Chicago activated Robinson (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Larry Meyer of the Bears' official site reports.

After testing positive for the virus Dec. 16, Robinson missed two consecutive games before he was cleared to rejoin the facility Monday following an 11-day quarantine. Because Robinson will be on track for a full slate of practices this week, he should be able to handle a normal snap count Sunday against the Giants, assuming he feels fine from a conditioning standpoint. A hamstring injury and the stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list has resulted in Robinson making just one appearance since the Bears' Week 10 bye.

Green Bay placed Rodgers on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after he tested positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Rodgers returned two kickoffs for 44 yards and one punt for nine yards while not playing an offensive snap during Saturday's win over the Browns. He's now in the health and safety protocols, and his availability for Week 17 is in question.

Reagor caught two of his four targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Giants.

Reagor was coming off a career-high 57 yards in his previous outing and looked like he might see one of his higher target totals of the season in this one, but Jalen Hurts didn't throw him the ball at all in the second half. The 2020 first-round pick remains at best the third option in the passing game for a run-heavy team.

Chargers head coach Brandon Staley confirmed Monday that Williams, who is on the reserve/COVID-19 list, won't be eligible to play Week 17 against the Broncos, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Los Angeles placed Williams on the list Saturday and ruled him out ahead of Sunday's eventual loss to the Texans, but the team didn't provide any specifics behind why he was deactivated. Though Staley didn't go into much detail when talking to the press Monday, his acknowledgement that Williams won't be available for Week 17 confirms that the wideout was placed on the list as an unvaccinated player who tested positive for the virus. As a result, Williams will have to complete a 10-day quarantine dating back to when he first tested positive (Saturday), thereby keeping him out for a second straight game. While Jalen Guyton (illness) also was on the reserve/COVID-19 list for the Week 16 loss, Joshua Palmer (five catches for 43 yards and a touchdown on six targets) was one of the main beneficiaries of extra playing time and looks at receiver.

Tennessee placed Westbrook-Ikhine on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Along with Westbrook-Ikhine, fellow wideout Julio Jones was placed on the list after both players tested positive for the virus, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. A.J. Brown and Chester Rogers currently profile as the Titans' top available options at the position as Sunday's game against the Dolphins approaches.

Dorsett (foot) is expected to miss the final two games of the season but won't need surgery, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Dorsett injured his foot leaping for a pass in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Chargers and was unable to return to the contest. He finished what will likely be his last game of the season with three catches for 55 yards. The 28-year-old spent time with the Jaguars, Seahawks and Texans during the 2021 campaign and will likely draw some interest from teams in need of veteran wideout depth during the offseason.

Tampa Bay placed Evans (hamstring) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

After missing the Buccaneers' Week 16 win over the Panthers due to the strained hamstring, Evans was gearing up for a potential return to the lineup Week 17 against the Jets, but his placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list provides another complication in his effort to play Sunday. If vaccinated, Evans will have a chance to test out of the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol prior to Sunday's game, but he'll almost certainly miss practice time leading up to the contest. With that in mind, Evans seems likely to miss his second straight game, leaving Antonio Brown as the clear No. 1 target in the passing game for quarterback Tom Brady.

The Lions placed Reynolds (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

Reynolds' move to the list was merely a formality after head coach Dan Campbell confirmed earlier in the day that the wideout tested positive for the virus. If he's vaccinated, Reynolds will have a chance to test out of the protocols ahead of Sunday's game in Seattle, though his availability for that contest is far from certain.

Wilson caught two of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 56-14 win over Washington.

On a night when the Cowboys offense was dominant, Wilson had a very quiet performance. The veteran wideout played on just 36 percent of the team's offensive snaps, limiting his opportunities in the contest. Wilson has been serviceable as the Cowboys' No. 4 receiver, but with CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup all healthy, he'll hold little fantasy value going forward.

Gallup secured two of five targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 56-14 win over Washington.

Gallup didn't necessarily have a huge game Sunday, but his five targets were a promising sight as the Cowboys offense got back on track against Washington. In fact, the 25-year-old wideout has not seen fewer than five targets in any of the eight games he's played this season. Always a threat for a big play, Gallup could be hard to trust in the fantasy playoffs with so many mouths to feed in Dallas. The Cowboys will host the Cardinals in Week 17.
