Hooker (toe) is active for Monday night's game against the Raiders.

Hooker was injured in the Cowboys' tie with the Packers in Week 4 and was just activated from injured reserve earlier Monday. With Juanyeh Thomas (migraines) out at least the next four games, Hooker should slide right back into his starting role on the back end of the Dallas defense.

Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Raiders.

Mingo was activated from injured reserve ahead of Week 8 but has remained a healthy scratch for all three contests since his activation. He's buried on the Cowboys' wideout depth chart.

Whyle caught a two-yard touchdown on his only target in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants.

Whyle appeared in only his second game as a Packer, playing roughly four times as many snaps as he did in his Week 10 debut while also finding the end zone for the first time. Whyle had several semi-productive appearances with the Titans last season, and the Packers appear to be evaluating their options at the tight-end position with Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the season, so Whyle is now at least back on the fringes of the fantasy radar.

Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Raiders.

Blue was active for the four games prior to Week 9, but he's once again a healthy inactive despite coming out of the bye week. Malik Davis is up as the Cowboys' RB2 behind Javonte Williams.

FitzPatrick was targeted once and caught one pass for five yards in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants.

It may not be obvious in the box score, but FitzPatrick was credited with his first career start Sunday, and he wound up playing 16 more snaps than fellow tight end Luke Musgrave, who was the presumptive top option at the position with Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the season. It remains to be seen how the playing time will be divided among the two -- as well as Josh Whyle, who scored in Week 11 -- moving forward, but none are particularly appealing fantasy options at this point.

Melton had one carry for 17 yards in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants. He also returned two kickoffs for 37 yards.

The wideout-turned-cornerback-turned-wideout got 26 snaps on the offensive side of the ball with the Packers in a pinch in Week 10, and although he had the long run Sunday, it was the only snap he got in offense in Week 11. As such, it seems likely he will continue focusing on defense -- and special teams -- moving forward.

Wicks was targeted twice and caught one pass for nine yards in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants.

Wicks finished third among Packers wideouts in snaps, but he saw only a quarter of the season-high eight targets he drew in Week 10. He's getting some opportunities, but he has racked up only 18 receptions and 181 yards through eight appearances this season, and his playing time will likely take a hit when Jayden Reed (collarbone/foot, IR) is ready to rejoin the fray.

Schultz (shoulder) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report.

Schultz has been dealing with a shoulder injury for nearly a month, but he's played in each of the Texans' last four games and made 21 catches on 31 targets for 205 yards and one touchdown. Considering his production hasn't tailed off with Davis Mills and not C.J. Stroud (concussion) under center the last two contests, Schultz remains a viable fantasy option ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Bills.

The Cowboys placed Cornelius (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

The sixth-round rookie offensive lineman has appeared in one game this season, logging seven snaps on special teams. He'll miss at least the next four contests.

Williams was targeted once and caught one pass for 33 yards in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants. He also returned one kickoff for 33 yards.

Williams did not see a pass go in his direction until the fourth quarter, but he made the most of his lone target, tallying the longest reception of his rookie season on a scoring drive that provided the Packers with the final margin of victory. Williams has been more involved in the box score than he was early in the campaign, but he logged only two snaps Sunday and six the week before, so his chances to produce remain limited.
