Darden logged three snaps from scrimmage without a target in the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills on Sunday, but he returned three kickoffs for 38 yards and one punt for 10 yards.

The rookie wideout saw Tyler Johnson and Breshad Perriman absorb the majority of wideout snaps behind the top duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, not an unexpected development even with Antonio Brown (ankle/suspension) and Scotty Miller (coach's decision) both unavailable. Darden is likely to stick to returns in a Week 15 Sunday night matchup against the Saints.

Beckham caught six of seven targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 30-23 win over the Cardinals.

Beckham scored Los Angeles' first points by hauling in a two-yard slant to begin the second quarter. That play gave the wideout a touchdown in three straight games, and Beckham continued to produce after his end-zone trip -- his 40-yard gain prior to halftime helped set up a field goal and marked his third consecutive outing with a play of at least 25 yards. Although he wasn't heard from as much in the second half, when Cooper Kupp began to build toward a career-high tally of 13 catches, Beckham still produced his best game as a Ram, an encouraging development as the team now turns its attention toward another divisional matchup versus the Seahawks in Week 15.

Hopkins caught five of 12 targets for 54 yards in Monday night's 30-23 loss to the Rams.

Hopkins got going with a pair of first-down gains early, but he narrowly missed out on a couple end-zone targets from close range in the second quarter. The wideout then dropped a critical fourth-and-two pass in the third, adding to his frustrations. With some failed contested targets to end the game, which were followed by Hopkins being seen limping on the sideline per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website, it overall was a performance to forget from the receiver, who will hope to rebound in what could be a great fantasy matchup versus the Lions in Week 15.

Johnson secured all three of his targets for 17 yards in the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills on Sunday.

A week after logging just nine snaps in a win over the Falcons, Johnson bumped all the way up to 49 plays from scrimmage, the highest total among Tampa Bay wideouts behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Johnson parlayed the opportunity into his best catch total since Week 10, but his modest yardage still made it a forgettable fantasy day. With Scotty Miller a healthy scratch Sunday, Johnson appears to be firmly ahead of the Bowling Green product on the depth chart and could continue as the No. 3 wideout for a Week 15 divisional clash against the Saints, although there's always the possibility Breshad Perriman eats into his opportunities.

Perriman secured one of two targets for a game-winning 58-yard touchdown during the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills on Sunday.

The speedy veteran took a short catch on a crossing pattern in overtime and turned it upfield, outrunning multiple Bills defenders down the right sideline for the score, which was his first touchdown since Week 11 of last season while with the Jets. Perriman is a legitimate downfield threat due to his game-breaking speed, but his questionable hands have always put a cap on his overall fantasy value. However, with Antonio Brown still on suspension for a Week 15 Sunday night showdown against the Saints, Perriman could see a downfield look or two, but he was notably out-snapped by Tyler Johnson, 49-26, against Buffalo.

Kupp caught 13 of 15 targets for 123 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 30-23 win over the Cardinals.

Kupp once again led the Rams in all major receiving categories, setting a new career high in receptions in the process. The wideout did his usual work moving the sticks in the first half, but he saw teammates Odell Beckham and Van Jefferson find the end zone before he hauled in a four-yard touchdown during the third quarter. Kupp was then leaned on more heavily in the fourth, when he also made a 44-yard catch on a perfectly placed ball by quarterback Matthew Stafford. With that gain helping him top 100 yards for an eighth time this season, Kupp continued what's been a remarkably consistent and productive campaign. He'll strive to add another standout showing to his name in Week 15 versus the Seahawks.

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

The wide receiver was elevated for Sunday's loss against the Saints, but he failed to register a catch on one target. With the Jets banged up at the position, it's possible that Smith may be active again in Week 15 versus the Dolphins.

Winston reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Winston was active for the first time this season in Week 14 as New Orleans dealt with the absences of Deonte Harris (suspension), Ty Montgomery (illness) and Lil'Jordan Humphrey (hamstring). He managed one reception, but his primary contributions came on special teams as he logged four punt returns for 54 yards.

Moore has reverted back to the Chargers' practice squad, per the NFL's transaction log.

Moore was promoted to the team's active roster prior to Sunday's game versus the Giants to provide depth at receiver. He ended up seeing eight offensive snaps, as well as eight on special teams. However, he did not record any statistics.

Johnson reverted to Las Vegas' practice squad Monday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson played just one offensive snap during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The second-year wideout has made six appearances this season -- spilt between Jacksonville and Las Vegas -- and has caught just two of his five targets for 16 yards. As a rookie with the Chargers last year, he caught 20 passes for 398 yards and three touchdowns.
