Montgomery had one reception for eight yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Atlanta.

Montgomery saw an increased role with Michael Pittman sidelined with a concussion, but the former wasn't as productive as the prior week with the Indy passing game struggling. He played on 61 of the offense's 71 snaps and went out on 44 routes. Montgomery had 48 yards receiving and a touchdown the prior week. He'll move back to a more limited role if Pittman is able to return Sunday against the Raiders.

Moore secured his only target for seven yards in the Buccaneers' 30-12 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Moore encouragingly saw an uptick in snaps from scrimmage to a season-high 22, but he still was minimally involved from a target perspective. The 28-year-old does have the type of track record to suggest he could see his numbers improve on any given week, but he'll remain a complementary option for the Buccaneers if Mike Evans and Chris Godwin remain in good health for the final two games of the campaign.

Melton had four receptions for 44 yards and one carry for seven yards in Sunday's 33-30 victory over the Panthers.

Melton was elevated to the active roster in Week 16 with both Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (toe/chest) unavailable, and with another receiver -- Dontayvion Wicks -- exiting the game with a chest injury, Melton wound up having his most productive day as a professional. Melton was returned to the practice squad following Sunday's contest, but with three Packers wideouts now working back from injury, he could suit up again in Week 17.

Palmer brought in four of six targets for 42 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-12 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Palmer enjoyed a resurgence after multiple underwhelming games, tying his career high in receptions while posting his third-highest yardage tally of his brief NFL tenure. He logged a solid 39 snaps on offense as well, seemingly cementing him as the Buccaneers' No. 3 receiver despite the presence of veteran David Moore on the active roster.

Flowers recorded nine catches (on 13 targets) for 72 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-19 win over the 49ers.

Flowers stood out in one of Baltimore's most important games of the season and commanded a career-high 13 targets. While that turned into a relatively modest 72 yards, he tripled all of the team's other pass catchers in opportunities. Flowers also tallied his third score in his last four games after catching a nine-yard touchdown early in the third quarter. While his yardage totals may be inconsistent due to Baltimore's run-heavy offensive scheme, Flowers has reemerged as a key part of the team's receiving corps by commanding at least eight targets in three of his last four contests.

Powell had three receptions for 53 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss to Detroit. He had one punt return for five yards.

Powell saw increased usage as he played on 27 of the offense's 54 snaps with Jordan Addison leaving with a sprained ankle. Powell could work as the No. 3 receiver next week against the Packers behind Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn if Addison is sidelined.

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

Davis was promoted to Arizona's active roster ahead of Week 16, but he ultimately failed to see the field. It was his first elevation of the season, and if Marquise Brown (heel) and Greg Dortch (shoulder) are forced to sit in Week 17, Davis could return to the active roster. However, more clarity on the team's receiver health will come as the week progresses.

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

Chisena saw 16 snaps on special teams (67 percent) in Week 16 en route to two tackles. It was his second time suiting up this season. It remains to be seen if the depth pass catcher will be elevated to the roster again in Week 17.

Smith caught four of five targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-25 win over the Giants.

The third-year wideout was on the other end of a 36-yard TD toss from Jalen Hurts in the second quarter to account for much of his production. Smith has found pay dirt three times in the last five games, posting a 30-404-3 line on 39 targets over that stretch, and he'll look to keep rolling Week 17 against the Cardinals.

Brown caught six of 11 targets for 80 yards in Monday's 33-25 win over the Giants.

He topped DeVonta Smith by one yard for the team lead, but the latter hauled in Jalen Hurts' only passing TD of the day. Brown hasn't scored a touchdown of his own in four straight games, posting a 28-344-0 line on 47 targets over that stretch. He'll look to break that drought Week 17 against the Cardinals.
