Carolina Panthers wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette (illness) returned to practice on Thursday after an illness kept him sidelined on Wednesday. Rarely ever on the field, he has seen an uptick in his snap share in recent weeks but still has a season-high of 34% that came in Week 16. With Jonathan Mingo (foot) now on injured reserve, Smith-Marsette may see more work in Week 18 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs have given up the most pass yards this season, but in Week 13 still were able to hold quarterback Bryce Young to just 178 yards through the air. Smith-Marsette does not need to be anywhere near fantasy rosters in Week 18.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo failed to deliver as a popular streaming option last week against the Houston Texans. Despite the favorable matchup, he caught just three passes for 34 yards. In the Week 18 season finale, he'll face the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are a middle-of-the-pack defense against fantasy tight ends. Ultimately, Tennessee's passing offense is tough to trust whether Ryan Tannehill or Will Levis (foot) is under center, so Okonkwo is not worth rolling the dice on in fantasy leagues or DFS contests.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (foot) was able to log a full practice session after being limited by a foot injury on Wednesday. With Jonathan Mingo (foot) now on injured reserve, a healthy Chark would operate as a clear number two behind Adam Thielen against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers soft pass defense in Week 18. When the teams last squared off in Week 13, Chark came up with three catches on four targets for 53 yards. Even in a plus matchup, it will be hard to trust Chark to produce fantasy-relevant numbers, given that Carolina's offense has generated the fewest yards per game and second-fewest points per game in the league.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has hauled in nine of his 12 targets for 56 yards over the last two weeks. Those games were played mostly by Ryan Tannehill, who could start in place of the injured Will Levis (foot) in the team's season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Although Spears is far from a sure thing in fantasy football, he's earned over a 23% target share since Week 16. This makes him a low-end flex consideration in deep PPR leagues. His upside is limited, so he's not worth consideration in DFS GPP tournaments.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks has hauled in just 16 of his 30 targets for 221 yards and no touchdowns in 10 games this season. He has continued to disappoint throughout his sophomore season, keeping him firmly off the fantasy radar against the Jacksonville Jaguars -- even in deep leagues. The Titans are in rebuild mode, so look for the team to add target competition behind DeAndre Hopkins next season. Burks has a bleak future outlook, but since he was a former first-round pick, he'll have at least a minuscule amount of fantasy intrigue next year.
