Johnson caught three of five targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Patriots.

Johnson saw increased playing time Sunday with Courtland Sutton (concussion) exiting the contest early in first half. The wideout played 68 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps, the second-most of any receiver behind Jerry Jeudy. In 11 appearances this season, Johnson has now recorded 11 catches for 169 yards and four touchdowns. The 25-year-old could see similar usage in a Week 17 matchup with the Chargers if Sutton remains sidelined, but he would be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes.

The Chiefs reverted Washington to their practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Kansas City elevated Washington from the practice squad ahead of Monday's contest against the Raiders, and he logged one special-teams snap and no offensive snaps in the loss. The elevation was his third of the campaign, so the Chiefs will need to sign him to their active roster if they want to utilize him in either of their final two regular-season games. Washington had been on the active roster earlier in the campaign, and he's played in six contests overall this season, logging 37 of his 39 snaps on special teams. He's recorded 61 punt-return yards and 20 kickoff return yards as a whole.

Treadwell reverted to the Ravens' practice squad Tuesday.

Treadwell was elevated to the active roster before Monday's 33-19 win over the 49ers, but failed to record any stats while playing 17 snaps on special teams. The wide receiver will now have to wait for his next shot to join the Ravens for a contest.

Hodgins was not targeted in the Giants' Week 17 loss to the Eagles on Monday.

For the second straight week, Hodgins completed a game without logging any receptions. He received one target last Sunday versus New Orleans before being shut out entirely against Philadelphia. Hodgins came down with an illness over the weekend that may have impacted his production, but even when 100 percent this season he's failed to make a meaningful impact. Hodgins hasn't had more than three catches or 24 receiving yards in a game since Week 2, and he's been held without a reception seven times over 13 contests during that span.

Hyatt was not targeted in the passing game in the Giants' loss to Philadelphia on Monday.

Hyatt logged 35 offensive snaps -- 56 percent of the team's total -- Monday, third-highest among Giants receivers. However, he didn't see the ball come his way a single time, marking the fourth time this season that he's failed to draw any targets. It was also the second straight week without a catch for the rookie, and he's accumulated just two catches for 13 yards over his past three games after flashing his potential with a five-catch, 109-yard effort against the Patriots in Week 12. Hyatt has been on the field enough to make an impact this season, but with his inconsistency magnified by poor quarterback play, he's been a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

Robinson caught three of seven targets for 16 yards in Monday's loss to Philadelphia.

New York's passing game struggled, with quarterbacks Tyrod Taylor and Tommy DeVito combining for a modest 188 yards through the air. Nearly half of those were gained by Darius Slayton, while Robinson posted his lowest yardage total since Week 10. That said, he did lead the team in targets and tied for second in receptions, so opportunities were there. Robinson has seen at least four targets and caught at least three passes in five straight games, providing evidence that the Giants value him as an integral part of their pass-catching corps. However, he hasn't scored a touchdown and has averaged a mediocre 36.2 receiving yards per game during that span, making him tough to trust in fantasy lineups.

The 49ers waived Snead on Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Snead was originally promoted from San Francisco's practice squad to its active roster Monday to fill in for an injured Jauan Jennings (concussion), but Snead is now set to become a free agent assuming he's not claimed by another team during the current waiver period. He has two catches for 14 yards on three targets over four games this season.

Goodwin (knee) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Goodwin's availability for Thursday's game versus the Jets appears to be in jeopardy due to a knee injury. If he can't upgrade to full participation Wednesday, he'll probably carry an injury designation into Thursday.

Tucker caught his only target for a loss of four yards in Monday's 20-14 win over the Chiefs. He also rushed once for five yards.

Tucker's regression after posting a 3-59-2 line against the Chargers in Week 15 came as no surprise, but the rookie still managed to play twice as many offensive snaps (22) as veteran Hunter Renfrow (11) on Christmas Day. A similar split behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers is likely against the Colts in Week 17, as the Raiders continue developing Tucker.

Renfrow was targeted once in Monday's 20-14 win over the Chiefs, but he finished the contest without a reception.

Renfrow wasn't alone in posting an underwhelming receiving line for the Raiders on Monday, as quarterback Aidan O'Connell completed just nine passes all game. Renfrow has been held without a single catch in back-to-back tilts, and he's likely to play behind Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker again Week 17 against the Colts.
