Dotson caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears.

Dotson tied his season high in targets and recorded the fourth-most receiving yards on the Eagles during Sunday's loss. The 25-year-old has played a minimal role on Philadelphia's offense this season, recording 206 receiving yards and one touchdown on 11 receptions across 12 games. He's likely to operate as the team's No. 3 wide receiver but carry minimal fantasy value in the Week 14 matchup against the Chargers.

Robinson failed to secure his only target while gaining six yards on his first carry of the season in Sunday's 26-8 win over Cleveland.

Robinson was limited to one touch for the third straight week, but it came in unorthodox fashion when he handled an end-around for his first carry as a member of the 49ers. The 30-year-old logged 27 snaps on offense (42 percent), maintaining his status as the team's third wideout behind starters Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall. Robinson has been unable to generate noteworthy production in his steady role in an explosive offense, resulting in a meager 13-163-0 receiving line heading into San Francisco's Week 14 bye.

Moody went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday night's 27-26 overtime loss to the Broncos.

Moody was perfect in his Commanders debut, making 32- and 38-yard field goals in the fourth quarter to send the game to overtime. The 2023 third-round pick from Michigan has now appeared in four games with the 49ers, Bears and Commanders this season, making 11 of 14 field-goal attempts and all seven of his point-after tries. He's expected to remain Washington's top placekicker in the Week 14 matchup against the Vikings.

Lutz converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday night's 27-26 overtime win over the Commanders.

Lutz opened up the scoring for the Broncos by converting on two 33-yard field goals in the first and second quarter. The 31-year-old has now made 19 of 22 field-goal attempts and all 27 of his point-after tries through the Broncos' first 12 games this season. He's expected to have plenty of scoring opportunities in Denver's Week 14 matchup against the Raiders.

Burks caught one of four targets for a five-yard touchdown in Sunday night's 27-26 overtime loss to the Broncos.

With Terry McLaurin not playing full snaps in his return from a quadriceps injury, Burks played 66 percent of the Commanders' offensive snaps against Denver, even though he was also returning from a broken finger. Burks' four targets were still a distant fourth on the team, but he made his lone catch count with a spectacular one-handed touchdown grab in the corner of the end zone. It was Burks' first touchdown catch since Week 13 of his 2022 rookie season with the Titans. With McLaurin and Deebo Samuel healthy, Burks carries minimal fantasy value.

Croskey-Merrit gained 20 yards on four carries in the Commanders' 27-26 overtime loss to the Broncos on Sunday night.

The rookie running back has fallen behind Chris Rodriguez as the Commanders' preferred early-down running back, as Croskey-Merrit was out-snapped 37 to 13 by Rodriguez, who carried the ball 11 times for 41 yards and one touchdown. Both backs played fewer snaps than Jeremy McNichols, who produced six carries for 30 yards and two catches for zero yards on 44 offensive snaps. Stuck in a three-man committee, Croskey-Merrit can't be trusted in fantasy lineups.

Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said after Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers that Harrison exited in the second half of the game due to a heel injury and was unable to return, Jess Root of USA Today reports.

Back in action Sunday after missing the previous two contests while recovering from an appendectomy, Harrison finished with six catches for 69 yards on seven targets while playing 37 of 61 offensive snaps (61 percent). It's not clear when Harrison sustained the heel injury, but he had an insert placed in his shoe at one point during the contest, only to remove it later on. Harrison was then seen limping around on the field in the second half after catching a pass, prompting the Cardinals to pull him from the contest. The second-year wideout will undergo further evaluation, so his status for next Sunday's matchup with the Rams is cloudy for the time being.

Herbert is slated to undergo surgery Monday to repair a metacarpal fracture on his left (non-throwing) hand, but the Chargers plan to have the quarterback available for their Week 14 game against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

After suffering the injury in the first quarter and missing nine plays in the first half of Sunday's 31-14 win over the Raiders, Herbert was able to check back into the contest and finished the game with 15 completions on 20 attempts for 151 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while adding eight yards on three carries. Head coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed after the game that Herbert would be sent for surgery, but the Chargers are optimistic that the signal-caller won't miss further time. Herbert will be aided by an extra day of recovery ahead of a Monday nighter versus Philadelphia, and Los Angeles could also deploy him in more shotgun formations depending on how much difficulty he has handing off the ball. Herbert is also likely to continue wearing some type of supportive cast or glove, as he did after returning to Sunday's contest.

Gardner is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his calf Monday and is expected to miss some time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Though Gardner was feared to have suffered an Achilles tear after going down on a non-contact play early in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans, preliminary tests have left him and the Colts confident that he avoided a worst-case scenario and instead sustained a calf strain. The MRI will confirm the extent of Gardner's injury, but at the very least, the star cornerback seems highly likely to miss the Colts' Week 14 game against the Jaguars, a contest that could have major implications for the AFC South title race. Through his first three games with Indianapolis since being acquired from the Jets at the trade deadline, Gardner has compiled 13 tackles (11 solo) and two passes defensed.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that he doesn't expect to have a clear idea on whether St. Brown (ankle) will be available for Thursday's matchup with the Cowboys until game day, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

St. Brown exited Detroit's Thanksgiving Day loss to the Packers with a left low-ankle sprain, an injury that, while not overly serious, could put the wideout at risk of missing a game or two. The Lions will post their first Week 14 injury report Monday, which will provide more insight into St. Brown's health as Thursday's game approaches. While St. Brown doesn't necessarily need to practice this week in order to play Thursday, even limited participation at some point would increase his odds of being able to suit up against Dallas.
