Johnson secured his only target for nine yards in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.

He logged a robust 48 snaps despite Scotty Miller's return from injured reserve, but Johnson once again came up nearly empty while filling the No. 3 receiver role in place of Antonio Brown (ankle). The second-year wideout appears destined to take a hit to his playing time as soon as a Week 13 road battle against the Falcons, either because of Miller eating into his snaps or Brown returning to action.

Lockett caught three of five targets for 96 yards in Monday night's 17-15 loss to Washington.

Lockett was explosive in the first half, hauling in a 55-yard pass prior to a 39-yard gain in the second quarter. Those big plays helped him comfortably lead the Seahawks in receiving, with teammate DK Metcalf managing merely one catch for 13 yards. Although Seattle's offense has struggled lately, Lockett has still been productive, now topping 95 yards in three of his last four contests.

McLaurin caught four of seven targets for 51 yards in Monday night's 17-15 win over the Seahawks.

McLaurin led Washington in receiving yards but trailed Antonio Gibson in catches, with the tailback hauling in all seven of his looks. However, with a gain of 20 yards on his team's first offensive play of the second half, McLaurin still accounted for Washington's longest play of the night and helped set up a touchdown on that drive. He'll strive to keep the big plays coming in Week 13 versus the Raiders.

Metcalf caught one of four targets for 13 yards in Monday night's 17-15 loss to Washington.

Metcalf was hardly involved in another underwhelming offensive performance from the Seahawks. In fact, his lone catch didn't come until there was just over a minute remaining in the game. With three straight outings of under 35 receiving yards and no touchdowns, Metcalf carries a slump into Week 13's matchup versus the 49ers.

Boyd had two catches for 13 yards in the Bengals' romp over the Steelers on Sunday, though he had another catch wiped out by a penalty.

Boyd's problem was that the Bengals were running the ball so effectively, and the game was such a blowout, that they didn't need to throw very often and not at all in the fourth quarter. This week's game against the Chargers should be a closer contest.

Beckham has been diagnosed with a hip pointer in the aftermath of Sunday's loss at Green Bay, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

While coach Sean McVay doesn't expect Beckham to be "limited" as a result of the injury, the wide receiver has a deep bruise that is causing discomfort and stiffness, per Josina Anderson of USA Today. Beckham seemed to hurt himself during a 54-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter Sunday, but he was targeted three times thereafter. His status thus bears watching as the week goes on to see if he does draw limited listings on injury reports, which the Rams will post Wednesday through Friday in advance of a Week 13 matchup with the Jaguars.

Humphries (hip) is listed as active Monday versus the Seahawks.

Despite having practice limitations during Week 12 prep, Humphries will be available to Washington's offense Monday, as he has been all season. He'll be joined by both Curtis Samuel (groin) and Logan Thomas (hamstring), but they'll all still take a back seat to No. 1 wideout Terry McLaurin.

Samuel (groin) is expected to be sidelined 1-to-2 weeks, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Coach Kyle Shanahan relayed the news Monday after Samuel left the tail end of Sunday's win against the Vikings with a groin injury. While it isn't a severe issue, Samuel likely will be out through a Week 14 visit to Cincinnati. While their No. 1 wide receiver is in recovery mode, the 49ers will turn to Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Trent Sherfield and Travis Benjamin at the position in the short term.

Samuel (groin) is listed as active Monday against the Seahawks.

After practicing in a limited capacity all week, Samuel will be making his first appearance since a Week 5 matchup with the Saints. Per Sam Fortier of The Washington Post, Samuel likely will be on a snap count to ensure he has no setbacks with his nagging groin injury. In two games this season, Samuel has logged 26 offensive snaps and hauled in four of five targets for 19 yards.

Kemp was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, according to Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston.

While this move certainly boosts Kansas City's receiving corps in terms of depth, Kemp is not expected to play a big role offensively. He's registered just two catches all season long and has played most of his snaps on special teams.
