  • Browns' Marquise Goodwin: Limited Monday

    Goodwin logged a limited listing on Monday's practice estimate due to a knee injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Goodwin presumably picked up the injury in Sunday's 36-22 win over the Texans. He was on the field for nine offensive snaps (12 percent) in the contest and failed to bring in his only target. His status will need to be followed as the week goes on, but James Proche and David Bell would be candidates to see a few more snaps at receiver if Goodwin cannot give it a go Thursday versus the Jets.

  • Bears' Velus Jones: Continues to see light usage

    Jones rushed once for four yards in the Bears' 27-16 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    In addition to his lone rushing attempt, Jones failed to corral his only target. With 11 offensive touches on the season, Jones' low scoring floor and lack of upside will keep him from being a reliable fantasy option unless his role changes.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Bears' Darnell Mooney: Another poor perfromance

    Mooney caught two passes for five yards in the Bears' 27-16 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Mooney was third on the team with four targets, but for the third time in the last four contests, he was held to fewer than 15 yards. On the season, he hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 1, and Mooney has surpassed 53 yards once in a game all season. His recent struggles make the veteran receiver tough to trust in fantasy lineups.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Suiting up Monday

    Flowers (foot) is active for Monday's contest in San Francisco.

    After opening Week 16 prep last Thursday as limited due to a foot injury, Flowers followed it up with back-to-back full sessions but still was listed as questionable for Monday's outing. With his status now clarified, he'll be taking on a 49ers defense that has surrendered the fifth-most catches (202) to opposing wide receivers in 14 games this season.

  • Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA

    Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Big gain in Week 16 loss

    Tolbert caught both his targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 22-20 loss to the Dolphins.

    CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson were the only Cowboys to see more than two targets on the day, but Tolbert did the most he could with his, connecting with Dak Prescott on a 45-yard gain in the third quarter that set up a Brandon Aubrey field goal. Tolbert's role in the Dallas offense remains inconsistent, but the second-year wideout has caught multiple passes in five of the last eight contests, posting a modest 12-180-1 line on 22 targets over that stretch.

  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: Three touches against Vikings

    Raymond caught two of two targets for 29 yards while rushing once for eight yards during Sunday's win over Minnesota.

    Still running comfortably as the No. 4 option at wide receiver, Raymond got a few touches on offense but didn't even attempt a punt return. He'll remain off the fantasy radar Week 17 against Dallas.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: May have high-ankle injury

    Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Waddle may have suffered a high-ankle injury during Sunday's 22-20 win against the Cowboys, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Waddle first departed in Week 16 due to an eye injury, but after he was cleared to return, he eventually exited again due to what was called a shin issue at the time. After further testing, the Dolphins are honing in on the nature of the concern, and if he's diagnosed with the injury mentioned by McDaniel on Monday, Waddle could be in line for an absence of some kind. Wednesday's practice report will reveal how much work, if any, Waddle was able to handle as the team begins prep for Sunday's showdown at Baltimore.

  • Scott Miller WR | CHI

    Falcons' Scott Miller: Catches one pass

    Miller caught his only target for 15 yards during Sunday's 29-10 win over the Colts.

    Miller played a season-low seven offensive snaps but caught his first pass since Week 12. From Weeks 5-12, Miller caught seven of eight targets for 76 yards and two scores, but outside of that stretch, he has secured just two of six targets for 19 yards.

  • Van Jefferson WR | WAS

    Falcons' Van Jefferson: Non-factor in win

    Jefferson caught one of three targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 29-10 win over the Colts.

    Jefferson saw his most targets since Week 9 but recorded just one catch. Across 10 games with the Falcons, Jefferson has caught seven of 20 targets for 69 yards. In five appearances with the Rams to start the campaign, Jefferson secured eight of 15 targets for 108 yards.

  • Willie Snead WR | MIA

    49ers' Willie Snead: Signed to active roster

    The 49ers signed Snead to their active roster from their practice squad Monday.

    Snead will provide extra depth at receiver for Monday's matchup versus the Ravens as Jauan Jennings (concussion) is out. Snead had already been elevated the maximum of three times from the practice squad, so San Francisco had to sign him to the active roster in order for the 31-year-old to be eligible to play.
