Andrei Iosivas WR | CIN
Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Shut out in loss
Iosivas failed to bring in his only target during the Bengals' 24-0 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
This was a hugely disappointing effort considering that the Bengals were playing without Tee Higgins (concussion). The Ravens' pass rush wreaked havoc against quarterback Joe Burrow, and Burrow targeted Ja'Marr Chase nearly every time he dropped back.

Darius Slayton WR | NYG
Giants' Darius Slayton: Four catches against Commanders
Slayton caught four of 10 targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 29-21 loss to Washington.
The 10 targets were a season high for Slayton, but the volume didn't lead to much production. The veteran wideout has a mediocre 30-460-1 line on 50 targets through 11 games on the season, giving him little fantasy appeal heading into a Week 16 meeting with the Vikings.

Wan'Dale Robinson WR | NYG
Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Snags TD in Week 15 loss
Robinson caught five of 10 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders.
The fourth-year slot receiver connected with Jaxson Dart for a 16-yard TD in the fourth quarter as the Giants tried to mount a late comeback. Robinson has four touchdowns on the season, and two of them have come in the last three games, a stretch in which he's posted a 21-244-2 line on 32 targets. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 16 against the Vikings.

Marvin Mims WR | DEN
Broncos' Marvin Mims: Exits game Sunday
Mims (concussion) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus Green Bay, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Mims is currently being evaluated for a concussion, casting doubt on his status for the remainder of the game. If the 23-year-old ends up being unable to return, Riley Moss would likely fill in as the team's punt returner.

A.J. Brown WR | PHI
Eagles' A.J. Brown: Gets into end zone Sunday
Brown brought in both targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 31-0 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Brown was a non-factor for most of the afternoon, but the talented wideout made his presence felt with 14- and 27-yard grabs, the latter a scoring reception on the first play of the fourth quarter. Brown saw a three-game streak of 100-yard efforts snapped and posted his lowest catch total since Week 10, but he's now scored four times in the last three games heading into a Week 16 road matchup against a beatable Commanders secondary on Saturday afternoon.

Deebo Samuel WR | WAS
Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Three grabs in win over Giants
Samuel caught three of five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Giants.
Marcus Mariota completed only 10 passes in total on the day, with Samuel and Terry McLaurin the only players to catch more than one of them, but Samuel's longest gain went for only 18 yards. The veteran wideout has hauled in multiple passes in every game he's played this season, and his 65 receptions through 13 contests are already the second-highest total of his career after his 77 in 2021 with the 49ers. Samuel will look for his first TD since Week 11 in a Week 16 clash with the Eagles.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: One big play in Week 15 win
McLaurin caught three of four targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Giants.
The Commanders' top wideout was having a quiet day until connecting with Marcus Mariota on a 51-yard score in the fourth quarter. It's McLaurin's second TD in three games since returning from a quadriceps injury, a stretch in which he's posted a 13-216-2 line on 24 targets. Whether Mariota or Jayden Daniels (elbow) is under center in Week 16 against the Eagles, McLaurin figures to be his QB's top downfield option.

Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN
Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Big yardage day
Chase had 10 catches for 132 yards on 16 targets in the Bengals' 24-0 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. No other Bengals pass catcher had more than 37 yards receiving.
The big yardage day was bittersweet for Chase, as he didn't connect with Joe Burrow on a couple of key early plays, including one where he was open deep but Burrow checked down short of the sticks on a third-down play. With Tee Higgins (concussion) missing the game, Chase was targeted frequently but also drew the Ravens' constant attention on defense. The elite wideout's outlook for the rest of the season will be heavily dependent on whether the Bengals deem it wise to keep Burrow active now that they've been officially eliminated from postseason contention.

Zay Flowers WR | BAL
Ravens' Zay Flowers: Hauls in first TD since Week 1
Flowers caught three of five targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Bengals.
Lamar Jackson ended up attempting only 12 passes on the day as the Ravens defense dominated, but one of those tosses went for a 28-yard TD to Flowers in the second quarter. It was the third-year wideout's first trip to the end zone since Week 1, but it continued a productive stretch for Flowers that has seen him top 60 yards in six of eight games since Baltimore's bye while compiling a 37-536-1 line on 54 targets. Flowers will likely be a little busier in Week 16 against the Patriots.

Tyquan Thornton WR | KC
Chiefs' Tyquan Thornton: Possible concussion
Thornton is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Thornton took a helmet-to-helmet hit from Tony Jefferson early in the fourth quarter, which resulted in the latter being ejected from Sunday's game. With Hollywood Brown (personal) inactive, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Nikko Remigio and Jalen Royals are all candidates to see more snaps on offense for as long as Thornton is out of the game.
