Robinson corralled all four of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Saints.

No player on the Giants posted gaudy numbers Sunday, but Robinson can hang his hat on doing his part by catching every target thrown his way in the rough loss. The 22-year-old has failed to corral just five of his targets over his last six contests while maintaining a steady starting role. Despite his recent improved play, Robinson remains a deep-league option for next Monday's matchup against the Eagles.

Slayton had four receptions on eight targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to New Orleans.

Slayton finished as the Giants' leading receiver on a low-volume passing day, producing modest fantasy results in the process. The 63 yards represented the No. 1 wideout's third-highest yardage total through 14 games this season, highlighting how anemic the Giants' offense has been in 2023. Slayton should continue to operate as New York's top receiver against Philadelphia next Monday, but his fantasy appeal remains limited to those in deeper formats.

Chark secured one of two targets for 18 yards in the Panthers' 9-7 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Chark did make good use of his one reception, but he was limited to under 30 receiving yards for the second straight contest. The speedy veteran hasn't topped three catches or 56 receiving yards in any game since Week 3, keeping his fantasy value significantly capped even in deep formats heading into a Week 16 visit from the Packers.

Mingo secured four of five targets for 32 yards in the Panthers' 9-7 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Mingo led the Panthers in receptions while tying for second in receiving yardage and serving as the runner-up in targets. The rookie second-round pick is still in search of his first career touchdown, but Mingo now has at least four receptions in three of the past four games, which is what passes for reliable in a middling Bryce Young-led air attack.

Aiyuk finished with three receptions on five targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 45-29 rout of the Cardinals.

Christian McCaffrey (three touchdowns) and Deebo Samuel (4-48-2) did the brunt of the damage in the box score Sunday, leaving little work for Aiyuk, who finished with his lowest yardage output in a single game this year. The 25-year-old was coming off of a five-game string of strong performances, so fantasy managers should continue to roll with the stud without hesitation. Aiyuk will attempt to bounce back when the 49ers host the Ravens for Monday Night Football in Week 16.

Cooks recorded two receptions on six targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.

Cooks' six targets were his highest mark since Week 10, though he turned in a dismal performance. His day could have turned out differently had Dak Prescott been able to connect with him on a deep pass on the Cowboys' first offensive possession, but instead he was limited to short-area targets for the rest of the game. With CeeDee Lamb accounting for so many targets in the offense, Cooks will likely remain an inconsistent contributor for the rest of the season.

Samuel recorded five receptions on nine targets for 41 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Rams.

Samuel was overshadowed from a yardage perspective by teammate Terry McLaurin, though he keyed a second-half comeback for the Commanders. He doubled his touchdown total for the season with his two scores, which came from 19 and three yards away. While Samuel isn't likely to replicate this type of performance moving forward, he now has at least five targets in four of his last five games, either finding the end zone or topping 50 receiving yards three times in that span.

Nacua recorded five receptions on eight targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Commanders. He added two rushes for three yards.

Nacua matched Cooper Kupp for the team lead in targets, though his inconsistent production of late continued. His longest catch of the day went for 18 yards, but three of his five receptions went for single-digit yard gains. Overall, Nacua has 50 or fewer yards in four of his last seven games, though he's reached at least 70 yards in his three other contests in that span.

Parker caught all five of his targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to Kansas City.

He had the Patriots' longest gain of the day, a 20-yard reception on the team's second possession that helped set up a field-goal attempt for Chad Ryland that drifted wide left. Parker has had trouble staying on the field this season, missing four games including last week's win over the Steelers, and Sunday's five grabs was his highest total since Week 2. The veteran wideout is still looking for his first touchdown of 2023, but he could find it in Week 16 against a Broncos defense that just coughed up five TD passes to Jared Goff.

McLaurin recorded six receptions on 12 targets for 141 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Rams.

McLaurin entered Sunday's matchup in particularly bad form, as he had failed to top 50 receiving yards in four consecutive games. He turned that around, however, as he managed his first 100-yard receiving game of the season and also found the end zone for the first time since Week 8. His touchdown came midway through the fourth quarter from backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett, and McLaurin narrowly missed a second score on a 48-yard reception on the next offensive possession. While it was a very positive performance for McLaurin, he could have a hard time following it up in a Week 16 matchup against the typically tough Jets secondary.
