Jones caught all three of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Bengals.

Jones' playing time isn't much of a concern with at least 39 offensive snaps logged throughout the Raiders' past three games, but he's failed to eclipse 27 receiving yards in a single contest since joining the Silver and Black. Expect the offense to lean on rookie running back Josh Jacobs again in Week 12 against the Jets.

Hollins played just 13 offensive snaps in Sunday's 17-10 loss to New England and saw no targets..

The snap count was the 26-year-old's lowest since Week 1, as he had seen at least 31 every week in between. The recently signed Jordan Matthews absorbed most of that playing time, but J.J. Arcega-Whiteside also played more. Hollins seems to have fallen down the depth chart despite DeSean Jackson (abdomen) being out for the season and Alshon Jeffery sitting with an ankle injury.

Arcega-Whiteside caught his only target for 29 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to New England.

The Stanford product played just 19 snaps with Alshon Jeffery (ankle) out, significantly fewer than the 64 Jordan Matthews saw, despite the latter having just been signed this week. Nevertheless, Arcega-Whiteside made his first catch since Week 3. With Jeffery on the mend, the rookie receiver doesn't stand to see his playing time increase in the near future.

Sherfield played four of 69 offensive snaps and 15 more plays on special teams during Sunday's 36-26 defeat in San Francisco.

After posting exactly one catch in four consecutive games between Weeks 4 and 7, Sherfield's role has dried up, as he's failed to reel in any of his four targets in the Cardinals' subsequent four contests. In that same stretch, rookies KeeSean Johnson and Andy Isabella have served as the team's most-used outside receivers. Arizona is on bye Week 12, but when it gets back on the field Sunday, Dec. 1 versus the Rams, Sherfield isn't much of a candidate to contribute.

Isabella gathered in one of four targets for six yards during Sunday's 36-26 loss in San Francisco.

Prior to Sunday's performance, Isabella boasted a perfect catch rate on his six career targets, so it was only a matter of time before there was a blemish on his stat line. Still, he was unable to break free for a gain of 40-plus yards, as he had done in the Cardinals' previous two contests. With a bye week on tap, Isabella's next chance to flash his speed arrives Sunday, Dec. 1 against the Rams.

Hill (hamstring) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Chargers.

Hill came up limping after attempting to haul in a long pass and immediately caught the eye of team trainers. After stretching and trying to stay in the game, he headed to the locker room to get extra medical attention. On offense, Hill's absence should lead to more opportunity for Sammy Watkins and Mecole Hardman, with Hardman taking over return duties.

Johnson recorded two catches on two targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 36-26 loss in San Francisco.

Johnson led all Cardinals outside receivers with a 33 percent share of the offensive plays, but once again he failed to impact the box score much, failing short of 20 receiving yards for the sixth time in 10 appearances this season. Because he has just 8.9 yards per catch, 4.5 yards per target and a 50 percent catch rate, it's difficult to rely on Johnson from week to week.

Kirk corralled six of nine passes for 41 yards and had a one-yard rush during Sunday's 36-26 loss at San Francisco.

Kirk led all Cardinals wideouts in offensive snap share, missing just one of 69 plays. He also paced the team in targets and receiving yards while matching Kenyan Drake's six receptions. With eight appearances under his belt this season, Kirk's stat line prorates to 92-1,016-6 over a full 16-game schedule, making him a must-start on a weekly basis, even if the Cardinals' passing attack isn't exactly clicking in every outing.

Coach Sean McVay expects Cooks (concussion) to return to action next Monday against the Ravens, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Cooks has yet to be cleared by an independent neurologist, but with limited practices under his belt last week, he's made some progress through the protocol for head injuries. Until Cooks passes that last step -- and as long as Robert Woods is dealing with a personal issue -- the Rams' receiving corps will be headed by Cooper Kupp and Josh Reynolds.

Coach Sean McVay didn't put a timeline on when Woods (personal) might return to the team, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Speaking to the media Monday, McVay said Woods continues to tend to a personal matter, hence the reason he missed Sunday's 17-7 win over the Bears. Until Brandin Cooks gets out of the concussion protocol, the Rams' top two options at wide receiver are Cooper Kupp and Josh Reynolds.
