Gage brought in his only target for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.

Making his first appearance since Week 7, Gage unsurprisingly filled a low-volume role as the No. 4 receiver. He had recorded multiple receptions in each of his first seven games of the campaign prior to being sidelined, but with Julio Jones now healthy and slotting into the No. 3 role, Gage's already modest value is capped unless injuries again strike Tampa Bay's WR depth chart.

Evans brought in all four targets for 59 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.

Evans checked in third in receptions and second in receiving yards for the Bucs, and he was outpaced in targets by five teammates. However, the veteran wideout still played a critical role in a miraculous comeback victory, drawing a 44-yard defensive pass interference penalty on Paulson Adebo that took the ball down to the Saints' one-yard line and set up a touchdown grab by Cade Otton on the next play with three minutes remaining. Evans' overall numbers disappointed from a fantasy perspective however, and he hasn't exceeded Monday night's yardage total or had more than five receptions in any of his last four contests. Evans will aim to boost his production back up versus the 49ers in Week 14.

Godwin brought in eight of 13 targets for 63 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.

Godwin paced the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, serving as the workhorse of the pass-catching crew yet again. The veteran wideout recorded his final three catches on Tampa Bay's last two drives, and he actually had a five-yard touchdown grab with 19 seconds remaining erased by a holding call on Donovan Smith. Godwin now has six double-digit target tallies in the last seven games, and he should be in line for another very busy afternoon against a talented but beatable 49ers secondary in a Week 14 road matchup.

Erickson reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Erickson served as the team's punt returner with Dax Milne (foot) out against the Giants on Sunday, gaining 26 yards on four returns. With Washington now on a bye week and Milne therefore getting extra time to recover, it's unclear whether Erickson will need to be called upon again Week 15 in a rematch with the Giants.

Treadwell reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Treadwell saw 18 snaps on offense for Seattle in their win over the Rams on Sunday. He caught his only target for one yard while chipping in on special teams. He'll work to earn another elevation for Week 14 against the Panthers.

Powell reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Powell was elevated to serve as the team's fifth receiver against the Bengals, as Kadarius Toney remained out with a hamstring injury. The former played five snaps on special teams, but he failed to tally any stats. If Toney remains out Week 14 against the Broncos, Powell may find himself with another opportunity on the active roster.

Perriman (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive for Monday's game against the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Perriman caught just two of four targets while playing 51 offensive snaps with Russell Gage (hamstring) sidelined for the last four games. With Gage back in action Week 13, it appears Perriman has found himself as the odd man out in Tampa Bay's wide receiver depth chart. His next chance to play will come against the 49ers on Sunday, though, barring further injuries to the Buccaneers' other wideouts, he's unlikely to see much usage moving forward.

Gage (hamstring) is active for Monday's game against the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Gage put himself in a position for his first game action since Week 7 by logging a full practice Saturday, but the Buccaneers' receiving corps is as healthy as it's been all season, meaning his snap count may be capped working behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones. More than likely, Gage will be vying with Scotty Miller for reps in multi-WR sets.

Coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Williams (ankle) should take part in practice this week, Bridget Condon of NFL Network reports.

Williams continues to deal with the ankle injury that has limited him to one game since getting hurt back in Week 7. In that one appearance Week 11 against the Chiefs, he aggravated it after six offensive snaps on his only catch, a 15-yarder, along the right sideline and hasn't practiced in the meantime, missing back-to-back contests. The Chargers will reconvene for on-field work Wednesday, at which point the team will reveal whether or not Williams was able to participate in drills.

Reynolds caught three of four targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jaguars.

After seeing just six offensive snaps in last week's return from a back injury, Reynolds logged 79 percent of them a week later while looking like the clear No. 3 receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and DJ Chark. However, Jameson Williams looms in the background and only figures to improve upon the handful of snaps he saw while making his professional debut Sunday. With Reynolds the most likely to lose snaps to the rookie as the year unfolds, it seems unlikely that he can return to his early-season production.
