McKenzie caught all three of his targets for 34 yards during Thursday's win over the Cowboys.

The three catches tied a season high, while the 34 yards represents his highest total since Week 5. The 24-year-old actually saw a diminished share of snaps Thursday, as he and Robert Foster essentially rotated duties as the No. 3 wideout, per Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo. McKenzie's fantasy prospects were already minimal and splitting time with Foster only moves him further from fantasy relevance.

Pettis (knee) isn't expected to be available for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Pettis suffered a left knee sprain at practice last week and was unable to play during Sunday's loss to the Ravens. The 24-year-old played a minimal offensive role in the weeks leading up to the injury, so his availability is unlikely to impact the offense.

Coach Frank Reich said it's "too soon to tell" if Campbell (hand) will be cleared for Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Campbell was given a similarly ambiguous status a week ago but was inactive for this past Sunday's loss to the Titans. If he's able to get healthy, the rookie second-rounder is slated for increased duties against the Bucs' 31st-ranked pass defense (282.8 yards allowed per game) since T.Y. Hilton (calf) is trending in the wrong direction.

Cobb (illness) didn't participate in Monday's practice, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Cobb still has three days to get healthy before Thursday's matchup against the Bears, but it's concerning considering the 29-year-old leads the Cowboys with 254 receiving yards over the last three games.

Erickson caught both his targets for 21 yards and returned three punts for six yards during Sunday's win over the Jets.

Erickson saw eight targets last week versus the Steelers but wasn't nearly as involved with Andy Dalton back at quarterback, despite playing a similar number of offensive snaps. The 27-year-old posted 14 catches for 234 yards in Weeks 7 and 8, but across the last four games he has only five receptions for 64 yards. Erickson's fantasy potential remains limited while Tyler Boyd and Auden Tate are healthy.

Cooper (knee) practiced without limitations Monday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Coach Jason Garrett expressed optimism that Cooper would be ready for Thursday's matchup against the Bears, and Monday's practice report confirms that notion. Cooper appeared back to normal in the Thanksgiving Day game against the Bills before injuring his knee in the fourth quarter, but additional tests found no structural damage. The fifth-year wide receiver will look to continue his trajectory after an eight-catch, 85-yard Week 13 performance in Thursday's tilt versus the Bears' ninth-ranked pass defense (222.2 passing yards allowed per game).

Reynolds caught four of his five targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 34-7 win over Arizona. He played just 29 of 79 offensive snaps.

Reynolds was once again fourth in the pecking order for playing time among Rams wideouts, but he was busy when on the field. The third-year receiver will struggle to produce reliable fantasy numbers because of the depth of the Los Angeles receiving corps, but once again he proved capable of taking advantage of the opportunities provided to him.

Cooks caught both of his targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 34-7 win over Arizona.

The sixth-year receiver has been one of the biggest fantasy disappointments of the season with just 31 receptions for 458 yards and a lone touchdown through 10 games. Additionally, Cooks is likely to dip below 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since his rookie campaign in 2014, and Sunday's poor showing is even more concerning because the Rams scored 34 points against the Cards. Owners in dynasty/keeper formats shouldn't ignore the potential impact Cooks' concussions have had on his play, though, and he's definitely a bounce-back candidate heading into 2020 -- especially if his numbers improve over the final weeks of the season. In yearly settings, it's hard to rely on the big-play threat at this stage of the game.

Dulin had one reception for 13 yards in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.

The undrafted free agent rookie from Division II level Malone University had his first career reception as he was pressed into duty with Chester Rogers suffering a knee injury. With Rogers placed on IR, Dulin could work as the No. 3 receiver next week in an enticing matchup against Tampa Bay if T.Y. Hilton (calf) and Parris Campbell (hand) remain sidelined.

Valdes-Scantling was targeted twice but did not catch a pass in Sunday's victory over the Giants.

Valdes-Scantling finished a distant fourth among Packers receivers in snaps and was held without a reception for the third time in four games. Simply put, there is little reason to expect any help from him in fantasy lineups these days.
