  • Packers' Christian Watson: Catches two long touchdowns

    Watson had four receptions on as many targets for 89 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 28-21 win over Chicago.

    Watson made the most of his limited opportunities after cashing in a pair of 20-plus yard touchdown receptions against the Bears. The 26-year-old finished as the game's leading receiver despite tying two teammates for the team lead in targets (four). Watson has hit the ground running since being activated off injured reserve back in Week 8. The 2022 second-round pick has provided fantasy managers with a 25-452-5 receiving line over that seven-game span. Watson is thriving as Green Bay's deep threat, almost forcing fantasy managers to start him in a tough matchup on the road against the Broncos next Sunday.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Undisclosed injury on last drive

    Pierce left the final drive of Sunday's loss at Jacksonville with an undisclosed injury but was not in the concussion protocol despite a broadcast report saying he was being evaluated for a concussion, the Indianapolis Star reports. "You can ask the trainers," Pierce said. "Not going to talk about injuries."

    NFL players are not allowed to talk to reporters after the game if in the concussion protocol, so a concussion can be ruled out at this point. It sounds like a minor injury, but check his status in practice early in the week. Pierce recorded five receptions on eight targets for 80 yards in the loss.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Breaks free for long TD

    Jeudy brought in three of five targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 31-29 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

    The veteran wideout put together one of his few productive performances of the season to date, posting his second-highest receiving yardage total with the help of a season-long 60 yard reception that went for a touchdown with under three minutes remaining late in the first half. Jeudy appears to be developing some encouraging chemistry with Shedeur Sanders, now having posted a 7-141-1 line on 12 targets over the latter's first three starts.

  • Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Makes splash plays

    Thomas recorded three catches on six targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Colts.

    Jakobi Meyers led the Jaguars in targets, but Thomas delivered several big plays to pace Jacksonville in yardage. He made a particularly impressive one-handed catch down the right sideline late in the first quarter for a 39-yard gain -- his longest of the day. Thomas' other two catches went for 30 and 18 yards, giving him his highest yardage total since Week 6. While he's had a disappointing season, Thomas has a strong chance to remain on track heading into a favorable Week 15 matchup against the Jets.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Rams' Davante Adams: Takes back seat to Nacua

    Adams finished with four receptions on six targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 45-17 rout of the Cardinals.

    Adams suffered his worst fantasy output of the season in Week 14 as the Cardinals keyed in defensively on the touchdown machine. The 32-year-old's scoring streak of six games (featuring 11 touchdowns) finally came to end after QB Matthew Stafford spread the wealth to Los Angeles' other receiving options Sunday. Co-starter Puka Nacua shined with a 7-167-2 receiving line, leaving little work for Adams in the second half of the lopsided blowout. Adams will look to get back to his scoring ways when the Rams host the Lions for a potential offensive showdown in Week 15.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Earns 10 targets

    Meyers recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Colts. He added three rushes for nine yards.

    Meyers continued to solidify himself as Trevor Lawrence's favorite target, and he took advantage of Parker Washington's (hip) absence to log his first double-digit target performance since Week 2. He was inefficient with the opportunity, though he did manage a 14-yard touchdown reception late in the first quarter -- his most impactful play in the blowout win. Meyers has now found the end zone in three straight games and has at least six targets in each of his last four contests.

  • Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Boosts quiet day with TD

    Zaccheaus caught two of three targets for seven yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 14 loss to Green Bay.

    Heading into Sunday, it appeared Zaccheaus might play a larger role with Rome Odunze (foot) sidelined, but it was instead Luther Burden who bumped his production with a 4-67-0 line on a team-high six targets. Zaccheaus did deliver a touchdown grab from one yard out in the third quarter, however. The veteran slot receiver hasn't had more than two catches in a game since Week 9, so he'll remain a very risky fantasy play in Week 15 against Cleveland, especially if Odunze is able to return to action.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Tallies 80 yards

    Pierce recorded five receptions (on eight targets) for 80 yards in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars.

    Pierce and Michael Pittman were the favorite targets of Riley Leonard, with Pierce filling his typical role as a big-play threat. His longest catch of the day went for 29 yards, the majority of which came after the catch, and he also chipped in long gains of 17 and 16 yards to lead the Colts in receiving yards. Pierce has at least 75 receiving yards in four of his last five games, though that level of production will be tested moving forward with Leonard likely to be under center.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Gets into end zone in Week 14

    Kupp caught two of three targets for 35 yards and a touchdown Sunday in a 37-9 victory versus the Falcons.

    For the first time since Rashid Shaheed joined Seattle, the former Saint had a big role on offense, posting a 4-67-0 line on five targets. With Jaxon Smith-Njigba (7-92-2 on 10 targets) also putting up his usual substantial production, that left just three targets for Kupp. The good news for the veteran wideout's fantasy managers is that one of his two catches went for an 11-yard TD early in the fourth quarter. With that being said, Kupp has now caught three or fewer passes in seven straight games, and with Shaheed potentially trending up in terms of his involvement as a target for Sam Darnold, Kupp figures to remain a risky fantasy play.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Returns kickoff for TD vs. Atlanta

    Shaheed caught four passes (on five targets) for 67 yards during the Seahawks' 37-9 win over the Falcons. He added 148 yards and a touchdown on three kick returns.

    It was a slow scoring affair in the first half, but Shaheed turned Sunday's game on its head with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to open the second half. Week 14 was his best performance as a Seahawk, as he finished second in catches, targets and receiving yards behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba (seven catches on 10 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns). Through 14 regular-season games (nine with the Saints and five with the Seahawks), Shaheed has accumulated 52 catches (on 82 targets) for 603 yards and two touchdowns
