Legette caught two of three targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

Sunday's loss marked Legette's eighth game of the season with two or fewer receptions, though he still finished with the second-most receiving yards on the Panthers. The second-year pro has now caught 30 of 56 targets for 326 yards and three touchdowns across 12 appearances this year. Offensive consistency issues in Carolina likely make Legette too risky a fantasy option for a Week 16 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Hopkins caught his lone target for a 32-yard gain Sunday against the Bengals.

The veteran wideout did not get a significant bump in snaps despite Rashod Bateman (ankle) being sidelined. Still, Hopkins made his one target count with a big 32-yard catch-and-run that helped set up a Baltimore touchdown. In all, he played just 13 offensive snaps for the second week in a row. Hopkins and the Ravens host the Patriots on Sunday Night Football in Week 16.

Warren (illness) has been added to the injury report and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Dolphins.

It's possible official word on his status won't arrive until roughly 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Kenneth Gainwell would lead Pittsburgh's backfield if Warren can't suit up, while rookie Kaleb Johnson would bump up into the No. 2 spot. Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Warren woke up sick Monday but is optimistic he'll gain clearance to play.

Mason gained 29 rushing yards on 10 carries during Sunday night's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

Mason played 36 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 15, again working behind Aaron Jones (58 percent), who was also quiet versus Dallas with just 12 carries for 34 yards. While Mason was not targeted a single time, Jones continues to contribute as a pass-catcher, securing all three of his targets for 31 yards. Mason warrants less fantasy consideration than Jones, and neither are necessarily in the mix as more than flex options, but both RBs will face a plus matchup on the road against the Giants in Week 16.

Knight (ankle) is set for an MRI after being carted off the field during Sunday's 40-20 loss to Houston, but he's believed to be dealing with a sprain, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Knight appears to have avoided a severe injury, with league sources telling Schefter that the running back is nursing "a bad sprain," but that could still notably impact his availability for the last three weeks of the regular season. Emari Demercado and Michael Carter will be positioned as Arizona's clear backfield leaders if Knight misses any time, with James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) both already having been lost for the year. Knight's first opportunity to attempt to prove he's healthy enough to play Week 16 against the Falcons will come during Wednesday's practice.

Douglas was on the field for 10 out of a possible 52 snaps on offense in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

Douglas wasn't targeted in Sunday's contest, but he did record one carry for five yards. As long as fellow WRs Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins continue to out-touch and out-snap him, Douglas' fantasy utility will remain modest.

TeSlaa failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.

TeSlaa maintained his edge as the team's No. 3 wide receiver in Week 15, playing 39 offensive snaps to Kalif Raymond's 11, but the rookie went without a catch for the third time in five games. The wideout found the end zone in each of the last two games entering Sunday, both of which were with Raymond sidelined by an ankle injury, but TeSlaa's streak was snapped against Los Angeles. TeSlaa has shown great potential in Detroit's offense during his rookie campaign, but he's been limited to eight catches on 15 targets while scoring four touchdowns over 14 contests.

Hooper logged a season-low 16 out of a possible 52 snaps on offense in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

For the second straight contest, Hooper saw a decrease in snaps and wasn't targeted in New England's passing game. He'll remain off the fantasy lineup radar as long as fellow TE Hunter Henry is healthy and available.

Raymond caught his only target for 20 yards and added 15 yards on a punt return in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.

Raymond was making his return to action after missing two weeks with an ankle injury, and he was only on the field for 11 offensive plays. He was outpaced by rookie wideout Isaac TeSlaa (39) in offensive snaps, though TeSlaa failed to reel in his only target. Raymond has yet to find the end zone through the air this season, and he's now caught 16 of 20 targets for 170 yards over 12 contests this year.

The Packers believe Watson (chest/shoulder) did not suffer a major injury during Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Watson was forced out of Sunday's road loss to Denver and taken to a hospital for evaluation, though he was cleared to join his teammates for the return flight to Green Bay. It's a piece of welcome news for the Packers that Watson seemingly won't endure a long absence, but the explosive wideout now faces a short recovery window leading up to Saturday's key road divisional matchup against the Bears. In the event that Watson isn't able to get healthy in time for Week 16, Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton could see increased roles alongside Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed.
