  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Limited to one catch in win

    London secured one of two targets for four yards in the Falcons' 27-24 win over the Rams on Monday night.

    London tied his career low in catches while also setting a new low-water mark in receiving yards. His previous single-game low in yardage this season had come during his Week 16 return against the Cardinals, when he'd netted 27 on three receptions. Despite quiet back-to-back games, the 2022 first-round pick should have a solid chance of bouncing back in the Week 18 home regular-season finale against the Saints on Sunday.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Salvages night with late TD

    Nacua finished with five receptions (on 10 targets) for 47 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Falcons.

    Nacua was unable to feast on Atlanta the way he did last week against Seattle (12-225-2) in teammate Davante Adams' (hamstring) first missed game of the season. The Falcons' talented secondary did an excellent job of limiting the Rams' remaining superstar for the majority of Monday Night Football. Nacua couldn't be held down for the entire contest and hit pay dirt on an 11-yard screen pass to knot the game up at 24 with 4:42 remaining. After the loss, head coach Sean McVay told Stu Jackson of the team's official site that he plans on playing all of his healthy starters against the Cardinals in Week 18, which makes sense given the Rams still can claim the No. 5 seed in the NFC with a win in the regular-season finale and a loss by the 49ers on Saturday night. This affords Nacua one last opportunity on the campaign to build on his career-best 119-1,639-9 receiving line.

  • Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: Blanked again

    Tinsley was not targeted in Sunday's blowout win over the Cardinals. He played 22 offensive snaps.

    Tinsley has dropped back down in the pecking order now that Tee Higgins and Mike Gesicki are both healthy and commanding more targets.

  • Ronnie Bell WR | NO

    Ronnie Bell: Reverts to practice squad

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

    Bell was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 34-26 win over the Titans, ranking fourth at his position with two offensive snaps behind Chris Olave (49), Kevin Austin (44) and Dante Pettis (37). Bell failed to record any stats on offense, but he did secure one tackle while playing seven snaps with the special-teams unit. With Mason Tipton (groin) still banged up, it's possible that Bell is elevated again in Week 18 versus the Falcons.

  • Phillip Dorsett: Returns to practice squad

    Dorsett reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Dorsett was a healthy scratch after being elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Giants. The wide receiver has yet to appear in a contest this season, and he'll look to garner another elevation and do so in Week 18 versus the Chiefs.

  • Jahan Dotson WR | PHI

    Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Zero catches against Bills

    Dotson finished with zero catches on one target in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Bills.

    Dotson has now been held without a catch on six different occasions this season and has caught exactly one pass seven times. If the Eagles rest their starters in next week's regular-season finale against the Commanders, he could play a larger role, but with the second seed still a possibility with a win and a Bears loss, that may not be the plan.

  • Steven Sims WR | ARI

    Steven Sims: Back with practice squad

    Sims reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Sims was elevated to the active roster for the second straight week, failing to record any stats while playing three snaps on offense. Michael Wilson (49), Xavier Weaver (38), Marvin Harrison (19) and Jalen Brooks (17) out-snapped him on offense, though Harrison aggravated his heel injury in the contest. Additionally, Sims returned five kickoffs for 132 yards and added a five-yard punt return in the team's 37-14 loss to Cincinnati. Sims seems likely to be elevated again for the team's final regular-season contest Sunday against the Rams.

  • JP Richardson WR | CHI

    JP Richardson: Back to practice squad

    Richardson reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Richardson was elevated to the 49ers' active roster Saturday for the first time this season, but he was a healthy inactive for Sunday's win over the Bears. He's eligible to be elevated for Week 18 against the Seahawks, though that's unlikely to happen unless the 49ers are dealing with injuries to their wide-receiver corps.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Status up in air for Week 18

    Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that it "seems like it's going well" with Shaheed in regards to the concussion the wide receiver suffered Sunday at Carolina, but the Seahawks won't know if he can progress enough in the protocol for head injuries to put himself in a position to play until later this week, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

    The Seahawks have a short week to prepare for Saturday's NFC West showdown at San Francisco, so Shaheed would seem hard-pressed to make it all the way through the concussion protocol and play Week 18. In any case, how he's listed on Seattle's practice reports Tuesday through Thursday may shed light on his odds to suit up. With Cody White (groin) also banged-up in the wake of Week 17 action, the team currently has just four healthy wide receivers (Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Jake Bobo and Dareke Young) on the active roster.

  • Malik Heath WR | ATL

    Falcons' Malik Heath: Healthy scratch for MNF

    Heath (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Rams, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Heath has yet to appear in a game for the Falcons since being claimed off waivers from the Packers in early December, and that trend will continue for Monday night's game. With Atlanta eliminated from postseason contention, Week 18 against the Saints on Sunday presents Heath his final opportunity to play this season. The Falcons will go with five active wide receivers in Drake London, Darnell Mooney, David Sills, Dylan Drummond and Deven Thompkins against Los Angeles.
