Samuel (ribs) will be limited in Friday's practice and listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Samuel, who was inactive for the Bills' Week 16 win over the Patriots, also was deemed limited Wednesday and Thursday. If he's able to return to action this weekend, he'll carry modest fantasy lineup upside, however, given that Khalil Shakir, Amari Cooper, Keon Coleman and Mack Hollins are on hand to absorb wideout targets versus New York.

Bobo wasn't targeted in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Bears.

Bobo hasn't been targeted more than once in a game nor has he played more than 18 snaps since Week 6. His fantasy value remains minimal heading into the regular-season finale versus the Rams.

Lockett caught three of four targets for 20 yards in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Bears.

Geno Smith threw for a season-low 160 yards in the tight win while Lockett failed to produce more than 22 receiving yards for the seventh straight game. DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are the focal points of this passing offense, so Lockett's upside will remain limited even in a favorable Week 18 matchup against the Rams.

Woods caught both of his targets for 21 yards in Wednesday's 31-2 loss to Baltimore in Week 17.

Woods had the fourth-most snaps (21) among wide receivers, as the return of John Metchie from a shoulder injury pushed the 12-year veteran further down the depth chart. The Texans will operate without both Tank Dell (knee) and Stefon Diggs (knee) for the regular-season finale and through the postseason, when Woods' experience could be useful.

Hutchinson caught two of four targets in Wednesday's 31-2 loss to the Ravens in Week 17.

Hutchinson, who was given his most targets in five games, experienced an uptick in snap count (39) due to Tank Dell (knee) joining Stefon Diggs (knee) on injured reserve. Hutchinson, John Metchie, Jared Wayne and Robert Woods filled out the depth chart behind No. 1 wideout Nico Collins.

Odunze brought in one of four targets for 15 yards in the Bears' 6-3 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.

Odunze and Caleb Williams had trouble connecting for the most part, although the rookie receiver did have a 17-yard touchdown catch late in the second quarter nullified by an offensive holding penalty. Odunze's reception and yardage totals were his lowest since Week 4, but he'll have an opportunity to head into his first NFL offseason with some momentum when he faces the Packers secondary in a Week 18 road matchup.

Smith-Njigba brought in three of six targets for 32 yards in the Seahawks' 6-3 win over the Bears on Thursday night.

After several noteworthy performances in recent weeks, Smith-Njigba finished with his lowest reception and yardage totals since Week 7, although the former tally tied him for second on the night in catches with several teammates. Smith-Njigba also set the pace in targets for Seattle as he continued to garner plenty of Geno Smith's trust, and he should be due for a bump in production during a critical Week 18 road matchup against the Rams that could decide the NFC West.

Metcalf brought in all three targets for 42 yards in the Seahawks' 6-3 win over the Bears on Thursday night.

Metcalf finished second in receiving yards to Noah Fant and tied with multiple teammates for that slotting in receptions as well. The veteran receiver also drew a personal foul penalty late in the second quarter for an altercation with the Bears' Tyrique Stevenson in which he headbutted the cornerback, costing his team 15 yards on a drive that nevertheless ended in a field goal. Metcalf has maxed out at four receptions in six straight contests, but he could have a bigger role in a Week 18 road showdown with the Rams that may decide the NFC West.

Allen brought in five of eight targets for 25 yards in the Bears' 6-3 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.

Coming off a spectacular nine-catch, 141-yard, one-touchdown showing against the Lions in Week 16, Allen, and the Bears offense as a whole for that matter, experienced a major downturn in the disappointing defeat. The veteran receiver did tie DJ Moore for the team lead in targets while finishing second to his teammate in receptions. Allen has at least five catches in three consecutive contests heading into the Week 18 regular-season finale at Lambeau Field against the Packers.

Moore brought in six of eight targets for 54 yards and rushed twice for eight yards in the Bears' 6-3 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.

Moore set the pace for the Bears in receptions and receiving yards while sharing the team lead in targets with Keenan Allen. It was another typically busy four quarters for the veteran wideout, who also was the intended target on Caleb Williams' game-ending, fourth-down downfield heave. Moore extended his streak of games with at least six catches to seven and has seen at least seven targets in seven consecutive contests heading into a Week 18 road battle against the Packers.
