Laviska Shenault Jr. WR | BUF
Jaguars' Laviska Shenault: Secures three receptions
Shenault caught three of five targets for 30 yards and carried three times for one yard during Sunday's 37-7 loss to the Rams.
Shenault finished third among Jacksonville's wideouts with a season-low 31 offensive snaps, though he did tie for second on the team in targets. The 2020 second-round pick has seen at least five targets in each of the past four games but has only 16 receptions for 128 yards during that span. Shenault has yet to score a touchdown through 12 games this season, and his 6.2 yards per target as part of a scuffling offense means his fantasy appeal is limited.

Laquon Treadwell WR | IND
Jaguars' Laquon Treadwell: Finishes as top receiver again
Treadwell caught four of five targets for 62 yards during Sunday's 37-7 loss to the Rams.
Rookie QB Trevor Lawrence continues to struggle and finished with only 145 passing yards Sunday, and Treadwell nearly had as many receiving yards as every other pass catcher combined. The 2016 first-round pick has led Jacksonville's receivers with eight receptions for 115 yards across the past two games, and he also led the corps in offensive snaps Sunday. Treadwell's production is likely a mirage given how poor the offense is performing overall, but he's shown a solid rapport with Lawrence and has been a surprising bright spot the last couple weeks.

Byron Pringle WR | WAS
Chiefs' Byron Pringle: Draws four targets in win
Pringle recorded one reception for 14 yards on four targets Sunday in the Chiefs' 22-9 win over the Broncos.
Pringle played 70 percent of the Chiefs' offensive snaps in the contest, good for his largest share of the season. The uptick in reps didn't translate into much meaningful production, however, as the Kansas City aerial attack continues to prioritize Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill above all else. The likes of Pringle, Mecole Hardman, Josh Gordon and Demarcus Robinson can't be counted on to deliver fantasy-friendly performances on a weekly basis.

Anthony Schwartz WR | MIA
Browns' Anthony Schwartz: Remains in concussion protocol
Schwartz (concussion) didn't practice Monday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Schwartz suffered a concussion during the Browns' Week 10 loss to the Patriots and has been sidelined since. There was optimism that the rookie wideout would be available after Cleveland's Week 13 bye, but he remains in concussion protocols and is in danger of missing his third straight game. If he is unable to clear protocols before Week 14, then Donovan Peoples-Jones, Ja'Marcus Bradley and Rashard Higgins are all candidates for added WR snaps against Baltimore.
-
Penny Hart WR | ATL
Seahawks' Penny Hart: Catches first pass since Week 6
Hart recorded minus-1 yard on one reception in Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers.
Hart hauled in his first pass since Week 6. He played just nine offensive snaps as his playing time has dwindled with rookie Dee Eskridge healthy. Most of Hart's contributions will be on special teams going forward.

Justin Watson WR | KC
Buccaneers' Justin Watson: Unlikely to return in 2021
Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that he doubts Watson (knee) will be able to return from the reserve/PUP list this season, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Watson was initially expected to be sidelined until around November, but it appears as though he'll be forced to miss the entire 2021 campaign after he underwent knee surgery in late July. The 25-year-old is slated to become a free agent during the offseason after spending his first four professional seasons in Tampa Bay.

Racey McMath WR | DAL
Titans' Racey McMath: Cleared to practice
McMath (quadriceps) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
McMath landed on injured reserve in early October, but he'll now be able to practice after being sidelined for nearly two months. The receiver will need to be activated within 21 days if he hopes to return to game action this year.

Braxton Berrios WR | NYG
Jets' Braxton Berrios: Nice return sets up team's first TD
Berrios caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 33-18 loss to Philadelphia. He also returned three kickoffs for 139 yards.
Berrios bookended the contest with his two biggest contributions. He set up New York's opening-drive touchdown by taking the opening kickoff 79 yards down to the Eagles' 21-yard line, and Berrios' lone catch of the afternoon came on the game's final play. Berrios is a solid back-of-the-roster guy for the 3-9 Jets, but that's not a fantasy-friendly role.
-
Ben Skowronek WR | PIT
Rams' Ben Skowronek: Hauls in career-long gain
Skowronek caught one of his two targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 37-7 win over Jacksonville. He played 16 offensive snaps.
The rookie out of Notre Dame started and saw more run in the offense than normal Sunday, and he also made a career-long catch on the first Los Angeles possession of the second quarter. Skowronek probably received the boost in playing time because Odell Beckham was nursing a hip injury, and while he currently has limited upside, it does appear Skowronek has established himself as the No. 4 wide receiver on the depth chart.
-
J.J. Arcega-Whiteside WR | ATL
Eagles' J.J. Arcega-Whiteside: No touches against Jets
Arcega-Whiteside played 14 offensive snaps in Sunday's 33-18 win over the Jets.
Arcega-Whiteside had recorded a catch in each of the last two games, but he wasn't targeted in Sunday's Week 13 matchup. The 2019 second-rounder has had a minimal role in Philadelphia's offense this year and has hauled in both of his targets for 36 yards across the first 12 games of the season.
