Duvernay caught two of five targets for 14 yards Sunday against the Browns and added a three-yard carry.

Baltimore stuck with the passing game despite Lamar Jackson leaving the game with injury, but Duvernay still did not make a major impact on the box score. He played 68 percent of the offensive snaps, which marked his highest percentage since Week 5 and drew his second-highest target count of the year. Duvernay appears to have a locked-in role in terms of playing time, but he has yet to convert those snaps into consistent receiving production.

Coach Kliff Kingbury disclosed Tuesday that Hopkins is undergoing an MRI for a leg injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Hopkins missed time earlier in the season for a hamstring injury, but Kingsbury was unwilling to disclose any more information about why this latest scan was done. Hopkins missing additional time would be a huge hit to the Cardinals receiving corps as they continue their pursuit of the top seed in the NFC. A.J. Green, Christian Kirk and rookie Rondale Moore would all figure to see added looks should Hopkins wind up missing any more time.

Schwartz is still in concussion protocols Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Schwartz has been in protocols since suffering a concussion in Week 10 against the Patriots. His potential absence Saturday against the Raiders is magnified by the additions of Jarvis Landry and JoJo Natson to the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday. If Schwartz can clear protocols in time and is deemed fit enough to play, he could be looking at ample opportunity in Week 15 against Las Vegas.

Beckham was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday after the wide receiver tested positive for the virus, Josina Anderson of USA Today reports.

Beckham is coming off a third straight productive outing in which he hauled in six of seven targets for 77 yards and one touchdown during Monday's win at Arizona. Just one day later, though, the Rams have been placed in intensive protocols and will work virtually the next two days as they determine the extent of their COVID-19 outbreak. As coach Sean McVay told Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, all the players about to land on the reserve list are vaccinated, so Beckham does have a chance to play Week 15 if he's asymptomatic and is able to log two negative tests at least 24 hours apart ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Sims caught three of four targets for 69 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Terry McLaurin (concussion) only played 33 offensive snaps, which opened the door for Sims to notch season-highs in both receptions and yards. The majority of the 6-foot-5 wideout's production came on a spectacular, 43-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter. Despite Sims' big play, Adam Humphries appeared to be the more consistent go-to guy with McLaurin out, as he led the team in both targets (seven) and receptions (four). If McLaurin is sidelined in Week 15, Sims, Humphries and DeAndre Carter are all candidates for increased snaps against the Eagles on Sunday.

Carter caught two of his five targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Cowboys.

After a four-game stretch that saw Carter catch 12 of 20 targets for 171 yards and three touchdowns, the speedy wideout has only caught three passes for 18 yards over his last two games. The good news is that Carter saw five targets Sunday, his fifth game with at least five targets this season. However, the overall production wasn't there, as Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen both struggled to complete passes against Dallas' improved secondary. With Terry McLaurin in concussion protocols, Carter may be operating as the No. 1 wideout against the Eagles in Week 15.

Winfree was signed to the Packers' active roster Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Winfree has appeared in three games for the Packers this season, recording four catches on six targets for 30 yards, all of which occurred in a Week 8 win over the Cardinals. With Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) and Malik Taylor (abdomen) both uncertain for Sunday against the Ravens, Winfree should help provide depth in the Packers' wide receiver ranks.

Patrick secured two of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.

Patrick has done little over the past four games in the Broncos underwhelming passing attack, averaging two catches and roughly 17 yards over that stretch. It will be very difficult to rely on him in the fantasy playoffs, even in deep leagues, as the Denver passing offense continues to underwhelm. Patrick and the Broncos get a matchup against the Bengals in Week 15.

Sutton caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.

Anyone hoping for a bounce-back performance from Sutton in a favorable matchup against the Lions will be forced to wait another week. The wideout's one-catch performance Sunday was his latest in a string of disappointing fantasy days. In fact, since Jerry Jeudy's return in Week 8, Sutton is averaging roughly 19 receiving yards per game and has failed to have more than two catches in any of the last six contests. The 26-year-old is proving to be extremely hard to trust with the fantasy playoffs ahead. Sutton's next three matchups against the Bengals, Raiders and Chargers make for a tough schedule down the stretch, so fantasy managers may want to look elsewhere.

Guyton caught all three of his targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in a 37-21 win over the Giants on Sunday.

After a disappointing start to the season in which the wideout did not record a touchdown through 12 weeks, Guyton has had back-to-back strong games with at least 87-plus yards and a touchdown. The 24-year-old has shined as the Chargers' deep-threat option, catching a 59-yard touchdown pass and a 44-yard touchdown pass over the past two weeks. The wideout's deep-ball ability has opened up a lot of offensive production underneath as defenses have now started to worry about the long pass. In the absence of star wide receiver Keenan Allen (COVID-19), Guyton, along with rookie Joshua Palmer, have stepped up to keep Los Angeles' high-powered offense going.
