Jason Croom catches 25-yard pass in Week 15 win.

It was his only reception of the game. Croom won’t be a recommended fantasy option over the final two weeks of the year.

JuJu Smith-Schuster (groin) was officially limited in today’s practice.

Smith-Schuster wasn’t on the injury report yesterday. This is probably just something minor, and being a limited participant as opposed to a non-participant probably indicates his Week 16 status isn’t in much danger. We’ll see if he’s listed on the final injury report when it’s released tomorrow.

Robert Foster scores game-winning touchdown in win over the Lions.

Foster caught four passes for 108 yards, including a 42-yard score in the fourth quarter of a 14-13 victory. It was the fourth time over the past five games that Foster has gone for 94+ yards, and he has three 100-yard games over that span. The floor is low, but the rookie out of Alabama deserves consideration in all formats as a big-play FLEX option that is averaging 24.6 yards per reception.

James Conner (ankle) officially remains out of practice.

Conner isn’t likely to play this Sunday against the Saints, and there’s a chance he’s ruled out ahead of the weekend when the final Week 16 injury report is released tomorrow. Expect Jaylen Samuels to again lead Pittsburgh’s backfield in fantasy championship weeks.

Doug Martin gets nine carries against the Bengals.

Martin gained 39 yards on his nine attempts against Cincinnati. With an injured interior offensive line, it seems the Raiders didn’t trust being able to push for positive yardage up front, instead throwing 38 passes, so it was tough for Martin to take advantage of what was a good fantasy matchup on paper. Martin will look to get a heavier workload on Christmas Eve against the Broncos, and he’ll remain in the FLEX mix in fantasy title matchups.

DeSean Jackson (thumb) was officially a full participant in today’s practice.

We’ll update you if Jackson ends up listed on the final Week 16 injury report when it’s released sometime tomorrow, but it looks like he’s going to return to the field this Sunday against Dallas. Jackson said he was hopeful to play, a full practice indicates he’s good to go. The veteran receiver isn’t a highly-recommended FLEX option with fantasy titles on the line, but he’ll offer some upside as usual thanks to his big-play ability.

Isaiah McKenzie caught six passes for 53 yards in Sunday’s win over the Lions.

He also rushed once for four yards. McKenzie has emerged as Buffalo’s slot receiver this month, showing a good connection with Josh Allen. The former fifth-round pick of the Broncos is worth considering in deeper PPR leagues next week against the Patriots.
