Reynolds caught six of eight targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 54-51 win over the Chiefs.

Reynolds assumed Cooper Kupp's (knee) vacated starting position and fared quite well in an expanded role. Not only did he make a superb grab for a four-yard touchdown during the first quarter, but he finished behind only Brandin Cooks in catches and receiving yards. In doing so, last year's fourth-round pick set career highs, giving him great momentum heading into Los Angeles' bye week.

Cooks caught eight of 12 targets for 107 yards in Monday's 54-51 win over the Chiefs.

Cooks briefly visited the locker room while dealing with cramps, but that didn't prevent him from returning to action and finishing with another stellar outing. Despite not scoring, the wideout led Los Angeles in all major receiving categories, hitting the 100-yard mark for the third straight game. As the most explosive option in a high-octane passing attack, Cooks continues to deliver in a big way and will hope to keep his momentum when the Rams reconvene following their Week 12 bye.

Cooks is dealing with cramps and is questionable to return to Monday's contest against the Chiefs, Rich Hammond of The Orange County Register reports.

Cooks headed back to the locker room early in the third quarter due to cramps. If he is unable to return, look for Robert Woods and Josh Reynolds to see the majority of reps at wide receiver. Pharoh Cooper was activated off injured reserve before the contest and could also see increased action should Cooks not return.

Wims (knee) was not on Monday's estimated injury report, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Wims missed Sunday's game against the Vikings with a knee issue, but it seems he has recovered from the injury. The rookie wideout has only appeared in three games this season and has yet to catch a pass, so his health will likely not affect Chicago's offensive game plan going forward.

Williams caught two of his three targets for 56 yards in the 23-22 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

The lack of opportunities makes Williams a difficult fantasy play any given week, but it's hard to argue that the second-year receiver isn't a big-play threat. Despite catching two or fewer passes for the sixth time this season, the 2017 first-round pick snagged receptions of 29 and 27 yards to put the Chargers in scoring position on both occasions. Williams' fantasy potential is limited so long as Tyrell Williams and Keenan Allen continue to see the lion's share of the targets, but he remains an intriguing name to follow for the future, particular since the former is expected to hit free agency this offseason.

Crowder (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

Crowder hasn't taken the practice field since an MRI last week revealed lingering "issues" in his ankle. With the Redskins exercising caution with his recovery to this point, he seems poised to miss a seventh game in a row Thursday at Dallas. The current healthy members of the wide receiver corps are Josh Doctson, Maurice Harris, Trey Quinn and Michael Floyd.

Blacknall was waived by the Raiders on Monday, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Blacknall spent less than a week on Oakland's active roster. The undrafted rookie out of Penn State will be a strong candidate to resign with the Raiders' practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Smith (foot) was listed as a non-participant on the Saints' estimated injury report Monday.

The Saints didn't hold practice Monday, but Smith wouldn't have participated if the team had held drills due to a foot injury. As a result, his status bears monitoring as New Orleans prepares to host the Falcons on Thursday evening, especially on the heels of a 10-157-1 line on 13 targets this past Sunday versus the Eagles.

Ridley (thigh) was a limited participant at Monday's walk-through, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

Ridley has made a few appearances on Falcons injury reports this season, but he has yet to be a gameday inactive. Since his 146-yard, three-touchdown outburst Week 3, he's been a complementary option to Julio Jones in the passing attack, surpassing 50 yards receiving just two times in seven games. Overall, though, Ridley has posted an impressive 10.0 yards per target and seven TDs among his 39 receptions.

Bourne (undisclosed) appeared to be a limited participant in Monday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

There hasn't been anything to suggest Bourne's availability for Week 12 is in danger, but his status is nonetheless worth monitoring as the week unfolds. With Pierre Garcon (knee) uncertain to play, Bourne could be in store for a sizable workload this weekend against a Buccaneers defense that is allowing a league-high 32.9 points per game in 2018.
