Moore (concussion) caught two of three targets for 39 yards and a touchdown while taking his only carry for no gain in Sunday's 36-30 overtime win over the Cardinals.

Moore overcame the concussion he sustained in Week 15 in order to make a spot-start for Xavier Legette (hip) on Sunday. The 29-year-old Moore made the most of his opportunity, hauling in an 18-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter of an eventual upset victory. It is currently unclear if Legette will return in Week 17, but Moore's ceiling is likely limited to deep leagues even in the event he earns another start against Tampa Bay next Sunday.

Wilson caught six of seven targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams.

Wilson was limited to just one catch for 15 yards in the first half while Davante Adams led the team with five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown. The script flipped to a degree after halftime, as Wilson out-gained Adams, 39-16. Wilson has been the No. 2 option in the passing game rather than the co-No. 1 in recent weeks, so he'll be a less trustworthy fantasy option than Adams in Week 17 against the Bills.

Adams caught seven of 13 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams.

Coming off a 198-yard, two-touchdown second half in Week 15 against the Jaguars, Adams kept rolling with an 11-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. Adams and the entire Jets offense cooled off after that at freezing MetLife Stadium, but the star wide receiver led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards once again. With the hamstring injury that bothered him at the end of his Raiders tenure now a distant memory, Adams should remain a quality fantasy option for a Week 17 road game against the Bills, potentially barring western New York weather even worse than Sunday's frigid-but-snowless conditions at MetLife Stadium.

Coker (quadriceps) had two receptions on five targets for eight yards in Sunday's 36-30 overtime win over Arizona.

Coker was unable to replicate last week's 83-yard touchdown catch against the Cowboys, finishing with meager production against the Cardinals despite his team picking up the win. It is worth noting that the UDFA continues to play through a quadriceps injury that cost him three games of action prior to returning against Dallas in Week 15. Coker's inconsistent production and lingering injury concerns limit him to a deep-league option for next Sunday's tilt against the Buccaneers.

McCloud caught three of four targets for 19 yards and added eight rushing yards on his only carry in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Giants.

With rookie Michael Penix getting his first start at quarterback, the Falcons' passing game took a back seat to Bijan Robinson and the team's defense, and there wasn't much volume available for McCloud. Drake London did leave the game in the fourth quarter with a hamstring issue, however, and while initial reports suggest the injury isn't serious, his absence for a Week 17 clash with the Commanders would thrust McCloud into a larger role. The 28-year-old wideout has already set new career highs in 2024 with 57 catches for 607 yards on 79 targets.

Harrison had four receptions on eight targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 36-30 overtime loss to Carolina.

Harrison finished with three more targets than any teammate Sunday, but he failed to lead Arizona in any other receiving category in the overtime loss. The rookie prodigy has been a boom-or-bust asset in his first year as a pro, with more busts than booms in recent weeks. Harrison has finished above 50 receiving yards in just three of his last eight appearances, with all three of his touchdowns over that span coming in the games during which he eclipsed 50 yards. That rate of inconsistency makes Harrison a risky fantasy play in standard formats against the Rams in Week 17.

Mooney caught five of six targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Giants.

While the Falcons' passing game took a back seat to Bijan Robinson and the team's defense in Michael Penix's first NFL start, Mooney still posted respectable numbers and led Atlanta in receiving yards. He also tied with Drake London (hamstring) for the lead in receptions, although the latter made a late exit from the game. It was a reassuring rebound from Mooney after he failed to catch a pass in Week 15 -- Kirk Cousins' last start. The veteran wideout sits only 45 yards short of reaching 1,000 on the season for the second time in his career. He will try to build more chemistry with his new QB in Week 17 against the Commanders.

Kupp caught three of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Jets.

Kupp has faded at the worst possible time for fantasy managers, with just 24 yards on seven targets in Weeks 15 and 16 combined. Puka Nacua has 153 receiving yards on 17 targets over that span, so Nacua has pulled away from Kupp as the clear No. 1 option in the passing game. Kupp and the Rams will be back in Los Angeles for a Week 17 home game against the Cardinals, which should help the entire passing offense get back on track after struggling in the cold confines of MetLife Stadium.

Metchie (shoulder) was listed as limited on Sunday's practice estimate, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The Texans played the Chiefs on Saturday, so the team didn't actually hold a practice a day later. In any case, the status of Metchie -- who was inactive against Kansas City -- gains added import ahead of Wednesday's game against the Ravens, given that fellow wideout Tank Dell is in line to miss time with a knee injury.

Nacua caught eight of nine targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Jets.

Nacua accounted for more than half of Matthew Stafford's 110 passing yards as the Rams' passing game was stuck in first gear in freezing conditions. The second-year wideout fell short of 97 receiving yards for only the second time in his last seven games, but he'll be well positioned to bounce back in Week 17, when the Rams return home to host the Cardinals. That change in venue will be a welcome sight for the entire passing game after LA struggled to move the ball through the air in freezing conditions against the Jets.
