Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said Wednesday that he's unsure about Chark's chances of playing Week 17 against the Colts while the receiver tends to a shin injury, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.

Jacksonville hadn't previously announced that Chark picked up an injury in the Week 16 loss to the Bears, during which he played 75 percent of the offensive snaps and grabbed four of seven targets for 62 yards and a touchdown. Chark's activity (or lack thereof) in practices Wednesday through Friday will likely determine whether the wideout plays in the season finale, but the Jaguars could be hesitant to keep him active if he's not able to advance to full participation by the end of the week. The 1-14 Jaguars have little at stake Week 17, so it would make sense for the organization to take a cautious approach with a player who will be a big part of its plans in 2021.

Treadwell caught both of his targets for 11 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Chiefs.

Treadwell has only attracted four targets over the past three weeks, but two have gone for touchdowns. Having signed to the Falcons' practice squad Sept. 16, the 2016 first-round pick didn't make his regular-season debut with the team until Week 13. If Julio Jones (hamstring) were to return from his three-game absence to face the Buccaneers on Sunday, Treadwell's role likely would decrease for Atlanta's 2020 finale.

Reed fielded seven special-teams snaps during Sunday's 19-16 win against the Broncos.

Reed hasn't taken a snap on offense since Week 9, and he has just five offensive touches (all rush attempts) for 29 yards on the season. Most of the 22-year-old's involvement has come via special teams, where he is averaging 20.7 yards per tote over 21 kickoff returns. Los Angeles' only kick-return opportunity Sunday against the Broncos went to Nasir Adderley.

Edwards caught his lone target for an 11-yard gain during Saturday's 26-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Ankle and foot injuries cost Edwards a total of four games between October and November. Even when on the field, however, the third-round rookie has been largely unimpactful. He flashed with four combined receptions for 90 yards between Weeks 2 and 3, but since returning from injury Week 9 against the Chargers, Edwards has yet to exceed one catch or 16 yards in any outing. He remains a depth receiving option as the Raiders move into a Week 17 matchup against the Broncos that is no longer postseason relevant.

Wilson was not targeted during Sunday's 37-17 win against the Eagles.

During a vital Week 16 win, Wilson fielded 12 or more offensive snaps for the fifth time over his past six appearances. The 25-year-old continues to find himself in the midst of a production slump, however, remaining without a reception since Week 11. Wilson's most notable outing this season came when he racked up five catches for 107 yards and two touchdowns Sept. 27 at Seattle. But in his 10 game appearances since Dak Prescott's season-ending ankle injury, Wilson hasn't exceeded 10 receiving yards.

Johnson caught all three of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Broncos.

Despite the absence of Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Hunter Henry (reserve/COVID-19 list), Johnson put together easily his worst game in December, seeing just three targets despite a 77 percent offensive snap share. With a host of Chiefs players unlikely to play in a meaningless Week 17 contest and the possible return of the aforementioned injured pass catchers, Johnson's fantasy spotlight might wane to end the 2020 campaign.

Guyton caught three of his five targets for 43 yards in the 19-16 win Sunday over the Broncos.

For a fourth consecutive week, Guyton saw the most offensive snaps of any wide receiver, but the speedy wideout was once again used as a decoy despite Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Hunter Henry (reserve/COVID-19 list) ruled out ahead of the contest. The 23-year-old Guyton has risen from relative obscurity to tally at least 30 receiving yards in four of the last five games, but he is simply a cursory cast member when considering the rest of the Chargers' dangerous receiving ensemble.

Coach Sean McDermott called Cole Beasley "week-to-week" with the leg injury he suffered during Monday's 38-9 win at New England, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

According to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, Beasley got banged up near the end of the game and made his way to the locker room early, capping him to a season-low 17 receiving yards on three catches and five targets. Because of how McDermott spoke of Beasley, the veteran wide receiver seems in danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Dolphins, but in the end it may be the prudent decision to make for a team with high aspirations this postseason.

The Rams placed Kupp (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

Jackson noted that the Rams are prohibited by league rules from revealing whether a player tested positive for COVID-19 or merely was a close contact of someone who tested positive. In any case, Kupp's status for Sunday's key matchup against the Cardinals now is in question.

Duvernay caught his lone target for no gain and rushed once for seven yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants. He also returned two punts for 36 yards and two kicks for 39 yards.

Duvernay took over as the primary punt returner and immediately showed promise, recording returns of 23 and 13 yards. However, the rookie third-rounder continues to stay out of the offensive game plan, as he's recorded just six receptions for 27 yards over the last six contests.
