Nsimba Webster WR | CHI
Nsimba Webster: Back down to practice squad
Webster was sent down to Chicago's practice squad Monday.
One week after playing the fourth-most snaps among Bears wide receivers, Webster was relegated to work on special teams, playing a total seven snaps. It's possible Webster might be elevated again in the future, but much of that will depend on the status of Chase Claypool (knee) and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion).

Cole Beasley WR | NYG
Cole Beasley: Lands back on practice squad
Beasley was sent back down to the Bills' practice squad Monday.
Beasley did catch his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's win, but the veteran played just six offensive snaps over the course of the game. Expect Beasley to be in consideration for another call in the coming weeks given his familiarity with the offense.

Andy Isabella WR | SF
Andy Isabella: Back to practice squad
Isabella reverted to Baltimore's practice squad Monday.
The speedster primarily played on special teams Saturday despite questionable depth at wide receiver for the Ravens. It's hard to imagine the 2019 second-round pick really carving out a substantial fantasy role, but the offense could improve if Lamar Jackson (knee) is able to return in Week 17.

Mike Williams WR | LAC
Chargers' Mike Williams: Makes most of four targets
Williams recorded four receptions on four targets for 76 yards in Monday's 20-3 win over the Colts.
Williams saw limited targets, as Keenan Allen dominated opportunity among the Chargers' pass catchers. However, Williams made the most of his looks, tallying gains of 26, 16, 16 and 14 yards. Though he's scored only one touchdown across three games since returning from an ankle injury, Williams has at least four receptions and 67 yards in each of those matchups.

Michael Pittman WR | PIT
Colts' Michael Pittman: Limited to 39 yards by Chargers
Pittman recorded four receptions on seven targets for 39 yards in Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers.
Pittman led the Colts with seven targets with Nick Foles under center, though he struggled to produce until late in the game. The majority of his production came with four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter on a 19-yard reception -- his only double-digit gain of the contest. Though Pittman has operated as the centerpiece of the Colts' passing attack, he has surpassed 70 receiving yards in only four of 15 games for the season.
-
Quez Watkins WR | PHI
Eagles' Quez Watkins: Quiet in loss
Watkins caught one of five targets for 19 yards in Saturday's 40-34 loss to the Cowboys.
Operating as the Eagles' No. 3 receiver, Watkins was unable to contribute much on offense. Both A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, however, were focal points of Philadelphia's aerial attack. Though his 72 percent offensive snap share was his largest of the past four games, Watkins involvement in the Eagles' offense remains difficult to trust each week. Watkins will look to be more involved when Philadelphia hosts the Saints in Week 17.

Keenan Allen WR | IND
Chargers' Keenan Allen: Targeted 14 times in Week 16
Allen recorded 11 receptions on 14 targets for 104 yards in Monday's 20-3 win over the Colts.
Allen earned 14 targets for the third time in his last four games, a mark made more impressive by the fact that Justin Herbert attempted only 31 passes in Monday's win. Allen's performance was highlighted by a long gain of 25 yards, and he narrowly missed a touchdown on the play as he attempted to stay inbounds while running free down the sideline. Though he missed out on the opportunity to reach the end zone, Allen did manage his first 100-yard performance of the season and has at least 85 receiving yards in five of his last six games.
-
Ashton Dulin WR | IND
Colts' Ashton Dulin: Out with concussion
Dulin won't return after suffering a concussion during the second quarter of Monday's game against the Chargers, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
The injury in question occurred after the receiver attempted to catch a pass in the flat before Chargers safety Derwin James blew up the play with a helmet-to-helmet hit that drew a targeting penalty and an ejection for the defender. Dulin finishes Monday's game without a reception across eight snaps.
-
K.J. Osborn WR | TEN
Vikings' K.J. Osborn: Catches three passes in win
Osborn caught three of four targets for 17 yards in Saturday's 27-24 win over the Giants.
Osborn's underwhelming day was a disappointment for fantasy managers hoping for something close to his Week 15 performance, when the wideout caught 10 of his 16 targets for 157 yards and a touchdown. The 25-year-old remains involved as Minnesota's No. 3 receiver, as the Vikings run a high-volume passing attack. With that said, Osborn's fantasy potential is difficult to forecast with so many mouths to feed on one of the league's most talented offenses. The veteran wideout will look to get back on track when the Vikings visit the Packers in Week 17.
-
Adam Thielen WR | PIT
Vikings' Adam Thielen: Catches one pass in win
Thielen caught one of five targets for six yards in Saturday's 27-24 win over the Giants.
Thielen's underwhelming performance came on a day when quarterback Kirk Cousins attempted 48 passes. Though his five targets were a slight improvement from the four looks he saw in Week 15, the veteran was able to reel in just one catch. Meanwhile, both Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson tied for a team-high 16 targets and turned in outstanding fantasy performances. The Vikings remain a high-volume passing offense, so Thielen will look to bounce back when the Vikings visit the Packers in Week 17.
