Williams (back) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Williams was forced out of Sunday's game against the Falcons after logging just two snaps, so his status will need to be monitored in advance of Thursday night's game against the Raiders. If he's limited or out Week 15, added opportunities would be available for Tyron Johnson.

Allen (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Allen was on the field for 57 of the Chargers' 73 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-17 win Sunday over the Falcons, while catching nine of his 11 targets for 52 yards and a TD. We'll revisit the wideout's status once the team hits the field next to see if he's simply managing a minor issue or is in any danger of being limited or out Thursday night against the Raiders.

James caught all three of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 23-15 loss to the Football Team.

Deebo Samuel (hamstring) went down on San Francisco's first offensive drive, opening the door for James to log 26 snaps on offense (32 percent) in addition to his 15 on special teams. The 5-foot-9 burner wasn't able to break off any big plays, which is necessary for him to be relevant in fantasy circles. Samuel will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of his injury, but there's a realistic chance his season is over. If he can't go Sunday, James would serve as the 49ers' third receiver against a terrible Dallas defense.

Claypool brought in three of his six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 26-15 loss to the Bills.

Claypool was limited in practice for most of the week due to an illness, but he didn't appear to have any restrictions during Sunday's matchup. The 22-year-old's target share has dropped considerably over the past two weeks, as he's only averaging five targets per game during that time. Plus, his average of 2.5 yards per target against the Bills was his lowest mark since Week 6. Several other Steelers have struggled with drops in recent weeks, but Claypool hasn't seen an increased target share as a result.

Johnson hauled in four of his seven targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 26-15 loss to the Bills.

Johnson was targeted four times over the first two drives of Sunday's contest, but he dropped three of those passes. As a result, the 2019 third-rounder appeared to be benched for most of the first half, and he now has a league-worst 13 drops this season. Johnson still was effective with the ball in his hands Sunday, but it's safe to wonder whether he'll have a decreased role going forward if he fails to haul in targets.

Conley wasn't targeted during Sunday's 31-10 loss to Tennessee.

The 28-year-old played only nine offensive snaps despite the Jaguars trailing all afternoon, and he wasn't targeted on any of the 54 pass attempts from Mike Glennon and Gardner Minshew. Rookie Collin Johnson continues to operate as Jacksonville's No. 4 wide receiver, leaving Conley to play a handful of snaps each week.

Johnson caught two of three targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Titans.

The rookie fifth-round pick had eight receptions for 162 yards and a touchdown over the previous two contests, but he received only three targets during Sunday's blowout defeat. Even with Jacksonville trailing all day, Johnson played only 19 of 71 offensive snaps and remains clearly behind DJ Chark, Laviska Shenault and Keelan Cole on the depth chart.

Shenault caught six of 11 targets for 49 yards and had one carry for two yards during Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Titans.

It's the first time the 22-year-old reached double-digit targets in a game this season, but he was unable to provide much production with Mike Glennon and Gardner Minshew combining for 263 yards on 54 pass attempts. Shenault is averaging 4.0 receptions for 39.3 yards and 12.7 rushing yards per game with one total touchdown in three outings since returning from the hamstring injury. The rookie wideout hasn't topped 50 receiving yards in a game since Week 5 and has a limited ceiling, even with the expected boost to the offense from Minshew reclaiming the starting job at quarterback.

Grant (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Grant was forced out of Sunday's narrow loss to the Chiefs early, and it looks like he isn't a lock to return against the Patriots in Week 15. With DeVante Parker (leg) and Mike Gesicki (shoulder) both also having been forced out Sunday, and Preston Williams (foot) already on IR, the Dolphins' pass-catching corps can scarcely afford more attrition.

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.
