  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Deemed 'DNP' on practice estimate

    London (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    London hasn't played or practiced since suffering a PCL sprain during Week 11 action, with coach Raheem Morris continuing to refer to the wideout as "day-to-day" ahead of Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers. If London remains sidelined for the contest, Darnell Mooney, David Sills and Dylan Drummond would be in line to lead Atlanta's Week 15 WR corps.

  • Tai Felton WR | MIN

    Vikings' Tai Felton: Gets second NFL reception

    Felton had one reception for 10 yards on his only target in Sunday's win over Washington.

    Felton got playing time (11 snaps) late in a blowout win. He has just two receptions and two targets this season, as he's played almost al his snaps on special teams.

  • Jalen Nailor WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Three receptions in win

    Nailor had three receptions for 30 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Washington.

    Nailor didn't have a reception and just one target each game the prior two weeks amid Minnesota's struggles through the air. With J.J. McCarthy showing signs of being a credible passer in the win, Nailor could get back to seeing 3-5 targets a game like earlier in the season. However, he's prone to low-output games when the offense struggles, considering Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson draw the bulk of the targets.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Back in concussion protocol

    Coach Zac Taylor revealed that Higgins experienced concussion-like symptoms Sunday night and Monday morning, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    As a result, Higgins is back in the NFL's concussion protocol, which clouds the wideout's status for the Bengals' Dec. 14 contest against the Ravens. After sustaining a concussion Nov. 23, Higgins was inactive for Cincinnati's Thanksgiving Day contest against Baltimore. He then gained clearance to play in Sunday's 39-34 loss to the Bills, en route to logging a 73 percent snap share and catching six of his 11 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns. If Higgins ends up sidelined this weekend, Andrei Iosivas and Mitchell Tinsley would be in line to see added Week 15 snaps behind top WR Ja'Marr Chase.

  • Dolphins' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: No targets for third straight game

    Westbrook-Ikhine was not targeted during Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets.

    Westbrook-Ikhine has now gone three straight contests without recording any statistics on offense, though he did make two tackles (one solo) versus New York while supplying coverage on punt and kickoff returns. While Westbrook-Ikhine played 34 percent of offensive snaps against the Jets, his highest share since Week 10, he remains definitively off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 15 road matchup against the Steelers on Monday Night Football.

  • Jermaine Burton: Let go by Bengals

    The Bengals waived Burton on Monday.

    Burton was suspended by the Bengals for Sunday's contest against the Bills, and now the team has elected to part ways with the 2024 third-rounder. Burton has yet to see regular-season action this season.

  • Dolphins' Malik Washington: Secures three of four targets

    Washington caught three of four targets for 10 yards during Miami's 34-10 win over the Jets on Sunday.

    Washington finished second on the team in targets behind only Jaylen Waddle (3-50-1 on seven targets), though Tua Tagovailoa looked the way of Darren Waller, Greg Dulcich, and Jaylen Wright three times each, and the early departure of De'Von Achane (ribs) knocked out one of the Dolphins' usual top contributors in the passing game. Though Washington has established a fair floor with at least three catches in eight of his last nine appearances, he's yet to surpass 50 receiving yards this season and lacks a demonstrable ceiling heading into Miami's matchup against the Steelers on Monday Night Football in Week 15.

  • Rams' Jordan Whittington: Makes one small grab

    Whittington secured his only target for five yards during Sunday's 45-17 victory against the Cardinals.

    The trio of Rams' backup wideouts combined for just 16 yards on their three targets, which pales in comparison to the 17 targets that starters Puka Nacua and Davante Adams earned, which translated to 11 catches for 196 yards and a pair of Nacua touchdown catches. Matthew Stafford continues to keep his focus heavily weighted towards the duo, generally leaving little to no opportunities for the other wideouts on the team. Xavier Smith's 82-yard performance from last week now seems more like an outlier than a true breakout, leaving Whittington, Smith and Konata Mumpfield hard to trust for fantasy purposes against a Lions squad fighting for a playoff spot in Week 15.

  • Xavier Smith WR | LAR

    Rams' Xavier Smith: Limited usage in blowout win

    Smith secured his only target for six yards and returned three punts for 46 yards during Sunday's 45-17 victory against the Cardinals.

    A week removed from a career-high 82 yard performance against the Panthers, Smith regressed back to his typical stat line against the Cardinals. Smith took the field for just 21 snaps on offense, which was still a fair amount more than fellow backup Jordan Whittington's 12. Konata Mumpfield did get an extended look with 32 snaps on offense, but none of the trio of backups managed to earn more than a single target and combined for just 16 yards receiving, leaving them difficult to trust in fantasy playoff lineups with a high-stakes showdown against the Lions up next in Week 15.

  • Dyami Brown WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Dyami Brown: No targets in win

    Brown wasn't targeted during Sunday's 36-19 win against the Colts.

    The 26-year-old was a healthy scratch last week but suited up Sunday with Parker Washington (hip) inactive, yet Brown played just six offensive snaps versus the Colts. Brown hasn't caught a pass since Week 9 in Las Vegas and hasn't been targeted in the last two games he's been active.
