Melton was signed to the Packers' 53-man roster from the Seahawks' practice squad Tuesday.

Melton was selected in the seventh round of the 2022 draft, and he was unable to break camp with Seattle's active roster. However, he did land a spot on the team's practice squad, where he has remained since Aug. 31. He'll now get a chance with the Packers and potentially play Sunday against the Vikings.

Campbell hauled in two of five targets for 19 yards during Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers.

Campbell finished second among the Colts wideouts in targets and offensive snaps behind Michael Pittman, but the former failed to make much of a fantasy impact. From Weeks 4 through 13, Campbell totaled 45 receptions on 60 targets for 450 yards and three touchdowns, but he's managed just four receptions on eight targets for 32 yards across the Colts' past two games following their Week 14 bye. The 2019 second-round pick figures to operate as the team's No. 2 wideout again in Week 17, but given his recent performances, he'll likely be a risky fantasy play even in deeper leagues.

Miller failed to bring in his only target over four snaps on offense during the Buccaneers' 19-16 win overtime win against the Cardinals on Sunday night.

Miller's minimal role was par for the course during the stretch run of the season, as the speedster has seen 15 snaps or fewer in the last six games while recording just three receptions for 32 yards in that span. With the Buccaneers' top four wide receivers available, Miller continues to project for sparse usage on offense over the remaining two games of the regular season.

Smith (foot) is getting an MRI on Tuesday, Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Smith suffered a foot injury during Saturday's win over the Lions, and the results of his MRI should reveal the severity of the issue. If Smith isn't available versus the Buccaneers in Week 17 it would not only hurt Carolina's receiving depth, but the team could have to rely on DJ Moore to return punts.

Snead reverted to San Francisco's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Snead was elevated for a second consecutive contest, but he operated primarily on special teams again and didn't record any counting stats. The veteran wideout has yet to draw a target across four appearances with the 49ers this season.

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

With Chris Olave (hamstring) out, Kirkwood was elevated to the active roster for the first time since Week 6 and played 16 of the Saints' 54 offensive snaps, putting him behind Tre'Quan Smith (33), Marquez Callaway (26) and Rashid Shaheed (23) but ahead of Kirk Merritt (three). However, Kirkwood failed to haul in either of his targets during New Orleans' 17-10 win over Cleveland and will head back to the practice squad.

Hollins caught one of two targets for seven yards in Saturday's 13-10 loss to the Steelers.

Hollins played 50 of the Raiders' 53 offensive snaps in the contest as the team's No. 2 receiver, but the 29-year-old was unable to do much damage. Despite playing double the snaps of No. 3 wideout Hunter Renfrow, Hollins was basically a non-factor Saturday while Renfrow caught four of his seven targets for 42 yards and the Raiders' only touchdown. Hollins has posted up-and-down performances over the course of the 2022 season, making him difficult to trust for fantasy purposes when the Raiders host the 49ers in Week 17.

Palmer caught two of his three targets for 16 yards in the 20-3 win Monday over the Colts.

The Colts struggled to muster any sort of offense, which allowed a lethargic Chargers offense to putter through a game that was hardly in any doubt. Monday marked the third straight game in which Palmer drew seven or less targets after recording 58 from Weeks 6-13. The return of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams from their respective injuries has essentially relegated Palmer to fourth in the target chain, with running back Austin Ekeler also a featured member of the passing attack.

Pierce recorded three receptions on four targets for 26 yards in Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers.

Pierce finished fourth on the team in targets, and the highlight of his performance came on a 15-yard reception midway through the second quarter-- tied for the third-longest passing play of the game by the Colts. Pierce has at least three catches in three of his last five games, though he's been held under 30 yards four times in that span. Given the quality of quarterback play for Indianapolis, Pierce isn't likely to have big performances to close out the season.

Sanders reverted back to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday.

Sanders played seven offensive snaps Sunday, but he didn't end up drawing any targets. The undrafted rookie free agent has two catches across three targets over three games in the 2022 campaign.
