Humphrey reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Humphrey finished third among Saints' wide receivers with 45 snaps on offense (54 percent) in Sunday's wild-card win over the Bears, although he was held to just one 14-yard reception on his lone target. The Saints put a lot of trust in Humphrey for a playoff game, so he stands a good chance to be elevated from the practice squad for the NFC divisional-round game against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Dorsett (foot) didn't play a game during the 2020 season.

Dorsett suffered a right foot injury during training camp and eventually underwent surgery to remove bone spurs from the injured foot in November. The 2015 first-round pick never suited up as a result, but head coach Pete Carroll relayed that he wants to bring Dorsett back next year, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. Dorsett would be yet another burner at Russell Wilson's disposal, as he heavily targeted both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in 2020. The 28-year-old wideout will officially become a free agent in March if the two sides can't reach a deal.

Pettis caught two passes for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' regular-season finale.

Actually, one of the catches was a trap that Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy failed to challenge, but who's counting? In any event, the 2018 second-round pick is still only 25 and should get another chance to carve out a role somewhere.

After a promising rookie season, Slayton put up a modest 96-50-751-3 line in 16 games.

Slayton's yards per target dropped from 8.8 in 2019 to 7.8 in 2020, and he made fewer big plays despite an extra 12 targets. He also dropped five passes after not dropping a single one as a rookie. Slayton is still the Giants' best deep threat, and he should be more productive if the offensive line gives Daniel Jones -- or whoever is under center in 2021 -- more time to look down the field.

Foster played in four games for the Washington Football Team in 2020, catching two of six targets for 37 yards.

Foster hasn't been able to recapture his 2018 rookie magic from Buffalo, but he did play a lot of special-teams snaps for Washington in December and January, potentially creating a path to a roster spot in 2021. The Alabama product isn't likely to generate much interest as a restricted free agent this offseason, after catching just five passes in 17 games the past two years.

Brown signed a reserve/future contract with Washington on Monday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

An undrafted rookie out of Colorado, Brown suited up in one game for Washington this year, logging four targetless snaps on offense. Brown was productive in his senior year at college with a 56-707-5 line, but his first three years at the school were relatively quiet. The 23-year-old will battle for a depth role in 2021.

Sims caught 27 of 37 targets for 265 yards and a touchdown in 12 regular-season games during the 2020 campaign.

Sims opened the year as Washington's No. 2 wide receiver, after scoring four TDs over the final three weeks of his 2019 rookie campaign. The team even experimented with giving him more snaps on the perimeter at the beginning of the season, but Sims moved back to the slot after a toe injury sent him to IR for Weeks 4-8. He then averaged just 3.2 targets and 18.0 receiving yards over his final nine games of the regular season, before catching three passes for 33 yards and a TD in the playoff loss to Tampa. The speedy young wideout is under contract for one more season, but he could face competition for a roster spot, as he struggled with ball security on punt returns and never quite established himself as a key part of the Washington offense.

Reynolds played 43 of 73 offensive snaps but didn't receive a target during Saturday's 30-20 win over Seattle.

The Rams only attempted 25 passes and completed just 12 of them, so there wasn't a lot of work available for Reynolds and the rest of the receiving corps. While Los Angeles may need to air it out more often in the divisional round against the Packers, Reynolds has been held to just 22 receptions for 202 yards over the past eight games. The fourth-year receiver is likely best viewed as a high-risk, medium-reward fantasy option Saturday.

Jefferson didn't play an offensive snap during Saturday's 30-20 win over Seattle.

After collecting a season-high 50 receiving yards Week 17 against Arizona, the rookie watched from the sidelines with Cooper Kupp back in action after a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list. It was just the second game all season that Jefferson didn't receive an offensive snap, so it's likely he's back in the fold next Saturday in the divisional-round matchup against the Packers. However, fantasy managers probably shouldn't view the first-year receiver as anything more than a flier given his uncertain role in the Los Angeles passing attack.

Peoples-Jones caught one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's 48-37 wild-card win over Pittsburgh.

Peoples-Jones worked himself back from a concussion suffered Week 17 of the regular season. With KhaDarel Hodge (reserve/COVID-19) unavailable, Peoples-Jones' availability was a welcome development, but he played a minor role in the win, despite playing a significant 46 snaps. The rookie was fifth on the target list behind Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, Austin Hooper and Nick Chubb. Cleveland moves onto the AFC divisional round next Sunday for a road game against the No. 1 seed Chiefs.
