Hodge reeled in his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 9-7 loss to the Panthers.

Hodge recorded just one catch for the second straight week while playing just 19 of the Falcons' 52 offensive snaps in Week 15. The veteran wideout continues to be mostly an afterthought in Atlanta's offensive attack, diminishing his fantasy utility. Hodge will look to get more involved in Week 16 when the Falcons host the Colts.

Jones secured two of three targets for 10 yards in Saturday's 27-24 overtime win over the Vikings.

Jones played on just four of the Cincinnati's 70 offensive snaps Saturday, the fewest of any Bengals pass catcher. The wideout's two grabs were his first since Week 3, as Jones has only been targeted in two of the eight games in which he's played. Based on his extremely limited usage in the passing game, the rookie will be far off the fantasy radar when the Bengals visit the Steelers in Week 16, even with the likelihood that top wideout Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) is out of the lineup.

Dortch caught two of three passes for 15 yards, had a five-yard carry and returned one punt for no yards in Sunday's 45-29 loss to the 49ers.

For a fourth contest in a row, Dortch earned at least a 65 percent snap share, an increase that has been aided by injuries to Marquise Brown (heel) and Michael Wilson. Wilson returned in Week 15 from a three-game absence due to a neck injury and logged an 88-percent snap share, while Brown departed for a second straight outing. Dortch has managed just a 12-137-1 line on 23 targets during those four games, but if Brown finally requires a full absence, the former may remain a regular in the passing attack along with Wilson, Rondale Moore and Zach Pascal.

Watkins did not record a reception in Monday's loss to the Seahawks.

Watkins was on the field for more than half the Eagles' offensive snaps, but Jalen Hurts looked his way just once and failed to complete the pass. Watkins has now gone catchless two weeks in a row and in four of his seven games in total this season.

Iosivas had one catch for five yards on 18 offensive snaps in Saturday's overtime win over the Vikings. He also made a game-saving fumble recovery on a punt return by Charlie Jones before the end of regulation.

Jones was blasted by his own blocker, who was shoved into him. Iosivas was aware enough to spring onto the fumble and prevent the Vikings from being in position to attempt a game-winning field goal. Iosivas could get more action next week if Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) sits out Saturday against the Steelers as anticipated.

Atwell (concussion) was a full participant at Tuesday's walkthrough, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Atwell was listed the same way on Monday's practice estimate, but the Rams actually logged some on-field work one day later. There's an expectation from Sean McVay that Atwell will return from a one-game absence Thursday at New Orleans after making his way through the concussion protocol as of Monday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Nevertheless, Atwell has surpassed 30 receiving yards just twice over his last 10 appearances en route to a cumulative 20-230-2 line on 37 targets and two carries for eight yards during that stretch.

Allen (heel) officially didn't practice Tuesday.

He was seen working on the side with a team trainer earlier Tuesday, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com, so the wide receiver's listing on the Chargers' first Week 16 injury report was of great interest. However, Allen maintained his lack of activity from last week, giving him just two more chances to mix into drills ahead of Saturday's game against the Bills.

Olave (ankle) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report.

After failing to practice in any capacity last week and kicking off this week as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Olave was able to take part in Tuesday's walkthrough, albeit with a cap on his reps. It's the first positive sign for Olave's status since he showed up on the Saints' Week 15 injury report last Wednesday, and he'll have one more chance to prove his health before the team potentially makes a ruling on his availability for Thursday's game at the Rams. Currently, Rashid Shaheed, Lynn Bowden, A.T. Perry and Keith Kirkwood are the healthy wide receivers on New Orleans' active roster.

The Colts signed Mickens to their practice squad Tuesday.

Mickens was cut by the Giants prior to Week 1, but he's now found a new opportunity in Indianapolis. He hasn't suited up for a regular-season game since 2021 with Tampa Bay, where he played mostly on special teams.

Allen (heel) was spotted working with a team trainer on the side at Tuesday's practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Whether or not Allen mixes into drills to kick off Week 16 prep remains to be seen, but he was estimated as a non-participant on all three injury reports last week due to a heel issue before the Chargers ruled him out ahead of last Thursday's game at Las Vegas. Tuesday's practice report will reveal if the 11-year pro was able to handle any work.
