  • Tez Johnson WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Tez Johnson: Five touches, TD in big loss

    Johnson brought in three of four targets for 21 yards and a touchdown while adding two rushes for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 34-7 loss to the Rams on Sunday night.

    Johnson logged a hefty 86 percent snap share (60 snaps), just three fewer than Emeka Egbuka, but he put together a modest performance overall in a game Baker Mayfield exited early with a shoulder injury. Johnson still found his way to his fifth career touchdown grab on a 14-yard reception with just over five minutes remaining in the first half. Johnson has multiple catches in four of the last five contests, and it was encouraging to see him retain a robust role even during the return of Chris Godwin (fibula). Johnson could cede some snaps to Godwin in a Week 13 home matchup against the Cardinals as Godwin continues to ease back in, but the rookie should still slot in as no worse than the No. 3 receiver while working with either Mayfield or Teddy Bridgewater as his quarterback.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Three catches in Week 12 loss

    Legette brought in three of five targets for 22 yards in the Panthers' 20-9 loss to the 49ers on Monday night.

    Legette tied with Jalen Coker for second in receptions on the Panthers for the night, although that equated to very modest yardage during what was an uninspiring performance for Bryce Young. Legette was coming off his second-highest receiving yardage total (83) of the season in Week 11 against the Falcons, so Monday night's downturn was particularly glaring. Legette next faces a talented Rams secondary in a Week 13 home matchup Sunday.

  • Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Scores team's only TD in loss

    McMillan brought in two of seven targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 20-9 loss to the 49ers on Monday night.

    McMillan finished just a yard behind Rico Dowdle for the team lead in receiving yards, and although that came on a modest total, it was an acceptable number when factoring in Bryce Young threw for just 169 yards on the night. McMillan also recorded his third touchdown grab over the last two games on a 29-yard reception late in the third quarter, rounding out his fantasy production nicely. McMillan will aim for a boost in production in a Week 13 home matchup against the red-hot Rams, although that also lines up as a daunting challenge for the inconsistent Young.

  • Mason Tipton WR | NO

    Saints' Mason Tipton: Logs three catches Week 12

    Tipton recorded three receptions (on four targets) for 22 yards during Sunday's 24-10 loss versus the Falcons.

    Tipton logged season highs across the board, recording twice as many targets as he did over his nine appearances. The Saints sent away No. 2 wideout Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline before waiving veteran Brandin Cooks on Saturday. This moved Tipton to the WR3 spot behind Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele, as these two logged 13 and seven targets, respectively. The Saints' struggling passing offense probably cannot support consistent production for a No. 3 wideout, so Tipton's fantasy value will still be extremely limited. The second-year wideout will likely see similar usage in New Orleans' Week 13 matchup against Miami on Sunday.

  • Dalen Cambre WR | NYG

    Dalen Cambre: Returns to practice squad

    Cambre reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Cambre was elevated to the active roster for the second straight game, failing to record any stats while playing one snap on offense and 14 snaps with the special-teams unit in Sunday's 34-27 overtime loss to the Lions. The wide receiver ranked fifth at his position in offensive snaps, finishing behind Wan'Dale Robinson (68), Isaiah Hodgins (54), Darius Slayton (52) and Gunner Olszewski (eight), while Jalin Hyatt was active but didn't play. Cambre can still be elevated one more time before the Giants would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

  • Dante Pettis WR | NO

    Saints' Dante Pettis: Back with practice squad

    Pettis reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Pettis was elevated again in Week 12, catching his only target for 14 yards while logging six offensive snaps in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Falcons. The wide receiver finished fifth at his position in offensive snaps behind Devaughn Vele (71), Chris Olave (64), Mason Tipton (56) and Kevin Austin (10). Pettis also registered 10 yards on three punt returns and returned two kickoffs for 48 yards while playing 10 snaps on special teams. Pettis can still be elevated one more time before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

  • Brennan Presley: Back with practice squad

    Presley reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Presley was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday night's 34-7 win over the Buccaneers, failing to record any stats while playing four snaps on special teams. With fellow wideout Xavier Smith (concussion) uncertain for Week 13, it's possible that Presley will be elevated again before the team squares off with the Panthers on the road.

  • Dylan Drummond WR | ATL

    Falcons' Dylan Drummond: Reverts to practice squad

    Drummond reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Drummond was elevated from Atlanta's practice squad Saturday and played 15 offensive snaps during the Falcons' 24-10 win over the Saints on Sunday. He finished that game with three catches on as many targets for 18 yards and returned the opening kickoff for 25 yards. Drummond has been elevated from the practice squad a maximum of three times this season, so he'll have to be signed to Atlanta's active roster in order to continue to play for the Falcons this season. That is a real possibility, given that Drake London (knee) is considered week-to-week due to a PCL sprain.

  • Titans' Xavier Restrepo: Two catches in NFL debut

    Restrepo recorded two catches on six targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Seahawks.

    Restrepo was elevated from the practice squad to make his NFL debut with Calvin Ridley (IR, fibula) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) sidelined. He only played 18 offensive snaps (26 percent), though he was targeted heavily by Cam Ward when on the field. Restrepo wasn't efficient with the opportunity, but he will likely continue to get chances down the stretch in a rebuilding season for Tennessee. For the time being, he'll likely revert to the Titans' practice squad Monday.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: No timeline for return, per Gannon

    Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Harrison (appendix) doesn't have a timetable for a return to action, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports. "When he's physically and mentally healthy to play, he'll play," Gannon noted.

    Harrison has missed the last two games after undergoing an appendectomy between Weeks 10 and 11, a span in which fellow WR Michael Wilson has broken out with a 25-303-0 line on 33 targets and even Greg Dortch has produced a 12-119-2 line on 15 targets. As for Harrison, he's in the midst of a multi-week recovery, and Gannon's comments seem to indicate the second-year pro isn't a candidate to retake the field Sunday at Tampa Bay.
