DJ Turner WR | LV
Raiders' DJ Turner: Active for Monday's game
Turner (shoulder) is active for Monday's game against the Chiefs.
Turner was listed as questionable to suit up Christmas Day after turning in DNP/DNP/LP practice results Week 16, but he's available for the Raiders in Kansas City. He stands to handle his usual role as a special-teams contributor Monday, having played just six offensive snaps across seven appearances this season.

Cedrick Wilson Jr. WR | DET
Dolphins' Cedrick Wilson: Makes impact in narrow win
Wilson secured three of five targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 22-20 win over Dallas.
Wilson tallied his highest yardage total since Week 7, in part due to Jaylen Waddle (shin) exiting in the third quarter. Should Waddle miss any further time, Wilson would stand to handle a more significant role behind Tyreek Hill, who recently dealt with an ankle injury of his own. Wilson could become an interesting streaming option in Week 17 against Baltimore.

Tyquan Thornton WR | KC
Patriots' Tyquan Thornton: One catch in Week 16
Thornton was on the field for five of 58 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Broncos, catching his only target for 11 yards.
Even with JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) inactive, Thornton saw limited usage. The 2022 second-rounder has two more games in which to make his mark before the 2023 season ends, but with just 10 catches for 67 yards on 20 targets in eight games to date, he remains off the fantasy radar.

Jalen Reagor WR | MIA
Patriots' Jalen Reagor: Two catches Sunday
Reagor logged 50 of 58 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Broncos, catching both of his targets Sunday for 33 yards
Reagor saw added work with JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) unavailable. With just five catches on 15 targets for 66 yards in nine games overall, however, Reagor remains off the fantasy radar ahead of New England's Dec. 31 contest against the Bills.

Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Set for evaluation Monday
Waddle is set to undergo further evaluation Monday after exiting Sunday's 22-20 win over the Cowboys in the third quarter with a shin injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The fact that the wideout wasn't able to check back into a closely contested game despite being listed as questionable to return is a discouraging sign. Before exiting the game, Waddle hauled in one of four targets for 50 yards over 28 snaps, with his production taking a noticeable hit from the week prior (season-high 142 receiving yards on eight catches) following the return of No. 1 wideout Tyreek Hill from an ankle injury. Even if Waddle's evaluation reveals no significant injury, his practice activity could be limited during the week in an effort to make sure he's available for a Week 17 contest in Baltimore.

Jordan Addison WR | MIN
Vikings' Jordan Addison: Viewed as week-to-week
Addison is considered week-to-week due to the ankle sprain he sustained during Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Per Rapoport, added context regarding Addison's status should arrive once the wideout undergoes further tests Monday. Prior to his exit from Sunday's contest, the wideout played 21 of 55 snaps on offense, catching one of his four targets for two yards. If Addison is forced to miss this weekend's contest against the Packers, both K.J. Osborn and Brandon Powell would be in store for expanded reps behind No. 1 wideout Justin Jefferson.

Marvin Mims WR | DEN
Broncos' Marvin Mims: Fumble costs team seven points
Mims caught three of four targets for 63 yards and lost a fumble on a kickoff return in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Broncos.
Mims finished as the Broncos' leading receiver while also recording the game's longest catch of 47 yards. The 21-year-old spoiled that honor when he muffed a kickoff return in the third quarter and then proceeded to fumble the ball after picking up his initial gaffe. The Patriots' coverage team recovered the ball in the end zone to give them 14 points in the span of eight seconds. Fortunately for fantasy managers, the pair of fumbles only counts as one in the official scorebook. Despite his mistake as a return man Sunday, Mims could be in store for more looks as a receiver in Week 16 if Courtland Sutton (concussion) isn't ready for next Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

Tim Jones WR | JAC
Jaguars' Tim Jones: Catches three passes Week 16
Jones secured three of five targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 30-12 loss against Tampa Bay.
The 25-year-old hauled in his first catch since Week 10 and now has 10 receptions for 76 yards this season. Jones is unlikely to be a relevant name for fantasy players, but he could continue to have an increased role if Zay Jones (hamstring) misses more time.
-
Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: Quiet in blowout
Washington caught two of four targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Buccaneers.
Washington was unable to get in a groove with either Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) or backup C.J. Beathard, finishing below 20 receiving yards for the second straight game. Tim Jones and Elijah Cooks were similarly involved Sunday, but Calvin Ridley and Evan Engram are likely to remain the only notable producers in Jacksonville's passing game due to Christian Kirk (groin) being on injured reserve.
-
Demario Douglas WR | NE
Patriots' Demario Douglas: Good showing against Denver
Douglas recorded five receptions on nine targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Broncos.
Douglas paired with DeVante Parker to lead a depleted New England pass-catching corps that was without JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) and Hunter Henry (knee). He picked up the majority of his yardage on a 41-yard contested catch over a Broncos defender early in the third quarter. Overall, Douglas has topped over 70 yards in two of his last four games, though that was interrupted by two missed contests due to a concussion. His strong close to the season could help him secure a significant role with the team in 2024, even if there are upgrades to the skill-position groups.
