  • Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Gets into end zone Monday

    Boutte brought in four of five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 33-15 win over the Giants on Monday night.

    Boutte tied Hunter Henry for the team lead in receptions and brought in one of Drake Maye's two touchdown passes, recording a three-yard scoring grab with one minute remaining in the first quarter. Five of Boutte's six touchdowns on the campaign have come within the last six contests, although he's only totaled 50 receiving yards in the last three games. Boutte next takes aim at the Bills' talented secondary in a Week 15 home clash on Sunday, Dec. 14 following a Week 14 bye.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Remains quiet in Week 13 win

    Diggs secured three of four targets for 26 yards in the Patriots' 33-15 win over the Giants on Monday night.

    Despite Drake Maye throwing for 282 yards on 24 completions, Diggs was once again a minor player in the air attack. The veteran wideout has 46 yards or fewer in five of his last six games, including back-to-back sub-30-yard tallies. Nevertheless, Diggs has the ability to resurface in a passing game that spreads the wealth around to different targets on a weekly basis, and such an instance could come in a Week 15 matchup against his old Bills teammates on Sunday, Dec. 14 following a Week 14 bye.

  • Isaiah Hodgins WR | NYG

    Giants' Isaiah Hodgins: Records one catch in Week 13 loss

    Hodgins brought in his only target for four yards Monday in a loss to New England.

    New York QB Jaxson Dart threw for only 139 yards in a game the Giants trailed by 23 points at the half, and no pass catcher on the team registered more than 41 receiving yards. Still, this was a very quiet game for Hodgins after he posted a 7-99-1 line across his first two contests since re-joining New York off Pittsburgh's practice squad in mid-November. Hodgins worked as the Giants' No. 3 wideout -- only two other WRs on the team (Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson) drew a target Monday -- and he figures to continue in that role following the club's Week 14 bye.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Patriots' Mack Hollins: Three catches during MNF

    Hollins caught three of four targets for 23 yards in Monday night's 33-15 win over the Giants.

    Hollins was able to secure multiple passes for the eighth straight game, but he's now gone nine contests in a row without reaching the end zone. The wide receiver is one of the many mouths to feed in a New England offense that loves to spread the ball around, with eight different players reeling in at least one pass Week 13. Hollins now has caught 35 of 48 targets for 417 yards and two touchdowns over 13 games this year.

  • Patriots' Kyle Williams: Makes most of one target

    Williams recorded one catch (on one target) for 33 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-15 win over the Giants.

    Williams was not prioritized in the Patriots offense, logging the fewest targets of eight players to hit the stat sheet Monday night. However, he made his one look count, hauling in a touchdown on an over-the-shoulder grab with excellent ball placement from Drake Maye. Williams has seen one or fewer targets in 10 games this season, though he's emerged as a downfield threat in recent weeks.

  • Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Nabs all three targets in Week 13

    Douglas hauled in all three of his targets for 33 yards in Monday's 33-15 victory over the Giants.

    Douglas tied for fourth in receiving yardage among Patriots pass catchers, and he was one of five players on the team to catch three passes in a contest during which QB Drake Maye spread the ball around pretty evenly. Two of Douglas' catches came in a span of three plays late in the second quarter as New England drove quickly down the field for a field goal just before halftime. Douglas has rarely been prolific this season, but he's been quite consistent of late with between 33 and 37 receiving yards in four straight games.

  • Giants' Gunner Olszewski: Done for Week 13 due to concussion

    Olszewski will be sidelined for the remainder of Monday's game against New England after being diagnosed with a concussion, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Olszewski took a huge helmet-to-helmet hit while returning a kick in the second quarter. He lost a fumble on the play and was immediately evaluated for a concussion. Now that a concussion has been confirmed, Olszewski won't be able to return to the contest, and he'll conclude the week with three kick returns for 54 yards. The Giants are on bye Week 14, but Olszewski will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in order to suit up Sunday, Dec. 14 against Washington.

  • Xavier Restrepo: Reverts to practice squad

    Restrepo (ankle) reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Restrepo was elevated to the Titans' active roster for a second consecutive week, and he played 11 of 59 offensive snaps during Tennessee's 25-3 loss to Jacksonville on Sunday. He finished the game with a 15-yard catch late in the fourth quarter, but he suffered an ankle injury during that play that was severe enough for him to be carted off the field. The undrafted rookie out of Miami showed promise in his two regular-season appearances with the Titans, but his ankle injury puts him in jeopardy of missing the rest of 2025.

  • Dante Pettis WR | NO

    Saints' Dante Pettis: Goes back to practice squad

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

    Pettis got his third elevation of the season for Sunday's Week 13 loss to Miami. He logged three snaps on offense without recording any targets, though the veteran wideout also played nine snaps on special teams and returned two punts for 12 yards along with two kicks for 47 yards. Since Pettis has already been elevated three times, he'd need to be signed to the active roster to suit up for the Saints again during the regular season.

  • Falcons' Deven Thompkins: Back to practice squad

    Thompkins reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Thompkins was elevated to the Falcons' active roster for a second straight game due to the absence of Drake London (knee). Thompkins played just nine of 69 offensive snaps during the Falcons' 27-24 loss to the Jets on Sunday, but he made the most of his limited playing time as he caught both of his targets for 23 yards while adding a five-yard rush. He also played five snaps on special teams and turned three kickoff returns into 63 yards. Thompkins is eligible to be elevated from Atlanta's practice squad once more this season, and that could come as soon as Week 14 against the Seahawks this Sunday if London is not cleared to return.
