Cooper Kupp is back. There was a small lull during the season -- a streak almost every rookie has -- but on Sunday, in a critical game against the Saints with Robert Woods ailing, Kupp showed why he has been one of the top first-year receivers in the league.

He didn't score a touchdown, but Kupp had the only 100-yard day of any rookie receiver on eight catches. JuJu Smith-Schuster's hamstring injury left him inactive Sunday night, so Kupp now leads rookie receivers in receptions and yards.

Two other rookies are starting to find their niche as the season winds down.

Kenny Golladay seemed to be a rising star in Detroit. He had two touchdowns in the season-opener before a hamstring injury knocked him out of five games and he's now him in a time-share with TJ Jones. But Golladay has at least one big catch per game, which gives the Lions hope for improvement in 2018.

Then there's DeDe Westbrook, the Jaguars receiver who missed half the season with a core muscle injury. He's played in two games and is averaging eight targets, 3.5 catches and 38 yards per game. Not huge numbers, but he's finding ways to make an impact on a team that could be in the playoffs. As he gets more work with the Jaguars, he could be a late-season contributor for a team trying to make the postseason.

And it wouldn't be surprising if more rookie receivers get increased run as the final weeks of the season play out. With that in mind, here's a look at rookie receivers through 12 weeks -- a list that includes every receiver targeted this season (according to ESPN Stats & Information):

Corey Davis, Tennessee (YTD stats: 20 rec., 215 yards, 38 targets, 183 routes): He caught all four of his targets for 39 yards.

Zay Jones, Buffalo (YTD stats: 23 rec., 269 yards, 2 TD, 56 targets, 310 routes): Jones had what has become a typical week for him -- 10 targets, but only three receptions for 33 yards. He did, though, score a touchdown.
