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.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell classified Addison (ankle) as day-to-day Tuesday and wasn't willing to rule the receiver out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

O'Connell didn't go into many details regarding the severity of the ankle sprain that forced Addison out of this past Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Lions, but the "day-to-day" label paints a rosier picture of the rookie wideout's health after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Monday that he was being considered week-to-week. O'Connell also announced Tuesday that star tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) will miss the rest of the season, so if Addison's able to overcome his own injury, he could be in store for a larger target share behind top pass catcher Justin Jefferson over the final two games of the campaign.

James caught all three of his targets for 54 yards in Monday's 20-14 loss versus the Raiders.

With Kadarius Toney (hip) sidelined in Week 16, James was able to take over a larger share of Kansas City's offense in the slot and logged a season-high 25 snaps, helping him to season-bests in receptions and receiving yards. His biggest play of the day came in the middle of the fourth quarter, when he settled into a busted coverage on the right hash and recorded a 45-yard catch and run. He's been relatively efficient with the opportunities he's gotten this year, but his overall lack of consistent involvement in the offense means he's still not bankable in most formats.

Saints head coach Dennis Allen was non-committal Tuesday about Thomas' (knee) status for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, though the expectation is that the wideout won't practice this week, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Thomas has already missed five games with a right knee injury he suffered Nov. 12 against the Vikings, but there's little indication he's close to a return. The wideout was eligible to have his 21-day evaluation window opened last week, but the Saints didn't clear him to practice at any point, and he doesn't appear set to resume on-field work this week, either. With Thomas trending toward another absence, the Saints will be left with A.T. Perry, Keith Kirkwood and Lynn Bowden as their depth options behind starting wideouts Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed.

Valdes-Scantling did not catch his only target in Monday's 20-14 loss versus the Raiders.

Despite leading Kansas City's wide receivers in snaps Monday (58), Valdes-Scantling was only able to draw one target, which he couldn't haul in. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn't have much time in the pocket, so the longer routes that are Valdes-Scantling's calling card were simply not in play for much of the game. He'll look to bounce back in Week 17 versus the Bengals.
