Deonte Harty WR | BAL
Bills' Deonte Harty: One catch in win
Harty secured his lone target for 25 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs.
Harty played a season-low four percent of snaps Sunday, the lowest offensive snap share of any Buffalo pass catcher. Buried on the depth chart, the veteran wideout holds little value for fantasy. Harty will continue to face an uphill battle for playing time when the Bills square off against the Cowboys in Week 15.

Khalil Shakir WR | BUF
Bills' Khalil Shakir: Reels in one catch
Shakir caught his only target for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs.
Shakir played 61 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps in the contest, operating as Buffalo's No. 3 wideout behind Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. The 23-year-old wideout saw his opportunities decrease Sunday, as he recorded just one target for the first time since Week 6. Shakir isn't seeing enough meaningful work in the Bills' passing attack to make him a reliable option for fantasy. He'll look to be more involved in what could be a shootout when the Bills host the Cowboys in Week 15.

Treylon Burks WR | WAS
Titans' Treylon Burks: Sees uptick in snaps
Burks recorded one catch on three targets for one yard in Monday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins.
Burks saw his role tick up in his second game back from a concussion, as he participated in 65 percent of offensive snaps Monday. However, that didn't translate to more production, and he now has only one catch in two games since returning. Given the lack of reliable pass catchers in Tennessee's offense, it's possible that Burks can increase his production by the close of the regular season, but there's been no sign of that to this point.

Chris Moore WR | WAS
Titans' Chris Moore: Targeted only once
Moore recorded one catch on one target for 22 yards in Monday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins.
Moore has provided explosive plays for the Titans' offense this season, as Monday's catch marked his eighth gain of at least 20 yards. Despite the efficiency, he has one or fewer receptions in 10 of 13 games on the campaign.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine WR | IND
Titans' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Makes two catches
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded two receptions on four targets for 28 yards in Monday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins. He also caught a pass to convert a two-point conversion.
Westbrook-Ikhine was on the field for a season-best 90 percent of offensive snaps, though that didn't translate to additional production. Since the team's bye in Week 7, he has topped 30 receiving yards just twice in seven contests. Westbrook-Ikhine did convert a key two-point conversion for the Titans midway through the fourth quarter, his most significant contribution to the victory.

Jalen Nailor WR | LV
Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Not cleared to practice
Nailor (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.
Nailor sustained the concussion at some point during Sunday's 3-0 win over the Raiders, but he played 17 snaps on offense and recorded two catches for 13 yards on five targets prior to leaving the contest. He'll have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to be available for Saturday's matchup against the Bengals.

Chase Cota WR | CLE
Chase Cota: Joins Houston's practice squad
The Texans signed Cota to the practice squad Tuesday.
The move corresponds with Houston letting go kicker Matt Ammendola from the taxi squad. Cota signed with the Chiefs' practice squad on Sept. 26 after reaching an injury settlement with the Lions on Aug. 30. The addition of Cota may be insurance for the Texans, who placed Tank Dell (fibula) on injured reserve Dec. 5 while Nico Collins was knocked out of Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jetts with a calf injury.

Thyrick Pitts WR | GB
Thyrick Pitts: Finds new opportunity
Pitts signed with the Packers' practice squad Tuesday.
Pitts has spent time with the Bears and Patriots since going undrafted out of Delaware in 2023, but has yet to make his NFL debut. He'll help boost the team's organizational depth at wideout as Christian Watson continues to deal with a hamstring injury and because Dontayvion Wicks suffered an ankle injury in Monday's loss to the Packers.
-
Justin Jefferson WR | MIN
Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Limited Tuesday
Jefferson (chest) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell labeled Jefferson as day-to-day after the receiver exited Sunday's 3-0 win over the Raiders with a chest injury, and it's encouraging news that he wasn't estimated as a non-participant. More clarity on Jefferson's status for Saturday's game against the Bengals will come as the week progresses, but if the wideout does play, he'll be on the receiving end of passes from quarterback Nick Mullens, who has been named the Vikings' Week 15 starter.

Tyler Boyd WR | TEN
Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Limited in first Week 15 practice
Boyd (foot/ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Jay Morrison of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Cincinnati held a walk-through session to kick off Week 15 prep, but if the team had taken the field for a traditional practice, Boyd would have had some restrictions. The wideout was listed as questionable leading up to this past Sunday's game against the Colts due to an ankle issue, but he suited up and finished with two catches for 23 yards on three targets while playing 31 of the Bengals' 60 snaps on offense in the 34-14 win. Boyd should be ready to play this coming Saturday in a Week 15 matchup with the Vikings.
