Dotson failed to reel in his lone target in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the 49ers.

Dotson was held without a catch Sunday for the third time this season, despite playing the second most offensive snaps (39) at wideout behind Terry McLaurin (41). With a streak of underwhelming performances down the stretch this season, the veteran receiver remains an untrustworthy option for fantasy lineups heading into a Week 18 matchup with the Cowboys.

Moore caught three of four passes for 26 yards and had two carries for eight yards during Sunday's 35-31 win at Philadelphia.

Moore hasn't been lacking for snaps this season, earning at least a 60 percent share in 14 of 16 games, but his output has been disappointing as evidenced by just five outings with 40-plus yards from scrimmage. With Kyler Murray directing the offense since Week 10 and multiple Cardinals WRs dealing with injuries during that span, Moore hasn't made much of a mark, totaling 16 catches on 24 targets, six carries, 216 total yards and one receiving TD in seven contests. The wideout will seek a more appealing performance Sunday against a Seahawks defense that has conceded the eighth-most receptions (210) to wide receivers this season.

Guyton played three offensive snaps and didn't see any targets in Sunday's loss to Denver.

Guyton had already seen his opportunities decline in recent weeks, and he played a season-low 25 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps against Buffalo last Saturday. However, he was wiped out of the gameplan almost entirely against the Broncos, taking the field for just three snaps. The lack of playing time Sunday came even as top wideouts Keenan Allen (heel) and Joshua Palmer (concussion) were unable to suit up, further emphasizing Guyton's dropoff since he posted a promising four catches for 41 yards and a touchdown in this second game of the season Week 10 versus Detroit.

The Rams signed Johnson to the 53-man roster Tuesday.

Johnson joined the Rams' practice squad Aug. 30 after failing to make the initial 53-man roster ahead of the deadline. His sole elevation came in Week 15 against the Commanders, but he was inactive for the game. Johnson last suited up in 2022 with the Texans, for whom he played 28 offensive snaps over two games without recording a stat.

Winfree was signed to the Colts' active roster Tuesday.

Winfree suited up for seven of the Colts' first 10 games but has not played since Week 10. While he will be available to provide depth at wide receiver, he projects to primarily contribute on special teams.

Valdes-Scantling gathered in one of three targets for three yards during Sunday's 25-17 win against Cincinnati.

Valdes-Scantling certainly hasn't produced at a level that satisfies the terms of his contract for the 2023 campaign, catching no more than three passes in a contest, which occurred only once in Week 7. He has only one touchdown this year and has clearly fallen behind in the target pecking order, so from a fantasy perspective, there's little reason to show much interest in the veteran. He still plays plenty, however, logging the second-most snaps among wideouts in Week 17. With the Chiefs locked into the No. 3 playoff seed, it's possible some players could get a rest in Week 18 to ensure they are healthy for the postseason.

Woods (hip) didn't take part in Tuesday's walkthrough.

Woods and Noah Brown (back) were estimated as non-participants to kick off Week 18 prep after both players were knocked out of this past Sunday's win versus the Titans. Their respective activity levels Wednesday and Thursday likely will be key to determining if one or both have chances to play Saturday in Indianapolis.

Brown (back) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report.

After missing Weeks 11 and 12 due to a knee injury, Brown continued to be listed on Texans practice reports for the next five weeks but still suited up on each occasion. He made an early departure from this past Sunday's win against the Titans with a new concern however, leaving his status cloudy ahead of the team's must-win regular-season finale Saturday at Indianapolis.

Watson compiled one reception (on three targets) for 41 yards during Sunday's 25-17 win over the Bengals.

Watson made his lone catch count, hauling in a 41-yard deep ball from Patrick Mahomes to cross midfield with the Chiefs trailing in the third quarter, which helped set up the Chiefs for a field goal to draw within one. However, that was his lone impact on the game, and Watson has one or fewer grabs in six of the last seven games. He's a touchdown-dependent fantasy option who doesn't carry much value in the vast majority of league formats.

The Panthers placed Mingo on injured reserve Tuesday due to a foot injury, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Mingo sat out Week 4 with a concussion, but he otherwise played in each of the Panthers' other 15 games, compiling a 43-418-0 line on 85 targets. The rookie second-round pick wasn't able to develop a consistent rapport with 2023 first overall pick Bryce Young, and the duo will have to wait until the offseason program begins to continue developing their chemistry.
