Kupp caught six passes for 95 yards and one touchdown on seven targets against Baltimore on Sunday.

The Ravens succeeded in limiting Kupp's target volume -- his seven targets were tied with Odell Beckham behind Tyler Higbee's team-leading nine targets -- but they couldn't stop him on the targets he did draw. Normally, Kupp crushes both in regard to volume and efficiency, so it's something of a down game by his exceedingly high standards in this historic season for the wideout. Although Kupp (1,829 yards) finished his 16-game schedule a bit short of the single-season yardage record set by Calvin Johnson in 2012 (1,964 yards), he heads into Week 18 with a chance to pursue Megatron's record as the Rams take on the 49ers.

Chase caught 11 of 12 targets for 266 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Chiefs.

Chase made a move in space and outran the whole Chiefs defense for a 72-yard touchdown late in the first quarter, then scored again from 18 yards out in the second by easily outmuscling a defender in the end zone. He completed the touchdown hat trick with a 69-yard burst down the sideline early in the third quarter, and while Chase didn't get back into the end zone after that, he continued to play a major part in Cincinnati's comeback from a 28-17 halftime hole. Chase finished with the single-game rookie record for receiving yards, topping 200 for the second time in his sensational debut season. The first-round pick out of LSU has 13 touchdowns heading into the regular-season finale in Cleveland.

Moore (ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday in Dallas, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Despite ending Week 17 prep with back-to-back limited practices, Moore is missing a second consecutive game due to an ankle injury. With DeAndre Hopkins (knee) also on injured reserve, the Cardinals will trot out A.J. Green, Christian Kirk, Antoine Wesley, Andy Isabella and Greg Dortch at wide receiver Sunday.

Humphrey (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, John DeShazier of the team's official site reports.

Humphrey dealt with a non-COVID-19 illness late in the week, but he'll be out there against Carolina for the late-season divisional clash. The 23-year-old is coming off a career-best three-catch, 70-yard performance against the Dolphins in Week 16, numbers he generated with rookie Ian Book at quarterback.

Montgomery (back) is active for Sunday's contest against the Panthers, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.

Montgomery didn't practice Thursday or Friday, but he will still be available for Week 17. Across 12 appearances this season, the hybrid wideout has totaled 15 catches for 94 yards and 14 rushes for 48 yards.

Conley (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Though Conley, who caught all three of his targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in last weekend's win over the Chargers, should remain a factor in the Texans passing attack, the team's target leader Brandin Cooks is back from the reserve/COVID-19 list. With that in mind, Conley - who is averaging 21.7 receiving yards per game to date -- profiles as speculative Week 17 fantasy lineup option.

Sutton (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.  

Sutton, whom coach Vic Fangio indicated earlier in the week could potentially land on the reserve/COVID-19 list, approached the contest officially listed as questionable, but he's available Sunday after all. With Jerry Jeudy (illness) and Tim Patrick (illness) currently on the COVID list, Sutton -- whose production of late has been modest -- is a bounce-candidate versus Los Angeles, given that he seems likely to see his share of Week 17 targets while heading a wideout corps that also includes Kendall Hinton, Diontae Spencer, Seth Williams and Travis Fulgham.

Boykin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Boykin has been active for the Ravens' last two games, though he played only a combined two offensive snaps in that span. With James Proche (coach's decision) also inactive, Sammy Watkins should move closer to a full-time role on offense. Meanwhile, Tylan Wallace will be a key special teams contributor.

Strachan (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Strachan will be in street clothes for the seventh straight game. The rookie wideout's chances of suiting up in the Jan. 9 regular-season finale in Jacksonville wouldn't seem to be promising, as the Colts could get Parris Campbell (foot) back from injured reserve for that contest.

McKenzie could be in line to see decreased work on offense with Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis both back from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Even though Emmanuel Sanders is inactive Sunday with a knee injury, there are still three healthy wideouts presumably ahead of McKenzie on the depth chart, so there's a risk he's relegated back to return duties despite an outstanding effort in Week 16. With Beasley and Davis both out last week against New England, the door was open for McKenzie to log a career game, and he did just that by catching 11 of his 12 targets for 125 yards and a score. Amended NFL protocol will allow the position group to get closer to full strength faster than expected, however, so it's unclear what might be left over for McKenzie, even in a favorable matchup against Atlanta.
