Boyd had two catches for 13 yards in the Bengals' romp over the Steelers on Sunday, though he had another catch wiped out by a penalty.

Boyd's problem was that the Bengals were running the ball so effectively, and the game was such a blowout, that they didn't need to throw very often and not at all in the fourth quarter. This week's game against the Chargers should be a closer contest.

Beckham has been diagnosed with a hip pointer in the aftermath of Sunday's loss at Green Bay, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

While coach Sean McVay doesn't expect Beckham to be "limited" as a result of the injury, the wide receiver has a deep bruise that is causing discomfort and stiffness, per Josina Anderson of USA Today. Beckham seemed to hurt himself during a 54-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter Sunday, but he was targeted three times thereafter. His status thus bears watching as the week goes on to see if he does draw limited listings on injury reports, which the Rams will post Wednesday through Friday in advance of a Week 13 matchup with the Jaguars.

Humphries (hip) is listed as active Monday versus the Seahawks.

Despite having practice limitations during Week 12 prep, Humphries will be available to Washington's offense Monday, as he has been all season. He'll be joined by both Curtis Samuel (groin) and Logan Thomas (hamstring), but they'll all still take a back seat to No. 1 wideout Terry McLaurin.

Samuel (groin) is expected to be sidelined 1-to-2 weeks, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Coach Kyle Shanahan relayed the news Monday after Samuel left the tail end of Sunday's win against the Vikings with a groin injury. While it isn't a severe issue, Samuel likely will be out through a Week 14 visit to Cincinnati. While their No. 1 wide receiver is in recovery mode, the 49ers will turn to Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Trent Sherfield and Travis Benjamin at the position in the short term.

Samuel (groin) is listed as active Monday against the Seahawks.

After practicing in a limited capacity all week, Samuel will be making his first appearance since a Week 5 matchup with the Saints. Per Sam Fortier of The Washington Post, Samuel likely will be on a snap count to ensure he has no setbacks with his nagging groin injury. In two games this season, Samuel has logged 26 offensive snaps and hauled in four of five targets for 19 yards.

Kemp was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, according to Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston.

While this move certainly boosts Kansas City's receiving corps in terms of depth, Kemp is not expected to play a big role offensively. He's registered just two catches all season long and has played most of his snaps on special teams.

Lamb was a full participant in Monday's practice and is in line to play Thursday against the Saints after clearing the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. "Going through the protocol, it was tough," Lamb said. "I feel a lot better."

After he was diagnosed with the concussion following his early exit from the Cowboys' Week 11 loss to the Chiefs, Lamb made a strong push to clear the five-step protocol for head injuries ahead of the team's Thanksgiving Day game four days later, but he ultimately didn't receive the green light from an independent neurologist ahead of Dallas' 36-33 overtime loss to the Raiders. Lamb confirmed that he was able to pass all neurological testing at some point shortly after the game against Las Vegas, putting him on track to handle his normal starting role Thursday. Meanwhile, fellow starting wideout Amari Cooper didn't practice Monday while he was subject to cardiac testing after completing a 10-day quarantine following a positive COVID-19 test, but he should be ready to play this week if he's able to get back on the practice field at some point over the next two days. At this stage, No. 4 wideout Cedrick Wilson -- who injured his ankle Thanksgiving Day and didn't practice Monday -- looks to be the Dallas receiver most at risk of sitting out Week 13.

Treadwell caught four of eight targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Falcons. He also secured a two-point conversion.

Treadwell led Jacksonville in receiving yards and finished first on the team in targets during his first full game as Jacksonville's No. 3 wideout. He also was second among Jaguar wideouts with 63 offensive snaps, trailing only Marvin Jones (71). Treadwell appears to have established his role with Jamal Agnew (hip) and DJ Chark (ankle) out for the season, but his fantasy outlook remains limited in a low-scoring offense.

Osborn caught one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's 34-26 loss to the 49ers.

Osborn played 55 percent of the team's offensive snaps (30 of 55), but he was once again held to just one catch, as Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson dominated Kirk Cousins' attention. Even with the Vikings playing from behind for the majority of Sunday's loss, Osborn couldn't crack fantasy relevance. The 2020 fifth-round pick's steady playing time should keep him in the conversation, but his lack of production over the past four weeks (three catches for 44 yards) makes him a risky fantasy play in any format.

Beckham underwent scans on his back after Sunday's 36-28 loss to the Packers, but the receiver is still dealing with a deep contusion that is causing pain and stiffness, Josina Anderson of USA Today reports.

Beckham appeared to hurt his back in the fourth quarter after reeling in a 54-yard touchdown. The big play accounted for most of Beckham's production on the day, as he finished his second game as a member of the Rams with five receptions for 81 yards on 10 targets. Beckham also played 98 percent of the offensive snaps in the contest, a sign that the Rams are comfortable with his grasp of the playbook after he was on the field for only 28 percent of the snaps in his team debut Week 10 in San Francisco. At this stage, the back issue doesn't seem to be anything that truly threatens his availability for the Rams' Week 13 game against the Jaguars, though he could have his practice reps managed as a result.
