Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Won't return to practice Wednesday
Jeudy (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Both Jeudy and KJ Hamler (hamstring) missed the past two games and are in danger of missing Sunday's contest in Baltimore after starting Week 13 prep as non-participants. With Jeudy and Hamler out, Kendall Hinton has worked as Denver's No. 2 receiver, while practice-squad call-up Brandon Johnson has taken most of the No. 3 snaps.

Ashton Dulin WR | IND
Colts' Ashton Dulin: Not targeted as No. 4 receiver
Dulin went without a target while playing 22 of the Colts' 64 snaps on offense in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers.
Since returning from injured reserve Week 10, Dulin has yet to draw a look in the passing game despite playing 52 snaps on offense. He'll remain an afterthought in the Indianapolis passing offense behind the starting receiver trio of Michael Pittman, Parris Campbell and Alec Pierce, running back Jonathan Taylor and the tight-end triumvirate of Kylen Granson (illness), Jelani Woods and Mo Alie-Cox.

Steven Sims WR | ARI
Steelers' Steven Sims: Offering little sans Claypool
Sims was targeted three times and recorded two catches for nine yards in Monday's 24-17 win over the Colts.
Even though the Nov. 1 trade that sent Chase Claypool to the Bears has opened up more work for Sims, he's still had to split the No. 3 receiver role with Gunner Olszewski, while Diontae Johnson and George Pickens have been every-down players. In the three games since the Claypool trade, Sims has produced a modest 3-24-0 receiving line on seven targets.

Kadarius Toney WR | CLE
Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Still not practicing
Toney (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Head coach Andy Reid noted that Toney's condition is improving, but with an absence from practice on tap to begin the week, the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Bengals is uncertain. Toney has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury during Kansas City's Week 11 win over the Chargers.

Gunner Olszewski WR | NYG
Steelers' Gunner Olszewski: Logs carry in Monday's win
Olszewski went without a target but carried once for a nine-yard gain in Monday's 24-17 win over the Colts.
Since Chase Claypool was traded to the Bears on Nov. 1, Olszewski and Steven Sims have essentially shared the No. 3 receiver role while Diontae Johnson and George Pickens have led the position group. In the three games that have followed, Sims has played 84 snaps on offense, while Olszewski has logged 72. In that span, Olszewksi has recorded 52 total yards on four touches (three catches, one carry).

JuJu Smith-Schuster WR | NYG
Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Slated to miss practice Wednesday
Smith-Schuster won't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Smith-Schuster now has two more days to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, but if the wide receiver is able to play this weekend, he'll continue to be a key cog in Kansas City's passing game. Meanwhile, Kadarius Toney (hamstring) will also miss practice Wednesday and looks like a far less certain bet than Smith-Schuster to make it back for the Week 13 contest.

Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN
Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Plans to play Sunday
Chase (hip) said Wednesday that he's preparing as though he'll play Sunday against the Chiefs, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
The wideout -- who last suited up Week 7 -- indicated that he'll see how the rest of the week goes, but he affirmed that he's "expecting to take some reps" versus Kansas City. Per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Chase disclosed that he's returning from a hairline fracture of his hip and a hyperextended right leg, and while there had been hope that he would play in the Week 12 win over the Titans, he wasn't feeling comfortable enough to take the field. As this weekend's game approaches, however, Andrew Gillis of The Cleveland Plain Dealer relays that Chase says his hip is now pain-free.

Dareke Young WR | LV
Seahawks' Dareke Young: Plays one snap Week 12
Young wasn't targeted while playing one of the Seahawks' 65 snaps on offense in Sunday's 40-34 overtime loss to the Raiders.
Dee Eskridge's (hand) move to injured reserve ahead of the Week 12 contest didn't translate to any added opportunities on offense for Young. Rather than turning to Young to replace Eskridge as the Seahawks' No. 4 receiver, practice-squad call-up Laquon Treadwell (seven snaps) handled that role.
-
Ray-Ray McCloud WR | CHI
49ers' Ray-Ray McCloud: Records 12-yard catch
McCloud played six of the 49ers' 70 snaps on offense and recorded a 12-yard reception in Sunday's 13-0 win over the Saints.
After failing to corral his lone target in the 49ers' Week 11 win over the Cardinals, McCloud got back on the stat sheet Sunday with his 11th catch of the season. The former Clemson standout is clearly behind Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings on the depth chart at receiver and is unlikely to see his role expand unless one of those three players misses time.

Michael Bandy WR | DEN
Chargers' Michael Bandy: Barely used in win
Bandy went without a target while taking the field for two of the Chargers' 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Cardinals.
Even though the Chargers were without Mike Williams (ankle), Bandy still couldn't carve out much of a role in Los Angeles' receiver rotation. The two snaps were Bandy's fewest in his eight appearances on the season.
