Tre Tucker WR | LV
Raiders' Tre Tucker: Produces long TD in Week 13 loss
Tucker caught his only target for a 58-yard touchdown in Friday's defeat against Kansas City.
Tucker made the most of his lone target, gathering in a deep pass from Aidan O'Connell in the fourth quarter and taking it to the end zone for a 58-yard score. The touchdown gave the Raiders a one-point lead, but it was the last time the team was able to score in the contest. Tucker's reception was the longest of his career, and the touchdown was his first since Week 3 against Carolina. The second-year wideout has been tough to trust in fantasy this season, as he's logged three or fewer receptions nine times through 12 games.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | PHI
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Logs season-high snap share Week 13
Wicks recorded four catches on five targets for 30 yards Thursday in a 30-17 victory versus the Dolphins.
Romeo Doubs (concussion) missed the Thanksgiving Day game, making room for more opportunity for Wicks. The latter was on the field for 89 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps after not playing more than 40 percent of the team's offensive snaps over the previous two weeks. Wicks' production remained modest, however, and if Doubs is able to return to action next Thursday against Detroit, Wicks may again spend more time on the sideline than on the field.

Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA
Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Nabs two catches Thursday
Tolbert recorded two catches on four targets for 41 yards in Thursday's 27-20 Week 13 win against the Giants.
Though he managed only two receptions, Tolbert finished second on the Cowboys in receiving yards thanks mostly to a 36-yard catch in the third quarter. He also logged the most offensive snaps (55, for a 72 percent snap share) among the team's wideouts. That was largely a result of CeeDee Lamb sitting out much of the third quarter and all of the fourth due to a shoulder injury. For the time being, there is optimism that Lamb won't have to miss any games due to the issue, but if the star wideout does end of being sidelined, Tolbert would likely ascend to the role of the Cowboys' No. 1 receiver.

Xavier Worthy WR | KC
Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Catches five balls in Week 13 win
Worthy recorded five catches on seven targets for 54 yards in Friday's 19-17 win against the Raiders.
Worthy drew the third-most targets (seven) from Patrick Mahomes, behind Travis Kelce (13) and DeAndre Hopkins (nine). He also ranked second in catches (five) and fourth in receiving yards (54) among the team's pass catchers. Worthy's reception total was a season high, and his yardage total was his third-most of the campaign. After fading during Hopkins' first three games with the club, Worthy has gotten back on track over the past three weeks, recording at least four catches and at least 46 receiving yards in each of those three games.

Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ
Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Trending in right direction
Reynolds (hand) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Browns after logging a third straight full participation in practice Saturday.
This was the third straight week Reynolds practiced in complete fashion. The veteran is nearing the end of his 21-day activation window, so it's possible the team will activate the veteran ahead of Monday's contest. The Broncos are relatively healthy at wide receiver, but Reynolds could see snaps over Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims should he be activated.

Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Not able to play Monday
Tillman (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Broncos, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Even with the extra few days, Tillman was unable to clear concussion protocol after suffering the injury in last Thursday's win over the Steelers. Jerry Jeudy absorbed some of the workload in Tillman's absence last week, but slot target Elijah Moore might be tasked with more looks given Denver's star cornerback Patrick Surtain will likely follow Jeudy around most of the evening.

Parris Campbell WR | DAL
Eagles' Parris Campbell: Signs with active roster
The Eagles signed Campbell from their practice squad to their 53-man roster Saturday.
Campbell had previously been signed to the active roster Oct. 12, but he was cut 10 days later. He's also had three practice-squad elevations this season, so he's gotten into four total games, catching six of seven targets for 30 yards and a touchdown. Campbell could see some work on offense Sunday versus Baltimore due to Johnny Wilson (hamstring) being out of action, especially if DeVonta Smith (hamstring) also misses the contest.
-
Elijah Cooks WR | NO
Jaguars' Elijah Cooks: Receives elevation for Week 13
Cooks was elevated from the Jaguars' practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Houston.
Cooks was previously elevated for Week 9, but he played only three offensive snaps and didn't record any stats against the Eagles. The San Jose State product played in nine games for Jacksonville as a rookie last year and tallied three catches on four targets for 38 yards. Cooks' opportunity Sunday comes as a result of Gabe Davis landing on IR due to a knee injury.
-
Johnny Wilson WR | PHI
Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Won't play Week 13
Wilson (hamstring) was downgraded to out Saturday ahead of Sunday's battle against Baltimore.
Wilson first appeared on the injury report with a hamstring issue Friday, and he was ruled out for Sunday's contest one day later. The rookie wideout played a season-high 69 percent of Philadelphia's offensive snaps last Sunday against the Rams, though he didn't make any catches and drew just one target. Wilson's absence Sunday could lead to more offensive snaps for Ainias Smith and Britain Covey.

Jared Wayne WR | HOU
Texans' Jared Wayne: Getting opportunity Week 13
The Texans elevated Wayne from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's battle with the Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Wayne originally signed with Houston as an undrafted free agent in April of 2023, and he hasn't yet gotten into an NFL game. He was a standout college receiver for Pittsburgh, recording 60 catches for 1,063 yards and five touchdowns over 12 games in his final season. If Wayne is active Sunday, he'll likely see few (if any) offensive snaps due to most of the Texans' wideout corps being healthy.
