  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Just two targets vs. Rams

    Legette caught one of two targets for one yard in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Rams.

    The second-year pro from South Carolina didn't benefit from the Panthers' run-heavy approach (40 rush attempts) during Sunday's win, failing to reach double-digit receiving yards for the third time this season. When Carolina did pass, Legette was outshined by Jalen Coker and Tetairoa McMillan, who combined to catch five of eight targets for 117 yards and two touchdowns. Legette now has 28 catches on 53 targets for 287 yards and three touchdowns through 11 games, and his week-to-week volatility makes him a risky fantasy option for the remainder of the year.

  • Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Done for day

    Thornton (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Chargers.

    Thornton took a blow to the head in the second half, and he is now officially done for the day with a concussion. The wide receiver caught one of two targets for 11 yards prior to his departure.

  • Chris Moore WR | WAS

    Commanders' Chris Moore: Active versus Broncos

    Moore (illness) will play in Washington's matchup versus Denver on Sunday.

    Moore was added to the injury report earlier in the day but will seemingly play through his illness. However, the 32-year-old likely will see limited action, as both Terry McLaurin and Treylon Burks are back in the lineup.

  • Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Possible concussion

    Thornton is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Thornton caught one pass (on two targets) for 11 yards before exiting the game, and he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Jack Bech and Alex Bachman are slated for more offensive snaps for as long as Thornton is out of the game.

  • Jayden Higgins WR | HOU

    Texans' Jayden Higgins: Stays hot in Week 13 win

    Higgins brought in all five targets for 65 yards in the Texans' 20-16 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Higgins tied for second on the Texans with Nico Collins in receptions while also checking in as the runner-up to his teammate in receiving yards on the afternoon. The rookie had flashed plenty of chemistry with fill-in quarterback Davis Mills over the previous three games -- Higgins posted a 13-135-2 line over that span -- so it was particularly encouraging for fantasy managers to see Higgins establish a new single-game career-high yardage total with C.J. Stroud back under center. Higgins should remain an essential part of the air attack in a Week 14 road showdown against the Chiefs next Sunday night.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Quiet day in Week 13 win

    Waddle brought in three of six targets for 40 yards in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Waddle finished with the second-most receiving yards on the afternoon for the Dolphins after a slow start, and he also set the pace in targets. Waddle's yardage total, his lowest since Week 7, wasn't as extraordinary when considering Tua Tagovailoa passed for only 157 yards overall on the day. Waddle should remain a key part of the air attack in a Week 14 road matchup against the Jets.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Paces Colts' pass catchers

    Pierce recorded four receptions on five targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans.

    The Colts distributed targets evenly among their pass catchers, but Pierce had the benefit of consistently working as a deep threat. All four of his receptions went for at least 18 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown catch midway through the second quarter -- his second of the season. Pierce has at least 70 receiving yards in four of his last six games and has emerged as one of Daniel Jones' most reliable pass catchers.

  • Jets' Isaiah Williams: Nearly scores on kickoff return

    Williams didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons. He also had an 83-yard kickoff return and a 16-yard punt return.

    Williams didn't make an impact on offense, but both of his returns on special teams helped lead to field goals. His 83-yard kickoff return in the third quarter set up an instant scoring opportunity for the Jets by getting the ball to Atlanta's 15-yard line, and Williams' 16-yard punt return preceded 19 yards of gains from the Jets' offense, which was just enough to set up Nick Folk's game-winning 56-yard field goal on the game's final play. Outside of formats that reward return yards, Williams will remain off the fantasy radar in Week 14 against the Dolphins.

  • Jalen Coker WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jalen Coker: First trip to end zone in 2025

    Coker caught four of six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Rams.

    The 74 yards were a season high for Coker, who capped his performance with a 33-yard TD from Bryce Young in the third quarter, his first score of the season. The second-year wideout missed the beginning of the campaign with a quadriceps strain, but he looks fully healthy now. Coker has caught at least three passes in four straight games, posting a 14-179-1 line on 18 targets during that stretch. He'll get a breather during the Panthers' bye next week before taking on the Saints in Week 15.

  • Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Hauls in game-winning TD

    McMillan caught one of two targets for a 43-yard touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Rams.

    While the rookie wideout was held in check for three quarters, McMillan finally got free on a fourth-down play in the fourth and hauled in a touchdown from Bryce Young for the go-ahead score. McMillan has gotten into the end zone in three straight games, producing an 11-208-4 line on 21 targets as he establishes himself as Young's go-to option in clutch situations. McMillan will get some rest during next week's bye before taking aim at the Saints in Week 15.
