  • Saints' Devaughn Vele: Hauls in eight passes Sunday

    Vele gathered in all eight targets for 93 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 21-17 defeat against the Dolphins.

    Vele delivered a standout performance in his second game since becoming the Saints' WR2. He finished second on the team in targets behind tight end Juwan Johnson (nine) and ahead of WR1 Chris Olave (seven) - the latter of whom suited up after being listed as questionable with back spasms. Vele logged a career high in receiving yards while tying his career high for catches, and he logged his first touchdown reception since Week 2. After recording just six catches over his first nine appearances this season, the second-year wideout has now accrued 11 catches for 130 yards and a touchdown across the last two games. Another solid performance for Vele would go a long way toward establishing his reliability for fantasy purposes. New Orleans is next in action Week 14 versus Tampa Bay

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Six grabs in loss to Carolina

    Nacua caught six of nine targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.

    Davante Adams was on the other end of both of Matthew Stafford's TD passes on the day, but Nacua led the Rams in catches and targets. Nacua has hauled in at least five passes in five straight games since returning from an ankle sprain in Week 9, racking up a 32-403-2 line on 42 targets over that stretch. The third-year wideout will look to keep rolling in a Week 14 divisional clash with the Cardinals.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Scores TD in Week 14

    Olave gathered in four of seven targets for 47 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 21-17 defeat to the Dolphins.

    Olave suited up after dealing with back spasms that left him questionable to play Week 13. The wideout finished third on the Saints in targets, as Devaughn Vele logged eight targets while tight end Juwan Johnson led the team with nine. Olave still scored his second touchdown in the last three games, connecting with rookie QB Tyler Shough for the second time since he became the Saints' starter Week 9. Despite the Saints' quarterback struggles, Olave's consistency and WR1 usage make him a no-brainer starting option for fantasy purposes. The Saints next face the Buccaneers in Week 14.

  • Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Two catches in return

    Thomas recorded two receptions on three targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Titans.

    Thomas returned from a three-game absence caused by an ankle injury, but his disappointing season continued. The Jaguars were able to rely relatively heavily on their run game while playing with at least a two-score lead for most of the game, but Thomas still finished tied for third on the team in targets. While he converted receptions of 17 and 11 yards, Thomas has now been held below 50 receiving yards in five of his nine games on the campaign.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Three grabs against Niners

    Jeudy caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers.

    Four different Cleveland players tied for the team lead with three catches, and Jeudy's yardage was second to Harold Fannin's 43. Both teams had trouble passing the ball in windy conditions, but Jeudy's become an afterthought in the Browns' offense regardless of the weather. Over two-plus games since Shedeur Sanders has been under center, the veteran wideout has just a 7-86-0 line on 14 targets. Jeudy will try to find a way to make an impact in Week 14 against the Titans.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Targets plummet in Harrison return

    Wilson secured three of seven targets for 36 yards in the Cardinals' 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Wilson had seen nearly a season's worth of work in the last two games with Marvin Harrison sitting out due to an appendectomy, with the former producing a 25-303-0 line on 33 targets. However, the third-year pro unsurprisingly saw a noteworthy reduction in opportunities with Harrison's return, although his target tally did tie for his highest of the season outside of the aforementioned pair of contests. Wilson likely will remain in a clear complementary role moving forward for as long as Harrison remains healthy, although he could have another solid target count in a Week 14 home showdown against the Rams.

  • Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Breaks out with 102 yards, TD

    Mitchell caught eight of 12 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.

    Mitchell burned Mike Hughes for a 52-yard touchdown in the third quarter, and the 23-year-old wide receiver drew a 27-yard pass interference penalty on A.J. Terrell in the first quarter, in addition to accounting for 102 of Tyrod Taylor's 172 passing yards. The Jets acquired Mitchell from the Colts along with two first-round picks for Sauce Gardner, who suffered a calf injury Sunday against the Texans. Indianapolis' 2024 second-round pick has drawn 25 targets in three games with the Jets while increasing his receiving yard totals from 10 yards to 42 to 102. Mitchell has shown promising ability to create separation despite drops and inconsistent quarterback play weighing down his effectiveness, making him an intriguing Week 14 fantasy option, even against a Dolphins secondary that has been stingy against wide receivers.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Just two catches in Cleveland

    Pearsall caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Browns.

    High winds in Cleveland nerfed both passing attacks, and tight ends George Kittle and Harold Fannin ended up being the leading pass catchers for their respective squads. Pearsall hasn't been able to make much of an impact even in better conditions since returning from a knee injury however, and over the last three games he's managed just a 5-20-0 line on nine targets. The second-year wideout will get the 49ers' bye week to reset before taking on the Titans in Week 15.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Six catches in return Sunday

    Harrison secured six of seven targets for 69 yards in the Cardinals' 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Making his return from a two-game absence following an emergency appendectomy, Harrison ascended back into his No. 1 receiver role at the expense of the likes of Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch. Harrison finished second across the board to Trey McBride in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, but he led Arizona's wideouts in all three categories despite dealing with a minor heel injury in the second half. Now seemingly back to full health, Harrison will maintain plenty of fantasy appeal across all formats going into a Week 14 home showdown against the Rams next Sunday.

  • 49ers' Jauan Jennings: Hauls in TD in Week 13 win

    Jennings caught four of six targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Browns.

    Both passing attacks struggled to deal with high winds in Cleveland, but Jennings was able to get on the other end of a Brock Purdy seven-yard TD pass in the fourth quarter. It's the fifth-year wideout's fourth score in the last five games, a stretch in which Jennings has put together a 23-246-4 line on 33 targets. He'll get a chance to rest during next week's bye before the 49ers host the Titans in Week 15.
