Williams secured all three of his targets for 24 yards during Saturday's 34-17 loss to Baltimore.

Williams continued to see a slightly increased role Saturday since George Pickens (hamstring) was sidelined for a third consecutive game. Williams has racked up double-digit receiving yards in each of the last three matchups, securing seven of nine targets for 75 yards during that time. His fantasy value remains limited, and his role could decrease next week since head coach Mike Tomlin has said that Pickens has a "real chance" to play against Kansas City.

Allen secured nine of 13 targets for 141 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Allen led the Bears across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets while tying his season best in catches and setting a new high-water mark in yardage. The veteran wideout also scored his fifth touchdown in the last five games on a perfectly timed throw-and-catch sequence between him and Caleb Williams that covered 45 yards late in the second quarter. Allen now has at least five receptions and 73 receiving yards in four of the last five games, his most productive stretch of the season as a Week 17 home matchup against the Seahawks awaits Thursday night.

Jefferson secured two of three targets for 27 yards during Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens.

Even though the Steelers were without George Pickens (hamstring) for a third consecutive game Saturday, Jefferson was unable to make a significant impact. Head coach Mike Tomlin said Sunday that Pickens has a "real chance" to return to action against Kansas City on Wednesday, so Jefferson seems unlikely to have a sizable role in Week 17.

Agholor (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Sunday's practice estimate.

The Ravens played the Steelers on Saturday, with the team holding a late-afternoon walkthrough one day later. Agholor was inactive versus Pittsburgh due to his concussion, and it remains to be seen if he'll gain clearance for Wednesday's contest against the Texans. Look for added context on that front to arrive via Monday and Tuesday's practice reports.

St. Brown caught six of eight targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Bears.

St. Brown accounted for only 44 of Jared Goff's 254 first-half passing yards but that total included an eight-yard touchdown catch in the final minute of the first half. The star wide receiver ultimately led the Lions in both targets and catches, though Jameson Williams ran away with the team lead in receiving yards (143). St. Brown set a new career high with his 11th receiving touchdown of the season, and he'll look to add to that total in Week 17 against the 49ers.

Williams caught five of seven targets for 143 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Bears. He also rushed once for seven yards.

Williams blew by the defense for an 82-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter, which helped him set a new single-game career high in receiving yards. The speedster has surpassed 120 yards with a touchdown three times this season, and Williams takes a budding two-game touchdown streak into Week 17 against the 49ers. He's up to 47 catches for 890 yards and six touchdowns, all career highs.

Chase secured six of eight targets for 97 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for seven yards in the Bengals' 24-6 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Chase set the pace in receiving yards for the Bengals on the afternoon while checking in second in both receptions and targets. The ultra-talented receiver has exceeded 85 receiving yards in four consecutive games, while his 32-yard scoring grab in the fourth quarter pushed his touchdown total to nine over his last six games. Chase now has a career-best 1,510 receiving yards heading into a Week 17 home matchup against the Broncos on Saturday afternoon.

Pickens (hamstring) was listed as limited on Sunday's practice estimate, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

The Steelers faced the Ravens on Saturday, so while the team didn't actually practice Sunday, Pickens' limited listing is notable nonetheless, considering he didn't practice leading up to Week 16 action. The wideout has missed the Steelers' last three games, but head coach Mike Tomlin noted earlier Sunday that Pickens is among the team's injured players who has a "real chance" to play against the Chiefs on Wednesday.

Coach Raheem Morris said London could have re-entered Sunday's 34-7 win against the Giants after suffering a hamstring injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

The Falcons had the game well in hand at the time London exited early in the fourth quarter, so the team seemingly exercised caution with its top wide receiver. He finished Week 16 action with five catches on eight targets for 59 yards while working with QB Michael Penix for the first time. With a matchup versus the Commanders next Sunday, London's health could receive some clarity when Atlanta posts its first injury report of the week Wednesday.

Flowers (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Sunday's practice estimate.

The Ravens played Saturday, with the team holding a late-afternoon walk-through one day later. In the team's win over the Steelers, Flowers caught five of eight targets for 100 yards, while logging an 87 percent snap share. Given his listing on Sunday's practice estimate, however, the wideout's status is now worth monitoring as Wednesday's contest against the Texans approaches.
