McCaffrey caught both of his targets for 13 yards in a 42-19 win over the Titans on Sunday.

McCaffrey didn't get any extra playing time after starting wideout Noah Brown left with a rib injury. Dyami Brown filled in instead, while McCaffrey and Olamide Zaccheaus maintained their usual depth roles. In any case, Noah Brown may be healthy after the Week 14 bye.

Brown caught four of five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 42-19 win over Tennessee, adding one carry for four yards.

Brown picked up extra playing time in the second half after starting wideout Noah Brown left with a rib injury. The added snaps led to a few more targets than usual, and it's possible the former will have an expanded role again after a Week 14 bye if the latter isn't ready for Week 15 at New Orleans.

Zaccheaus caught each of his three targets for 14 yards in a 42-19 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Zaccheaus played 35 percent of snaps on offense and didn't get a noticeable boost in playing time after Noah Brown left with a rib injury. The Commanders instead turned to Dyami Brown for a regular spot on the perimeter, with Zaccheaus and Luke McCaffrey staying in their familiar depth roles. The Commanders now have a Week 14 bye, followed by a Week 15 road game at New Orleans.

Duvernay caught two of four targets for 23 yards, returned three kickoffs for 68 yards and one punt for five yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.

Duvernay entered the weekend having played a minimal offensive role this season, but he played 39 offensive snaps and produced his first positive receiving yardage of 2024 against Houston. The 27-year-old operated as Jacksonville's No. 3 wide receiver ahead of Tim Jones and Elijah Cooks, though none of those three wideouts are likely to have fantasy viability, especially if Mac Jones finishes the campaign as the club's starting quarterback.

Coach Dave Canales said Monday that the hope is Coker (quadriceps) will be able to play next Sunday against the Eagles, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Coker didn't practice at all last week and has missed the Panthers' last two contests, losses to the Chiefs and Bucs. In Coker's absence, Carolina has gotten back Adam Thielen (hamstring) from injured reserve and rolled with a three-wide set of Thielen, Xavier Legette and veteran David Moore. With Moore producing, it's unclear if Coker would return to a full-time role once healthy.

Williams wasn't targeted during Sunday's 44-38 win over Cincinnati.

Williams recorded a 32-yard reception during his Steelers debut against Washington in Week 10, but he hasn't been targeted over three games since then. It's especially discouraging that Williams was held without a target during Sunday's high-scoring victory in which Russell Wilson tallied a season-high 414 passing yards. Williams seems unlikely to be a consistent fantasy option late in the regular season given his lack of work in recent weeks.

Jefferson secured one of three targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 44-38 win over the Bengals.

Jefferson was on the field for 62 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps Sunday, the second-highest mark among the team's wide receivers. While he didn't have many targets against Cincinnati, Jefferson put the Steelers in the red zone with just over six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, which marked the team's longest play of the day. The 2020 second-rounder has secured three of five targets for 82 yards over the last two games, but it seems unlikely that he'll be a reliable fantasy option late in the season since his target share remains low.

Doubs (concussion) was spotted participating in Monday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Doubs also practiced Sunday, as the Packers have been back on the field following their win over the Dolphins on Thanksgiving Night. He missed that contest but appears to be working his way through concussion protocol. He seems to have a chance at returning for Thursday night's NFC North date with the Lions.

Polk logged 20 of a possible 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Colts, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

Polk -- who didn't haul in his only target Sunday -- continues to work behind Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas and Kendrick Bourne, a context that has limited the rookie's fantasy upside of late. While it's possible that the team looks to get Polk more involved down the stretch following a Week 14 bye, for now he's off the lineup radar.

Washington brought in six of 12 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown and also caught a two-point conversion pass in the Jaguars' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Washington was the surprise leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Jaguars with figures that all qualified as career highs. The 2023 sixth-round pick's breakout performance isn't necessarily an outlier -- although it may be an uphill battle to fully replicate if Mac Jones remains the starting quarterback in place of Trevor Lawrence (concussion) -- considering Washington is in line for an expanded role for the remainder of the campaign now that Gabe Davis (knee) has joined Christian Kirk (collarbone) on season-ending injured reserve. Washington next takes aim at the Titans in a Week 14 road clash.
