Thornton (concussion) caught two of three targets for 47 yards before exiting the contest early in the fourth quarter due to a helmet-to-helmet hit during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers.

Thornton played 31 of the Chiefs' 61 offensive snaps in the contest, behind Rashee Rice (52), Xavier Worthy (41) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (32). With Hollywood Brown (personal) inactive, the 25-year-old Thornton saw a 51 percent snap share, his largest since Week 3. His increased role Sunday led to a bump in production, but fantasy managers should monitor his status in the concussion protocol leading up to the Kansas City's Week 16 matchup against the Titans. Even if he clears the protocol, the Baylor product would remain difficult to trust for significant fantasy production against Tennessee, especially with quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) done for the season.

Walker failed to record a single target in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Bengals.

Walker was a complete nonfactor Sunday despite playing a season-high 61 percent snap share. The second-year wideout played 25 of the Ravens' 41 offensive snaps in the contest, the second most snaps among wide receivers behind only Zay Flowers (32). The spike in Walker's playing time came on a day when teammate Rashod Bateman (ankle) was inactive. Even so, the North Carolina product was unable to earn any opportunities against Cincinnati. Walker is not a consideration for fantasy purposes as the Ravens host the Patriots in Week 16.

FitzPatrick caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.

FitzPatrick finished Week 15 with yet another underwhelming performance despite leading all Packers tight ends in offensive snaps and posting season highs in targets, catches and yards. Teammate Luke Musgrave, however, was the better fantasy option, recording four receptions on six targets for 52 yards. Based on his limited production, FitzPatrick should remain far off the fantasy radar as the Packers get set to visit the Bears in Week 16.

Musgrave caught four of six targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.

Musgrave reached season highs in targets, receptions and yards Sunday, as the 25-year-old tight end was a much bigger part of the Packers' offensive attack against the Broncos. With that said, the veteran played 52 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps while fellow tight end John FitzPatrick had a 70 percent snap share. Even with Musgrave's spike in targets over the past two weeks, he remains difficult to trust for significant fantasy production heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Bears.

Jackson (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Jackson was limited in Monday's session due to an ankle issue, but it doesn't appear to be a long-term concern after he was deemed a full participant Tuesday. That puts him on track to start at left tackle in Thursday's NFC West tilt against Seattle.

White (abdomen) was a full participant in Seattle's walkthrough Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

White appears to be healthy again after being limited during Monday's walkthrough due to an abdominal injury. The 27-year-old should continue to contribute on special teams while also seeing limited snaps on offense during Thursday's matchup versus the Rams.

Cross (hamstring) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Cross has been absent from the first two walkthroughs of Week 16 prep due to a hamstring injury he sustained late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts. He would have to practice Wednesday in at least a limited capacity in order to have a realistic chance of playing in Thursday's NFC West tilt against the Rams. Mason Richman and Josh Jones would be the top two candidates to start at left tackle if Cross is unable to play.

McCollough (illness) was estimated as a full participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

McCollough fell ill Saturday and was added to the Rams' injury report as questionable for Sunday's matchup against Detroit. He ended up being able to play in that victory, logging a 65 percent defensive snap share. McCollough was then deemed a non-participant for Monday's walkthrough, but, after being estimated as a full participant one day later, he appears good to go for Thursday's matchup in Seattle.

Lawrence (quadriceps) was a full participant in Seattle's walkthrough Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Lawrence was limited during Monday's walkthrough but is seemingly on track to play in Thursday's matchup versus the Rams. The 33-year-old should continue to serve as one of the Seahawks' starting linebackers against Los Angeles.

Whittington (back) was deemed a full participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Whittington was estimated as limited in Monday's walkthrough, but his back injury doesn't appear to be serious. Notably, starting wideout Davante Adams (knee/hamstring) has been deemed a non-participant in both walkthroughs this week, and he's very much in danger of missing Thursday's matchup against Seattle. If Adams does sit out that contest, Whittington -- along with Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell and Xavier Smith -- would be a candidate for increased offensive snaps.
