Crabtree caught one pass (four targets) for 20 yards in Saturday's 22-10 win over the Chargers.

The only positive that can be said about Crabtree's performance is that at least he didn't go catchless like the week prior. The veteran, along with the rest of Baltimore's starting receiver corps, has seen his fantasy value almost vanish since Lamar Jackson took over as starter. The most you can hope for from Crabtree these days is that he can break free for a big score or see heavy usage around the goal line, neither of which has happened since Week 12 (21 yards and a touchdown). His fortunes are unlikely to change in Week 17's matchup with the Browns.

Allen snagged five of his eight targets for 58 yards in the 22-10 loss Saturday to the Ravens.

Allen snared his usual high target share, but excellent tackling by the Ravens made any yards-after-catch opportunities disappear, thus limiting the 26-year-old's effectiveness. Fantasy owners will want to pay attention to the news coming out of Los Angeles throughout the week, as there's a possibility the Chargers could rest many of their star players in the event the Chiefs win Sunday night against the Seahawks, and again next week Sunday against the Raiders, both of which are currently scheduled to occur before the Chargers' Week 17 contest (4:25 p.m EST against the Broncos).

Floyd had one catch (three targets) for a seven-yard touchdown in Saturday's 25-16 loss to Tennessee.

Floyd was able to catch his first touchdown pass of the season after moving up to third on the depth chart with Maurice Harris (concussion) ruled out. While the score was nice, the overall lack of involvement severely limits Floyd's fantasy appeal. (He hasn't caught more than two passes in a game all season.) The veteran shouldn't draw much fantasy interest even if Harris can't play against the Eagles in Week 17.

Crowder had five catches (seven targets) for 78 yards in Saturday's 25-16 loss to Tennessee.

Crowder continues to be Josh Johnson's favorite target, resulting in two fantasy-relevant stat lines in the three games with the Redskins' recent quarterback. The 25-year-old has proven to be a reliable PPR option over the previous three seasons, but Johnson's inaccurate arm makes Crowder a risky play against the Eagles, even with the recent uptick in production and soft matchup.

Davis caught three passes (five targets) for 45 yards and also rushed once for one yard in Saturday's 25-16 win over the Redskins.

It was another quiet fantasy day from Davis, who hasn't surpassed 50 receiving yards or caught a touchdown since Week 13. A big part of his downturn in production has been the team's focus on getting Derrick Henry going on the ground. That strategy has resulted in four consecutive wins, saving Tennessee's season, so don't expect the run-heavy gameplan to change against the Colts in Week 17. Davis is best left as a deep-league option for the final week of the regular season.

Montgomery is active for Saturday's game against the Chargers.

Montgomery was inactive in Week 15, but has seemingly jumped Javorious Allen on the depth chart, as it's the latter who is inactive Saturday. Montgomery still figures to face an uphill battle for touches with both Gus Edwards and Kenneth Dixon doing well in recent weeks.

Allen (hip) is active for Saturday's contest against the Ravens.

All indications throughout the week suggested Allen would be good to go for the pivotal contest against the Ravens, and that proved correct following the release of the Chargers' inactive list. Baltimore has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to the wide receiver position this season, but Allen has proven to be essentially matchup proof in 2018 and should be set to receive his usual 10-12 targets once more.

Turner was waived by the Seahawks on Saturday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Turner signed with the Seahawks at the end of October and caught two passes for 20 yards in his six games with the team. The 22-year-old will become a free agent if he clears waivers, and is a candidate for the practice squad should he go unclaimed.

Lacy was promoted to the Lions' 53-man roster Saturday.

Lacy spent the first 15 weeks of the season on the team's practice squad but joins the active roster with Bruce Ellington (hamstring) going on injured reserve. The 22-year-old should serve as a depth option at wide receiver for Detroit.

Sutton (quadriceps) is not listed on the Broncos' injury report heading into Monday's contest.

Sutton managed to put together a full practice Saturday, which likely led to the removal of the injury designation. The rookie wideout has seen at least six targets in the last two contests, but he's still been surpassed by the likes of DaeSean Hamilton and Tim Patrick in numerous receiving categories over that stretch. The Broncos' offense as a whole should thrive against a morbid Raiders defense, which would likely lead to a plethora of red-zone opportunities for the 6-foot-3 rookie. However, the emergence of Hamilton and Patrick make using Sutton a risky proposition regardless of the matchup.
