Meyers caught four of six targets for 45 yards in Monday night's 38-9 loss to the Bills.

Meyers led the Pats in receiving on a night when the team made an in-game quarterback change from Cam Newton to Jarrett Stidham, with neither QB proving to be effective. Given that dire situation, it's tough to rely on Meyers for production, but his status atop New England's depth chart as well as a favorable matchup against the Jets at least offers some promise ahead of Week 17.

Beasley caught three of five targets for 17 yards in Monday night's 38-9 win over the Patriots.

Beasley's lowest yardage output of the campaign somehow came on a night when quarterback Josh Allen passed for 320 yards and four touchdowns. Although the veteran had put forth a few duds across an otherwise outstanding campaign, it was still surprising to see Beasley not get in on Monday's runaway win more significantly. He'll aim to bounce back in Week 17 versus the Dolphins.

Diggs caught nine of 11 targets for 145 yards and three touchdowns in Monday night's 38-9 win over the Patriots.

Diggs was spectacular in another signature victory and has incredibly now finished with at least 130 yards in three straight games. In doing so, Diggs has set a new Bills franchise record for receiving yards in a single season, and his three touchdown catches Monday helped quarterback Josh Allen clinch a team record for passing TDs in a campaign. The duo connected from 50, 18 and eight yards on their respective scores, enabling them to watch from the sidelines with a comfortable lead for virtually the entire fourth quarter. With such significant momentum, Diggs and Allen will now take aim at finishing the regular season strong against the Dolphins in Week 17, though managers will have to hope the Bills keep the pedal to the medal and push hard for the No. 2 seed in the AFC East, as their playoff spot is already locked.

Conley caught all three targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 41-17 loss to Chicago.

The 28-year-old played 49 percent of the offensive snaps and surpassed his production from the previous three games combined with Collin Johnson (hamstring) sidelined. Conley could serve as Jacksonville's No. 4 wideout again in the season finale if Johnson remains unavailable.

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

Just two of Hart's 11 total snaps came on offense during Sunday's 20-9 win over the Rams, as he still has just one reception for three yards over 12 appearances this season. The wideout from Georgia State returns to a reserve role as Seattle prepares for its regular-season finale against San Francisco.

Patrick caught three of four targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss at the Chargers.

Patrick arguably made the play of the game Sunday for the Broncos. With the team down by 10 and facing fourth-and-7 at midfield midway through the fourth quarter, Drew Lock found Patrick over the middle, and the Utah product broke upfield for a 27-yard gain. Denver punched it in for a TD four plays later. Patrick has been a rare bright spot for Denver's offense this season, ranking second on the team in catches and yards and first in touchdowns as an undrafted veteran on a team full of young, early round picks. He'll have an opportunity to end the season on a high note against a struggling Las Vegas pass defense that gave up four catches for 61 yards to Patrick in Week 10.

Jefferson played 14 offensive snaps and failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 20-9 loss to Seattle.

The rookie's lone target was thrown behind him, as Jefferson's debut season continues to underwhelm. He should receive more opportunities in 2021 with No. 3 wide receiver Josh Reynolds currently in the final season of his rookie deal and a candidate to move on in the offseason. Week 17 doesn't look promising for Jefferson, either. Quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) underwent surgery Monday, and backup QB John Walford hasn't played a competitive game since the 2019 preseason.

Ford reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Ford reeled in four of his five targets for 37 yards during Saturday night's 26-25 win over the Raiders, but he remains without a firm position on the active roster. Given that Jakeem Grant suffered a high-ankle sprain Saturday, there's a strong possibility Ford rejoins the 53-man roster for a Week 17 road trip to Buffalo. DeVante Parker (hamstring) continues to deal with injury, while Preston Williams (foot) remains on IR.

Reynolds caught six of 10 targets for 65 yards and rushed once for five yards during Sunday's 20-9 loss to Seattle.

After receiving just four targets over the previous three games, this was a noticeable boost in opportunities for Reynolds. However, his Week 17 outlook probably isn't favorable after quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) underwent surgery Monday. If Goff is unable to suit up, backup QB John Walford projects to start, but Walford hasn't seen competitive action since the 2019 preseason. Looking ahead to 2021, it's worth noting that Reynolds is in the final year of his rookie contract.

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

Irwin hauled in one of his two targets for a five-yard gain during Sunday's road win over the Texans. If he is promoted to the active roster for a Week 17 matchup against Baltimore, the 25-year-old would remain a depth passing-game option for the Brandon Allen-led Bengals.
