Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Sits out another practice
London (knee) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
London has now gone down as a non-participant for the Falcons' first two Week 15 practices. His lack of on-field work since sustaining a PCL sprain in Week 11 makes it likely that he'll miss a fourth straight game Thursday at Tampa Bay.

River Cracraft WR | WAS
River Cracraft: Waived by Washington
The Commanders cut Cracraft from the practice squad Tuesday.
Cracraft was signed to the practice squad Nov. 11 as additional wide receiver depth due to the injuries to starters Terry McLaurin, Noah Brown and Treylon Burks. With the group now healthy, the team seems to no longer require the additional depth and waived the receiver in favor of a new safety in Chris Moore. Cracraft will now go on waivers and will become a free agent if he clears.

Tyquan Thornton WR | KC
Chiefs' Tyquan Thornton: Snares two passes versus Texans
Thornton logged two receptions (on three targets) for 19 yards during Sunday's 20-10 defeat versus Houston.
Thornton continues to be part of the glob of wideouts who rotate in to occasionally spell or work alongside the primary duo of Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy, logging a 30 percent offensive snap share to sit just behind JuJu Smith-Schuster (38 percent) and Hollywood Brown (34 percent). There's little to like from the latter group in terms of fantasy, Thornton included, but Thornton should continue to mix into the offensive scheme as a deep threat, and there's always the possibility of a role expansion should injuries hit the top of the depth chart.

Steven Sims WR | ARI
Steven Sims: Signs with Arizona
The Cardinals signed Sims to the practice squad Tuesday.
Sims reached an injury settlement with the Seahawks on Aug. 27 as he was plagued with a hamstring injury during the summer. The wide receiver has been cleared of injury designation and will join the Cardinals, making Arizona his first team of the 2025 regular season. With Marvin Harrison (heel) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) questionable, as well as Greg Dortch (chest) on IR, the Cardinals have been looking for wide receiver depth to fill their ranks. Sims is a candidate for practice squad elevation ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.

JuJu Smith-Schuster WR | KC
Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Minimal output versus Houston
Smith-Schuster reeled in one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's 20-10 loss to Houston.
Smith-Schuster ranked third among wideouts in terms of offensive snap share in Sunday's contest, but that amounted to just a 38 percent share. The veteran has claimed no more than one pass in any of the last five contests and has just one touchdown on the ledger in 2025, so he can safely be left on the waiver wire in the vast majority of fantasy formats.

Marquise Brown WR | KC
Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Notches big gain on lone catch
Brown gathered in one of two targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 20-10 defeat to the Texans.
His 35-yard grab kicked off Kansas City's lone touchdown drive of the day in what was a lackluster showing from the offense overall. Brown and company will need to be at their best in the coming weeks to secure a playoff spot, but the veteran wideout is still just an ancillary option in the passing attack, finishing with only a 34 percent offensive snap share in Week 14.

Javon Baker WR | SF
Javon Baker: Signing with San Francisco
The 49ers signed Baker to the practice squad Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
The 49ers will be the third practice squad Baker has visited this season after stops at both the Patriots and Eagles facilities. The wide receiver has yet to play in a game this season, but at 23 years old, he has a lot of potential as a depth wide receiver for what seems like a perennially banged-up 49ers offense.

Keenan Allen WR | LAC
Chargers' Keenan Allen: Limited by destructive defense
Allen caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in the 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles on Monday.
The veteran led all Charger wideouts in receiving yards Monday, as quarterback Justin Herbert was under constant duress and got sacked seven times. Los Angeles' offensive line issues make it difficult for any pass catcher to maintain consistent fantasy value week to week, and that will likely be a problem in Week 15 as well against a feisty Kansas City defense.

DK Metcalf WR | PIT
Steelers' DK Metcalf: Likely on track to play Monday
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that he doesn't expect Metcalf's (stomach) availability for the team's Week 15 game against the Dolphins to be in any peril, though the wideout's practice reps could be affected, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.
Following a stellar outing in the Steelers' Week 14 win over the Ravens in which he caught seven of 12 targets for a season-high 148 receiving yards, Metcalf was admitted to a Baltimore-area hospital when he reported stomach pain on the team flight. Metcalf's stomach discomfort appeared to stem from a hard shot he took during Sunday's game, but a significant internal injury was seemingly ruled out following his hospital stay. Tomlin intimated that Metcalf will open Week 15 prep as a limited participant, but the early expectation is that he'll be cleared to handle his usual duties as the Steelers' No. 1 receiver by the time Monday's game arrives.

Tre Harris WR | LAC
Chargers' Tre' Harris: Plays air and ground in win
Harris brought in one of two targets for 18 yards and added a three-yard carry on the ground through 37 offensive snaps in Monday night's victory over the Chargers.
Harris' two targets were fourth among Chargers wide receivers on the night, matching his place on the depth chart. The receiver's 21 total yards made him the fourth most productive skill position player for his team behind Omarion Hampton (67 total yards), Kimani Vidal (104 total yards) and veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen (22 total yards). Harris played 50 percent of offensive snaps, making it the third consecutive week the rookie has hit that benchmark.
