Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Contained in Week 16 win
Hill caught four of his six targets for 65 yards during Sunday's 17-14 win against the Falcons.
Hill was limited by a hamstring issue Thursday and Friday in practice after being listed as a non-participant Wednesday. However, coach Andy Reid portrayed confidence late in the week regarding his star receiver's status. The five-time Pro Bowler was, indeed, able to avoid his first game absence of 2020, but the Falcons kept him without a touchdown for just the second time since Week 6. Hill has been held under 80 receiving yards in four consecutive games, though a combined three TDs boosted his value between Weeks 14 and 15. There's a high probability of Hill being rested for Kansas City's regular-season finale against the Chargers, with the Chiefs having secured the AFC's No. 1 seed by virtue of Sunday's win.

Allen Robinson WR | DET
Bears' Allen Robinson: Breaks century mark again
Robinson caught 10 passes for 103 yards in the Bears' 41-17 victory over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Facing a decimated Jaguars secondary, Robinson was consistently open, and he and Mitch Trubisky connected on 10 of 13 pass attempts. However, even though the team was deep in the red zone on numerous occasions, Robinson was largely ignored, keeping him from adding a touchdown to his impressive yardage total. He's averaging over 100 yards over the last three games, and he'll have a Week 17 matchup against a Packers defense he posted 74 yards and two touchdowns against in Week 12.

Michael Pittman WR | PIT
Colts' Michael Pittman: Possible concussion
Pittman exited Sunday's game against the Steelers with a possible concussion, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Prior to leaving the contest to be evaluated for a possible concussion, Pittman caught three of his five targets for 38 yards.

Mack Hollins WR | NE
Dolphins' Mack Hollins: Makes critical catch
Hollins secured two of four targets for 42 yards during Saturday's 26-25 win over the Raiders.
Hollins' best catch of the day came in the form of a 34-yard grab down the left side of the field with just 19 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, a play which set the Dolphins up for a game-winning field goal. The 27-year-old could handle another expanded role on offense Week 17 if DeVante Parker (hamstring) remains sidelined.

John Hightower WR | LAC
Eagles' John Hightower: Healthy scratch again Sunday
Hightower (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 16 tilt against the Cowboys, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
The rookie wideout has been a healthy scratch for three consecutive games, a status that was seemingly even more of a certainty this week with DeSean Jackson (ankle) being activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Football Team's Terry McLaurin: Taking seat Week 16
McLaurin (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Panthers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Washington will be without its top wide receiver for the first time this season due to the ankle issue that has hindered McLaurin since late November. He averages 9.5 targets per game, which now will filter down to the likes of Logan Thomas, J.D. McKissic and Cam Sims.
-
Lynn Bowden Jr. WR | NO
Dolphins' Lynn Bowden: Just two catches in narrow win
Bowden secured two of three targets for eight yards during Saturday's 26-25 win over the Raiders. He also carried the ball once for eight yards.
Bowden worked behind all of Jakeem Grant, Mack Hollins and Isaiah Ford in Miami's wide receiver corps Saturday, even with DeVante Parker (hamstring) sidelined. The rookie third-round pick has flashed real pass-catching ability, but he's not yet involved on offense with enough consistency to warrant fantasy consideration outside of deep formats.

Alex Erickson WR | HOU
Bengals' Alex Erickson: Added snaps likely Sunday
Erickson is expected to start in place of Tyler Boyd (concussion) Sunday against the Texans, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Tee Higgins and A.J. Green are also in the team's wide receiver mix Sunday, so Erickson -- who's caught five passes for 43 yards in 14 games to date -- still represents a speculative fantasy option in Week 16 lineups.

Isaiah Coulter WR | BUF
Texans' Isaiah Coulter: Healthy scratch against Bengals
Coulter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
The fifth-round rookie from Rhode Island made his NFL debut Week 14 against the Bears, however, he went without a target on a limited workload of six offensive snaps. Coulter was active last Sunday against the Colts, but he did not reach the field. Brandin Cooks stands as the Texans' clear No. 1 wideout, while Keke Coutee and Chad Hansen slot into prominent WR roles for Week 16.
