderson caught one of three targets for a six-yard touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Redskins.

Those who went with Anderson in this favorable matchup were bailed out by his second touchdown of the season, but his lack of involvement remains concerning. Anderson has eclipsed 50 receiving yards only twice this season, and this was the fourth time in 10 games that he's managed to secure only one catch.

Montgomery rushed twice for 11 yards and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 34-17 win over Washington.

Recent practice squad call-up Josh Adams actually got two more carries than Montgomery, but all four Jets running backs were able to get some touches in this blowout win. The kick-return carousel continues to spin in New York, as Montgomery wasn't involved in that aspect of the game after getting some return opportunities in the previous game.

Coach Pat Shurmur said after Monday's practice that he's optimistic Shepard will clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and suit up Week 12 against the Bears, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

While Shepard remains in the protocol coming off the Giants' Week 11 bye, he took a notable step forward by participating in Monday's practice. The extent of his participation won't be known until the Giants release their first injury report of the week Wednesday, and Shepard still will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist at some point if he's to return to action versus the Bears. Shepard has been diagnosed with two concussions this season and already experienced a setback while recovering from his latest head injury, so he'll likely have more of an uphill battle to gaining clearance this week than the other three players on the roster that are in the concussion protocol (Rhett Ellison, Janoris Jenkins and Nate Solder).

Shepard (concussion) was seen participating Monday in the Giants' practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

The Giants won't release their first Week 12 injury report until Wednesday, at which time Shepard likely will go down as either a limited or full participant in practice. The difference between limited and full participation is fairly significant for the wideout, as the latter would indicate that he has been given the green light to take contact. Shepard has been sidelined since Week 5 after suffering his second concussion of the season and will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up Sunday against the Bears.

Goodwin had one catch on two targets for five yards in Sunday's 36-26 win over the Cardinals.

The 29-year-old did not carry an injury designation heading into this contest, so his limited usage confirms that he has fallen behind Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne in the pecking order behind top wideout Emmanuel Sanders (ribs). Goodwin had a monster performance (126 yards and two touchdowns) against next week's opponent, the Green Bay Packers, in 2018, but this is a different 49ers squad and his role has been greatly reduced since then. Barring a setback with Sanders' injured ribs, expect Goodwin to remain off the fantasy radar in Week 12.

Bourne caught four passes on six targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-26 win over the Cardinals.

Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) was able to start the contest but was clearly limited physically, which allowed Bourne to remain involved in a pseudo-starting role. The 24-year-old responded with his third consecutive game with a receiving touchdown. Undrafted in 2017, the wideout has proven to be more reliable than receivers on the team with a higher pedigree, keeping him in the top three on the wide receiver depth chart ahead of the likes of Dante Pettis and Marquise Goodwin. Bourne's 6-foot-1 frame has earned him looks in the red zone, and he is cashing in on those opportunities with flying colors. He will look to extend his touchdown streak to four games while serving a similar role against the Packers next week on Sunday Night Football.

Wims recorded an 11-yard reception in the Bears' 17-7 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Wims was targeted twice, giving him a total of 12 on the season, and he'd need to move up the depth chart before being considered a useful fantasy option.

Reynolds had three catches (six targets) for 55 yards in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Bears.

Reynolds got the start with Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Robert Woods (personal) sidelined, and he was the lone receiving option to be targeted more than three times in coach Sean McVay's run-heavy gameplan. The 24-year-old is averaging three catches and 59 yards in the three games Cooks has been sidelined, so Reynolds will carry deep-league appeal if the former is forced to miss Monday's contest against a Ravens pass defense that ranks in the bottom third of the league. Reynolds also had a long touchdown called back due to an illegal formation penalty.
