Derius Davis WR | LAC
Chargers' Derius Davis: Held to one catch versus Las Vegas
Davis secured his only target for five yards during Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Raiders.
Davis finishes the regular season with 13 catches on 17 targets for 112 yards and two scores across 15 appearances. He also logged 12 carries for 39 yards, and contributed a combined 759 yards on kick and punt return duties. The 2023 fourth-round pick improved on his rookie-year production across the board, and he'll have a chance to continue making an impact Saturday on the road in a wild-card round playoff game against Houston.

DJ Chark WR | ATL
Chargers' DJ Chark: Wraps regular season with one catch
Chark secured one of three targets for six yards during Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Raiders.
Chark's inaugural season with the Chargers was disastrous, as he compiled just four grabs for 41 yards and one touchdown on 10 targets across seven regular-season appearances. Hip and groin injuries resulted in Chark's 2024 debut being delayed until Week 10. He has drawn seven combined targets in his last two appearances however, as he finally gets a chance to establish some chemistry with Justin Herbert. Chark will try to make an impact in the playoffs, beginning with Saturday's wild-card round game against Houston, prior to hitting free agency this offseason.

Dax Milne WR | CAR
Panthers' Dax Milne: Sticks in Carolina on futures deal
The Panthers signed Milne to a reserve/futures contract Tuesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Milne originally signed onto Carolina's practice squad back in October, and now he'll start the new league year in the same place. His experience as a returner could help his case to join a shallow group of wide receivers in 2025.

T.J. Luther WR | CAR
Panthers' T.J. Luther: Makes futures deal with Carolina
The Panthers signed Luther to a reserve/futures contract Tuesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Carolina added Luther to its practice squad in December, and now he'll stay with the team to begin the new year. He'll be competing to earn a roster spot among one of the league's most unproven groups of wide receivers.

Alex Erickson WR | HOU
Alex Erickson: Lands back on practice squad
Erickson reverted to New England's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Erickson got his third straight elevation ahead of Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Bills and saw action on offense for the first time this season, logging 14 offensive snaps without getting any targets. He also worked as the Patriots' primary return man, returning one kick for 16 yards and two punts for 26 yards. After catching 16 passes for 232 yards and one touchdown over eight games with the Chargers last year, Erickson was a free agent for most of the 2024 campaign, as he didn't latch on with New England's practice squad until mid-December.

Dez Fitzpatrick WR | LAC
Dez Fitzpatrick: Heads back to practice squad
The Chargers reverted Fitzpatrick to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
With Joshua Palmer ruled out due to a foot injury in Week 18 against the Raiders, Fitzpatrick was elevated from the practice squad for his first game action of the campaign. In the contest, the 2021 fourth-round draft pick played 10 offensive snaps -- fifth-most among wideouts on the team -- and didn't get any targets. If Palmer is unable to return to action for the Chargers' wild-card round matchup versus Houston on Saturday, Fitzpatrick would be a candidate for another elevation.

Kendric Pryor WR | CIN
Kendric Pryor: Returns to practice squad
Pryor reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday.
Pryor played one snap on offense during the Bengals' 19-17 win over the Steelers on Saturday but did not record any stats. Pryor appeared in two games overall for the Bengals during the 2024 season, catching his lone pass for nine yards against the Raiders in Week 9.

Anthony Miller WR | BAL
Anthony Miller: Back to practice squad
Miller reverted to the Ravens' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Miller was elevated to the Raven's active roster for the regular-season finale against the Browns on Saturday but was inactive for the contest. He'll be available for elevation during Baltimore's postseason run in case the Ravens need additional help at wide receiver or on special teams.

Seth Williams WR | LV
Cowboys' Seth Williams: Gets reserve/future deal from DAL
Dallas signed Williams to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Williams was a sixth-round selection by Denver in the 2021 NFL Draft. He saw action in two games as a rookie, catching one pass for 34 yards over 47 offensive snaps. Williams began the 2024 campaign with Jacksonville but was cut near the end of training camp, and the Cowboys signed him to their practice squad in early October. He'll get an opportunity to compete for a spot on the team's roster during training camp next summer.

Jalen Moreno-Cropper WR | NO
Cowboys' Jalen Moreno-Cropper: Inks reserve/future deal with DAL
The Cowboys signed Moreno-Cropper to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Moreno-Cropper originally signed with Dallas as an undrafted free agent in April of 2023. He's spent most of his time since on the team's practice squad, though he's gotten one elevation -- in Week 10 this season, he made his NFL debut and played 12 offensive snaps along with three special-teams snaps against Philadelphia without recording any other stats. Moreno-Cropper is now set to be part of the Dallas organization through the offseason and will try to earn a roster spot during training camp next summer.
