Dotson caught his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 28-20 loss at the Rams.

Washington's fourth-quarter QB switch from Sam Howell to Jacoby Brissett did wonders for Terry McLaurin, who caught three passes for 93 yards and a touchdown in the final frame. Curtis Samuel also had a big day with a pair of scores among his nine targets, while Dotson didn't see a single target until midway through the fourth quarter and now ranks third on the team in targets this season (75, 5.4 per game). A late turnaround isn't entirely out of the question, but Dotson doesn't seem especially likely to breakthrough in Week 16 against an excellent Jets secondary.

Moore caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bears in Week 15.

Moore, who's had a mini resurgence with Joe Flacco under center, was barely noticeable in the Browns' comeback win. Both the targets and yards were his second fewest of the season. Moore entered the contest averaging four catches on eight targets for 55 yards over the previous five weeks. Amari Cooper and David Njoku are clearly Flacco's top options, but Moore is also competing for looks with rookie Cedric Tillman, who garnered four catches for 52 yards on eight targets Sunday.

Moore caught two of three targets for five yards and had one rushing attempt for three yards in Sunday's 45-29 loss to San Francisco.

Arizona's receiving corps received healthy reinforcements coming out of the bye week, but Moore's role remained nearly the same as while his teammates were on the shelf. The three combined touches were the most for the utility wideout since Week 11 at Houston. Moore will likely struggle to generate fantasy value on so few touches when the Cardinals take on the Bears next Sunday.

Wilson (neck) was targeted three times but did not record a reception in Sunday's 45-29 loss to the 49ers.

Wilson returned from a neck injury that cost him Arizona's last three games leading into the bye week. The 23-year-old failled to record a reception on three targets as he was eased back into action against San Francisco. While his stat line would normally sour any potential fantasy appeal, Wilson could see his role on offense increase if starter Marquise Brown (heel) is unable to suit up against Chicago next Sunday after re-aggravating the same heel injury for the second week in a row.

Jones caught five of eight targets for 59 yards before suffering a hamstring injury in the second half of Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens, according to Jaguars' beat reporter John Shipley.

Jones did not return to the game, and head coach Doug Pederson commented that the injury "looked bad on the field." This isn't great news for Jones, who was already dealing with a knee injury prior to leaving Sunday's contest. The team will likely release more details in the coming days as Jones receives treatment. For the time being, the wideout should be considered questionable for next Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay.

Ridley finished with five receptions and 39 yards off 12 targets in Sunday's 23-7 loss to Baltimore.

Ridley posted a similarly inffefficient stat line to last week's four-catch, 53-yard performance off 13 targets. The absence of Christian Kirk (groin) has resulted in back-to-back games with double-digit targets for Ridley after he reached that total just twice in his previous 12 contests. Despite the increased attention, the results haven't been there for the wideout since quarterback Trevor Lawrence suffered, and continues to play through, a high-ankle sprain back in Week 13. That said, Ridley is still a viable starting option for next Sunday's tilt against Tampa Bay based on his target volume alone.

Bateman caught three of six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Jaguars.

Bateman tied tight end Isaiah Likely for the team lead in targets, while Odell Beckham and Zay Flowers were held to just one catch apiece on five combined targets. The 24-year-old wideout set new season highs in both targets (six) and receiving yards (39). While his uptick in usage was encouraging, Bateman remains stuck on one touchdown heading into a Week 16 matchup with the 49ers.

Flowers caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Jaguars.

Flowers barely saw any involvement as the Ravens went with a run-heavy approach, while tight end Isaiah Likely accounted for 70 of Lamar Jackson's 171 passing yards as well as Jackson's lone passing touchdown. This was a disappointing step back for the rookie wide receiver, who had 18 targets over the previous two games and came into Sunday's win on a two-game touchdown streak. Flowers will look to bounce back in a high-profile Monday Night Football clash with the 49ers in Week 16.

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.
