Robinson caught five of his six targets for 69 yards in Monday's 26-17 win over the Bills.

Robinson took advantage of an expanded role in Sammy Watkins' (hamstring) absence, leading the Chiefs in receiving yards while tying tight end Travis Kelce for tops in catches. In doing so, Robinson totaled more yards Monday than he entered the game with on the season, which should keep his stock on the rise ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.

Hill caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in Monday's 26-17 win over the Bills. He also rushed once for five yards.

Hill had comfortably his worst performance of this season amid a downpour in Buffalo. Those conditions slowed Kansas City's usual high-flying passing game, instead leading the Chiefs to rush for a season high on the ground. Without getting involved much, Hill failed to extend his five-game touchdown streak to start this season, but the speedster will look to bounce back in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Broncos, who surrendered 141 receiving yards and three touchdowns to Hill in two meetings last season.

Watson (chest) logged zero targets over 13 snaps from scrimmage in the Buccaneers' 38-10 win over the Packers on Sunday.

The third-year wideout came up empty for the first time this season in his return from a Week 5 absence. Watson had posted six receptions (on nine targets) for 88 yards over the prior two contests for which he'd suited up, so he'll look to bounce back from this blanking in a Week 7 Sunday night battle versus the Raiders. However with the pass-catching corps now back to full health in terms of short-term injuries, Watson looks set to be relegated to the complementary role a No. 4 receiver usually fills.

Mickens logged only three snaps from scrimmage without a target but returned four punts for 30 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-10 win over the Packers on Sunday.

One game after recording his first two catches, Mickens was primarily limited to his usual returner role. The third-year wideout was expected to see his offensive role essentially disappear with the return of Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Justin Watson (chest) to action, which is exactly what came to fruition against the Packers.

Diggs caught six of eight targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 26-17 loss to the Chiefs.

Diggs led the Bills in all major receiving categories, with his modest yardage evidencing the impact that consistent rain had on his team's passing game. While it wasn't always pretty, Diggs still managed to find the end zone, skillfully keeping his feet in bounds while making a grab along the sideline from four yards out. With that play, Diggs has now gone for at least 85 yards and/or scored in all six games since joining Buffalo, making him one of the league's top performers at his position.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game versus the Cowboys.

Johnson played just five offensive snaps in a Week 5 win against the Jets, and now he's been pushed completely out of the gameplan. There aren't many reps to go around with DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk and Larry Fitzgerald handling most of the snaps in three-wide sets, but now Andy Isabella and Trent Sherfield are the only remaining reserves.

The Saints designated Montgomery (hamstring) to return from IR on Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Montgomery missed three games, and with the benefit of a Week 6 bye, it appears he could return to action Sunday versus the Panthers. The 27-year-old running back will add depth in the backfield upon return, but he's unlikely to take any reps from Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray.

Boykin caught one of two targets for 11 yards Sunday against the Eagles.

It was another nondescript outing from Boykin, who has yet to go over 40 yards or four catches in any game this season. His playing time the past three weeks has dipped down below a 60 percent snap share in each of those games, and Sunday's percentage was just 45. Meanwhile, rookie Devin Duvernay slowly but surely is playing more snaps each week. The Ravens said in the lead-up to Sunday's game that they were looking to get Boykin more involved, but that certainly wasn't the case. He'll be on a bye before returning to action Week 8 against the Steelers.

Duvernay caught all three of his targets for 31 yards Sunday against the Eagles.

The rookie continues to make the most of his opportunities, having caught 10 of his 12 targets for 90 yards through six games. His snap count ticked up Sunday as well, seeing 26 snaps for 36 percent of the Ravens' total offensive plays. Sunday marked the highest snap count of Duvernay's young career by eight plays. The Ravens are on a bye Week 7, and it would not be surprising to see them try to get the rookie more involved when they return to action.

The Patriots signed Kinsey to the practice squad Monday.

The Patriots cut Kinsey from the practice squad Oct. 2, but he's back with the team following news that they let Devin Ross go. Kinsey will add depth at wide receiver but likely won't get promoted unless there's an injury.
