Robinson recorded two catches on two targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-17 win over the Dolphins.

Robinson was effective during his 15 offensive snaps, as his 44 receiving yards ended up being a season high for the veteran. This came despite quarterback Kirk Cousins completing just 14 passes in Sunday's rout. Robinson has just 17 catches on the year, though five of them have gone for touchdowns.

Cole played 39 offensive snaps but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Redskins.

The Jaguars had a miserable offensive performance Sunday as quarterback Cody Kessler attempted only 17 passes and totaled 57 passing yards. Cole once again served as the No. 3 wide receiver with D.J. Chark (quadriceps) still sidelined and actually saw one fewer snap than Donte Moncrief, but there's little fantasy value given the current state of Jacksonville's offense.

Ateman caught two passes for 20 yards on five targets during Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Bengals.

Ateman was on the field for 83 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps Sunday, but he failed to translate his involvement into significant production with just a 40 percent catch rate. Nonetheless, the rookie has caught at least two passes in all five contests since being promoted from the practice squad Week 11. Up next is a Broncos defense that held the Browns to under 200 yards passing Saturday.

Coach Marvin Lewis said the Bengals will make a decision on Boyd (knee) later this week, Richard Skinner of WKRC-TV Cincinnati reports.

While a decision hasn't actually been made, Lewis is implicitly acknowledging the possibility of Boyd being shut down for the final two weeks of the season. The 25-year-old wide receiver initially tried to play through a knee injury during Sunday's 30-16 win over the Raiders, ultimately sitting out for most of the second half, then saying afterward that he doesn't expect to miss any additional time. Reportedly dealing with a low-grade MCL sprain, Boyd may soon realize it isn't in his best interest to risk a more serious injury without the motivation of a playoff appearance. John Ross, Cody Core and Alex Erickson all figure to get plenty of run Week 16 in Cleveland.

Cobb has entered the concussion protocol, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Cobb was on the receiving end of a hit from safety Eddie Jackson in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 24-17 loss in Chicago and wasn't targeted the rest of the game. Finishing with three receptions (on seven targets) for 30 yards, Cobb now seems to be in danger of missing more time as he navigates through the NFL's protocol for head injuries. If he doesn't gain clearance from an independent neurologist before season's end, he'll yield the No. 2 wide receiver position behind Davante Adams to Equanimeous St. Brown. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Jake Kumerow and J'Mon Moore also would be in line for more snaps.

Powell caught three passes for 11 yards during Sunday's 14-13 loss to the Bills.

In Bruce Ellington's (hamstring) absence, Andy Jones (45 snaps) and TJ Jones (36) saw much more playing time than Powell (12). While Powell saw just as much action in the passing game as either of them anyway, none of them were given the opportunities on offense to make game-breaking plays. It'll continue to be hard to trust any Lions wideout not named Kenny Golladay over the final two weeks of the 2018 season.

Jones secured one of three targets for five yards during Sunday's 14-13 loss to Buffalo.

Bruce Ellington (hamstring) didn't play in this one, and the Lions chose to roll with Andy Jones over TJ Jones as the No. 2 wideout behind Kenny Golladay. Given how much TJ Jones has struggled to produce over the past few weeks despite Detroit's desperate need for someone to step up at receiver, there isn't much hope he'll be a worthwhile fantasy option over the final two weeks of the season -- despite how much opportunity is available to him.

Dorsett was on the field for two of the Patriots' 62 snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Steelers.

Dorsett has now gone three straight games without a target, and he'll remain off the fantasy radar until injuries hit the likes of Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon and Chris Hogan.

Coach Pat Shurmur said he isn't considering the idea of shutting Beckham (quad) down for the rest of the season, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Elimination from playoff contention means the Giants probably won't push Beckham too hard if he's still hurting, but the team does have some hope he can get healthy in time for a Week 16 game at Indianapolis, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Coming off back-to-back absences, the superstar wideout probably needs to log a full practice before he's cleared to play in a game. The Giants will release their initial Week 16 injury report Wednesday afternoon.

St. Brown caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday's loss to the Bears.

St. Brown was targeted three times for the second week in a row, but he did not make any noticeable impact Week 15. His snap count did rise for the second week in a row, and he seems to have overtaken Marquez Valdes-Scantling for the No. 3 receiver spot on the Packers' depth chart. That does give him a small bit of intrigue for those looking for deep sleepers Week 16, as the Packers will square off against a Jets defense that has been routinely beaten by opposing wide receivers all season. With just three receptions for 19 yards over the last three weeks, there is not a lot in St. Brown's favor outside the boost in playing time, but he could see even more action if fellow wideout Randall Cobb, who was injured Sunday, does not clear the concussion protocol this week.
