  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Bears' DJ Moore: Leading receiver in loss

    Moore caught four of eight targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Browns.

    Tight end Cole Kmet wound up pacing the Bears in receptions, but Moore was the team leader in targets and yards. It was still his worst output since Week 9, but a minor ankle injury that limited him during practice leading up to Sunday's contest could help explain the modest numbers. Moore has posted a 28-330-2 line on 40 targets in four games since Justin Fields returned to the lineup, making him a strong fantasy option in Week 16 against the Cardinals.

  • Noah Brown WR | LV

    Texans' Noah Brown: Big day on 11 targets

    Brown recorded eight receptions on 11 targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Titans.

    With Nico Collins (calf) sidelined, Brown unsurprisingly led the way for Houston pass catchers in terms of targets, yards and receptions. He did the majority of his work in the short areas of the field, though he did manage long gains of 22 and 20 yards. Brown then tacked on a clutch three-yard touchdown catch with 3:03 left in the game that ultimately sent the contest into overtime. Brown's production has largely been dictated by the availability of the team's other wide receivers, as he had failed to record a catch in each of the last two games. However, even if Collins returns, Brown should see a projected bump in production with the likely return of starting quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) for a Week 16 matchup against the Browns.

  • Marquise Brown WR | PHI

    Cardinals' Marquise Brown: Aggravates heel injury

    Brown departed Sunday's game against the 49ers with a heel injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Brown dealt with a heel injury prior to each of the Cardinals' last three contests, and he now has exited early for a second straight game. If he's unable to return, he'll finish Week 15 with no targets on his ledger.

  • Xavier Gipson WR | NYG

    Jets' Xavier Gipson: Six targets in Week 15 loss

    Gipson caught two of six targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Dolphins.

    Gipson tied Garrett Wilson for the team lead in receiving yards and came one target shy of Tyler Conklin's team-leading total as the entire Jets offense struggled. After posting a career-high 77 receiving yards in Week 13 and scoring his first offensive touchdown in Week 14, Gipson maintained a prominent role against the Dolphins despite his lack of success on the stat sheet, which bodes well for his potential involvement in Week 16 against the Commanders. It remains to be seen whether Zach Wilson -- who left Sunday's loss in the first half with a head injury -- or Trevor Siemian will be throwing to Gipson versus Washington.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Paces pass catchers in loss

    Wicks secured six of seven targets for 97 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    The rookie became the latest young Packers pass catcher to enjoy a breakout effort, with the fifth-round pick setting new career highs in receptions and receiving yards. Wicks now has two 90-plus yard tallies in the last four games overall, and he could have a chance at another busy afternoon in a Week 16 road battle versus the Panthers if fellow rookie Jayden Reed (toe) and/or Christian Watson (hamstring) miss the contest.

  • Romeo Doubs WR | NE

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Another quiet performance Sunday

    Doubs secured all three targets for 30 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Doubs disappointingly failed to take advantage of a second consecutive absence on the part of Christian Watson (hamstring), posting another sub-35-yard tally. That's been the case for five of the last seven contests, and Doubs has also gone without a touchdown reception in four straight games. The second-year wideout will look to bounce back on the road in Week 16 against the Panthers, with the possibility that emerging rookie wideout Jayden Reed (toe) sits out in addition to another possible Watson absence perhaps propping up Doubs' outlook.

  • Titans' DeAndre Hopkins: Held to 21 yards

    Hopkins recorded two receptions on nine targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Texans.

    Hopkins was the clear focal point of the Tennessee passing attack, as his nine targets doubled any other player. However, his improved efficiency in recent weeks with Will Levis (leg) disappeared while averaging a minuscule 2.3 yards per target. Positively, Hopkins has at least nine targets in five of eight games with Levis under center, so he should continue to see plenty of opportunity in Week 16 against Seattle if the rookie signal-caller is active.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Just four targets in Week 15

    Wilson caught three of four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Dolphins.

    Wilson finished with a season-low target total and posted his second-fewest receiving yards, one week after notching season highs with 14 targets and 108 receiving yards. Starting quarterback Zach Wilson (head) exited in the second quarter, and things didn't get any better after backup Trevor Siemian came in under center, as Wilson's 29 receiving yards actually tied for the team lead. With Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) unlikely to come back this season now that the Jets have been eliminated from playoff contention, Wilson will likely continue to be hindered by poor quarterback play in Week 16 against the Commanders.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Another TD grab in win

    Evans brought in four of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 34-20 win over the Packers on Sunday.

    Evans played a rare second fiddle to Chris Godwin for the second straight game, although in contrast to Week 14, the gulf between the two players' numbers was expansive. Nevertheless, Evans was able to round out his fantasy day nicely with his 11th touchdown of the campaign, which came on a 19-yard grab early in the second quarter. Evans has followed up a 7-162-1 line in Week 13 against the Panthers with just five receptions for 65 yards over his next two games, but he'll look to bounce back against the Jaguars' inconsistent secondary in a Week 16 home matchup on Christmas Eve.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Contained in Week 15 loss

    London brought in two of three targets for 24 yards in the Falcons' 9-7 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    London's day was disappointing under any context for fantasy managers rolling with him in their playoff games or critical late-season contests, but it was additionally alarming when considering the receiver's season-best 10-172 line on 11 targets in Week 14. London now has his two least productive games since a catchless opener in the last three contests, and he'll look to bounce back against the Colts in a Week 16 home matchup on Christmas Eve.
