  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Just two catches Sunday

    Worthy caught two of three targets for 41 yards and gained zero yards on his only carry in Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Titans.

    Even with Rashee Rice (concussion) unavailable, Worthy didn't see an increase in his target volume, although it's easy to see why -- third-string QB Chris Oladokun wound up under center for most of the game after Gardner Minshew (knee) joined Patrick Mahomes (knee) on the sidelines. Worthy has gone seven straight games without catching more than four passes and nine straight without getting into the end zone, managing just a 29-387-0 line on 48 targets over that latter stretch. With Minshew also feared to have suffered a season-ending ACL tear, the entire Kansas City passing attack will have a significantly lowered floor and ceiling heading into a Week 17 meeting with the Broncos.

  • Khalil Shakir WR | BUF

    Bills' Khalil Shakir: Team-high yardage in win

    Shakir secured four of five targets for 34 yards in the Bills' 23-20 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also returned one punt for three yards.

    Shakir led the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets, but on an afternoon when Josh Allen threw for just 130 yards, that top billing didn't equate to much useful fantasy production. The Bills' passing game has been spreading the ball out all season, much to the chagrin of fantasy managers, and Shakir will take a modest average of 10.4 yards per reception for the season going into a Week 17 home showdown against the Eagles next Sunday.

  • Jordan Addison WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Another two-catch outing

    Addison caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Giants.

    Addison couldn't hold onto what would have been a 25-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. He finished a distant second on the team in receiving yards behind Justin Jefferson (85). Minnesota's passing game will be tough to trust Thursday against the Lions, especially if rookie Max Brosmer is thrust into his second NFL start. Brosmer entered after J.J. McCarthy (hand) left Sunday's win in the second quarter.

  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Accounts for 19 of Dart's 33 yards

    Robinson caught three of six targets for 19 yards and added a three-yard rush in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.

    Robinson caught Jaxson Dart's only first-half completion for a two-yard gain as the Giants went with a run-heavy game plan. Dart ultimately threw for only 33 yards. Robinson is the top option in the Giants' depleted passing offense, and he had at least eight targets in six consecutive games prior to Sunday's downturn in volume. He'll have a nice opportunity to bounce back in Week 17 against the Raiders.

  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Cowboys' George Pickens: Bounces back in loss to Bolts

    Pickens caught seven of nine targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Chargers.

    After a three-game stretch in which Pickens had posted a 14-158-0 line on 28 targets while CeeDee Lamb took center stage in the Cowboys' aerial attack, Pickens surged back to the forefront Sunday, capping his fifth 100-yard performance of the season with a 38-yard TD strike from Dak Prescott in the second quarter. Pickens has already put together a career-best campaign with 88 catches on 129 targets for 1,342 yards and nine touchdowns, and he'll look to stay locked in against the Commanders in Week 17.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Sets pace for air attack Sunday

    Waddle brought in five of nine targets for 72 yards in the Dolphins' 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Miami.

    Waddle flashed good chemistry with rookie first-time starter Quinn Ewers, leading the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The swapping out of Tua Tagovailoa for Ewers thus seemed to give Waddle's outlook a boost, as the talented wideout posted his best receiving yardage total in the last five contests. Waddle should have the opportunity to continue working with Ewers in a Week 17 home matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Limited yardage in Week 16 loss

    Lamb caught six of seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Chargers.

    After three straight 100-yard performances, Lamb took a back seat to George Pickens (7-130-1 on nine targets), as the talented receiving duo continues to alternate the role of Dak Prescott's favorite target. Lamb did reach 1,000 yards on the season Sunday, the fifth straight campaign he's hit that milestone, and he'll take a 69-1,027-3 line on 106 targets through 12 games into a Week 17 tilt against the Commanders.

  • Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Paces pass catchers, scores TD

    McMillan brought in six of 10 targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 23-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    McMillan finished with team-high figures in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, and he delivered the seventh touchdown catch of his career on a 22-yard grab just before halftime. The rookie first-round pick's catch and yardage totals were both McMillan's best over the last four games, and he'll next take on the daunting challenge of the Seahawks' secondary in a Week 17 home matchup next Sunday.

  • Keenan Allen WR | LAC

    Chargers' Keenan Allen: Reliable pass catcher once again

    Allen caught all five of his targets for 44 yards in the 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

    Allen has yet to exceed 60 yards receiving since Week 7, but he's been a reliable safety net tallying at least four receptions in four of the past five games. The veteran figures to be a critical part of the offense next week given how potent Houston's pass rush can be, especially against a Los Angeles offensive line besieged by injuries.

  • Tre Harris WR | LAC

    Chargers' Tre' Harris: New career high in receiving yards

    Harris caught four of his five targets for 54 yards in the 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

    The rookie set his career high in receiving yards (49) last week and immediately surpassed that the following game in large part due to the 34 receiving yards he tallied on the opening drive. Harris has effectively maintained a similar snap count week to week, and even in the event he sees his playing time jump, Houston's defense figures to present significant complications to Los Angeles' offense in the Week 17 contest.
