Baccellia recorded one catch on three targets for three yards during Sunday's 45-17 defeat to the Rams.

The Cardinals were without WRs Marvin Harrison (heel), Greg Dortch (chest) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) in Week 14, affording Baccellia an opportunity for his first career start. The third-year player took a back seat to Michael Wilson in receiving output but matched him with a 79 percent snap share, easily outpacing practice-squad elevations Jalen Brooks (40 percent) and Trent Sherfield (nine percent). Even if Baccellia retains that workload this coming Sunday, an unyielding Texans defense isn't likely to yield much production to a wideout with nine receptions over 17 NFL appearances in his career.

Tipton totaled zero targets during Sunday's 24-20 victory over the Buccaneers.

Tipton has moved into the WR3 role since the Saints let go Brandin Cooks three weeks ago. The 25-year-old logged exactly three catches on four targets in each of the previous two games, but he did not show up on the stat sheet versus Tampa Bay other than a 54-yard return on the opening kickoff. Quarterback Tyler Shough fell well below his average number of passing attempts with just 20 in Week 14. However, Tipton's playing time also took a hit, falling to 45 percent of the offensive snaps after playing 70-plus in each of the previous two contests. Tipton's limited role shouldn't warrant much, if any, attention from fantasy owners. New Orleans will next play versus the Panthers in Week 15.

Valdes-Scantling reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Valdes-Scantling was elevated to the active roster for the first time with Pittsburgh, failing to catch his only target in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Ravens. The wide receiver logged 16 offensive snaps, which was tied for third most at his position with Calvin Austin behind DK Metcalf (43) and Adam Thielen (25). Valdes-Scantling can be elevated two more times before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

New Orleans reverted Austin to its practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

After being cut last Tuesday, Austin signed to the Saints' practice squad Thursday. He was then elevated for Sunday's win over Tampa Bay and logged two offensive snaps along with five special-teams snaps without recording any stats. Austin has yet to catch a pass through four games this season, so he's unlikely to be a viable fantasy asset for games in which he's active.

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

Jackson played just four snaps (two on offense, two on special teams) during the Raiders' 24-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday, though he managed to haul in a 25-yard touchdown pass from Kenny Pickett late in the fourth quarter. Week 14 was Jackson's second elevation from the practice squad this season, and he's eligible to be called up to the active roster one more time. That could come as soon as this Sunday against the Eagles if one or both of Dont'e Thornton (concussion) and Alex Bachman (thumb) are not cleared to play.

Trammell reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Trammell was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 36-19 win over the Colts, failing to compile any stats over five offensive snaps. The wide receiver helped fill in for the absence of Parker Washington (hip) in the contest, finishing behind Jakobi Meyers (53), Brian Thomas (53), Tim Patrick (42) and Dyami Brown (six) in offensive snaps. He was more productive on special teams, recording one punt return for 15 yards over three snaps with the unit. Trammell can be elevated two more times before Jacksonville would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

The Raiders reverted Turner to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Turner was elevated ahead of Sunday's loss to Denver but didn't see any work on offense. He did log four special-teams snaps and got a look as a punt returner, though he called for a fair catch the lone time the ball was kicked his way. Turner can be elevated two more times this season before Las Vegas would need to sign him to the active roster.

Sherfield reverted to Arizona's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Sherfield got his first elevation since joining Arizona in mid-November for Sunday's loss to the Rams and played nine of 62 offensive snaps, fourth most among Cardinals wideouts. He finished with one target (which he didn't catch) and also played 20 snaps on special teams, making two tackles on kick coverage. Sherfield's opportunity came as a result of Marvin Harrison (heel) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) missing the contest, and Sherfield's likelihood of being elevated again for Week 15 could hinge on the health of those two players.

Davis (ankle) has been deemed questionable to return to Monday's Week 14 matchup against Philadelphia, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Davis was injured while returning a punt in the first half. He's made only one catch this season but has been working as Los Angeles' top kick and punt returner. Hassan Haskins may be asked to take on return duties Monday if Davis can't return.

Jefferson recorded two catches on four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-29 win over the Browns.

Jefferson was second among the Titans' wide receivers with 48 offensive snaps, with only Elic Ayomanor logging more. He earned four targets for the second consecutive week, though his longest gain went for only 11 yards. Jefferson has now been held to fewer than 20 yards in three consecutive games and has topped 25 receiving yards only twice on the campaign.
