Westbrook-Ikhine recorded two catches (on three targets) for nine yards in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Bengals.

Westbrook-Ikhine remained relatively uninvolved in the Tennessee offense for the second straight week, and he now has only five targets combined across his last two games. He's still maintained a near full-time snap rate, so a bounceback is possible. However, Westbrook-Ikhine is also likely to be held back by quarterback play, regardless of whether Mason Rudolph or Will Levis is under center.

Reynolds failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's loss to the Jets.

The 29-year-old made his debut for the Jaguars after being claimed off waivers Dec. 4, but he didn't see much action in the passing game while working as the No. 4 wideout. Reynolds' role isn't likely to change much down the stretch if Brian Thomas, Parker Washington and Devin Duvernay remain healthy.

Duvernay caught three of four targets for 42 yards, returned two kickoffs for 63 yards and returned two punts for 12 yards during Sunday's loss to the Jets.

Josh Reynolds made his Jacksonville debut but garnered just one target on 27 offensive snaps as Duvernay retained his role has the team's No. 3 wide receiver. The return man has been more involved in the offense of late with eight catches for 73 yards over the past three weeks, but he doesn't have much fantasy utility.

Washington caught three of six targets for 54 yards during Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets.

The 2023 sixth-round pick was second among Jacksonville's wideouts with an 86 percent snap share and finished third on the team in targets and receiving yards. Quarterback Mac Jones attempted 46 passes on the day, but Brian Thomas and Brenton Strange combined for 26 of those targets. Washington should continue to operate as Jacksonville's No. 2 wide receiver, and he's been moderately involved in the passing game over the past three weeks with 11 receptions for 172 yards and a touchdown.

The Ravens lifted Johnson's suspension Monday.

Johnson was suspended for Week 15 due to conduct detrimental to the team, and while the ban has officially ended, the Ravens announced earlier Monday that the wide receiver and the team have mutually agreed to excuse him from team activities this week. It's unclear if Johnson has played his last down with Baltimore, but he had only one catch (on five targets) for six yards in his four appearances for the team.

Bobo caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Packers.

Bobo now has 11 catches for 97 yards through 14 games while averaging 18.5 offensive snaps per contest. Unless an injury occurs above him on the depth chart, Bobo won't have much fantasy value moving forward.

Lockett caught his lone target for 22 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Packers.

Since the Seahawks' Week 10 bye, Lockett has averaged just 15.4 receiving yards per game while failing to find the end zone. Meanwhile, second-year wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been a target hog, tallying a team-high 12 targets in Week 15. It will be tough to depend on Lockett for fantasy purposes moving forward.

Dotson finished with zero receptions on one target in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers.

The game ended a streak of six straight contests in which Dotson recorded exactly one catch. The Eagles' passing game was the primary story surrounding the team during the week, and Jalen Hurts responded with a strong performance, going 25-of-32 for 290 yards and two touchdowns, but as usual, nearly all of his looks went to his top two wideouts. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith each saw double-digit targets, while the rest of the team combined for just eight.

Dowell (knee) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Dowell now has a 21-day window to practice with the team, a timeframe that carries through to the end of the regular season. However, Dowell could be activated beforehand and still see game action before the conclusion of the campaign. The UT Martin product suffered a torn ACL in December of last year and has been out of action since, so it may take him some time to get back up to speed.

Brooks caught his only target for a 17-yard touchdown in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

The second-year wideout hauled in his first career TD in the third quarter, beating two defenders to the ball in the back corner of the end zone as Cooper Rush scrambled out of the pocket. Brooks has seen little usage this season and has even been a healthy inactive at times, and he's unlikely to break out with CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert all healthy. Brooks will be little more than a desperation dart throw Week 16, even against a shaky Buccaneers secondary.
