Allen (heel) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Allen caught six passes in Sunday's 24-7 loss to the Broncos, setting a new personal best and franchise record with 108 receptions on the season, but he emerged from the game nursing a heel injury. The veteran wide receiver still could rejoin his teammates when they begin holding actual practices Tuesday, but Allen's status bears monitoring on a short week before Thursday's road game in Las Vegas. Quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) was unsurprisingly listed as a non-participant as well Monday and is expected to miss Thursday's game due to a fractured finger on his throwing hand, so if Allen is able to play Thursday, he'll likely be catching passes from backup Easton Stick.

Flowers caught six of 10 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-31 overtime win over the Rams. He added a two-point conversion.

The rookie was on his way to a somewhat disappointing outing before reeling in the go-ahead 21-yard touchdown from Lamar Jackson with 1:16 remaining. Jones then punctuated that possession by catching the two-point conversion to give the Ravens a three-point lead. Flowers has now drawn 18 targets in two games since Mark Andrews went down with an ankle injury that will likely end his season. Only Odell Beckham has double-digit targets among Baltimore receivers since Andrews' injury, and Flowers now holds a sturdy 24 percent target share on the season. The Ravens head to Jacksonville for Sunday Night Football in Week 15.

Jennings failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 28-16 win over Seattle.

Jennings followed up his best fantasy line of the season (3-44-1) with a bagel against the Seahawks. San Francisco unleashed all four of its offensive stars against the divisional foe Sunday, leaving little work for a role player such as Jennings. The 49ers' slot man has been an afterthought in both games against Seattle this season, generating just one reception for seven yards across both contests. Jennings remains only an option for those in deep leagues when the 49ers visit the Cardinals next Sunday.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell labeled Jefferson (chest) as day-to-day Monday, adding that Jefferson has a "good chance" to play Saturday against the Bengals, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Jefferson's participation in practice this week will bear monitoring, but O'Connell's comments are the latest bit of encouraging news regarding the chest injury the wideout suffered in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Raiders. Though Jefferson was taken to the hospital as a precaution, he traveled home with the team and may avoid missing any further action. O'Connell didn't name a starting quarterback for Saturday's game, so if Jefferson plays, it remains to be seen whether Nick Mullens or Joshua Dobbs will be throwing him the ball.

Duvernay could miss a week or more after suffering a back injury Sunday against the Rams, according to head coach John Harbaugh, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Duvernay was dealing with back spasms during the game, which kept the fourth-year pro sidelined. Any time missed moving forward will affect the Ravens' special-teams unit, and to a lesser extent, their depth at wide receiver. Tylan Wallace, who recorded a game-winning punt return for a touchdown in overtime, will likely continue to handle return duties in Duvernay's absence.

Wallace went without a target across five snaps on offense and returned three punts for 95 yards -- including a game-winning 76-yard touchdown -- in Sunday's 37-31 overtime victory over the Rams.

A 2018 first-team All-American as a receiver at Oklahoma State, Wallace has just six receptions to his name since joining the Ravens as a fourth-round pick in 2021. Rather than on offense, Wallace has seen most of his NFL action to date as a member of the Ravens' coverage units on special teams, but he was pressed into duties as the team's return man after two-time Pro Bowler Devin Duvernay exited Sunday's game early with a back injury. While Duvernay was available earlier in the contest, Wallace was penalized for lining up in the neutral zone on a 4th-and-5 play in the second quarter that gave the Rams a first down and eventually led to a touchdown, but Wallace atoned for the error in overtime. While fielding a punt cleanly with just under eight minutes remaining, Wallace danced around several defenders, spun out of a tackle and sprinted down the sideline for the walk-off score. Per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Duvernay will likely be out for a week or more with the back injury, so look for Wallace to continue serving as the Ravens' return man Week 15 in Jacksonville.

Chark caught two of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Saints.

Chark's output was close to his weekly average within a poor Panthers passing attack. Through 11 games, the veteran sports merely 25 catches (on 46 targets) for 345 yards and three touchdowns.

Washington caught two of three targets for 27 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-27 loss to Cleveland.

The 21-year-old secured the second touchdown of his career with a 19-yard reception in the fourth quarter, but he otherwise wasn't significantly involved in the passing game on a day when Trevor Lawrence attempted 50 passes. Washington played 47 of 76 offensive snaps as Jacksonville's No. 3 wideout and should remain in that role going forward with Christian Kirk (groin) on injured reserve.

Jones caught five of 14 targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Browns.

Jones led Jacksonville in targets but finished fourth on the team in receiving yards. The 28-year-old played 84 percent of the offensive snaps with Christian Kirk (groin) on injured reserve, and Jones should continue to see a heavy snap share moving forward, though the current state of the Jaguars' passing game makes him a bit of a volatile fantasy option.

Wilson (shoulder) was spotted taking part in Monday's unofficial practice session, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Though the Cardinals were back on the field Monday following a Week 14 bye, the team won't have to submit its first Week 15 injury report until Wednesday, at which point it will be known whether Wilson is practicing as a full or limited participant. The fact that the rookie receiver is at least practicing in some capacity is an encouraging sign after he had sat out Arizona's last three games while missing six consecutive practices. If Wilson is available for this Sunday's game against the 49ers, he should reclaim the starting role he had held prior to suffering the shoulder injury.
