Thielen is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Seahawks with an ankle injury.

Thielen has been held in check for a vast majority of Monday's contest, hauling in only three of five targets for 23 yards and adding one rush for eight yards. The stud wideout appeared to have his ankle rolled up on by Shaquill Griffin on a pass breakup in the fourth quarter. Laquon Treadwell would be in for a larger role if Thielen is forced to miss the rest of the game.

Sherfield reeled in five of his seven targets for 77 yards during Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Lions.

An undrafted rookie, Sherfield took full advantage of the void left behind by Christian Kirk (foot), posting career highs across the board. Prior to Sunday's outburst, Sherfield had worked his way into a regular gig, earning between 37 and 54 percent of the offensive snaps in the previous four games. That number increased substantially to nearly 93 percent Week 14, which pushed him to second among Cardinals receivers behind Larry Fitzgerald (96 percent) and well ahead of J.J. Nelson (69) and Jalen Tolliver (12). Sherfield will attempt to keep his name in the spotlight Sunday in Atlanta, whose defense has given up 8.5 YPT and 19 touchdowns to wide receivers in 13 games this season.

Hill (heel/wrist) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's injury report.

Hill left the field multiple times during Sunday's 27-24 win against the Ravens, with the issues identified as heel and wrist injuries. Despite the limitations, he tallied eight catches (on 14 targets) for 139 yards and one carry for six yards. Upon an examination, Hill's issues aren't "serious," and he'll be deemed "day-to-day," according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. On Monday, coach Andy Reid offered a positive spin on Hill, telling Adam Teicher of ESPN.com that he believes the wide receiver will suit up Thursday against the Chargers. With just three days between games, it's no surprise Hill is kicking off Week 15 prep with a DNP next to his name, but ideally he'll fit in some activity Tuesday or Wednesday to provide confidence that active status is to be expected.

Perriman caught both of his targets for a team-leading 81 yards during Sunday's 26-20 win over Carolina.

Cleveland's first play on offense went for a 66-yard gain, as Baker Mayfield connected with Perriman on a deep pass down the left sideline. Perriman was able to break away from his defender and Mayfield delivered a perfect pass that would've been a touchdown had the receiver not fallen down just short of the goal line. The former Raven was on the field for just 19 offensive snaps, and though he doesn't figure to see much more involvement going forward, he still managed to show he's capable of making the big play.

Smith played just two snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Browns.

Smith overcame his knee injury to be active Sunday, but he still hardly got to see the field. While his role has shrunk over the course of the campaign, as evidenced by three straight games without a catch, the extra day before Week 15's Monday night meeting against the Saints could do the veteran's knee some good.

Conley notched two grabs for 13 yards on three targets Sunday against the Ravens.

Even with Sammy Watkins (foot) sidelined and Conley seeing all but one offensive snap, the fourth-year wideout was rarely targeted on the day. It was Demarcus Robinson instead who saw an increase in production Sunday, snagging five passes for 42 yards, leaving little optimism in terms of Conley's outlook moving forward. Still, Watkins could miss the remainder of the regular season and Conley is just a few games removed from a seven-catch, two-touchdown effort against the Rams, so there's a chance he could be utilized as a cheap DFS dart in the right matchup. Next week against a Chargers defense that ranks sixth in the league with 224.8 passing yards per game allowed doesn't seem like that matchup.

Ateman brought in three of four targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Steelers.

Ateman recorded his second catch of 20-plus yards in four games as the rookie continues to become integrated into the Raiders offense. He's still positioned behind the trio of Jordy Nelson, Jared Cook and Seth Roberts in the pecking order of Derek Carr's targets, but Ateman was on the field for 75 percent of the team's offensive snaps Sunday. Ateman's 6-foot-4, 220-pound frame could entice Carr to look his way in the red zone against the Bengals on Sunday.

Floyd was held without a catch on two targets in Sunday's 40-16 loss to the Giants.

Floyd played 31 of 62 snaps (50 percent) on offense, finishing fourth among Washington wide receivers. He could get a few more chances if Josh Doctson (concussion) misses time, but a Week 15 contest at Jacksonville doesn't provide much cause for optimism, nor does the Redskins' quarterback situation with Josh Johnson expected to start.

Wilson brought in his only target for eight yards and returned two kickoffs for 44 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-14 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Wilson logged his first offensive touch of the season and was also solid on his pair of kickoff runbacks. The FSU product already equaled his reception total from last season with Sunday's modest tally, but he may not achieve active status once DeSean Jackson (thumb) is able to return to action.

Hill (foot) is considered day-to-day after an examination failed to reveal any serious issues, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hill was clearly in pain on multiple occasions during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Ravens, but he also looked like his usual self for much of the game, ultimately catching eight of 14 targets for 139 yards despite logging a snap share (79 percent) well below his accustomed range in the 90s. It remains to be seen how the Chiefs list him on Monday's estimated practice report ahead of a crucial Thursday game against the Chargers. The encouraging exam results would seem to give Hill a good chance to play.
