Smith-Schuster brought in seven of his 10 targets for 28 yards in Monday's 23-17 loss to Washington.

The Steelers relied heavily on the passing game once again, with Ben Roethlisberger attempting a season-high 53 passes. Smith-Schuster commanded a sizable target share, but he garnered only 2.8 yards per target, his lowest mark since Week 6. Pittsburgh has passed at least 40 times in each of the last five contests, and Smith-Schuster has received a fair share of targets. However, he's only averaging 4.4 yards per reception over the last three games.

Godwin (finger) didn't take part in practice Tuesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Godwin underwent a minor follow-up procedure earlier Tuesday to remove pins from his fractured left index finger, so his absence from the Bucs' practice session doesn't come as a major surprise. The Buccaneers are set to release their first Week 14 injury report Wednesday, which will reveal whether Godwin was able to get back on the practice field in some capacity a day after the procedure. The Buccaneers haven't yet indicated that Godwin is in danger of sitting out Sunday's game against the Vikings.

The Ravens don't plan to activate Snead (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cowboys, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Though Baltimore will get several reinforcements from the reserve/COVID-19 list Week 13, Snead is one of five players that will remain unavailable for a second straight game. According to Hensley, Snead, tight end Mark Andrews and linebacker Matt Judon are all recovering well since testing positive for COVID-19, and the Ravens are tentatively planning on having all three starters back in the lineup for a Week 14 matchup with the Browns on Dec. 14. While Snead is out for Tuesday's contest, look for Devin Duvernay and Dez Bryant to serve as the primary options alongside Marquise Brown in three-wide sets.

Hardman hauled in one of his three targets for 15 yards during Sunday's contest versus the Broncos.

Hardman logged 33 percent or fewer offensive snaps for a third straight week, with the first occurrence coming even while Sammy Watkins was still unavailable. At this point, he's droppable in most redraft formats and is simply a dynasty project with hopes of an expanded role next year, when both Watkins and Demarcus Robinson are set to see their contracts with the club expire.

Robinson reeled in both of his targets for 39 yards Sunday versus the Broncos.

Robinson hasn't finished with more than 69 receiving yards in a game this season but had snared a combined 11 passes over the last two weeks before seeing minimal passes in his direction Sunday. Robinson's two targets are his fewest since the team's previous game versus the Broncos in Week 7, so there's reason to believe he will be in line for at least a slightly better showing next week versus Miami.

Guyton caught two of his seven targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 45-0 loss to the Patriots.

Quarterback Justin Herbert was pressured tremendously throughout this game, which is likely why he looked to Guyton more times than ever before (seven targets). This matchup also marked Guyton's second time playing the most amount of offensive snaps (64), which was even more than Keenan Allen (62 snaps) and Mike Williams (59). The Chargers were unfortunately stumped in this blowout loss, but hopefully Guyton and company can turn it around for next Sunday against the Falcons.

Johnson caught his one target for one yard in Sunday's 45-0 loss to the Patriots.

The Chargers' offensive opportunities were truly lost in this matchup as they struggled to compete against the Patriots. With four receptions of 50 or more yards this season, Johnson is truly feast or famine when it comes to yardage, but a paltry nine targets through all of 2020 suggests he's hardly much of a fantasy option.

Godwin underwent a minor procedure Tuesday to have pins removed from his broken finger, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Godwin previously missed the Buccaneers' Week 8 win over the Giants after undergoing surgery on his fractured left index finger, but the report doesn't specify whether the follow-up procedure will cost him any time. The wideout's activity in practice this week will thus need to be monitored leading up to Sunday's game versus the Vikings. Since returning from his one-game absence, Godwin has totaled 24 receptions for 283 yards and a touchdown on 31 targets.

Edwards failed to reel in his only target in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Jets.

Edwards' role in the Raiders' offense has been severely limited due to the resurgence of Nelson Agholor alongside fellow receivers Henry Ruggs and Hunter Renfrow, while tight end Darren Waller remains a focal point of the team's aerial attack as well. A relatively difficult matchup against the Colts awaits in Week 14.

Ward caught three of his five targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-16 loss to Green Bay.

The 25-year-old's fourth touchdown of the season and first over his last five games was the first of Jalen Hurts' career and came in the fourth quarter. The 32-yard bomb helped get Ward to his highest yardage total since Week 3. He'll be tough to count on in Week 14 against the Saints.
