Mingo caught his only target for a 25-yard gain in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.

His first catch of the season came on the Cowboys' final drive, helping to set up a Brandon Aubrey field goal that got the home side to within a score, but they couldn't recover the subsequent onside kick. Mingo has seen only two targets in three games since making his 2025 debut in Week 12, and it would likely take a rash of injuries ahead of him on the depth chart to get him on the fantasy radar.

Turpin gained two rushing yards on his lone carry, caught both his targets for 10 yards and added 124 yards on four kickoff returns in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.

The 29-year-old speedster continues to be a force on special teams while seeing limited opportunities on offense. Turpin has topped 100 return yards in five of the last six games, and on the season his 1,336 kickoff return yards are third in the NFL behind Tennessee's Chimere Dike (1,413) and Minnesota's Myles Price (1,405). Turpin does have at least three touches on offense in four straight games, however, putting together a modest 155 yards from scrimmage during that stretch.

Flournoy caught four of five targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.

The four grabs and 40 yards wound up second on the Cowboys behind CeeDee Lamb's 6-111-0 line. Flournoy has caught at least three passes in three straight games, putting together a 16-189-1 line on 21 targets over that stretch, but as long as both Lamb and George Pickens are healthy, the second-year wideout will be a risky fantasy option.

The Steelers will sign Valdes-Scantling to the active roster for Monday's game against the Dolphins, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Valdes-Scantling was expected to be elevated from the practice squad for a second time Monday, but Pittsburgh will instead add him to the 53-man squad, making him eligible to suit up for the remainder of the 2025 campaign. He was elevated for the team's Week 14 contest against the Ravens, in which he played 31 percent of the offensive snaps and failed to secure his only target. Valdes-Scantling doesn't stand to provide much fantasy value as the team's No. 4 receiver behind DK Metcalf, Adam Thielen and Calvin Austin.

Legette caught two of three targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

Sunday's loss marked Legette's eighth game of the season with two or fewer receptions, though he still finished with the second-most receiving yards on the Panthers. The second-year pro has now caught 30 of 56 targets for 326 yards and three touchdowns across 12 appearances this year. Offensive consistency issues in Carolina likely make Legette too risky a fantasy option for a Week 16 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Hopkins caught his lone target for a 32-yard gain Sunday against the Bengals.

The veteran wideout did not get a significant bump in snaps despite Rashod Bateman (ankle) being sidelined. Still, Hopkins made his one target count with a big 32-yard catch-and-run that helped set up a Baltimore touchdown. In all, he played just 13 offensive snaps for the second week in a row. Hopkins and the Ravens host the Patriots on Sunday Night Football in Week 16.

Douglas was on the field for 10 out of a possible 52 snaps on offense in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

Douglas wasn't targeted in Sunday's contest, but he did record one carry for five yards. As long as fellow WRs Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins continue to out-touch and out-snap him, Douglas' fantasy utility will remain modest.

TeSlaa failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.

TeSlaa maintained his edge as the team's No. 3 wide receiver in Week 15, playing 39 offensive snaps to Kalif Raymond's 11, but the rookie went without a catch for the third time in five games. The wideout found the end zone in each of the last two games entering Sunday, both of which were with Raymond sidelined by an ankle injury, but TeSlaa's streak was snapped against Los Angeles. TeSlaa has shown great potential in Detroit's offense during his rookie campaign, but he's been limited to eight catches on 15 targets while scoring four touchdowns over 14 contests.

Raymond caught his only target for 20 yards and added 15 yards on a punt return in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.

Raymond was making his return to action after missing two weeks with an ankle injury, and he was only on the field for 11 offensive plays. He was outpaced by rookie wideout Isaac TeSlaa (39) in offensive snaps, though TeSlaa failed to reel in his only target. Raymond has yet to find the end zone through the air this season, and he's now caught 16 of 20 targets for 170 yards over 12 contests this year.

The Packers believe Watson (chest/shoulder) did not suffer a major injury during Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Watson was forced out of Sunday's road loss to Denver and taken to a hospital for evaluation, though he was cleared to join his teammates for the return flight to Green Bay. It's a piece of welcome news for the Packers that Watson seemingly won't endure a long absence, but the explosive wideout now faces a short recovery window leading up to Saturday's key road divisional matchup against the Bears. In the event that Watson isn't able to get healthy in time for Week 16, Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton could see increased roles alongside Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed.
