The Bengals listed Chase as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report due to an ankle injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Chase was in uniform for the portion of Tuesday's walk-through session that was open to the media, but the receiver wouldn't have taken any reps if the Bengals held a traditional practice. Though the team provided no indication at the time that Chase had sustained an injury Sunday, the ankle issue may explain why he was limited to three catches for 29 yards on four targets while playing 86 percent of snaps in what was a favorable matchup on paper. He'll have two more chances to potentially log some practice reps before the Bengals make a call on his availability for this Saturday's game against the Vikings.

Allen (heel) was listed as a non-participant for Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Following Sunday's 24-7 loss to the Broncos, the Chargers didn't put in any on-field work Monday, but Allen was estimated as a non-participant while he manages a heel issue. The team held only a light walk-through session Tuesday, but Allen once again remained a spectator. He'll have one more opportunity to take some practice reps this week before Thursday's game against the Raiders. Even if Allen is able to play without restrictions to his snap count, his fantasy stock has taken a hit after quarterback Justin Herbert was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Easton Stick, who has made just two appearances and zero starts in his five-year professional career, will step in as the starting quarterback beginning with Thursday's game.

The Chargers activated Palmer (knee) from injured reserve Tuesday.

Palmer has missed the Chargers' last six games, but after turning in three limited practices last week and then being estimated as a full participant on Monday's practice report, he looks set to return to the lineup Thursday against the Raiders. In his last five appearances before landing on IR with a right knee sprain, Palmer made a fantasy splash with 19 catches for 360 yards and a touchdown, but he could struggle to replicate that production down the stretch. The Chargers placed franchise signal-caller Justin Herbert (finger) on injured reserve Tuesday, so Palmer will instead be on the receiving end of passes from Easton Stick, who will make his first career start Thursday.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Hill (ankle) is considered day-to-day, and the receiver's availability for Sunday's game against the Jets has yet to be determined, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. "A little early to be that confident either way [for Week 15]," McDaniel said of Hill's status. "It was a painful ankle. Until he flat out tells me there's no doubt he's going to play, you always have to plan for everything."

Though mid-game visits to the locker room or the injury tent on the sideline haven't been out of the ordinary for Hill this season, the wideout struggled to bounce back from the ankle injury he suffered in the first quarter of Monday's 28-27 loss to the Titans. After sustaining the injury while being tackled as he was making his way out of bounds, Hill missed the entire second quarter before checking back into the game for the second drive of the third quarter. Hill ended the night having played just 34 of the Dolphins' 72 snaps on offense and finished with four catches for 61 yards on five targets. With the team facing a shorter week than usual after Monday's contest, Hill will most likely have his practice reps managed to some degree, though that won't necessarily prevent him from playing Sunday.

Trammell played two snaps on offense and returned one kickoff for 22 yards and three punts for nine yards in Sunday's 37-31 overtime loss to the Ravens.

Since playing 71 percent of the Rams' snaps on offense in a Week 11 win over the Seahawks in which Cooper Kupp exited early with an ankle injury, Trammell has logged just six snaps on offense in total over Los Angeles' subsequent three contests. Even though the team's receiver depth took a hit with Tutu Atwell (concussion) exiting in the second quarter Sunday, the Rams turned to Demarcus Robinson and Ben Skowronek (ankle) before Trammell to handle reps alongside Kupp and Puka Nacua. Trammell should remain active on game days due to his role as the team's top kickoff and punt returner, but he's unlikely to see a substantial increase in playing time on offense even if both Atwell and Skowronek miss the Rams' Week 15 game versus the Commanders.

The Ravens are expected to place Duvernay (back) on injured reserve this week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Duvernay exited Sunday's 37-31 overtime win over the Rams with a back issue. According to Rapoport, the two-time Pro Bowl return man won't require a procedure to address the injury and should be back for the playoffs, but he'll miss the final four games of the regular season. Tylan Wallace should handle return duties for Baltimore in Duvernay's stead, while the team signed quarterback/wide receiver Malik Cunningham off the Patriots' practice squad to fill the open spot on the 53-man roster.

Watson gathered in his only target for 18 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss against the Bills.

Watson has collected a combined two passes over his last three games and has hauled in more than two passes in a game just twice all season, leaving the veteran wideout off the fantasy radar in most fantasy formats. He continues to play regular snaps out wide but isn't a major factor as a receiver.

Guyton brought in his sole target for eight yards in Sunday's 24-7 loss to the Broncos.

Guyton saw a season low in offensive snaps with only 21, which was less than half of both rookie receiver Quentin Johnston (60) and veteran castoff Alex Erickson (45). Additionally, with Joshua Palmer (knee) trending toward a return this week and quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) now out for the year, Guyton will likely see an even smaller role on an already struggling offensive team.

Erickson brought in one of his seven targets for nine yards against the Broncos in Sunday's 24-7 loss.

With injury issues plaguing the Chargers receiving corps, Erickson has seen an increased involvement in the offense but has failed to record a game with more than one reception in his four appearances this season. The eye-popping target figure was matched by an equally shocking inefficiency, and it's not like the 31-year-old was targeted all that often deep, save for a shot early in the first half with Justin Herbert still healthy. Wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee) could return to action this week, which would relegate Erickson further down the depth chart, and the offense as a whole looks far less enticing with Herbert (finger) now done for the season.

Davis was held without a catch on two targets in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.

While Davis posted a slick 6-105-1 line in Week 12 heading into the Bills' bye, he's now been shut out in two out of the last three contests. He's become an all-or-nothing type of fantasy play -- he has six or more catches in four outings this season but three or less in the other nine games. He's also fallen behind high-upside rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid in the pecking order, seemingly putting Davis as the No. 4 option in the passing game once you factor in Stefon Diggs and running back James Cook. Davis can pop at any moment, especially when teams fail to pay much attention to him, but he's going to be tough to trust with a fantasy playoff outcome on the line.
