  • Khalil Shakir WR | BUF

    Bills' Khalil Shakir: Leads Bills pass catchers in win

    Shakir secured all five targets for 65 yards in the Bills' 35-31 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

    Shakir led the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets on an afternoon when Josh Allen threw for just 193 yards. The fourth-year pro eclipsed 50 receiving yards for only the second time in the last five games, as Buffalo's air attack continues to spread the ball around heavily to multiple pass catchers each week. Shakir will next set his sights on the Browns' injury-hampered secondary in a Week 16 road matchup next Sunday afternoon.

  • Rashee Rice WR | KC

    Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Kept in check despite seven catches

    Rice brought in seven of 11 targets for 51 yards in the Chiefs' 16-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Rice tied for the team lead in receptions and set the pace in targets while checking in second in receiving yards. The Chiefs' No. 1 receiver and the rest of his skill-position teammates now have an uncertain outlook for the remainder of the season, given it appears Patrick Mahomes suffered a serious knee injury in the fourth quarter that figures to sideline him the rest of the way. However, even if Gardner Minshew is under center for Kansas City's final three games, Rice figures to remain a top target.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Suffers chest injury in Week 15

    Watson departed Sunday's contest at Denver due to a chest injury.

    QB Jordan Love took a deep shot to Watson early in the third quarter, but Broncos All-Pro QB Patrick Surtain swooped in front of the wideout for a diving interception. Watson remained on the turf for several minutes after appearing to land hard on his left shoulder, but the Packers eventually announced him as questionable to return due to a chest issue. If Watson doesn't retake the field, he'll end Week 15 with three catches (on five targets) for 29 yards and no touchdowns. With Savion Williams (foot) inactive Sunday, the Packers currently are down to Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton at wide receiver.

  • Marvin Mims WR | DEN

    Broncos' Marvin Mims: Back in action

    Mims was dealing with a stinger but has returned to Sunday's matchup versus the Packers, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Mims is back in action after being banged up earlier in the game. The 23-year-old will resume his role as the team's punt returner and as a depth receiver.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Seven targets tie for team lead

    Meyers caught five of seven targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Jets.

    Meyers saw his touchdown streak end at three games, but he remained heavily involved, tying Brian Thomas for the team lead in targets while finishing two receiving yards shy of Travis Etienne's team-high total. Meyers is locked in as a key piece of a surging Jaguars offense that has averaged 33.3 points in six games since acquiring the veteran wide receiver in a trade with the Raiders. Denver's elite defense will try to slow Meyers and the Jaguars down in Week 16.

  • Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Opens scoring in win over Jets

    Thomas caught four of seven targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Jets. He also rushed once for five yards.

    Thomas capped the opening drive with a four-yard touchdown catch. Trevor Lawrence threw four more touchdown passes, but each of those went to running backs. Jakobi Meyers had five more receiving yards than Thomas while tying for the team lead in targets, but both receivers have been productive the past couple games while catching passes from the locked-in Lawrence. Thomas will face a tough test in Week 16 against Patrick Surtain and the Broncos.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Finds end zone again in Week 15

    Wilson caught five of 11 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans.

    Once again, Wilson was one of Jacoby Brissett's favorite downfield options in a blowout loss. Marvin Harrison has missed four of the last five games due to appendicitis and a heel injury, and in all four of those contests Wilson has seen double-digit targets, posting a massive 41-499-3 line on 60 targets during Harrison's absences. Harrison is expected to return before the end of the year, but if he's out again in Week 16 versus the Falcons, Wilson will be a must-start fantasy asset.

  • Marvin Mims WR | DEN

    Broncos' Marvin Mims: Nursing stinger

    Mims has a stinger and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Mims appears to have avoided being diagnosed with a concussion after leaving in the first half, but he's still dealing with a stinger that could keep him out for the rest of the game. Riley Moss will likely continue to serve as the Broncos' returner on punts for as long as Mims is sidelined.

  • 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.
