Runyon wasn't targeted while playing one snap on offense in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.

Runyon appeared on the stat sheet with a tackle on special teams, but the tight end once again came up empty on offense. In six appearances for Las Vegas this season, Runyon has recorded just one reception for three yards.

Spann-Ford was on the field for 24 of the Cowboys' 67 snaps on offense and recorded a four-yard reception on his lone target in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

Spann-Ford once again served as Dallas' No. 3 tight end, with his 36 percent snap share placing him behind Jake Ferguson (63) and Luke Schoonmaker (45). The second-year player out of Minnesota now has four receptions for 18 yards on five targets through 10 appearances.

Schoonmaker went without a target while playing 30 of the Cowboys' 67 snaps on offense in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

Schoonmaker ran routes on just six of his 30 snaps and was one of the few Dallas pass catchers to go without a look on a night in which quarterback Dak Prescott targeted nine different players. So as long as top tight end Jake Ferguson is available, Schoonmaker looks like he'll mostly be limited to a tertiary role in the passing game while serving as a blocker more often than not when he's on the field.

Tolbert played 12 of the Cowboys' 67 snaps on offense and failed to haul in his lone target in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

Tolbert's role on offense has continued to dissipate; he's now played fewer than 20 percent of Dallas' snaps in three straight games. His 18 percent share Monday placed him fifth among Cowboys receivers, trailing CeeDee Lamb (73), George Pickens (67), Ryan Flournoy (43) and KaVontae Turpin (34).

Turpin recorded one catch for zero yards on two targets and returned one punt for 14 yards and four kickoffs for 111 yards in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

For the first time in eight appearances on the season, Turpin failed to account for any yards from scrimmage. Though the two-time Pro Bowl returner will continue to make his greatest impact for Dallas on special teams, he looks like he'll still be a part-time contributor on offense as a gadget player. He was on the field for 23 of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps Monday, placing him fourth among wideouts behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Ryan Flournoy.

Flournoy hauled in his lone target for a two-yard touchdown in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

Though he finished with his second-lowest yardage output since Week 3, Flournoy was able to find paydirt on his lone target for quarterback Dak Prescott's fourth and final passing score of the night. Flournoy drew a start while CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were benched for the opening drive in a coach's decision, but Lamb and Pickens still ended up handily leading Dallas receivers in playing time. The 26-year-old took the field for 29 of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps, with his 43 percent share narrowly placing him ahead of KaVontae Turpin (34 percent) for third among wideouts.

Smith caught two of three targets for eight yards and failed to record a single rushing attempt in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.

Smith continued his role as the de facto No. 2 running back in Week 11 with Isiah Pacheco (knee) sidelined, but he was not a major part of the Chiefs' offensive plans in the contest. The rookie played 12 of Kansas City's 70 offensive snaps, while teammate Kareem Hunt dominated the backfield snap share with 56 snaps. Week 11 marked just the third time this season that Smith did not handle a single carry. Despite the Chiefs praising the SMU product for his playmaking ability earlier in the season, the team has not seemed committed to using him more in Pacheco's absence. Smith remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, even if Pacheco remains sidelined for a Week 12 matchup against the Colts.

Luepke carried once for five yards and added three receptions for 36 yards in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

Heading into Monday, Luepke had just six total touches through the Cowboys' first nine games, but the fullback saw his most involvement of the season as Dallas cruised to an easy win. Luepke played just 16 of Dallas' 67 snaps on offense, however, and he's still likely to offer most of his contributions as a blocker when he's on the field.

Thornton caught one of his two targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.

Thornton made one big play Sunday, catching a 61-yard deep ball from Patrick Mahomes in the third quarter. The 25-year-old wideout has proven he can make explosive plays when called upon by Kansas City, but he has seen his snap counts decrease since teammate Rashee Rice returned from his six-game suspension in Week 7. In Week 11, Thornton played just 16 of the Chiefs' 70 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Chiefs wide receiver. Based on his limited usage in the Kansas City's aerial attack, the Baylor product remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. With that said, Thornton will look to make the most of his opportunities again in Week 12 when the Chiefs host the Colts.

Dart (concussion) is in line to participate in Wednesday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Dart didn't practice in any capacity en route to being ruled out for the Giants' loss to the Packers in Week 11, so it will represent a notable step in the right direction if he's able to handle even limited reps Wednesday. Of course, to be eligible for a return to action Sunday versus the Lions, the rookie first-round pick would need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist. Jameis Winston will be in line to draw another start in the event that Dart isn't cleared in time to suit up Week 12.
