Jennings had three receptions on four targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-19 win over Philadelphia.

Jennings finally got into the scoring column in 2023 after taking a short pass from Brock Purdy early in the fourth quarter and following a convoy of blockers to the end zone early in the fourth quarter. The 49ers' slot receiver was on the field for 29 snaps (49 percent), which wasn't far off from his season average, but Jennings' playing time doesn't tend to correlate with his targets -- in Week 8 against Cincinnati, the wideout did not receive a target despite playing 84 percent of the offense's snaps. This volatility in usage limits Jennings' value to deep leagues heading into a Week 14 tilt against Seattle.

Skowronek caught two of three targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 36-19 victory against the Browns.

With the Rams receiving corps going through a modicum of injuries over the past few weeks, Skowronek has enjoyed a slight uptick in snaps on offense alongside his usual role on special teams, culminating with a season-high 24 snaps in Sunday's contest. While fantasy relevance is still a reach given the huge target shares demanded by Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp and Kyren Williams, all three have been nursing injuries throughout the entirety of the season, giving Skowronek, Demarcus Robinson and Austin Trammell some hope of a breakthrough. The Rams offense may find the sledding significantly more difficult in Week 14, however, as the vaunted (and rested) Ravens defense lays in wait.

Atwell secured one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 36-19 victory against the Browns.

For the second straight week, Atwell took the field for just over a third of the Rams' snaps on offense, the fourth most among the Rams' wideouts behind Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua and Demarcus Robinson. Atwell's nine receiving yards ties his lowest output of the season, and notably, Robinson had a big day with four catches for 55 yards and a touchdown, which may be more evidence that Atwell's role on offense truly is shrinking to more of a backup role alongside Ben Skowronek and Austin Trammell. A stingy Ravens pass defense lies next in Week 14, which will make a rebound performance for Atwell a tall order.

Woods played 32 snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 22-17 win over Denver in Week 13.

Woods saw a season-low snap count, even though Tank Dell was limited to nine snaps following a season-ending leg injury. Noah Brown joined Nico Collins as the top two receivers after Dell left the contest, and John Metchie (24 snaps, three targets) was near Woods in terms of playing time. Woods opened the season as a starter at wideout alongside Collins but had dropped to fourth on the depth chart prior to Dell's injury. Woods did have an eight-target game as recently as Week 11, however.

Metchie caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos in Week 13.

Metchie was on the field for 24 snaps, his second-highest total this season, with his bump in usage coming due to Tank Dell sustaining a season-ending leg injury. Noah Brown, who returned after missing two weeks due to a knee injury, should also see an uptick in targets as the Texans navigate the rest of the season without Dell.

Brown failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 22-17 win over Denver in Week 13.

Brown returned from a two-week absence due to a knee injury and played 55 snaps (81 percent), tied with Nico Collins for most at wideout. Prior to the injury, Brown played a crucial role in wins over Tampa Bay and Cincinnati, catching 13 of 14 targets for 325 yards and a touchdown. The Texans will need a return to that form after Tank Dell suffered a season-ending leg injury Sunday. Brown is not a direct replacement for Dell's field-stretching ability, but he's expected to get more balls thrown his way as a result of the injury. Robert Woods and John Metchie could also get increased looks.

Proche returned two punts for 30 yards and did not play on offense in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Rams in Week 13.

By the end of the game, Proche was sitting fourth on the depth chart, but he never stepped on the field with the offense. Amari Cooper sustained a concussion in the second quarter and left the game, but head coach Kevin Stefanski opted to get by with a trio of Elijah Moore, Cedric Tillman and David Bell. Proche has played a total of nine snaps with the offense and been targeted once through nine games.

Bell secured both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Rams in Week 13.

Bell played a season-high 28 snaps on offense, as the Browns lost Amari Cooper to a concussion during the second quarter. Bell's playing time and usage is dependent on Cooper's health heading into Week 14 at home against Jacksonville. Bell, a second-year wideout, has just six catches (11 targets) for 45 yards over 10 games.

Tillman caught two of six targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Rams in Week 13.

Tillman led the team's wideouts with 66 snaps and had a season high in targets. The rookie has been a regular presence on the field the last five weeks but it's only been recently that the usage translated into targets; Tillman's seen 11 passes thrown his way the last two weeks. Top wide receiver Amari Cooper sustained a concussion Sunday, leaving Tillman, Elijah Moore and David Bell as the top three healthy wideouts.

Robinson caught four of five targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Browns.

It was a season-best performance for the veteran wideout, and Robinson got into the end zone for the first time this year on a seven-yard strike from Matthew Stafford late in the third quarter. Robinson's increased role in the offense the last couple weeks has coincided with a resurgence from Stafford, but he remains firmly behind Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp on the depth chart heading into a Week 14 clash with the Ravens.
