Bobo caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Packers.

Bobo now has 11 catches for 97 yards through 14 games while averaging 18.5 offensive snaps per contest. Unless an injury occurs above him on the depth chart, Bobo won't have much fantasy value moving forward.

Lockett caught his lone target for 22 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Packers.

Since the Seahawks' Week 10 bye, Lockett has averaged just 15.4 receiving yards per game while failing to find the end zone. Meanwhile, second-year wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been a target hog, tallying a team-high 12 targets in Week 15. It will be tough to depend on Lockett for fantasy purposes moving forward.

Dotson finished with zero receptions on one target in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers.

The game ended a streak of six straight contests in which Dotson recorded exactly one catch. The Eagles' passing game was the primary story surrounding the team during the week, and Jalen Hurts responded with a strong performance, going 25-of-32 for 290 yards and two touchdowns, but as usual, nearly all of his looks went to his top two wideouts. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith each saw double-digit targets, while the rest of the team combined for just eight.

Dowell (knee) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Dowell now has a 21-day window to practice with the team, a timeframe that carries through to the end of the regular season. However, Dowell could be activated beforehand and still see game action before the conclusion of the campaign. The UT Martin product suffered a torn ACL in December of last year and has been out of action since, so it may take him some time to get back up to speed.

Brooks caught his only target for a 17-yard touchdown in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

The second-year wideout hauled in his first career TD in the third quarter, beating two defenders to the ball in the back corner of the end zone as Cooper Rush scrambled out of the pocket. Brooks has seen little usage this season and has even been a healthy inactive at times, and he's unlikely to break out with CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert all healthy. Brooks will be little more than a desperation dart throw Week 16, even against a shaky Buccaneers secondary.

Tolbert caught one of two targets for an 11-yard touchdown in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

The third-year wideout made his only grab of the day count, getting both feet down at the back of the end zone early in the third quarter for his fifth TD of the season. Tolbert has seen little volume since Cooper Rush took over as the Cowboys' QB, catching two passes or fewer in five straight games and posting a 7-95-2 line on 18 targets over that stretch. However, Tolbert might be able to hit pay dirt again Week 16 against the Buccaneers' vulnerable secondary.

Johnston (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

The ankle injury is new for Johnston, so his practice status bears monitoring over the next couple of days ahead of Thursday night's game against the Broncos. Johnston's 73 percent snap share against the Bucs on Sunday was right in line with his norm, so it's unclear when he was injured. He finished with a 5-45-1 line on a season-high 10 targets. If Johnston were to miss Week 16, Joshua Palmer, Jalen Reagor and DJ Chark would be in line to handle outside wide receiver snaps, with rookie Ladd McConkey spending most of his time in the slot.

Cooks caught three of five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

CeeDee Lamb dominated the looks from quarterback Cooper Rush with a 9-116-1 line on 13 targets, and while Cooks finished second on the Cowboys in targets, catches and receiving yards, it was Jalen Tolbert and Jalen Brooks who were on the end of Rush's other two touchdowns. Cooks has seen limited volume since returning from a knee injury that cost him seven games in the middle of the season, posting a 7-53-2 line on 15 targets over the last three contests, and he'll be a TD-dependent fantasy option Week 16 against Tampa Bay's vulnerable secondary.

The Ravens announced Monday that the team has mutually agreed with Johnson (suspension) to excuse him from team activities Week 16.

Johnson was suspended by Baltimore for Week 15 due to conduct detrimental to the team, but even after his suspension is officially lifted, the veteran wideout won't be back in the building to prepare for Saturday's divisional matchup against the Steelers. Since joining the Ravens in a trade with the Panthers back in October, Johnson has failed to solidify his standing in Baltimore's wide receiver corps. At this point, it remains to be seen whether the veteran wideout will return to team activities Week 17.

Hyatt did not receive a target in Sunday's 35-14 Week 15 loss to the Ravens.

Hyatt's 20 offensive snaps were fourth most among Giants wideouts, well behind Malik Nabers (64), Wan'Dale Robinson (52) and Darius Slayton (46). Hyatt wasn't able to draw a target while he was on the field, marking the third time over his past five games that he hasn't had a ball thrown his way. Given his paltry production this season and low standing on the depth chart, as well as the overall struggles of New York's passing game, Hyatt is off the fantasy radar in virtually all formats.
