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

Erickson was elevated to the active roster and served as Washington's primary punt returner with Dax Milne (foot) inactive Sunday versus the Falcons. However, the practice-squad wideout would up with just two fair catches and no punt returns over his three special-teams snaps. Erickson also did not see any work on offense while running back Antonio Gibson handled kick-return duties Week 12. The 30-year-old receiver will now be eligible for two more elevations while with the Commanders' practice squad this season, and he could serve a similar role on special teams if Milne remains sidelined versus the Giants next Sunday.

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

Treadwell was activated by Seattle for the first time since joining the team's practice squad Nov. 1, marking his first action of the 2022 campaign. The 27-year-old did not end up recording any offensive statistics while playing seven of his nine snaps on offense against Las Vegas. Treadwell will now be eligible for two more game-day activations while with the Seahawks in 2022.

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

Powell was activated for the second game in a row with Mecole Hardman (abdomen) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) both sidelined Week 12. However, the practice-squad wideout still served an extremely limited role in the Chiefs' banged-up receiving corps, playing just two of his 10 snaps on offense against the Rams. Powell has yet to record a catch in his NFL career, and he'll be eligible for one more elevation from Kansas City's practice squad this year.

Johnson reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Johnson served as Denver's No. 3 wideout after being elevated from the team's practice squad for the second game in a row. While he played fewer offensive snaps (42) than top receivers Courtland Sutton (56) and Kendall Hinton (55), the 24-year-old Johnson wound up catching the Broncos' lone touchdown on one of his two receptions for 10 yards against Carolina. He will now be eligible for just one more game-day activation before requiring a spot on the active roster to continue playing for Denver this season. Johnson will likely stand to fill a similar role if Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) both remain sidelined against Baltimore in Week 13.

Goodwin caught all three of his targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 40-34 overtime loss to the Raiders.

DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett continue to dominate the passing tree, as the duo combined for 22 targets Sunday. However, Goodwin has been quite efficient with his looks this season, as he has a 76 percent catch rate and 10.6 yards per target through nine games. He has large tournament DFS appeal moving forward, but he'll still be risky in season-long leagues until he gets more opportunities.

Lassiter reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Lassiter was elevated to Cincinnati's game-day roster for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's win over the Titans. However, the 24-year-old wideout did not log a statistic while playing just eight of his team's 70 offensive snaps. Lassiter will now be eligible for two more activations while with the Bengals' practice squad this season.

The Chiefs signed Edwards to their practice squad Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Edwards began the season with Atlanta before he was waived last Thursday. The Raiders drafted the wideout out of South Carolina in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and he enjoyed moderate success in 2021 with 34 catches for 571 yards and three touchdowns over 16 games. Kansas City is dealing with some injuries to its pass-catching corps with Mecole Hardman (abdomen) on IR and Kadarius Toney dealing with a hamstring injury, but it's uncertain whether Edwards will be able to earn an elevation to the active roster.

Boykin (oblique) has been ruled inactive ahead of Monday's game against the Colts.

Boykin was forced out with an oblique injury during last week's loss to the Bengals, and he only logged two limited practices ahead of Monday night's game. The 26-year-old has collected one of his two targets for 11 yards in 2022, though he'll now miss his first game of the season. With Boykin out, Diontae Johnson, George Pickens, Steven Sims, Gunner Olszewski and Cody White will operate as the Steelers' available wideouts Week 12.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that it "would be a tall order" for Williams (knee) to play Sunday against the Jaguars, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Though Campbell hasn't completely closed the door on the possibility of Williams -- who returned to practice last Monday -- being activated from the reserve/non-football injury list ahead of the contest, a potential Week 14 return is a more realistic outcome for the rookie wideout. In the meantime, Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark and Kalif Raymond are in line to continue to lead the Lions' wideout corps, with Josh Reynolds and Tom Kennedy mixing in.

Jennings caught six of seven targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 13-0 win over the Saints.

Jennings scored his first touchdown of the 2022 campaign in unusual fashion Sunday. Jimmy Garoppolo was targeting his tallest wideout in the back corner of the end zone, but Tyrann Mathieu deflected the ball and Jennings was there to catch it as he was falling from his initial leaping attempt. The end result was a strong fantasy line from the 49ers' No. 3 receiver, who was coming off of a catch-less outing against the Cardinals in Week 11. Jennings played his usual allotment of offensive snaps (41 percent), so fantasy managers shouldn't expect a repeat performance against the Dolphins on Sunday.
