  • Keke Coutee WR | MIA

    Keke Coutee: Returns to practice squad

    Coutee reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Coutee has bounced back and forth between Indianapolis' practice squad and active roster, logging one reception over six appearances heading into Week 17. The 25-year-old wideout once again ended up playing only on special teams, and for one snap at that, during Sunday's loss to the Giants. Coutee should will be eligible for his final elevation from the practice squad heading into the Week 18 matchup versus his former Texans squad.

  • 49ers' Ray-Ray McCloud: Converts long catch in win

    McCloud had one reception (two targets) for 41 yards in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the Raiders.

    McCloud produced a big-splash play for the second consecutive week, although this one fell short of going for a touchdown. The return specialist is proving that he can be a home-run threat on offense, but his role is too inconsistent to be relied upon in fantasy. McCloud has recorded more than one reception just once this season (Week 7), so more of the same can be expected against the Cardinals on Sunday.

  • Jauan Jennings WR | MIN

    49ers' Jauan Jennings: Gains 46 yards on two receptions

    Jennings caught two of three targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Raiders.

    Jennings made a couple of big catches in his third start in place of Deebo Samuel (ankle/knee), but his target share remained low despite the increased role. It has become clear that head coach Kyle Shanahan doesn't plan to draw up more plays for the veteran wideout even as a starter. That being said, Jennings' value should remain unchanged whether or not Samuel is able to return against the Cardinals on Sunday.

  • Andy Isabella: Shifts back to practice squad

    Isabella reverted to Baltimore's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Isabella was promoted to the active roster for the second time in as many weeks ahead of Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh. He wound up logging a one-yard rush while playing three of his six snaps on offense, and he was forced out with a thigh injury during the third quarter. It's unclear if this issue will affect his availability for the Ravens' regular-season finale, but he should still be considered a top candidate for a depth role in the team's undermanned receiving corps when healthy.

  • Josh Ali WR | ATL

    Josh Ali: Moves back to practice squad

    Ali reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Ali was elevated to the active roster for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's win over the Cardinals. However, the undrafted rookie never wound up seeing the field despite being active for the contest. Ali will now have a chance to make his NFL debut if he is once again elevated for the regular-season finale versus Carolina this coming Sunday.

  • Seahawks' Laquon Treadwell: Big role again

    Treadwell caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets.

    Tyler Lockett returned to the lineup but missed a major chunk of the game due to a leg injury, so Treadwell played 55 percent of the snaps. He handled an 85 percent share in Week 16. He appears to be the clear No. 3 in this offense right now because Marquise Goodwin (shoulder) is on injured reserve. However, Treadwell's role will be scaled back significantly if Lockett is healthy heading into Week 18 versus the Rams.

  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Battles through injury in Week 18

    Lockett caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets in Week 17.

    Lockett returned from a one-week absence due to a hand injury, but he picked up a leg injury during the game and ended up playing just 22 snaps (31 percent). While he did return to the game, it will be worth monitoring Lockett's status during the week ahead of the regular-season finale versus the Rams. The Seahawks are still in the playoff hunt, so if Lockett is active, we should expect him to handle his typical role.

  • Cole Beasley WR | NYG

    Bills' Cole Beasley: Elevated for MNF

    The Bills elevated Beasley from the practice squad to their active roster for Monday's matchup against Cincinnati, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Beasley will be active for a third straight game. He's caught his lone target for nine yards in both of his past two appearances, totaling 15 offensive snaps in those games. The veteran wideout figures to see a similar role during Monday Night Football.

  • Panthers' Laviska Shenault: Gets three touches

    Shenault caught two of three targets for 13 yards and rushed once for seven yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Shenault struggled to make an impact while fellow depth wideout Shi Smith enjoyed his best game of the season, catching four targets for 70 yards and a score. To end the campaign, Shenault will face a Saints defense that he caught two passes for 90 yards and a touchdown against while making his Panthers debut in Week 3.

  • Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Quiet in defeat

    Marshall caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Marshall also coughed the ball up twice but didn't lose either fumble. The wideout had topped 50 yards in consecutive contests entering Sunday, so he'll strive to bounce back and finish the season strong Week 18 versus his home-state Saints.
