  • 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

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Jets' Allen Lazard: Doesn't catch lone target

    Lazard didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

    Lazard was targeted exactly once for the second consecutive game, as he remains a nonfactor even as the Jets continue to play without Garrett Wilson (knee), who is eligible to return from IR in Week 15 against the Jaguars. Lazard has just nine catches for 64 yards and one touchdown in 2025.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Thriving in No. 1 receiver role

    Wilson corralled 11 of 16 targets for 142 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Rams.

    Wilson resumed the top wideout role for Arizona with Marvin Harrison (heel) back on the sidelines, and the results were the same as we saw in Weeks 11 and 12. The 25-year-old Wilson elevated his game for the third time in Harrison's absence, finishing with double-digit receptions in all three contests. Wilson completed the fantasy explosion with a pair of trips to the end zone, doubling the season total he entered Sunday's loss with. Harrison's Week 15 status is still uncertain, but Wilson should be treated as a WR1 in fantasy if the former misses next Sunday's matchup against Houston.

  • Josh Downs WR | IND

    Colts' Josh Downs: Catches four passes vs. JAX

    Downs caught four of five targets for 23 yards during the Colts' 36-19 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Downs' four catches were his most since Week 9 against the Steelers, and he finished third in both catches and receiving yards behind Alec Pierce (five catches for 80 yards) and Michael Pittman (nine catches for 79 yards). Downs has just eight receptions (on 17 targets) over his last three games, and his fantasy floor figures to be lower for the rest of the season after Daniel Jones tore his right Achilles during the first quarter of Sunday's loss. With Anthony Richardson (eye) on injured reserve and no timeline for a return, the Colts will turn to rookie sixth-rounder Riley Leonard for the home stretch of the 2025 regular season, starting with a Week 15 road clash against the Seahawks on Sunday, Dec. 14.

  • Saints' Devaughn Vele: Leads NOLA wideouts vs. Tampa Bay

    Vele caught three passes (on five targets) for 40 yards during the Saints' 24-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    There weren't many targets to go around Sunday as Tyler Shough completed just 13 of 20 passes for 144 yards, but Vele led all Saints pass catchers with 40 receiving yards and finished tied with Chris Olave for the second-most receptions behind Juwan Johnson (four). Vele has been more involved in the Saints' offense in the three games since the Week 11 bye, producing a 14-170-1 line (on 20 targets) over that span. Up next for Vele and the Saints is a Week 15 home tilt against the Panthers.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Biggest fantasy output of 2025

    Nacua finished with seven receptions on 11 targets for 167 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 45-17 blowout win over Arizona.

    Nacua absolutely went off against the Cardinals' secondary Sunday, averaging a whopping 23.9 yards per reception in the one-sided victory. The BYU product fell just short of the high-water mark of 170 yards he posted back in Week 4, but he still finished with his highest fantasy score to date in 2025 after producing his first multi-score game of the season. Nacua has taken a backseat to co-star WR Davante Adams (4-29-0) at times, but the inverse was true in Week 14. The 24-year-old Nacua just matched his previous career high of six touchdown receptions from his standout rookie campaign, and he currently sits seven catches shy of a second 100-reception season. Fantasy managers should continue to roll out Nacua with confidence for next Sunday's potential shootout against the Lions.

  • Romeo Doubs WR | GB

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Blanked in Week 14 win

    Doubs failed to haul in either of his two targets during the Packers' 28-21 win over the Bears on Sunday.

    Doubs' role in the offense fizzled in Week 14, no doubt in large part due to the return of Jayden Reed from injured reserve. It is worth noting that Jordan Love targeted 10 different pass catchers, and no Packers player saw more than four targets during Sunday's game. It was the first time Doubs failed to record a catch this season, and the third-year wide receiver sits at a 45-542-5 line on 73 targets through 13 regular-season games. He'll look to bounce back in Week 15 against the Broncos on Sunday, Dec. 14.

  • Packers' Matthew Golden: Falls out of favor

    Golden (wrist) failed to bring in his only target in Sunday's 28-21 win over Chicago.

    Golden fell out of favor after returning from a two-game layoff due to a wrist injury. The first-round rookie watched six teammates finish with higher target counts in the win. This was the concern regarding Golden's usage now that Green Bay's receiver room is back at full strength. Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder) was activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's contest and was far more involved than Golden, making the former the more desirable Packers' returning receiver to go after on the wire ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Denver.
