  • Cowboys' Cedrick Wilson: Quiet in win

    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.

  • Michael Gallup WR | WAS

    Cowboys' Michael Gallup: Catches two passes in win

    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.

  • Ashton Dulin WR | IND

    Colts' Ashton Dulin: Catches one pass in win

    Dulin caught one of two targets for 23 yards during Saturday's 22-16 win over the Cardinals.

    Dulin continues to have limited involvement in the Colts' offense, but he has shown flashes of big-play potential. Michael Pittman and T.Y. Hilton are expected to dominate the majority of the attention in the passing game, so any fantasy production that Dulin is able to generate is expected to be sporadic and unreliable. The Colts have an advantageous matchup against the Raiders in Week 17, but Dulin will likely be a risky fantasy option.

  • Buccaneers' Breshad Perriman: Comes off COVID-19 list

    Tampa Bay reinstated Perriman (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Perriman was placed on the list Dec. 18, with the timing of his positive test of the virus resulting in him missing both of the past two games while he recuperated. Now healthy again, Perriman could find himself in a more prominent role in a Buccaneers receiver room that looks much different from when he last played Week 14 against the Bills. Since then, Antonio Brown has returned from an extended absence due to an ankle injury and a suspension, while Chris Godwin (knee) is shut down for the season and Mike Evans (hamstring) is week-to-week. Evans will have a chance at returning Sunday against the Jets, but even if he and Brown are able to handle full workloads, Perriman could push Tyler Johnson and Cyril Grayson for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart. Grayson essentially filled Perriman's role as Tampa Bay's designated downfield threat in the Week 16 win over the Panthers, recording 81 yards on three receptions while playing 82 percent of the snaps on offense. He then reverted to the practice squad following the game.

  • Darius Slayton WR | IND

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Catches one pass in loss

    Slayton caught one of five targets for seven yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Eagles.

    Slayton's struggles continued Sunday despite playing on 80 percent of the team's offensive snaps. The Giants offense is downright horrible at the moment, hampering the fantasy value of all the team's skill position players. Slayton will look to get back on track against the Bears in Week 17, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Lions' Josh Reynolds: Recovering from positive COVID test

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Reynolds tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Detroit is expected to formally place Reynolds on the reserve/COVID-19 list at some point in the next couple of days. 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 a given. Since he was claimed off waivers from the Titans on Nov. 10, Reynolds has logged at least 63 percent of the Lions' offensive snaps in all six of his appearances, stringing together an 18-295-2 receiving line on 33 targets over that stretch.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: Set to be activated

    Robinson (illness) is set to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.

    The move has not been made official just yet, but Robinson is on the verge of returning after missing two games due to the COVID-19 virus. Assuming Robinson comes off the list in the coming days, he should be ready to return for the Bears' Week 17 matchup with the Giants.

  • Falcons' Olamide Zaccheaus: Two catches in win

    Zaccheaus caught two of his four targets for 32 yards during Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions.

    With Calvin Ridley (personal) away from the team and Tajae Sharpe (foot) sidelined for Week 16, Zaccheaus drew the start opposite Russell Gage. However, Matt Ryan once again relied heavily on his tight ends, as Kyle Pitts (6 catches for 102 yards) and Hayden Hurst (two catches for 21 yards and a touchdown) were the most productive fantasy pass catchers for the Falcons on Sunday. Zaccheaus continues to garner plenty of snaps but has failed to generate any consistent production, making him a risky fantasy option against the Bills in Week 17.

  • N'Keal Harry TE | SEA

    Patriots' N'Keal Harry: Sees season-high 61 snaps

    Harry was on the field for a season-high 61 (of a possible 64 snaps) on offense in Sunday's 33-21 loss to the Bills, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Harry's increased snap count count was the result of Nelson Agholor (concussion) being out, but his fantasy impact was modest, as the 2019 first-rounder hauled in just two of his six targets for 15 yards. If Agholor is cleared ahead of the coming weekend, Harry's Week 17 workload would take a hit, but either way, steady volume continues to elude him, thus making Harry a low-level fantasy option.

  • Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Reels in two passes

    Eskridge caught two of three targets for 10 yards and rushed once for seven yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.

    The rookie second-round pick has struggled to get involved on offense this season, as he missed seven games with a concussion and has played more than 50 percent of the offensive snaps just once. He's worth holding onto in dynasty because of the draft capital used to bring him in, but Eskridge isn't dependable in redraft leagues.
