  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Held to 54 yards

    St. Brown recorded four receptions on nine targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers.

    St. Brown remained involved in the Detroit offense, though his nine targets were a modest total given that Jared Goff took to the air 54 times. He was also inefficient with his opportunities by hauling in fewer than half of his targets for only the second time this season. It was nearly a bigger game for St. Brown, as he appeared to have a one-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter, only to have the score nullified by an offensive pass interference penalty. St. Brown will be in for another tough matchup in Week 17 against the Vikings.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: One catch vs. Tampa Bay

    Legette caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

    The second-year pro has now caught just seven of 13 targets for 74 yards over Carolina's last four contests. He appears to have been passed by Jalen Coker in the Panthers' receiving corps, as the latter has tallied 213 yards and two touchdowns on 14 receptions during that span. Legette remains Carolina's second-leading receiver on the season with 338 yards across 13 appearances, but he's unlikely to carry much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.

  • Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Hurts hamstring on SNF

    Douglas (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Prior to being deemed questionable to return, Douglas caught one of two targets for six yards. He had no targets in New England's Week 15 loss to the Bills.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Just one grab in return Sunday

    Harrison (heel) had one reception (on three targets) for 14 yards in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons.

    Harrison returned from his second two-game layoff since Week 10 -- the first was due to a concussion -- to reclaim his spot in Arizona's starting lineup. The 22-year-old may have been limited by the nagging heel injury that sidelined him in the first place after finishing Sunday's contest with new single-game lows for receptions (one) and yards (14) this season. Adam Schefter of ESPN shared late Saturday that the Cardinals planned to ease Harrison in upon his return, and that was indeed the case Sunday, as he logged just a 51 percent offensive snap share -- well below the 89 percent share posted by usual No. 2 wideout Michael Wilson. All three of Arizona's top receiving options experienced dips in production against Atlanta in Week 16, so Harrison's dud also may have been the result of a poor matchup for the Cardinals as a whole. Harrison will make another attempt at a return to form -- and may see an increased workload -- in next Sunday's road matchup against the Bengals.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Produces 12 yards versus Buffalo

    Jeudy caught three of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills.

    Jeudy's four targets tied for third on the team against Buffalo, but it marked the veteran receiver's 11th game held below 50 receiving yards this season. Jeudy has just two touchdowns on the year and has shown no ceiling with an extremely low fantasy floor. Even in a plus on-paper matchup against the Steelers next Sunday, Jeudy will be difficult to trust.

  • Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Three catches in Week 16 loss

    Brown caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in the Chiefs' 26-9 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

    With Rashee Rice (concussion) and Tyquan Thornton (concussion) inactive against Tennessee, Brown operated as the Chiefs' clear WR2 alongside Xavier Worthy. Unfortunately for Brown, Patrick Mahomes (knee) is out for the remainder of the season, and backup Gardner Minshew suffered a potentially significant knee injury of his own against Tennessee, leaving Chris Oladokun as Kansas City's quarterback by default. It's a lost season for Kansas City, and Brown won't be a recommended fantasy target Thursday against the Broncos.

  • Jayden Higgins WR | HOU

    Texans' Jayden Higgins: Catches one pass in victory

    Higgins caught one of three targets for 17 yards in the Texans' 23-21 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Higgins' three targets tied for fifth on the team, and the rookie has now managed just two catches for 21 scoreless yards on four targets across the last two contests. Higgins hasn't shown much of a fantasy ceiling in a passing offense that also includes Nico Collins, Dalton Schultz and Christian Kirk. Higgins won't be a recommended fantasy starter next Saturday against the Chargers' tough pass defense.

  • Jalen Coker WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jalen Coker: Goes for 47 yards in victory

    Coker caught three of five targets for 47 yards in the Panthers' 23-20 win over the Bucs on Sunday.

    Coker has drawn between four and six targets in six straight games as the distant second or third option in the Carolina offense behind rookie Tetairoa McMillan. Coker has yet to hit 75 yards in any single game this season and has settled in as a low-ceiling fantasy option ahead of next Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Steelers' Adam Thielen: Produces 49 yards in Week 16 win

    Thielen caught all four of his targets for 49 yards in the Steelers' 29-24 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Thielen's targets, catches and yards were all new season-highs for the 35-year-old wideout. After producing just two catches for 11 yards on two targets in his first two games with the Steelers, Thielen finished second on the team in receiving against Detroit. He's emerging as a clear top-three wide receiver in Pittsburgh, but it's unlikely to translate to useful fantasy numbers outside of deeper formats ahead of next Sunday's game against the Browns.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Struggles in Week 16 return

    London (knee) had three receptions on eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.

    London returned from a four-game absence due to a knee injury and was held in check by Arizona's defense. The star wideout was averaging 6.7 receptions and 90.0 yards in nine active games prior to going down in Week 11, highlighting the stark drop-off in production in Sunday's return. The good news is that London appeared to get through the contest without suffering a setback, potentially setting up a true return to form in Week 17 against the Rams.
