Humphries hauled in three of six targets for 23 yards in Tuesday's 27-17 loss to the Eagles.

Though Washington was breaking in third-stringer Garrett Gilbert as its starting quarterback Tuesday, Humphries remained involved in the passing game. He's now had multiple catches in each of the last five games, securing 15 of 22 targets for 139 yards during that stretch.

Carter secured two of three targets for 12 yards and carried once for 12 yards in Tuesday's 27-17 loss to Philadelphia.

Carter has now had at least three targets in six of the last seven games, but he's totaled just 30 receiving yards across the last three weeks. He struggled with efficiency once again Tuesday with the newly signed Garrett Gilbert under center and ranked seventh on the team in receiving yards. Across his last seven appearances, the 28-year-old has hauled in 17 of 30 targets for 201 yards and three touchdowns while rushing four times for 17 yards.

Slayton secured two of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 21-6 loss to the Cowboys.

Even with the Giants trailing for most of the day and missing multiple key pass-catching weapons, Slayton didn't see much involvement while playing 62 percent of the offensive snaps. Slayton should at least be locked into a regular role in three-receiver sets for the Giants' final three games after Sterling Shepard suffered a season-ending torn Achilles' tendon in Sunday's loss.

Giantsa head coach Joe Judge said he expects Toney (illness) to return to team facilities Thursday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Toney appears to be nearing clearance from the league's COVID-19 protocols, but he won't be available for Wednesday's walk-through practice. Oblique and quadriceps injuries have kept Toney sidelined since Week 11, so the Giants will need to see how the rookie checks out from a conditioning standpoint before making a decision about his availability for Week 16 in Philadelphia.

Johnson reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Johnson played just two offensive snaps and four snaps on special teams in Monday's loss to the Raiders but didn't record any stats. Even if he returns to the active roster at some point, he'll likely continue to serve in a depth role.

Webster reverted to the Bears' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Webster was called up for Monday's game against the Vikings, but he played just one offensive snap and six snaps on special teams in the loss. He logged a tackle in kick coverage but will now return to Chicago's practice squad.

Newsome reverted to the Bears' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Newsome ranked third among the Bears' wide receivers by playing 48 offensive snaps in Monday's loss to the Vikings, but he was targeted just once. He'll now head back to the practice squad but is a candidate to rejoin the active roster at some point, particularly if Marquise Goodwin (foot) and Jakeem Grant (concussion) are unavailable.

Edwards caught three of four targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Monday's 16-14 win over the Browns.

Edwards' touchdown grab in the first quarter was the only time the Raiders found the end zone in the contest. Despite holding down a steady role on offense all season, the 23-year-old wideout has mostly disappointed, scoring three touchdowns while totaling just 30 receptions for 508 yards over 14 games. With matchups against the Broncos, Colts and Chargers to close out the season, Edwards will remain difficult to trust for fantasy purposes.

Beckham (illness) had one reception (three targets) for seven yards in Tuesday's 20-10 win over the Seahawks.

Beckham was activated promptly after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Dec. 14. It is unclear if the star wideout was limited following his absence, but the end result was poor from a fantasy perspective. Beckham was beginning to roll to the tune a 13-186-3 combined receiving line over the last three weeks, so Tuesday's showing appears to be an outlier. That said, Cooper Kupp (9-136-2 on Tuesday) is clearly Matthew Stafford's first option in the passing game. Beckham will look to get back on track against the Vikings on Sunday.

Watkins secured both targets for 14 yards in the Eagles' 27-17 win over Washington on Tuesday night.

The speedster was able to clear COVID-19 protocols approximately 48 hours prior to kickoff, but his overall impact on the game was minimal. Watkins has had some serviceable performances this season as a deep threat, yet the boom-or-bust nature of his production makes him a particularly speculative play at this juncture of the fantasy calendar.
