Cracraft finished the 2020 season with six receptions for 41 yards on nine targets across nine appearances with the 49ers.

Cracraft began the season on San Francisco's practice squad, but he earned a callup to the roster when the 49ers were in need of more depth at receiver. Even after his promotion, the Washington State product still struggled to make an impact on offense, instead seeing most of his snaps on special teams. Cracraft will be an exclusive rights free agent this offseason, but look for San Francisco to retain him.

Winfree signed a reserve/future contract with the Packers on Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The 24-year-old was elevated to the active roster for two games this season but spent most of the season on the practice squad. Winfree is set to go through Green Bay's offseason program.

Doss signed a reserve/future contract with the Raiders on Tuesday.

Doss spent the majority of the season on the Raiders' practice squad, but only was on the active roster for one contest -- playing three offensive snaps in the game.

Browns GM Andrew Berry said Beckham's recovery from knee surgery is going very well, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

Beckham tore the ACL in his left knee Oct. 25 and underwent surgery Nov. 10. He'll presumably be held out of practices throughout the offseason program, likely hoping to return at some point during training camp. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggested in November that Beckham could be traded, but recent comments from both Berry and the 28-year-old wideout suggest OBJ is part of the Browns' plan for 2021, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Kemp reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Kemp was brought up to the Chiefs' active roster for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against Buffalo. He was on the field for four offensive snaps and 17 special teams snaps, recovering an onside kick in the fourth quarter that helped seal the victory.

Beasley played through a fractured fibula during the playoffs, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports.

The Bills listed Beasley with a knee injury from Week 17 through the AFC Championship Game, never revealing any details. The slot receiver missed only one game (the regular-season finale) but said the injury bothered him during the first two rounds of the playoffs. Beasley felt better during the AFCCG loss to Kansas City, and he expects to have a normal offseason after catching seven passes in his final appearance of the campaign. The 31-year-old should be safe in Buffalo for the third season of his four-year, $29 million contract, considering he finished 2020 with career highs for catches (82), receiving yards (967), targets (107), yards per catch (11.8), yards per target (9.0) and catch rate (76.6 percent).

Mickens returned five kickoffs for 121 yards and ran back two punts for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-26 win over the Packers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

Mickens once again toiled almost exclusively on special teams, logging just three snaps from scrimmage as the No. 5 receiver with Antonio Brown (knee) out of action. The speedy four-year pro averaged an impressive 24.2 yards per kickoff return Sunday, and given that special teams have played a prominent part in turning the tide of multiple Super Bowls, Mickens stands a chance of making an impact in the upcoming, potentially high-scoring title game versus the Chiefs.

Johnson secured one of two targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-26 win over the Packers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

The rookie made another one of his trademark contested catches on a Tom Brady bullet in the second half, but it was the one ball he didn't bring in that was arguably even more prominent. Facing a third-and-4 with 1:46 remaining and trying to preserve a five-point lead, Brady surprisingly targeted Johnson on a right-to-left crossing route. Johnson got some separation from the trailing Kevin King, which caused the latter to grab hold of the wideout's undershirt and draw a critical pass interference penalty. Johnson had only 12 receptions during the regular season, but Brady has displayed trust in him by looking for him in the red zone and on tough throws during the postseason. However, if Antonio Brown (knee) is back for the Super Bowl LV matchup against the Chiefs as expected, Johnson likely will share No. 4 receiver duties with Scotty Miller during that contest.

Davis (ankle) failed to reel in any of his three targets during Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.

With everyone suited up for the Buffalo offense -- namely John Brown and Cole Beasley -- Davis only saw 22 percent of the offensive snaps, his lowest total in any game this season. While Davis and the Bills left a little on the table to the powerful Chiefs, the 2020 fourth-rounder should be pleased with his first campaign. Davis appeared in all 16 regular-season games, posting a 35-599-7 line on 62 targets. The TD catches ranked in a tie for second among all NFL rookies, while the yardage total was ninth. The only real cause for concern is if Brown remains part of the team's plan for 2021, as Davis would sit fourth in the WR pecking order behind Stefon Diggs, Brown and Beasley entering Week 1. But how often do three veteran receivers all stay healthy for long stretches?

Beasley caught seven of nine targets for 88 yards in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.

Beasley finished as the Bills' leading receiver on a night where the usually dominant duo of Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs were held in check. The slot specialist took another step forward in his second season with Buffalo, setting new career bests in receptions (82) and yardage (967) while hitting pay dirt four times across 15 contests during the regular season. Even with consistent improvements, the veteran receiver was only a must-roster player in PPR formats, offering a high floor and consistent targets to offset a lack of touchdowns. The four-year, $29 million contract Beasley signed back in 2019 is starting to look like a bargain for one the game's top slot receivers.
