Allen suffered a hip pointer during Thursday's win over the Chiefs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Per the report, Allen's hip issue doesn't entail any structural damage and is not viewed as a long-term issue. His status for the team's Dec. 22 game against the Ravens will need to be monitored, but the Chargers' current short week gives their top wideout some extra healing time in advance of Week 16 preparations.

Shepard will serve as the Giants' No. 1 wide receiver Sunday against the Titans in the absence of Odell Beckham (quadriceps), Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.

After Beckham was ruled out Week 14 at Washington, Shepard led Giants wideouts with 43 (of 64) offensive snaps, which was followed by Corey Coleman's 42, Russell Shepard's 26, Benny Fowler's 26 and Jawill Davis' 26. While Shepard hauled in just two of six targets for 17 yards, one of his three looks in the red zone resulted in a touchdown. He'll attempt to do more Sunday against a Tennessee defense that has given up the sixth-most TDs (17) to wide receivers this season.

Goodwin (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Goodwin and Dante Pettis (foot) followed the same pattern as mid-week additions to the injury report, both logging limited practices Thursday and Friday. While there hasn't been any suggestion either injury is serious, the 49ers' inactive list will require close monitoring in the lead up to Sunday's 4:05 PM ET kickoff, especially with RB Matt Breida (ankle) also listed as questionable. Kendrick Bourne, Richie James and Trent Taylor would all be candidates for larger roles if Goodwin and/or Pettis can't play.

Pettis (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Pettis and Marquise Goodwin (calf) were both mid-week additions to the injury report, logging limited practices Thursday and Friday after full sessions Wednesday. While there's been no report of either injury being serious, the situation may need to be monitored leading up to Sunday's 4:05 PM ET kickoff. Kendrick Bourne, Trent Taylor and Richie James are the healthy wide receivers on the 49ers' roster.

Carter is in line for an increase in snaps after Keke Coutee (hamstring) was downgraded from questionable to out for Saturday's road game against the Jets, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Outside of a six-catch performance Week 13 against the Browns, Carter hasn't been targeted more than once in a single game this season. On a positive note, he's hauled in all 10 of his career targets between Houston and Philadelphia, so he could take advantage of the void behind DeAndre Hopkins and Demaryius Thomas this weekend.

Cobbs was signed by the Saints from the Redskins' practice squad Friday, Nick Underhill of The New Orleans Advocate reports.

Cobbs was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Redskins in April and found a spot on their practice squad in September. The rookie caught 72 passes for 841 yards last season as a junior at Indiana. Cobbs also caught seven passes for 109 yards and a touchdown this past preseason.

Robinson (hip) was a full practice participant Friday, but he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Robinson made progress each day this week, missing practice Wednesday and logging a limited session Thursday. Although he doesn't seem to be in much actual danger of sitting out Sunday's contest, cautious fantasy owners may want to check back when the Bears release their inactive list at approximately 11:30 AM ET on Sunday. Robinson hauled in four of seven targets for 61 yards in a Week 1 matchup with the Packers, landing awfully close to his per-game averages for the season (4.2 catches for 56 yards on 7.2 targets). Coach Matt Nagy said Friday that he expects Robinson to play in Sunday's game.

Robinson notched two catches for seven yards and a touchdown on three targets Thursday versus the Chargers.

While Robinson didn't see anywhere near the seven targets he received last week against the Ravens, he made the most of it by reaching the end zone for just the second time this season. His added involvement last week may have been an anomaly, given his dip to 36 offensive snaps in Thursday's affair. Robinson could remain involved as the campaign concludes, however, with Sammy Watkins (foot) potentially done for the regular season.

Parker (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings after practicing fully Friday.

Parker, who caught one of his four targets for 18 yards in Week 14's 34-33 win over the Patriots, will be out there if you need him Sunday, but he's been a hit-or-miss fantasy option all season long, so he'd be a speculative lineup roll Week 15.

Chark (quadriceps) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Redskins, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL reports.

Chark still has yet to practice since the quad issue cropped up Week 11 against the Steelers and will miss his fourth straight game. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but given the extended absence there's no guarantee the rookie second-round pick sees the field again this season. Keelan Cole should continue to serve as the Jaguars' No. 3 wide receiver in his absence.
