Allen had six receptions (on 13 targets) for 82 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 30-12 loss to Minnesota.

Allen bounced back from last week's dud against the 49ers (3-30-0) with a performance against the Vikings that was reminiscent of his dominant days with the Chargers. After a terribly slow start to the season, the veteran wideout has posted a 23-271-4 receiving line over his last four contests. Allen will attempt to keep his recent string of hot play going Week 16 against the Lions on Sunday.

Addison secured seven of nine targets for 63 yards in the Vikings' 30-12 win over the Bears on Monday night.

Addison tied Justin Jefferson for the team lead in receptions on the night while checking in second behind his teammate in both receiving yards and targets. The talented second-year wideout got off to a hot start, as four of his catches came during two first-half possessions. Addison has logged 21 targets over his last two games and parlayed them into 196 receiving yards heading into a Week 16 road battle against the Seahawks where he should be busy once again.

Jefferson brought in seven of 13 targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 30-12 win over the Bears on Monday night.

Jefferson brought in Sam Darnold's only touchdown pass of the night on a seven-yard catch with just over five minutes remaining in the first quarter. Jefferson tied Jordan Addison for the team lead in receptions and set the pace in both receiving yards and targets, a familiar position for the star wideout. Jefferson has eclipsed 70 receiving yards in four of the last five games and also has three total scores in the last pair of contests heading into a Week 16 road battle against the Seahawks.

Dortch hauled in all three of his targets for 60 yards, recorded one carry for six yards and had two punt returns for 13 yards during Sunday's 30-17 win versus the Patriots.

Dortch missed out on his second touchdown of the season when he fumbled on his only carry at New England's two-yard line, but fortuitously the ball was recovered by Cardinals offensive lineman Jonah Williams in the back of the end zone for Arizona's first TD of the game. In the passing game, Dortch's 39-yard catch in the second quarter actually surpassed all but two of his single-game tallies through 14 appearances on the campaign, and his 60 receiving yards marked a season high. Prior to this Week 15 matchup, Dortch had strung together seven straight outings with less than 10 total yards, so he can't be counted on for a repeat performance this coming Sunday in Carolina.

Wilson caught both of his targets for nine yards during Sunday's 30-17 win against the Patriots.

Wilson's 74 percent snap share Sunday was in the range of his norm this season, but TE Trey McBride (10 targets), WR Marvin Harrison (six) and RB James Conner (five) continue to dominate the attention of QB Kyler Murray. Wilson has recorded multiple receptions in five consecutive contests, a span in which he's accrued a 14-199-1 line on 20 targets. He'll continue on in his modest role in the Cardinals' offense this coming Sunday at Carolina.

Smith reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Smith was elevated to the active roster for the first time this season in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars, failing to record any stats while playing one snap on offense. The wide receiver will look to join the active roster again in Week 16 against the Rams.

Shenault reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Shenault was elevated to the Chargers' roster for the second week in a row, failing to record any stats while playing seven snaps on offense and 13 snaps with the special-teams unit in Sunday's 40-17 loss to Tampa Bay. The wide receiver appears to be in line to be elevated again for Thursday night's matchup with the Broncos.

Boyd recorded two receptions (on three targets) for 39 yards in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Bengals.

Boyd got his first chance to face his former team and delivered an impressive 40-yard catch and run on the Titans' second possession to set up a touchdown. However, he failed to make an impact from there, as his only other reception went for minus-1 yard. Boyd has failed to reach 40 receiving yards in all but two games on the campaign.

Proche reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Proche was elevated from the practice squad for a second straight week due to Cedric Tillman (concussion) being sidelined. Proche served as the Browns' primary returner Sunday after Kadarius Toney was waived this past Tuesday, but the former ended up fumbling on a punt return early in the first quarter that led to a seven-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to JuJu Smith-Schuster three plays later. Whether Proche is elevated for Week 16 against the Bengals will likely depend on whether Tillman is able to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded two catches (on three targets) for nine yards in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Bengals.

Westbrook-Ikhine remained relatively uninvolved in the Tennessee offense for the second straight week, and he now has only five targets combined across his last two games. He's still maintained a near full-time snap rate, so a bounceback is possible. However, Westbrook-Ikhine is also likely to be held back by quarterback play, regardless of whether Mason Rudolph or Will Levis is under center.
