  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Titans' Kalif Raymond: Lands in concussion protocol

    Raymond sustained a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Saints, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Raymond has only played more than 20 offensive snaps in one game this year, so his absence won't shake up the team's offensive dynamic. However, the Titans' wideout depth is hurting, as Corey Davis (concussion) and Adam Humphries (ankle) are also on the mend. Raymond will attempt to clear the league's concussion protocol by Sunday's game against the Texans.

  • Isaiah Ford WR | CHI

    Dolphins' Isaiah Ford: Steps up in OT win

    Ford caught five of six targets for 68 yards during Sunday's 38-35 overtime win against the Bengals.

    Ford saw increased work in three-receiver sets after Allen Hurns (shoulder) exited Week 16's contest, resulting in an uptick in target volume behind DeVante Parker and Albert Wilson. The third-year pro has flashed down the stretch when injuries to Miami's top wideouts allow him to play a larger role, but he'll be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes until such time as he climbs the depth chart.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Titans' Corey Davis: Concussion confirmed

    Coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Monday that Davis is being evaluated under the NFL's concussion protocol, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Davis exited Sunday's 38-28 loss to the Saints with the head injury, finishing the day with three catches for 40 yards on four targets. The third-year receiver will need to clear all five phases of the protocol this week in order to get the green light for the Dec. 29 regular-season finale in Houston. A.J. Brown and Tajae Sharpe would operate as Tennessee's clear top options at receiver if both Davis and Adam Humphries (ankle) aren't able to make it back by the weekend.

  • Darius Slayton WR | IND

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Goes quiet Week 16

    Slayton had zero catches on two targets during Sunday's 41-35 overtime win over the Redskins.

    The 22-year-old had 27 receptions for 417 yards and five touchdowns over the previous five games, but he lost playing time to Cody Latimer on Sunday. Slayton played more than 69 percent of offensive snaps in those five games but played his lowest snap share of the season (29 percent) versus Washington compared to Latimer's 59-percent share. The rookie fifth-round pick is trending down for Week 17 with Sterling Shepard and Golden Tate healthy.

  • Eagles' J.J. Arcega-Whiteside: Coach downplays injury

    Coach Doug Pederson said Arcega-Whiteside is expected to be OK after picking up a foot injury in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Cowboys, but the rookie will undergo additional tests Monday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

    Based on Pederson's comments, Arcega-Whiteside's tests look to be mostly precautionary in nature, and the coach notably didn't even categorize the wideout as "day-to-day," as he often likes to do with the team's injured players. Arcega-Whiteside's practice time might still be limited, but assuming he's ready to go by the time the Eagles' Week 17 matchup with the Giants arrives, he should retain a regular role in three-receiver sets. The elevated playing time Arcega-Whiteside has gained of late hasn't meant much for fantasy purposes, as he's tallied only seven catches for 126 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets over the past five games.

  • Browns' Odell Beckham Jr.: Finds end zone against Ravens

    Beckham caught four of six targets for 44 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-15 loss to the Ravens.

    Beckham averaged just 11 yards per catch against a stout Ravens secondary, but he salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective with a well-executed three-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter. He also was seen talking to head coach Freddie Kitchens rather demonstratively on the sidelines, but he later relayed that the conversation was about the officiating. The touchdown was just Beckham's third of the season, but he's nearing a 1,000-yard campaign despite a lack of eye-catching performances. He will look to finish the season strong against the Bengals on Sunday.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Rams' Josh Reynolds: Hauls in 24-yard pass

    Reynolds caught two of three targets for 32 yards during Saturday's 34-31 loss to San Francisco.

    Reynolds played 29 of 70 offensive snaps, which was the fewest of Los Angeles' top four receivers for the second consecutive week. He did show off in space again Saturday by rattling off 23 yards after the catch on his 24-yard reception in the first quarter -- his eighth of over 20 yards this season. The third-year wideout could receive more playing time next week against the Cardinals with nothing on the line for the Rams.

  • Javon Wims WR | CAR

    Bears' Javon Wims: Second-leading receiver in loss

    Wims caught three passes for 26 yards in the Bears' 26-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Wims saw regular playing time for the fifth-straight game while Taylor Gabriel recovers from a concussion, but he's averaged fewer than 20 yards per game during that span. He won't carry much upside into a Week 17 battle against the Vikings.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: Leads team in receiving

    Robinson caught six passes for 53 yards in the Bears' 26-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Robinson was the only Bears receiver to post more than 26 yards, and he led the team with 12 targets in a game in which they struggled to move the ball consistently. He did have a chance to score on a fourth-down play in the red zone when he was targeted in the end zone, but the pass was underthrown. He'll look to end the season on a high note in a Week 17 matchup against the Vikings as he looks to add to his 89 receptions and 1,078 yards.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Moderate output in win

    Hill reeled in all five of his targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over Chicago.

    The Chiefs led this contest comfortably wire-to-wire, so the offense didn't need to take too many downfield shots. This resulted in Hill tying his season low (in a full game) of five targets. Both he and Travis Kelce paced all Kansas City receiving options in production as per usual, and we should expect more of the same against the Chargers in Week 17. The Chiefs are still able to earn a first-round bye if the Patriots lose next week, so the team figures to play its starters despite having the division locked up.
