  • David Sills WR | ATL

    Falcons' David Sills: Second straight game with TD

    Sills caught two of four targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets.

    Sills' nine-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter gave him a two-game touchdown streak after the 29-year-old wide receiver hadn't scored in any of his first 25 regular-season NFL games. He has accounted for two of Kirk Cousins' three touchdown passes this season, showing some decent chemistry with the veteran quarterback, but Sills hasn't exceeded 16 receiving yards in a game this season heading into a Week 14 home game against the Seahawks.

  • Jets' John Metchie: Eight targets in win over Falcons

    Metchie caught four of eight targets for 19 yards and rushed once for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.

    Metchie's brief touchdown streak was halted at two games, but he set a new season high in targets, topping his Week 12 total against the Ravens by one target. The trade acquisition from Philadelphia has been a key component in the Jets' new-look passing game in recent weeks, and Metchie should continue to play a significant role in Week 14 against the Dolphins.

  • Xavier Smith WR | LAR

    Rams' Xavier Smith: Career-best effort in Carolina

    Smith caught all three of his targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.

    The second-year wideout missed last week's game due to a concussion, but he returned to action with a bang, setting career highs in catches and yardage while leading the Rams in receiving yards. Most of the real estate was gained on a 51-yard connection with Matthew Stafford that helped set up a Blake Corum TD right before halftime. Smith's biggest impact this season prior to Sunday had come as a kick returner -- he has 274 kickoff-return yards and 142 punt-return yards through his first 10 games -- but he's making a case to move past Jordan Whittington into the No. 3 spot on the WR depth chart heading into a Week 14 tilt against the Cardinals.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | ATL

    Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Five targets in London's absence

    Mooney caught two of five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets.

    Mooney led all Falcons wide receivers in targets but finished third on the team in that category behind Kyle Pitts (eight) and Bijan Robinson (seven) as Atlanta played without top wide receiver Drake London (knee) for a second consecutive game. Mooney had 74 yards and a touchdown in the first game London missed, but that performance was fueled by a 49-yard touchdown catch. If London remains sidelined in Week 14, Mooney would likely remain the de facto top wide receiver for the Falcons against Seattle's talented secondary.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Rams' Davante Adams: Two more scores in Sunday's loss

    Adams caught four of five targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.

    Another week, another couple of red-zone TDs for the veteran wideout, who connected with Matthew Stafford for a four-yard score in the first quarter and a seven-yard strike in the second. Adams is up to a league-leading 14 touchdowns in 12 games in his first season with the Rams, the first time he's reached that mark since 2022, and his career high of 18 TDs from 2020 with the Packers is firmly in his sights. Adams will look to extend his current TD streak to six games in Week 14 against the Cardinals.

  • Saints' Devaughn Vele: Hauls in eight passes Sunday

    Vele gathered in all eight targets for 93 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 21-17 defeat against the Dolphins.

    Vele delivered a standout performance in his second game since becoming the Saints' WR2. He finished second on the team in targets behind tight end Juwan Johnson (nine) and ahead of WR1 Chris Olave (seven) - the latter of whom suited up after being listed as questionable with back spasms. Vele logged a career high in receiving yards while tying his career high for catches, and he logged his first touchdown reception since Week 2. After recording just six catches over his first nine appearances this season, the second-year wideout has now accrued 11 catches for 130 yards and a touchdown across the last two games. Another solid performance for Vele would go a long way toward establishing his reliability for fantasy purposes. New Orleans is next in action Week 14 versus Tampa Bay

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Six grabs in loss to Carolina

    Nacua caught six of nine targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.

    Davante Adams was on the other end of both of Matthew Stafford's TD passes on the day, but Nacua led the Rams in catches and targets. Nacua has hauled in at least five passes in five straight games since returning from an ankle sprain in Week 9, racking up a 32-403-2 line on 42 targets over that stretch. The third-year wideout will look to keep rolling in a Week 14 divisional clash with the Cardinals.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Scores TD in Week 14

    Olave gathered in four of seven targets for 47 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 21-17 defeat to the Dolphins.

    Olave suited up after dealing with back spasms that left him questionable to play Week 13. The wideout finished third on the Saints in targets, as Devaughn Vele logged eight targets while tight end Juwan Johnson led the team with nine. Olave still scored his second touchdown in the last three games, connecting with rookie QB Tyler Shough for the second time since he became the Saints' starter Week 9. Despite the Saints' quarterback struggles, Olave's consistency and WR1 usage make him a no-brainer starting option for fantasy purposes. The Saints next face the Buccaneers in Week 14.

  • Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Two catches in return

    Thomas recorded two receptions on three targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Titans.

    Thomas returned from a three-game absence caused by an ankle injury, but his disappointing season continued. The Jaguars were able to rely relatively heavily on their run game while playing with at least a two-score lead for most of the game, but Thomas still finished tied for third on the team in targets. While he converted receptions of 17 and 11 yards, Thomas has now been held below 50 receiving yards in five of his nine games on the campaign.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Three grabs against Niners

    Jeudy caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers.

    Four different Cleveland players tied for the team lead with three catches, and Jeudy's yardage was second to Harold Fannin's 43. Both teams had trouble passing the ball in windy conditions, but Jeudy's become an afterthought in the Browns' offense regardless of the weather. Over two-plus games since Shedeur Sanders has been under center, the veteran wideout has just a 7-86-0 line on 14 targets. Jeudy will try to find a way to make an impact in Week 14 against the Titans.
