  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: Dealing with toe injury

    Nabers was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a toe injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Nabers hasn't been a stranger to the injury report in his rookie campaign, but aside from missing Weeks 5 and 6 due to a concussion, he's been able to suit up on game days. Nonetheless, his status will be watched as the week goes on to get a sense of his odds to play Sunday against the Colts. Since the Giants' Week 11 bye, Nabers has gathered in 36 of 60 targets for 362 yards and one touchdown over five contests.

  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Four touches in win

    Turpin caught his lone target for seven yards and rushed three times for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Buccaneers.

    Turpin was unable to produce much on his four touches against Tampa Bay, as he was used more as a rusher than a receiver in the Cowboys' offensive scheme Sunday. The third-year wideout has flashed impressive play-making ability this season, but he lacks consistency in his production to make him a reliable fantasy option on a weekly basis. Next up for Turpin and the Cowboys is a Week 17 matchup with the Eagles.

  • Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Three catches against Tampa Bay

    Flournoy caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Buccaneers.

    Flournoy's three receptions and 41 receiving yards were both season highs for the rookie. The 25-year-old wideout played 40 percent of the Cowboys' offensive snaps Sunday, his second-highest snap share of the season. With the Cowboys out of playoff contention, it's possible Dallas could want to get an extended look at the Southeast Missouri State product before the end of the season. Flournoy will look to build off his Week 16 performance when the Cowboys visit the Eagles in Week 17, though he should remain off the fantasy radar in that matchup.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Bills' Mack Hollins: Targeted three times

    Hollins caught two of three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots.

    Hollins played 42 of the Bills' 59 offensive snaps Sunday, second only to Khalil Shakir (44). The veteran wideout is a part of a crowded wide receiver room in Buffalo, limiting his potential for high target shares. For that reason, Hollins continues to be nothing more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes. The 31-year-old will look to get more involved in Week 17 when the Bills host the Jets.

  • Keon Coleman WR | BUF

    Bills' Keon Coleman: One grab in Week 16

    Coleman caught one of two targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots.

    Coleman finished the contest with one catch on two targets for the second straight game. The rookie wideout was on the field for a solid 66 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps Sunday, a slight improvement over his 63 percent snap share in Week 15. As Coleman continues to work back from the wrist injury that caused him a four-week absence, it seems plausible that he'll begin to see more opportunities in Buffalo's passing attack. The Florida State product will look to bounce back in Week 17 when the Bills host the Jets in a divisional showdown.

  • Texans' Diontae Johnson: Not expected to play Wednesday

    Johnson is unlikely to make his Texans debut in Wednesday's game against the Ravens, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The Texans claimed Johnson off waivers from Baltimore on Monday, bolstering the team's wideout corps after Tank Dell sustained a season-ending knee injury in Week 16. Due to the lack of time he had to familiarize himself with the Houston playbook, Johnson looks set to be inactive for Week 17, though Rapoport notes that the receiver is planning to make his Texans debut Week 18 against the Titans. Prior to joining the Texans, Johnson recorded 31 catches for 363 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games on the season, with most of his production coming over his seven appearances with Carolina.

  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Two catches in loss

    Lockett caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

    Though Geno Smith attempted 43 passes on the day, Lockett didn't attract much of the quarterback's attention, as Jaxon Smith-Njigba (12) and DK Metcalf (seven) dominated the targets. With Smith-Njigba becoming a much bigger part of the offense in recent weeks, the 32-year-old Lockett has been mostly an afterthought in Seattle's aerial attack. Since the Seahawks' Week 10 bye, the veteran has recorded just 96 receiving yards over six games.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Expected to play against Houston

    Flowers (shoulder) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Wednesday against the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    After being listed as a non-participant on injury reports issued Sunday and Monday, Flowers was upgraded to limited participation Tuesday. Though Flowers looks like he's trending toward playing Wednesday, official word on his status won't arrive until Baltimore posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Titans' Colton Dowell: Won't return Week 17

    Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Tuesday that Dowell (knee) won't be activated from the PUP list in advance of Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site.

    Dowell has spent the entire season on the reserve/PUP list after tearing the ACL and meniscus in his right knee in Week 17 of the 2023 campaign and undergoing surgery. The wideout was cleared to resume practicing Dec. 16, but he was a limited participant throughout the past week. Callahan said that Dowell still has an outside chance of playing in Week 18 against the Texans, but the 22-year-old will almost certainly need to resume practicing in full before being activated.

  • Charlie Jones WR | CIN

    Bengals' Charlie Jones: Limited in practice

    Jones (groin) was a limited participant in the Bengals' practice Tuesday, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

    Jones hasn't played since the team's Week 8 loss versus the Eagles but is now closer to making his return. If the 26-year-old ends up being able to play Saturday versus the Broncos, he will likely resume his role as the team's top return specialist.
