Gage brought in both targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 35-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 14.

Gage was responsible for the Bucs' only reason to celebrate on the afternoon, making a literal shoestring scoring grab on a ball that caromed off both teammate Chris Godwin and the 49ers' Fred Warner at the goal line, just barely managing to break the plane, as confirmed by instant replay review. The modest numbers overall were par for the course in a disappointing, injury-riddled first season in Tampa Bay for Gage, however, as he'll carry a 32-254-2 line and tallies of 39 receiving yards or less in six consecutive contests into a Week 15 home interconference matchup against the Bengals.

Beasley is expected to end his retirement Tuesday and sign with the Bills' practice squad, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

The 33-year-old announced his retirement in October after a brief stint with the Buccaneers in which he suited up for two games and caught four of five targets for 17 yards. After the Bills came away from their recent meeting with free agent Odell Beckham (knee) without signing him, the organization will turn to a more familiar veteran receiver to fill out the position group. Given that he spent the 2019 through 2021 seasons in Buffalo under head coach Sean McDermott and with quarterback Josh Allen directing the offense, Beasley shouldn't need much time to gain familiarity with the offensive play calls. According to Garafolo, Beasley is expected to be elevated to the 53-man roster in short order, most likely ahead of Saturday's game against the Dolphins.

Anderson gathered in all four targets for 50 yards during Monday's 27-13 defeat to the Patriots.

Since Carolina dealt him to Arizona in October, Anderson has been an afterthought in the Cardinals offense, combining for two catches (on 10 targets) for 13 yards and no touchdowns in his first six appearances with the team. His uptick in production Monday may stem from familiarity at practice with backup quarterback Colt McCoy, who replaced Kyler Murray (knee) after the third offensive snap of the game. If Murray's injury ends up being season-ending, Anderson could be a factor operating with McCoy for the last four contests of the campaign.

Agholor secured five of 10 targets for 32 yards in the Patriots' 27-13 win over the Cardinals on Monday night.

Agholor tied for the team lead in receptions with Kendrick Bourne while comfortably setting the pace in targets with a total that qualified as a season high. The early exit of DeVante Parker with a head injury and the absence of Jakobi Meyers (concussion) certainly played a part in the busy night, but it's nevertheless encouraging the veteran speedster now has six- and five-catch tallies in two of his last three contests. Agholor could be heavily involved again in a favorable Week 15 matchup versus his old Raiders squad if either or both of his teammates is sidelined for that contest.

Brown secured four of eight targets for 34 yards in the Cardinals' 27-13 loss to the Patriots on Monday night.

Brown's numbers were naturally affected by the fact Kyler Murray exited the game on the third play of the game with what appears to be a serious knee injury. The speedster's ideal route tree lends itself much better to Murray than veteran quarterback Colt McCoy, who tends to frequently operate in the short and mid-range areas of the field. Brown's catch and yardage totals were his lowest since Week 1, but he'll aim to bounce back irrespective of who's under center in a Week 15 road matchup against the Broncos.

Hopkins brought in seven of 11 targets for 79 yards and lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown in the Cardinals' 27-13 loss to the Patriots on Monday night.

Hopkins recorded all his numbers in conjunction with veteran quarterback Colt McCoy, who was called on after Kyler Murray suffered what appeared to be a serious knee injury on the Cardinals' third play of the game. Hopkins' lost fumble was returned 23 yards for a touchdown late in the third quarter by Raekwon McMillan to snap a 13-13 tie, but his reception, yardage and target totals were all team-high figures on the night. With double-digit looks in five of his first seven games of the season, there's little doubt the star wideout will remain an integral part of the air attack irrespective of who's under center.

Parker (head) won't return to Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Parker will finish the night with two catches for 24 yards. The Patriots will have to make do with a depleted receiving corps for the remainder of Monday's game, as No. 1 option Jakobi Meyers currently is sidelined by a concussion. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) also got hurt Monday, and while he was able to return, he eventually left the contest for good.

Parker (head) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Parker was wobbly after making a 10-yard catch in the first quarter. The ball came out as he was going to the ground, so the Cardinals challenged, but the referees chose not to add insult to injury, so the questionable catch stood and gave Parker two receptions for 24 yards prior to his exit.

Conley recorded one catch on one target for 27 yards in Sunday's 36-22 loss to Jacksonville.

Conley has bounced around Tennessee's roster for much of the season but was active in the absence of Treylon Burks (concussion). He finished third among the team's receiving corps with 32 offensive snaps, but he still managed only one target. Conley's role will shrink further once Burks is able to return to the field.

McMath saw four targets but failed to record a catch in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Jaguars.

McMath made his season debut after spending the entire campaign on injured reserve with a hip injury. He saw the majority of his opportunity late in the game as the Titans were forced to abandon the run while playing from two scores down. McMath isn't likely to see a significant role in the Tennessee offense, particularly once Treylon Burks (concussion) is able to return.
