  • Cedric Tillman WR | CLE

    Browns' Cedric Tillman: Limited snap count in loss

    Tillman was not targeted over seven snaps in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Chicago in Week 15.

    Tillman battled a concussion and a rib injury during the practice week but was eventually cleared and allowed to suit up. The snap volume indicates he may not have been 100 percent, however. Tillman normally is the No. 2 wideout behind Jerry Jeudy, but he saw less action Sunday than depth WRs Malachi Corley (15 snaps) and Gage Larvadain (31),

  • Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Inconsistent role continues

    Zaccheaus did not catch any of three targets in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Zaccheaus has been held to seven or fewer yards in five of his last six contests while seeing reduced involvement in the offense. While his role has diminished of late, both Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden (ankle) are currently dealing with injuries, which could allow Zaccheaus to see more usage in Week 16 against the Packers.

  • Gage Larvadain WR | CLE

    Browns' Gage Larvadain: Season-high snap count

    Larvadain caught one of two targets for eight yards and returned one punt for one yard in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Bears in Week 15.

    Larvadain played a season-high 31 snaps on offense, as No. 2 wideout Cedric Tillman (seven snaps) was limited following a week in which he dealt with a concussion and a rib injury. Other than the increased snap volume, it was a normal week for Larvadain, who has five catches on eight targets for 49 yards the last three games.

  • Malachi Corley WR | CLE

    Browns' Malachi Corley: Targeted once in loss

    Corley caught his lone target for 10 yards and returned two kickoffs for 45 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Chicago in Week 15.

    Corley was touch-and-go all week but eventually cleared the concussion protocol and suited up Sunday. He was back in a familiar role as a depth wideout and kickoff returner.

  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Another quiet day

    Hutchinson caught one of two targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals in Week 15.

    The Texans often deployed multiple tight ends, which limited opportunities for Hutchinson and other depth wideouts. Houston's wide receivers were targeted just seven times in the win with Nico Collins (3-85-2) getting four of them. Hutchinson has seen his volume take a hit during the team's six-game win streak, recording six catches on 14 targets for 97 yards. Sunday was the fourth time during the win streak in which Hutchinson had two or fewer targets.

  • Jaylin Noel WR | HOU

    Texans' Jaylin Noel: Sets up two scores in win

    Noel returned one punt for 13 yards and two kickoffs for 108 yards in Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona in Week 15. He was not targeted on offense.

    Noel's 39-yard return on the opening kickoff put Houston in good field position on its first possession and set up a 57-yard touchdown pass. He later returned a kick 69 yards to set up a field goal. Noel's mostly been a non-factor on offense unless there are injuries ahead of him the depth chart. Since a three-game spree (11-16-153, one TD) earlier in the season, the 2025 third-round pick has eight receptions on 10 targets for 63 yards over the last seven games.

  • Christian Kirk WR | HOU

    Texans' Christian Kirk: Slide continues in win

    Kirk was not targeted and played 16 snaps in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals in Week 15.

    The snap count was a season low for Kirk, who went untargeted for the second time in three games. He now has one or zero catches in five of his last six contests. Rookie Jayden Higgins has emerged as the No. 2 wideout behind Nico Collins, leaving Kirk to compete with Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel for snaps and targets.

  • Chimere Dike WR | TEN

    Titans' Chimere Dike: Inefficient on five targets

    Dike recorded four receptions on five targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the 49ers. He added four kick returns for 90 yards and one rush for minus-7 yards.

    Dike was limited primarily to work on special teams early in the game, with three of his five targets coming on Tennessee's final two possessions of the contest. He now has at least four targets in each of his last four games, but Dike has topped 25 yards only once in that span. He's likely to continue to get opportunities down the stretch as Tennessee builds for the future, but his production will be unreliable.

  • Romeo Doubs WR | GB

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Tallies two receptions

    Doubs recorded two receptions on three targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.

    Doubs remained in a muted role, and he's now been held to four or fewer targets in five of his last six games. He has also topped 50 yards only once in that span. The potential absence of Christian Watson (chest) could increase Doubs' opportunity in a Week 16 matchup against the Bears, though both Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden currently look to be a higher priority for targets in the Green Bay offense.

  • Packers' Matthew Golden: Emerges late in loss

    Golden recorded three receptions on four targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.

    Golden had only two targets and one catch through three quarters, though he was forced to step up with Christian Watson (chest) sidelined early in the third quarter. Golden delivered a long 27-yard reception early in the fourth quarter to help set up a Green Bay field goal, and he managed his highest yardage total since Week 6. The severity of Watson's injury isn't clear, though Golden should have the chance to step up for a Week 16 matchup against the Bears if Watson is sidelined.
