  • Greg Dortch WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Tallies 66 yards from scrimmage

    Dortch hauled in all three of his targets for 60 yards, recorded one carry for six yards and had two punt returns for 13 yards during Sunday's 30-17 win versus the Patriots.

    Dortch missed out on his second touchdown of the season when he fumbled on his only carry at New England's two-yard line, but fortuitously the ball was recovered by Cardinals offensive lineman Jonah Williams in the back of the end zone for Arizona's first TD of the game. In the passing game, Dortch's 39-yard catch in the second quarter actually surpassed all but two of his single-game tallies through 14 appearances on the campaign, and his 60 receiving yards marked a season high. Prior to this Week 15 matchup, Dortch had strung together seven straight outings with less than 10 total yards, so he can't be counted on for a repeat performance this coming Sunday in Carolina.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Little output on two catches

    Wilson caught both of his targets for nine yards during Sunday's 30-17 win against the Patriots.

    Wilson's 74 percent snap share Sunday was in the range of his norm this season, but TE Trey McBride (10 targets), WR Marvin Harrison (six) and RB James Conner (five) continue to dominate the attention of QB Kyler Murray. Wilson has recorded multiple receptions in five consecutive contests, a span in which he's accrued a 14-199-1 line on 20 targets. He'll continue on in his modest role in the Cardinals offense this coming Sunday at Carolina.

  • Brandon Smith WR | NYJ

    Brandon Smith: Returns to practice squad

    Smith reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Smith was elevated to the active roster for the first time this season in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars, failing to record any stats while playing one snap on offense. The wide receiver will look to join the active roster again in Week 16 against the Rams.

  • Laviska Shenault: Reverts to practice squad

    Shenault reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Shenault was elevated to the Chargers' roster for the second week in a row, failing to record any stats while playing seven snaps on offense and 13 snaps with the special-teams unit in Sunday's 40-17 loss to Tampa Bay. The wide receiver appears to be in line to be elevated again for Thursday night's matchup with the Broncos.

  • Tyler Boyd WR | TEN

    Titans' Tyler Boyd: One long catch against former team

    Boyd recorded two receptions (on three targets) for 39 yards in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Bengals.

    Boyd got his first chance to face his former team and delivered an impressive 40-yard catch and run on the Titans' second possession to set up a touchdown. However, he failed to make an impact from there, as his only other reception went for minus-1 yard. Boyd has failed to reach 40 receiving yards in all but two games on the campaign.

  • James Proche WR | CLE

    James Proche: Reverts to practice squad

    Proche reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Proche was elevated from the practice squad for a second straight week due to Cedric Tillman (concussion) being sidelined. Proche served as the Browns' primary returner Sunday after Kadarius Toney was waived this past Tuesday, but the former ended up fumbling on a punt return early in the first quarter that led to a seven-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to JuJu Smith-Schuster three plays later. Whether Proche is elevated for Week 16 against the Bengals will likely depend on whether Tillman is able to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols.

  • Titans' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Another quiet showing

    Westbrook-Ikhine recorded two catches (on three targets) for nine yards in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Bengals.

    Westbrook-Ikhine remained relatively uninvolved in the Tennessee offense for the second straight week, and he now has only five targets combined across his last two games. He's still maintained a near full-time snap rate, so a bounceback is possible. However, Westbrook-Ikhine is also likely to be held back by quarterback play, regardless of whether Mason Rudolph or Will Levis is under center.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Josh Reynolds: Minor role in Jacksonville debut

    Reynolds failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's loss to the Jets.

    The 29-year-old made his debut for the Jaguars after being claimed off waivers Dec. 4, but he didn't see much action in the passing game while working as the No. 4 wideout. Reynolds' role isn't likely to change much down the stretch if Brian Thomas, Parker Washington and Devin Duvernay remain healthy.

  • Devin Duvernay WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Devin Duvernay: Decent involvement Week 15

    Duvernay caught three of four targets for 42 yards, returned two kickoffs for 63 yards and returned two punts for 12 yards during Sunday's loss to the Jets.

    Josh Reynolds made his Jacksonville debut but garnered just one target on 27 offensive snaps as Duvernay retained his role has the team's No. 3 wide receiver. The return man has been more involved in the offense of late with eight catches for 73 yards over the past three weeks, but he doesn't have much fantasy utility.

  • Jaguars' Parker Washington: Totals 54 yards in loss

    Washington caught three of six targets for 54 yards during Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets.

    The 2023 sixth-round pick was second among Jacksonville's wideouts with an 86 percent snap share and finished third on the team in targets and receiving yards. Quarterback Mac Jones attempted 46 passes on the day, but Brian Thomas and Brenton Strange combined for 26 of those targets. Washington should continue to operate as Jacksonville's No. 2 wide receiver, and he's been moderately involved in the passing game over the past three weeks with 11 receptions for 172 yards and a touchdown.
