DJ Moore WR | BUF
Panthers' DJ Moore: Expected to come off COVID list
Moore (ankle) is expected to be removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list in time for Saturday's game against the Packers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Moore missed last weekend's 32-27 loss to the Broncos while on the COVID list, but it looks like he's on track to rejoin teammates in the near future. The 23-year-old hasn't actually had a chance to resume practicing since suffering a sprained ankle Week 12, but it appears as though his physical health has been trending upward.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Just two catches in win
Lamb caught both his targets for 46 yards and gained 15 rushing yards on one carry in Sunday's 30-7 win over the Bengals.
The Cowboys' passing game didn't need to do much after three early Cincinnati fumbles led to 17 first-half points for Dallas, but Lamb made the most of his limited opportunities. The two targets were a season low for the rookie, and he hasn't reached 50 receiving yards in four straight games heading into Week 15's clash with the 49ers.

Michael Gallup WR | WAS
Cowboys' Michael Gallup: Does little with six targets
Gallup caught two of six targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-7 win over the Bengals.
The Cowboys' passing game didn't need to do much after three early Cincinnati fumbles led to 17 first-half points for Dallas, but Gallup still failed to take advantage of his opportunities. Despite consistent target volume, he's topped 50 receiving yards just once in the last five games heading into a potentially tough matchup Week 15 against the 49ers.

Brandin Cooks WR | SF
Texans' Brandin Cooks: Could return Week 15
Interim coach Romeo Crennel said Monday that Cooks (foot/neck) will be evaluated leading up to Sunday's game in Indianapolis, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.
Crennel said that Cooks will have a good chance to suit up against the Colts as long as he can resume practicing, so the 27-year-old's status will warrant close monitoring as the week progresses. Keke Coutee and Chad Hansen once again figure to handle expanded roles on offense if Cooks were to miss time, especially with Will Fuller (suspension) out and Randall Cobb (toe) not expected to return from IR. On a positive note for Houston, David Johnson (undisclosed) is expected to come off the reserve/COVID-19 list this week.

Randall Cobb WR | NYJ
Texans' Randall Cobb: Unlikely to return this season
Interim coach Romeo Crennel said Monday that there is "a good possibility" Cobb (toe) will not return in 2020, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
The 30-year-old was placed on IR shortly after injuring his toe Week 11, and Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports that the veteran slot man could require offseason surgery. If it's indeed deemed that Cobb isn't fit to return for the Texans' final three games, Keke Coutee and Chad Hansen will continue seeing increased playing time. Cobb is under contract with the Texans for 2021, after which point the team has a potential out that would leave them with only $2 million in dead money against the cap.

Quintez Cephus WR | HOU
Lions' Quintez Cephus: Snags two more catches
Cephus caught both his targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 31-24 loss to Green Bay.
Cephus (33 snaps) again saw just as much playing time as Danny Amendola (35) but less than Marvin Jones (60) and Mohamed Sanu (41). However, the rookie wasn't able to make a big play in this one. Should Matthew Stafford (ribs) miss time or Kenny Golladay (hip) return to action, Cephus will be especially hard to trust as a fantasy option in Week 15 against the Titans.

David Moore WR | CAR
Seahawks' David Moore: Reels in sixth touchdown
Moore caught three of five targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Jets. He also added a nine-yard carry
Moore dropped a deep pass down the left sideline in the second quarter, leading to a three-and-out by the Seahawks. However, he made up for the whiff in the second half, snaring a three-yard pass from Russell Wilson to notch his sixth touchdown of the season -- a career high. Wilson has now targeted Moore 11 times in the red zone. The wideout will aim to extend his career highs in next week's matchup against Washington.

Allen Lazard WR | NYJ
Packers' Allen Lazard: Workload remains limited
Lazard was targeted three times and caught two passes for 19 yards in Sunday's victory over the Lions.
The Packers have limited Lazard's workload since he returned from an abdominal injury, and that continued Sunday, as he played fewer than 70 percent of the snaps for the fourth game in a row. He will next face a Panthers team that's allowed 10 receiving touchdowns over its last five games, but if Lazard remains limited he will not be able to take full advantage. If you are considering using the wideout in Week 15, be sure to keep tabs on his participation in practice in the coming days. If he is able to practice fully all week, he could see increased snap and target volume, likely at the expense of Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Marvin Jones WR | DET
Lions' Marvin Jones: Held in check by Green Bay
Jones caught four of eight targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Packers.
Yet again the alpha receiver with Kenny Golladay (hip) shelved, Jones was held in check by a respectable Green Bay secondary, and no Detroit receiver topped 66 yards despite playing from behind most of the game. As Golladay didn't practice in any capacity last Friday, it seems there's a good chance that Jones will continue to operate as the No. 1 wideout in Week 15, but his upside will be severely capped if Matthew Stafford (ribs) is forced to miss time.

Robert Foster WR | NYG
Football Team's Robert Foster: Makes second appearance of year
Foster finished without a catch on two targets in Sunday's 23-15 win over the 49ers.
It was Foster's second appearance since signing with Washington in late October. He played five snaps on offense and 14 on special teams, working as the No. 5 receiver behind Terry McLaurin, Cam Sims, Steven Sims and Isaiah Wright.
