Coach Doug Marrone said Chark rolled his ankle Sunday against the Chargers and is considered "day-to-day or week-to-week," Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL reports.

Chark exited in the latter stages of the Jaguars' Week 14 defeat, finishing his day with nine catches (on 10 targets) for 75 yards. Considering Marrone couldn't hone in on a recovery timetable, Chark's ability to practice this week will be telling for his upcoming availability. Notably -- and perhaps as a precautionary measure -- Chark has been in a walking boot since postgame Sunday. Any sort of absence from Chark will whittle down the receiving corps, whose healthy members include Dede Westbrook, Chris Conley, Keelan Cole and Michael Walker.

Ridley (abdomen) indicated Monday that he's out for the season, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

With Ridley out of the mix, Julio Jones and Russell Gage will head the Falcons' receiving corps down the stretch, with Olamide Zaccheaus, Christian Blake and Justin Hardy all candidates to see added looks in the team's passing attack.

Bourne caught three of four targets for 18 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 48-46 win over the Saints.

Bourne's strong fantasy line was buoyed by a pair of TD grabs, bringing his season total up to a new career high of five through 13 games. The 24-year-old's nose for the end zone isn't a fluke, as his size (6-foot-1) makes him an ideal target on the outside when stacked up against his fellow wideouts, who all check in under six feet. Bourne maintained his spot as third on the wide receiver depth chart -- 57 percent of the offensive snaps -- but he doesn't garner enough targets (he's averaging three targets over the last three games) to be trusted outside of deeper formats, as his value is largely touchdown-dependent.

Valdes-Scantling played just 10 snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's victory over Washington.

The Packers used their tight ends more often than usual and mainly played three wide receivers Sunday, which resulted in Valdes-Scantling seeing the field less than he had in any other game this season. Valdes-Scantling has now totaled just two receptions for 11 yards since Week 7, which all but eliminates him as a fantasy option Week 15, even against a Bears defense that has been regularly beaten by opposing wide receivers of late.

Dorsett was on the field for 33 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chiefs.

Dorsett, who was out-snapped Sunday by Julian Edelman (66), Mohamed Sanu (39) and Jakobi Meyers (38), was targeted twice but didn't record a catch in the contest. He's something of a bounce-back candidate Week 15 against the Bengals, but volume could continue to be an issue for Dorsett down the stretch, given that QB Tom Brady's only consistent targets to date have been Julian Edelman and James White.

Meyers was on the field for 38 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chiefs, en route to hauling in one of his three target for 35 yards.

Looking ahead, Meyers profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option, as QB Tom Brady has yet to develop a consistent rapport in the passing game with anyone other than Julian Edelman and running back James White.

Turner caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Rams.

Turner logged 15 offensive snaps while David Moore played 14, as Josh Gordon looks like he's pulled away with the No. 3 wideout job, recording 37 snaps. There will be limited fantasy upside for Turner as long as this rotation remains intact.

Lazard was targeted three times and caught two passes for 19 yards in Sunday's victory over Washington.

Lazard caught two passes in a three-play sequence late in the second quarter, but he was otherwise shut down a week after topping 100 yards and finding the end zone against the Giants. Outside of the big Week 13 showing, Lazard has not topped 44 yards in a game since Week 6 and still is playing only around half the offensive snaps each week. That will make him tough to trust Week 15, even against a Bears defense that has been below average against opposing wide receivers since Week 10.

Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that Evans (hamstring) is "very doubtful" for the Buccaneers' Week 15 game in Detroit, though the wideout hasn't been ruled out for the season, Scott Smith of Tampa Bay's official site reports.

Evans was sent in for an MRI after a hamstring injury caused him to pull up lame on a 61-yard touchdown reception in Sunday's 38-35 win over the Panthers. Arians' postgame comments intimated the Buccaneers were bracing for bad news from the tests, but the coach relayed Monday that Evans has been diagnosed with a pulled hamstring -- an encouraging outcome, all things considered. While Evans likely won't make it back for next weekend, the Buccaneers could welcome him back to the lineup for the final two games if he progresses quickly from the injury, just as he did previously when he dealt with the issue in June. Assuming Evans sits out against Detroit, Breshad Perriman, Justin Watson and Scott Miller (hamstring) could all be in line for enhanced roles behind No. 1 receiver Chris Godwin.

Harry was on the field for just two snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chiefs.

Harry's only target in the game result in a 12-yard gain as far as the box score is concerned, but replays show that the rookie wideout probably should have been credited with a TD. Additionally, Harry suffered a hip injury late in Sunday's contest, so he figures to appear on the Patriots' injury report in advance of Week 15's game against the Bengals.
