  • Treylon Burks WR | WAS

    Commanders' Treylon Burks: Spectacular TD grab in loss

    Burks caught one of four targets for a five-yard touchdown in Sunday night's 27-26 overtime loss to the Broncos.

    With Terry McLaurin not playing full snaps in his return from a quadriceps injury, Burks played 66 percent of the Commanders' offensive snaps against Denver, even though he was also returning from a broken finger. Burks' four targets were still a distant fourth on the team, but he made his lone catch count with a spectacular one-handed touchdown grab in the corner of the end zone. It was Burks' first touchdown catch since Week 13 of his 2022 rookie season with the Titans. With McLaurin and Deebo Samuel healthy, Burks carries minimal fantasy value.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Battles heel injury in Week 13

    Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said after Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers that Harrison exited in the second half of the game due to a heel injury and was unable to return, Jess Root of USA Today reports.

    Back in action Sunday after missing the previous two contests while recovering from an appendectomy, Harrison finished with six catches for 69 yards on seven targets while playing 37 of 61 offensive snaps (61 percent). It's not clear when Harrison sustained the heel injury, but he had an insert placed in his shoe at one point during the contest, only to remove it later on. Harrison was then seen limping around on the field in the second half after catching a pass, prompting the Cardinals to pull him from the contest. The second-year wideout will undergo further evaluation, so his status for next Sunday's matchup with the Rams is cloudy for the time being.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Looking iffy for Week 14

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that he doesn't expect to have a clear idea on whether St. Brown (ankle) will be available for Thursday's matchup with the Cowboys until game day, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    St. Brown exited Detroit's Thanksgiving Day loss to the Packers with a left low-ankle sprain, an injury that, while not overly serious, could put the wideout at risk of missing a game or two. The Lions will post their first Week 14 injury report Monday, which will provide more insight into St. Brown's health as Thursday's game approaches. While St. Brown doesn't necessarily need to practice this week in order to play Thursday, even limited participation at some point would increase his odds of being able to suit up against Dallas.

  • Jaylin Noel WR | HOU

    Texans' Jaylin Noel: Targeted once in win

    Noel did not catch his lone target and amassed 106 return yards on two punts and three kickoffs in Sunday's 20-16 win over Indianapolis in Week 13.

    This has been the pattern for three consecutive games, as Noel barely makes a dent on offense but is heavily involved on special teams. The silver lining for his role on offense is that Sunday's target came in the red zone with C.J. Stroud back under center. Noel has caught 20 of 28 targets (including four in the red zone) for 213 yards and one touchdown this season.

  • Gage Larvadain WR | CLE

    Browns' Gage Larvadain: Impacted by wind

    Larvadain caught two of three targets for 23 yards and returned three punts for three yards in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers in Week 13.

    Sunday's gusty winds in Cleveland challenged both teams, particularly on offense, but it also appeared to impact Larvadain on special teams. He muffed all three of his returns and lost one of them early in the fourth quarter. It led to a San Francisco touchdown that left the Browns needing to make up a two-touchdown deficit, a challenge for an offense that isn't structured to score in volume. Larvadain's two catches Sunday were his first since Week 6, and the rookie now has four catches on nine targets for 45 yards through eight games while adding 142 punt return yards.

  • Malachi Corley WR | CLE

    Browns' Malachi Corley: Negative impact in loss

    Corley was not targeted, had one carry for nine yards and returned four kickoffs for 73 yards in Sunday's 26-8 loss to San Francisco in Week 13.

    Under the NFL's new kickoff formation, returners typically average more than the 18 yards Corley managed Sunday. Unfortunately, he fielded one kick inches from the sideline and fell out of bounds. Had he allowed the kick to roll out of bounds, the Browns' struggling offense would have begun its possession at their own 40-yard line instead of in the shadow of its own goal-line. The Browns' kick returners had a bad day all around while fighting windy conditions, as punt returner Gage Larvadain committed three fumbles and lost one of them.

  • Isaiah Bond WR | CLE

    Browns' Isaiah Bond: Gets two touches in loss

    Bond secured one of two targets for 18 yards and gained another nine yards on one carry in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers in Week 13.

    It's hard to get excited about anything related to the Cleveland's passing attack, but Bond's arrow appeared to be pointing slightly upward after he and quarterback Shedeur Sanders hooked up on a 52-yard play in Week 12. The target he didn't catch in Week 13 was on another deep throw. The rookie wideout has three catches on four targets for 76 yards in the two games in which the offense has been led by Sanders.

  • Cedric Tillman WR | CLE

    Browns' Cedric Tillman: Targeted once in loss

    Tillman failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 26-8 loss to San Francisco in Week 13.

    Tillman's lone target came early in the second quarter on a day when the wind impacted both team's quarterbacks. He had the second-most snaps among Cleveland's wide receivers, but the Browns' offense isn't structured for leading wideout Jerry Jeudy to hold much fantasy value, much less Tillman as its No. 2. Tillman has one catch on four targets the last two games with Shedeur Sanders under center, and his only two touchdowns this season came during the first two weeks of the season when Joe Flacco was chucking the ball.

  • Troy Franklin WR | DEN

    Broncos' Troy Franklin: Cools off on SNF

    Franklin had two receptions on three targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 27-26 overtime win over the Commanders.

    Franklin cooled off considerably after seemingly taking over the No. 1 WR role for the Broncos in recent weeks. Courtland Sutton reclaimed that honor with a clean 5-62-1 receiving line that dwarfed Franklin's production on the national stage. The latter is still producing a strong sophomore campaign with 48 receptions for 530 yards and five touchdowns across 12 contests, but it hasn't been a smooth ride getting there. Franklin has been held under 40 receiving yards in half of his appearances this season, making him a volatile starting option with plenty of upside against the Raiders in Week 14.

  • Deebo Samuel WR | WAS

    Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Overshadowed in OT loss

    Samuel recorded five receptions on seven targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 27-26 overtime loss to the Broncos.

    Samuel was overshadowed by strong showings from both Terry McLaurin and Zach Ertz, but he had a solid performance of his own. He did the majority of his damage in overtime, recording a 38-yard reception down the right sideline that came two yards shy of the end zone. Samuel has at least five targets in each of his last five games, and his usage down the field has started to rebound, as he has three receptions of at least 20 yards combined across his last two games.
