Keon Coleman WR | BUF
Bills' Keon Coleman: Manages two catches against Bengals
Coleman logged two receptions on three targets for 16 yards Sunday in a 39-34 Week 14 win over Cincinnati.
On a snowy Sunday, Josh Allen completed passes to nine different teammates, with much of his production going to tight ends Dawson Knox (6-93-0) and Dalton Kincaid (4-41-1). None of Buffalo's wide receivers had more than two catches or 21 yards, though Khalil Shakir did manage a TD reception. Coleman was a healthy scratch for both Week 11 and Week 12 due to disciplinary measures, and in two games since returning to action, he's tallied four catches on six targets for 25 yards and a touchdown.

Isaiah Bond WR | CLE
Browns' Isaiah Bond: Shut out in loss
Bond failed to secure either of his two targets in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Titans in Week 14.
Bond's two targets came on deep throws, as he had quarterback Shedeur Sanders have flashed some long-ball chemistry the last three games. Unfortunately for the rookie, Bond was shut out for the fourth time in the last six games. Cleveland's passing offense was the best its been since the Joe Flacco days (Weeks 1 and 2), which offers hope that Bond could evolve into a viable threat over the final few weeks of the season.

Gabe Davis WR | BUF
Bills' Gabe Davis: Nabs two catches in Week 14 victory
Davis finished Sunday's 39-34 victory versus the Bengals with two catches on two targets for 21 yards.
Josh Allen spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers on a snowy Sunday, with much of his production going to tight ends Dawson Knox (6-93-0) and Dalton Kincaid (4-41-1). Among the Bills' wideouts, Davis had the most receiving yards, though Khalil Shakir finished with the better fantasy line due to hauling in a touchdown. Davis has seven catches on 10 targets for 88 yards through four games heading into a Week 15 road battle in New England.

Gage Larvadain WR | CLE
Browns' Gage Larvadain: Records two catches in loss
Larvadain caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 31-29 loss to Tennessee in Week 14. He also returned four punts for 16 yards.
Larvadain recorded multiple targets for a second straight week following a five-game stretch in which he was targeted just twice (zero catches). An injury to fellow depth wideout Malachi Corley (concussion) could create more opportunities for Larvadain going forward. He also muffed one punt but recovered it, giving him four muffs in the last two games.

Elic Ayomanor WR | TEN
Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Hauls in TD in Week 14 win
Ayomanor caught one of three targets for a 14-yard touchdown Sunday in a 31-29 victory versus Cleveland.
Ayomanor got off to a promising start when he took a 14-yard pass from Cam Ward into the end zone early in the first quarter. However, that was the extent of the rookie wideout's production, as he didn't catch either of the other two balls thrown his way. Ayomanor finished fourth on the Titans in targets behind WR Chimere Dike (eight), WR Van Jefferson (four) and RB Tyjae Spears (four). With just four catches on 14 targets for 30 yards combined over his past three games, Ayomanor will be a very shaky fantasy play in Week 15 versus the 49ers.

Michael Pittman WR | PIT
Colts' Michael Pittman: Targeted 12 times
Pittman recorded nine receptions on 12 targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars.
Pittman had been on the wrong end of the target distribution among Colts' pass catchers in recent weeks, but he rebounded to lead the team in opportunity in Week 14. He was targeted primarily in short areas of the field by Riley Leonard, leading to a modest yardage total, though he did manage a long 24-yard catch shortly after halftime. Pittman nearly had an even bigger day, as he appeared to have a 16-yard touchdown that was ultimately nullified by a borderline pass interference call. While this was an encouraging performance, Pittman could struggle down the stretch due to Daniel Jones (Achilles) being out for the rest of the year.

Chimere Dike WR | TEN
Titans' Chimere Dike: Finds end zone in win
Dike brought in five of eight targets for 24 yards and a touchdown, returned one kickoff for 41 yards and ran back one punt for minus-2 yards in the Titans' 31-29 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Dike set the pace in receptions and targets on the afternoon for the Titans while also leading the team's wide receivers in yardage on a day when Cam Ward threw for just 117 yards. It was Dike's second five-catch tally in three games, while his five-yard catch with under 10 minutes remaining served as his third from scrimmage. Dike will continue to operate as the No. 2 receiver in Tennessee's typically low-volume passing attack during a Week 15 road matchup against the 49ers.

Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Snags one catch in loss
Tillman caught one of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Titans in Week 14.
Tillman entered Week 14 with just one catch for five yards in the previous two games. With the Browns' passing offense showing some life Sunday under quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who completed 23 of 42 passes for 364 yards, there's hope that secondary receivers like Tillman could be useful over the final four games.

Christian Watson WR | GB
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.
