Sutton's rehab from ACL surgery is on track, with the wideout hoping to be ready for the beginning of next season, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

Sutton injured his knee Sept. 20, had surgery about a month later, and has been been jogging as part of his rehab routine since Jan. 14. He mentioned the possibility of some limited participation in the offseason program, though he may not be cleared to practice until training camp. Entering the fourth and final season of his rookie contract, Sutton may need to adjust to a new quarterback, as the Broncos are rumored to be seeking an upgrade on Drew Lock.

Callaway caught 21 passes for 213 yards in 11 regular-season games as a rookie in 2020.

Callaway enjoyed modest production as a rookie out of Tennessee, going 21-213-0 as a receiver and filling in on kickoff and punt return duties while Deonte Harris was injured. Callaway will have plenty of competition for targets when he returns for his second season with a presumably healthy receiving corps.

Harris (neck) finished the 2020 regular season with 20 receptions for 186 yards and a touchdown and added six carries for 51 yards.

Harris saw some increased run with injuries in New Orleans' receiving corps, though injuries of his own forced him to miss seven games, not to mention a neck injury forced him out of the Saints' playoff loss to Tampa Bay. Prior to that, he went 7-83-0 in the wild-card round against Chicago. The second-year man took a step forward in the receiving game, though it's reasonable to expect some regression if Michael Thomas can stay healthy all season. Harris will likely make his mark as a return specialist in 2021.

Webster played just eight offensive snaps during the 2020 season.

While there were glimpses of receiving potential from the sophomore in training camp, Webster was relegated to punt- and kick-return duty this season. With few fantasy formats rewarding return yardage, the 25-year-old Eastern Washington product was an afterthought in the majority of settings. The Rams will likely bolster their receiving corps through the draft and/or free agency during the offseason, and Webster will probably have to battle to retain his special-teams job next year.

Jackson didn't see the field during the 2020 regular season.

A late-bloomer at Syracuse, Jackson piled up 66 receptions, 1,023 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns over 12 games in his final season with the Orange. While he wasn't active for a single game this year for the Rams, there projects to be some offseason turnover at wide receiver, and Jackson will compete for playing time in training camp. Just note, he's a long shot to carve out a meaningful role and return fantasy value out of the gate next September.

Evans (knee) remained limited Friday at practice.

Although he wasn't a full participant, the Bucs estimate that Evans wouldn't have any injury designation if they had a game to play this Sunday. He should be fine with another week to prepare for the Super Bowl, gearing up to face a solid KC secondary.

Evans (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Since picking up a knee injury Week 17, Evans' has had his practice reps capped, but he's still produced, per usual. Through three postseason games, Evans has compiled a 10-173-2 line on 21 targets. The Buccaneers are in the midst of their first of two weeks of preparation for Super Bowl LV, so there's little reason to believe Evans' status against the Chiefs is in question.

Robinson didn't draw a target while playing 42 of the Chiefs' 65 offensive snaps (65 percent) in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Bills in the AFC Championship Game.

With Sammy Watkins (calf) sidelined, Robinson and Byron Pringle (three catches for 22 yards, 80 percent snap share) picked up the majority of the available work behind No. 1 wideout Tyreek Hill, but Mecole Hardman (54 yards and a touchdown on three touches) outproduced both players, despite playing only 35 percent of the snaps. Hardman's big-play ability makes him the most interesting of Kansas City's depth receivers, but he, Robinson and Pringle will all likely be hurt from a playing-time and production standpoint in the likely event that Watkins is able to suit up for the team's Super Bowl matchup with Tampa Bay on Feb. 7.

McKenze is scheduled for unrestricted free agency this offseason, Ashley Holder of WGRZ reports.

McKenzie finished 2020 with career highs for catches (30), receiving yards (282) and touchdowns (five), despite working as Buffalo's fourth or fifth WR for most of the year. He's generally been an effective role player in his two and a half seasons with the team, catching 75 of 103 targets (72.8 percent) for 744 yards and six touchdowns, plus 28-124-2 on the ground. The Bills probably want to keep him around, but McKenzie might find a bigger role and/or more money if he explores the open market.

Snead isn't sure if he'll re-sign with the Ravens this offseason, according to the team's official website.

The 28-year-old slot receiver is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March, coming off a 33/432/3 receiving line in 13 regular-season games in 2020. Snead's tenacity made him a good fit in Baltimore's run-heavy offense, but the team may reconsider its priorities at wide receiver, perhaps looking for players with more ability to separate from defensive backs. 2020 third-round pick Devin Duvernay would be one option to replace Snead if the veteran doesn't end up re-signing with Baltimore.
