The Buccaneers placed Evans (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Evans hasn't practiced in any capacity since strained his hamstring in a Week 14 win over Indianapolis, so it's not entirely surprising that the Buccaneers have elected to shut him down. Tampa Bay promoted wideout Spencer Schnell from the practice squad Wednesday, adding depth to a position group that will also be missing Scott Miller (hamstring) for the rest of the season, and potentially Chris Godwin (hamstring), too. Evans concludes his sixth NFL season with 67 receptions for 1,157 yards and eight touchdowns over 13 games.

Chark (ankle) is expected to take part in Wednesday's practice, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Chark did some on-field work Monday and now appears set for a return to practice. He'll likely be a limited participant, but that nonetheless gives him a shot to suit up for Sunday's game in Atlanta. The wide receiver was able to run and cut during a workout Monday, with coach Doug Marrone referring to the progress as "great news" for Chark's odds of playing Week 16.

Foster did not record an offensive snap during Sunday's 17-10 win over Pittsburgh.

Foster had a catch of at least 20 yards in three straight games from Weeks 11 through 13, but -- after not linking up with Josh Allen in Week 14 -- Foster was limited to special teams Sunday. He continues to slide behind Isaiah McKenzie on the depth chart in a pass offense that isn't exactly consistent. He shouldn't be on your radar for Saturday's matchup against New England's second-ranked pass defense.

Hollins did not record an offensive snap during Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Giants.

Hollins saw a target in his Miami debut in Week 14, but didn't so much as see the field on offense the following week. Sunday brings a matchup against a mediocre Bengals pass defense, but it's probably too much to expect for Hollins to turn in a useful fantasy performance as he continues to familiarize himself with the Dolphins' scheme.

Dorsett was not targeted during Sunday's 34-13 win over Cincinnati.

It's the first time this season Dorsett has been held without a catch in back-to-back games, and he hasn't topped 40 yards in a game since Week 8. There's been a lot of talk in New England about Tom Brady's dissatisfaction with some of his receivers and Dorsett's lack of action seems to indicate that he's in the dog house. Next up is Saturday's matchup with a Buffalo defense that held Dorsett to 19 total yards in Week 4.

Meyers was not targeted during Sunday's 34-13 win over Cincinnati and logged just seven offensive snaps during the contest.

Meyers was averaging 51.7 yards per game over his prior three outings, but New England went in a different direction Sunday. The Patriots are notorious for changing things up to suit the week's matchup, but -- after recording just one catch in Week 14 -- Meyers' seven offensive snaps Sunday seem like part of a downturn. He's a very tough play Saturday, especially against Buffalo's third-ranked pass defense.

The Giants promoted Sills from their practice squad Tuesday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

The Giants placed Evan Engram (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday, affording Sills a chance for a two-game test run with the team to finish the year. Sills -- an undrafted rookie out of West Virginia -- was highly productive in college, recording 125 receptions for 1,966 yards and 33 touchdowns over his final two collegiate seasons. However, Sills likely will have to prove himself on special teams Sunday against the Redskins to catch the coaches' eyes going forward.

Dulin hauled in a four-yard pass in Monday's 34-7 loss to the Saints.

Dulin rounded out as the No. 5 wideout by a wide margin, as he played just nine offensive snaps while T.Y. Hilton came in fourth with 29. If further injuries surface, Dulin could climb the depth chart; otherwise, most of his utility will come from his special-teams presence.

Harris caught his lone target for a one-yard gain in Monday night's 34-7 win over the Colts.

Harris played nine snaps on offense, one more than he saw on special teams. While the rookie has not made a major impact yet in his young career, he can take solace in the fact that he's caught every one of his five targets on the season.

Doss caught one of two targets in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Raiders.

Doss played 35 offensive snaps -- his highest workload since Week 5 -- since Hunter Renfrow (ribs) was out of the lineup. Doss -- an undrafted rookie -- has produced just 11 receptions for 133 yards over eight games this season, and he figures to lose reps in Week 16 against the Chargers with Renfrow expected to return.
