  • Jordan Addison WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Rips off long reception against DAL

    Addison brought in both of his targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

    Addison made his mark on Sunday Night Football when he took a deep pass from QB J.J. McCarthy 58 yards down the field in the second quarter of the win over Dallas. This was a great sign for fantasy managers after the wideout was dealing with a minor Achilles injury during the practice week. The 66 yards marked Addison's highest receiving total since Week 7, highlighting a potential return to form as McCarthy's play improves down the stretch. A soft matchup against the Giants' secondary next Sunday should help Addison generate value as a flex option in Week 16.

  • Jalen Nailor WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jalen Nailor: First career multi-score game

    Nailor corralled three of five targets for 47 yards and a pair of touchdowns while losing two yards on his only carry in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

    Nailor came up a bit lame after making an incredible grab on his first touchdown scored Sunday. The 26-year-old was grounded for a while after absorbing a hard landing on the catch, but he managed to stay in the game and produced a second touchdown grab in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory for Minnesota. It was the first multi-score game of Nailor's career and it doubled his total from his previous 13 games this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into Sunday's outburst. Nailor and his 26-395-4 receiving line remain only a deep-league option for Week 16.

  • Jack Bech WR | LV

    Raiders' Jack Bech: Two catches in shutout loss

    Bech brought in two of three targets for 17 yards in the Raiders' 31-0 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Despite his very modest numbers, Bech was more involved than Tre Tucker, who failed to come up with any of his three targets. Bech also finished with just 11 fewer yards than team leader Brock Bowers, as spot starter Kenny Pickett averaged just 2.6 yards per attempt while throwing for 64 yards. Bech could be due for a boost in opportunity in a Week 16 road matchup against the Texans next Sunday if Geno Smith can return from his shoulder injury and/or Tyler Lockett isn't able to suit up due to the wrist injury that he suffered in the second half of Sunday's loss.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Third straight 100-yard showing

    Lamb recorded six catches on 10 targets for 111 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to Minnesota.

    The Cowboys' pass catchers almost universally disappointed in Sunday night's loss, with Lamb being the only exception. He paced the team in every statistical category while commanding double-digit targets for the sixth time in 11 games this season. Lamb was efficient with the opportunity primarily due to a pair of 30-yard receptions, and he topped 100 receiving yards for the third straight game.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Limited to two catches in win

    McConkey secured two of three targets for 20 yards in the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

    McConkey was once again quiet in the gritty road win, finishing with less than 25 receiving yards for the third time in the last four games. McConkey's muted afternoon was all the more noteworthy considering the absence of Quentin Johnston (groin), and his target tally was his lowest of the season. The second-year wideout will look to exploit an inconsistent Cowboys secondary in a Week 16 road showdown next Sunday.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Win doesn't cure cold spell

    Jefferson was held to two receptions on eight targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

    Jefferson stayed under 25 receiving yards for the third straight appearance despite the Vikings rattling off consecutive wins. The chemistry with QB J.J. McCarthy is simply not there at the moment, with the duo generating a 50 percent catch rate or worse during the wideout's three-game skid in fantasy. Jefferson had a prime opportunity to turn his fortunes around in the second half when McCarthy rifled a pass to the corner of the end zone that hit his star receiver in the hands before dropping harmlessly to the ground. Fantasy managers may have no choice but to stick with Jefferson through his career-worst slump, as he possesses the skill to break out against the Giants next Sunday.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: One snag in defeat

    Pierce caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.

    Pierce was limited to a season-low 16 receiving yards while reeling in just one catch for the second time in four weeks. The wide receiver was working with 44-year-old Philip Rivers for the first time, and the veteran quarterback struggled to push the ball down the field, completing 18 of 27 passes for 120 yards in the contest. Pierce has proven to be an elite vertical threat in his fourth campaign in Indianapolis, securing 13 receptions of 20-plus yards, but his upside could be limited moving forward if Rivers remains the starter.

  • Colts' Michael Pittman: Quiet in Rivers' first start w/ IND

    Pittman had three receptions on five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.

    Philip Rivers' first start with the Colts in 2025 did not generate any fantasy stars from the receiving corps. Pittman did lead all Indianapolis wide receivers in targets and yardage, but that is not saying much in a game during which the offense was held to 120 passing yards. Pittman's value understandably dropped off following the news of QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) missing the rest of the season, and Rivers coming out of retirement may not be able to salvage it. The 27-year-old Pittman carries more value in deep and PPR formats for next Monday's tilt against the 49ers.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Reaches 100 yards

    Sutton recorded seven receptions on 10 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.

    The Broncos have spread targets around for much of the season, but Sutton was the key pass catcher in Sunday's win. He led the team with 10 targets, his fourth time hitting that mark this season. Sutton delivered several splash plays with that opportunity, including gains of 42 and 26 yards as well as a 14-yard touchdown reception. That helped him top 100 receiving yards for the first time since Week 3 while falling only five yards short of his season high.

  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Red-hot play continues

    Williams caught seven of nine targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.

    Williams continued his recent string of WR1 performances by nearly matching the season-best line of 7-144-1 he produced against the Packers in Week 13. The Alabama product is averaging 95.3 yards per game since Detroit's Week 8 bye, and that includes a zero-catch dud against the Giants. Amon-Ra St. Brown (13-164-2) also feasted against the Rams' secondary, proving that this passing attack can generate two fantasy stars simultaneously. Williams needs just 64 receiving yards against the Steelers next Sunday in order to reach the 1,000-yard plateau in consecutive seasons.
