Patrick caught two of his three targets for 48 yards in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Bears.

Patrick was able to record multiple receptions for the third game in a row, most notably notching a 30-yard catch in the second quarter. The wide receiver has now compiled nine catches for 129 yards over the last three contests while operating as the team's No. 3 option at his position behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

Nabers brought in eight of 13 targets for 69 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Giants' 27-20 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Nabers led the Giants in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, as head coach Brian Daboll made good on his pledge to get his top wideout the ball early in the game. Nabers drew three targets and got a carry on the Giants' first drive, and his overall target tally tied for his highest since the first meeting of the season with the Cowboys in Week 4. Nevertheless, Nabers failed to clear 70 receiving yards for the fourth consecutive contest and continues to mostly see short-area looks from all the quarterbacks he's played with. He'll next take aim at a Saints secondary capable of sticky coverage in a Week 14 home matchup on Sunday, Dec. 8.

Lamb recorded two receptions on six targets for 39 yards in Thursday's 27-20 win over the Giants.

Several factors came together to result in a disappointing day for Lamb. He uncharacteristically dropped a few of his opportunities early in the game, and he then appeared to suffer an upper-body injury that limited him across the second-half of the contest. The team didn't provide any official update or give Lamb an injury designation, though his practice status will be worth monitoring heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Bengals.

Conley (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday's injury report, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Conley had missed the 49ers' Week 10 game against the Bucs due to a hamstring injury, but he has played in each of the last two games. However, it appears he's now working through a knee injury, and his practice participation Friday will indicate his status heading into Sunday night's game against the Bills.

Williams gathered in five of seven targets for 28 yards and took two carries for 18 yards during Thursday's 23-20 win against the Bears.

After racking up at least 50 receiving yards in each of the Lions' previous three contests, Williams fell off a bit Week 13, despite tying his third-highest target count of the campaign. He did match Amon-Ra St. Brown for the team lead on that front, but all of St. Brown (5-73-0), Tim Patrick (2-48-0 on three targets) and David Montgomery (3-36-0 on three targets) ranked above Williams as pass catchers, and TE Sam LaPorta hauled in both of Jared Goff's TD passes. On a positive note, though, Williams recorded a season high in rushing yards with the help of a 15-yard carry that included him hurdling a Bears defender. His next chance to produce will be next Thursday versus the Packers.

Washington (concussion) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

Washington was limited in Wednesday's practice, so it appears he is progressing through the league's five-step concussion protocols. However, in order to play against the Chargers on Sunday, Washington will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist. That could happen as soon as Friday's practice when the Falcons will assign injury designations to players on the injury report.

Hodge (neck) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's injury report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

Hodge wasn't able to practice Wednesday due to a neck injury. His practice participation Friday will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers. In the three regular-season games before the Falcons' Week 12 bye, Hodge logged three catches (on four targets) for 31 yards.

Corley (illness) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Corley popped up on Wednesday's injury report due to an illness, but it appears the rookie third-round wide receiver is no longer under the weather. Corley has logged two catches (on three targets) for 12 yards over the Jets' last two regular-season games.

Odunze caught two passes for 25 yards on six targets in Thursday's 23-20 loss to the Lions.

Odunze has mostly been promising during his rookie season, but this game was one of his most forgettable. It's possible that most of Odunze's struggles Thursday were outside his control -- DJ Moore (16 targets) and Keenan Allen (eight targets) seemed to be earlier than Odunze in most read progressions, and with the Detroit pass rush in play it would have been difficult for Caleb Williams to regularly get to his third read. Odunze remains capable but probably less than reliable as a fantasy asset with a road game against the 49ers up next.

St. Brown (knee) caught five of seven targets for 73 yards in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Bears.

St. Brown was listed as questionable due to a knee injury coming in, but he was his usual effective self, leading the Lions in receiving yards while tying Jameson Williams for the team leads in targets and catches. St. Brown has gone back-to-back games without getting into the end zone following an eight-game touchdown streak. That stretch included a Week 9 performance against the Packers in which St. Brown caught all seven of his targets for 56 yards and a score. Detroit will face Green Bay again on Thursday Night Football in Week 14.
