Schnell signed with the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Schnell spent the preseason with Tampa Bay, playing in all four games and catching seven passes for 119 yards. The rookie receiver likely will not find himself on the active roster right away, but with Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) both injured, he could find himself an injury or two away from having a role in the offense.

Cooks caught just four of his eight targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 44-21 loss to Dallas.

This was Cooks' largest target total since he received nine looks Week 4 against Tampa Bay, and while his receiving numbers were still his best since recording four catches for 59 yards against Atlanta in Week 7, these numbers weren't good enough for fantasy owners or the Rams. Cooks entered 2019 as one of the most consistent receivers in the league with five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, so there's potential his multiple concussions have hindered his play more than anything. As it stands, and at this stage of the season, he remains a risky start in most fantasy settings.

Reynolds caught two of his four targets for 36 yards during Sunday's 44-21 loss to Dallas. He played 26 of 73 offensive snaps.

After receiving the second most playing time among Los Angeles receivers last week, Reynolds ranked fourth among Rams wideouts Sunday. He continues to show well when given opportunities, but his role is both small and inconsistent, so he's an unreliable fantasy asset in most formats. It's definitely worth noting that he showed off in open space again, taking a short pass for 28 yards.

Beasley caught one of six targets for six yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Steelers.

After three straight weeks with a touchdown, Beasley struggled Sunday, finishing with a season-low one catch. The rest of the Bills' passing offense struggled as well against a tough Pittsburgh defense. Beasley will look to bounce back against the Patriots in Week 16.

McKenzie did not receive a target in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Steelers.

McKenzie was uninvolved on a night where Josh Allen only threw 25 times, with 10 of his targets going to John Brown. McKenzie, a third-year receiver, has only 23 catches for 236 yards this season.

James only played three snaps in Sunday's 29-22 loss to the Falcons.

James sits at the bottom of San Francisco's wide receiver depth chart, and he will likely remain there barring an injury. His contributions should continue to come mostly on special teams.

Renfrow (ribs) is expected to play Week 16 against the Chargers, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Renfrow missed the last three games after being injured in Week 12, but it appears his absence is about to come to an end. Renfrow was able to practice on a limited basis last Thursday and "looked great," so as long as he's able to do at least the same this week, he should be good to go for Week 16.

Bourne had one catch (two targets) for 11 yards in Sunday's 29-22 loss to Atlanta.

Bourne saw even fewer looks than usual and was unable to get in the end zone to supplement his fantasy value as in previous weeks. Duds like these are the risk with the 24-year-old as the fourth option in the passing game on a power-run offense. Bourne remains a deep-league option largely dependent on scoring heading into a Week 16 matchup with the Rams.

Samuel had one catch (three targets) for 29 yards and one carry for eight yards in Sunday's 29-22 loss to the Falcons.

George Kittle (13 receptions for 134 yards) ate up nearly all of Jimmy Garoppolo's targets, leaving scraps for the wideout corps. While Samuel recorded just two touches, he was able to break off the biggest gain of any wideout on his 29-yard catch and run. The rookie reached 100 total yards in three of his five previous contests, so look for him to get more involved against a Rams team that can be beat through the air Saturday.
