McLaurin (ankle), who is listed as doubtful, isn't expected to play Sunday versus Carolina, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 24-year-old was labeled doubtful when Washington released its injury report Friday, and it appears his outlook hasn't improved halfway through the weekend. Running back Antonio Gibson (toe) is likely to suit up despite being considered questionable, and quarterback Alex Smith (calf) is also listed as questionable for the Football Team. Cam Sims, Logan Thomas and J.D. McKissic are poised for increased roles in the passing game with McLaurin not expected to play Sunday.

Robinson (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday at Jacksonville, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

It's not a major surprise to see that the 27-year-old intends to suit up Sunday, as the Bears can secure a wild-card spot by winning their final two games of the regular season. Robinson's availability will come into focus when Chicago releases its list of inactives about 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Agholor reeled in five of six targets for 155 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 26-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Agholor's explosive 85-yard TD provided Las Vegas with a six-point lead at the 3:37 mark of the fourth quarter, before Daniel Carlson failed on the subsequent point-after try. The 27-year-old wideout has been revitalized in his debut campaign with the Raiders, surpassing a previous career high Saturday by pushing his season-long receiving total to 839 yards. A Week 16 receiving score pulls Agholor even to his personal best of eight as Las Vegas enters its season finale against the Broncos' 10th-ranked pass defense, albeit one that's working through a few injuries. The fact that Agholor has attracted six-plus targets in six straight games promotes him as a high-floor option.

Allen (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, isn't expected to play Sunday versus Denver, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Allen was limited to 24 offensive snaps last week against the Raiders due to the hamstring injury, and he may be forced to miss his first game of the season this weekend. Quarterback Justin Herbert may be without two of his top weapons Sunday since tight end Hunter Henry (undisclosed) is also potentially unavailable while on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Hill (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 26-year-old never appeared to be in serious danger of missing Sunday's contest, as coach Andy Reid previously indicated the wideout was expected to play despite being listed as questionable. Hill's availability will be officially known when Kansas City releases its list of inactives about 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Grant is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Raiders with an ankle injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

The 28-year-old had five catches for 43 yards to lead Miami's pass catchers before going down with the injury during the third quarter. Isaiah Ford and Mack Hollins could see increased snaps if Grant is unable to retake the field Saturday.

Kirk caught seven of 10 targets for 76 yards during Saturday's 20-12 loss to the 49ers.

Kirk led the team in receiving yardage while notching a new season high in receptions. He ripped off a 38-yard gain, which was his longest in seven games, and was unfortunate to miss out on a poorly thrown end-zone target in the fourth quarter. Kirk had totaled just 68 yards on 10 receptions over the last four games, so this performance was surely a welcome sight for the Cardinals. His productivity should be crucial in next Sunday's matchup with the Rams.

Hopkins (upper body) caught eight of 12 targets for 48 yards during Saturday's 20-12 loss to the 49ers.

Hopkins left the game near the end of the second quarter after hurting his upper body while going for a ball in the end zone, but he later returned to the game. Although he caught 75 percent of the passes thrown his way, he didn't record a single reception of 10 yards or longer as he finished with an average of 6.0 yards per catch. Hopkins piled up 305 yards over the last two weeks and was coming off his best yardage total in a Cardinals uniform, so this disappointing effort was likely quite frustrating to fantasy managers who rode him deep into the playoffs. He'll likely be assessed over the next couple of days but appears on track to play in next Sunday's season finale against the Rams.

Humphrey reverted to the Saints' practice squad Saturday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Humphrey was called up for a second straight week because both Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) are on injured reserve. The 22-year-old wide receiver scored his first career touchdown last week, but he was blanked by the Vikings in Friday's 52-33 win. With Thomas and Smith both out Week 17 as well, Humphrey could be back on the active roster for the season finale against Carolina.

Aiyuk recorded one reception on two targets for 15 yards in Week 16 against the Cardinals. He added one rushing attempt for 16 yards.

C.J. Beathard completed only 13 passes, leaving most of the 49ers' receiving options with little volume. He targeted wide receivers on only four occasions, providing Aiyuk with very little chance to produce. The result was Aiyuk's lowest reception total of his career. It also snapped a very productive stretch for him, as he had topped 70 receiving yards in each of his last six games. With Nick Mullens' (elbow) season officially over and Jimmy Garoppolo unlikely to return for a Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks, Aiyuk is likely to have shaky quarterback play to close the campaign.
