Kalif Raymond WR | DET
Lions' Kalif Raymond: Limited workload in return
Raymond caught his only target for 20 yards and added 15 yards on a punt return in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.
Raymond was making his return to action after missing two weeks with an ankle injury, and he was only on the field for 11 offensive plays. He was outpaced by rookie wideout Isaac TeSlaa (39) in offensive snaps, though TeSlaa failed to reel in his only target. Raymond has yet to find the end zone through the air this season, and he's now caught 16 of 20 targets for 170 yards over 12 contests this year.

Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Avoids major injury
The Packers believe Watson (chest/shoulder) did not suffer a major injury during Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Watson was forced out of Sunday's road loss to Denver and taken to a hospital for evaluation, though he was cleared to join his teammates for the return flight to Green Bay. It's a piece of welcome news for the Packers that Watson seemingly won't endure a long absence, but the explosive wideout now faces a short recovery window leading up to Saturday's key road divisional matchup against the Bears. In the event that Watson isn't able to get healthy in time for Week 16, Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton could see increased roles alongside Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed.

Cody White WR | SEA
Seahawks' Cody White: No targets in win
White wasn't targeted in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.
QB Sam Darnold threw the ball 36 times in this game, but White couldn't get into the rotation while playing just nine offensive snaps. The 27-year-old wide receiver has caught three passes for 90 yards and a touchdown over eight games this season.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey WR | DEN
Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Finds end zone against Packers
Humphrey caught three of four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.
Humphrey's trip to the end zone Sunday was his first touchdown of the 2025 campaign. The 27-year-old wideout played 46 of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps against the Packers, behind just Courtland Sutton (60) and ahead of Troy Franklin (34), Marvin Mims (21) and Michael Bandy (two). Humphrey's jump to a 68 percent snap share coincided with rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant missing the contest with a hamstring injury. The veteran wideout could play a significant role again in Week 16 if Bryant continues to miss time, but the severity of the hamstring issue remains unclear. Nonetheless, Humphrey would be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes in a Week 16 matchup against the Jaguars, as quarterback Bo Nix tends to spread the ball around to several pass catchers each week.

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),

Olamide Zaccheaus WR | CHI
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.

Xavier Hutchinson WR | HOU
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.
