Raymond caught two of two targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 40-14 win over Jacksonville.

Raymond logged just 16 percent of the offensive snaps with Josh Reynolds (79) and Jameson Williams (11) getting back to full health. With Williams' role only set to grow, Raymond could be the odd man out going forward. Up next for the group is a Week 14 matchup with Minnesota.

Coach Nathaniel Hackett termed Sutton (hamstring) "day-to-day" Monday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Sutton exited Sunday's 10-9 loss at Baltimore with a hamstring injury, leaving him without a catch on his only target on a 43 percent share of snaps. On Monday, Mike Klis of 9 News Denver reported that Sutton was slated for an MRI and could be in danger of missing multiple games. While the results of the exam aren't yet known, Hackett's comment seems to indicate Sutton avoided the worst-case scenario. The wideout's status will be monitored in advance of Sunday's contest against Kansas City, but any sort of absence for him could result in additional reps for Brandon Johnson, Montrell Washington and Jalen Virgil behind Jerry Jeudy and Kendall Hinton, although there's little volume to go around right now in a struggling Denver passing game.

McCutcheon (shoulder) logged a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report, Vincent Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

McCutcheon suffered the injury Week 12 against the Chiefs and was unable to play Sunday against the Seahawks. With Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Allen Robinson (foot) both on IR, the 23-year-old could see increased opportunities Thursday against the Raiders, if he is able to play.

The Saints elevated Merritt to the active roster ahead of Monday Night Football versus the Buccaneers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Merritt spent the preseason with New Orleans and joined the team's practice squad after being waived in late August. The 25-year-old will now be bumped up to the active roster after the team also waived Kevin White (illness) on Monday. Merritt did see snaps as both a running back and wide receiver in training camp, though he's unlikely to see much usage barring any injuries to the Saints' starting skill players.

Sims rushed three times for 19 yards while failing to secure either of his two targets during the Steelers' 19-16 win over Atlanta on Sunday.

Sims averaged a team-high 6.3 yards per carry during Sunday's matchup, but he didn't have enough volume to provide much fantasy value. He's played at least 34 percent of the snaps in the four games following Pittsburgh's Week 9 bye but has had limited touches, as he's secured just three of nine targets for 24 yards while rushing six times for 18 yards during that time.

Skowronek (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's injury report, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reprots.

The Rams didn't practice Monday, so the report was merely an estimate. Head coach Sean McVay said earlier in the day that he felt good about Skowronek's chances of playing Thursday against the Raiders, despite picking up a shoulder injury during Sunday's loss to Seattle. The wideout caught two passes for 30 yards Week 13, marking his highest receiving output since Week 6. Skowronek will have two more chance to log a full session before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Week 14, but he appears to be trending in the right direction.

Jennings finished with two receptions on four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 33-17 win over Miami.

Fresh off of his best fantasy game of the season, Jennings reverted to his usual modest production. The 49ers lost starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) for the season, so it was encouraging to see the team's No. 3 wideout continuing to perform as expected with third-string rookie Brock Purdy under center. Jennings shouldn't be considered a starting fantasy option against the Buccaneers in Week 14.

Sutton is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday, and the Broncos have some concern that he could miss multiple games after exiting the team's Week 13 loss to the Ravens with a hamstring injury, Mike Klis of 9 News Denver reports.

Not only did Sutton disappoint fantasy managers by going without a reception across his 23 snaps on offense in Sunday's 10-9 loss to Baltimore, he looks as though he could be at risk of missing time during the fantasy playoffs on account of the hamstring issue that sidelined him for the entire second half of the contest. The Broncos won't have an update on Sutton until the results of his MRI are available, but the team could be forced to rely on some combination of Montrell Washington, Brandon Johnson and Jalen Virgil to pick up reps in three-receiver sets alongside Jerry Jeudy and Kendall Hinton if Sutton's injury sidelines him for any length of time.

Williams was targeted once but did not catch a pass during Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jaguars.

After talk of Williams potentially seeing time on special teams in his professional debut, the rookie was contained to just eight snaps on offense. Meanwhile, Amon-Ra St. Brown and DJ Chark each had their way with the Jaguars secondary in the blowout victory, giving the Lions no reason to rush Williams into heavy snaps. With that said, there is no denying the dynamic element that Williams could bring to the table as a third receiver in Detroit's offense, so look for Williams' role to only grow as the season goes on. Next up is a Week 14 matchup with a beatable Vikings secondary.

Brown caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's win over the Colts.

Both receptions came in the first quarter while the game was still in doubt before the Cowboys' running game and defense began to dominate. Brown hasn't caught more than two passes in a game since Week 7, and with James Washington (foot, IR) back at practice and Odell Beckham (knee) coming in for a visit, his role isn't like to grow.
