Atwell caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 51-14 win over Denver.

Atwell failed to gain any traction in Baker Mayfield's second start with the Rams, finishing with a mediocre stat line despite the crooked score. The speedy wideout didn't receive a rushing attempt after losing yardage on the ground in his last two outings. Atwell's recent struggles should keep him off the fantasy radar for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

Jefferson had three receptions (five targets) for 19 yards in Sunday's 51-14 win over the Broncos.

Jefferson failed to post notable numbers in a game during which the Rams scored five offensive touchdowns. Perhaps the 26-year-old is best suited in a complementary role instead of being asked to be a team's top option. Jefferson will attempt to build some chemistry with quarterback Baker Mayfield when the Rams take on the Chargers on Sunday.

Sutton (hamstring) caught five of seven targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy managers welcomed Sutton back after a two-week layoff due to a bum hamstring. The 27-year-old performed well and didn't appear to suffer any setbacks in the blowout loss. Sutton could be in line for heavy usage if the Broncos have to play catch up with Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City's high-powered offense on New Year's Day.

Waddle caught five of six targets for 143 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-20 loss to Green Bay.

Most of his production came in the first half, including an 84-yard TD in the first quarter, but Miami's offense imploded in the second half. Waddle has posted back-to-back 100-yard performances, giving him six on the season, and the second-year wideout has already established new career highs in receiving yards (1,260) and touchdowns (8) heading into a Week 17 clash with the Patriots.

Hill caught four of six targets for 103 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Packers.

The Dolphins' offense could do nothing wrong in the first half and almost nothing right in the second, otherwise Hill might have put together an even bigger performance. It's the speedster's seventh 100-yard game of the season, but he remains behind Justin Jefferson in the race for the NFL receiving yards crown heading into a Week 17 road clash with the Patriots.

Jeudy had six receptions (10 targets) for 117 yards in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.

Jeudy was the lone bright spot in yet another forgettable performance from the Broncos offense. The 23-year-old put his route-running skills on full display when he ran a crisp sluggo that beat two Los Angeles defenders for a 36-yard gain. Jeudy set a new high-water mark in receiving yards with this standout effort, bringing his season total up to 780 yards through 13 starts. The Broncos will face the Chiefs on Jan. 1, and Jeudy will match up with a defense that he torched for three touchdowns when they met in Week 14.

McCloud broke off a 71-yard touchdown run and did not catch his lone target in Saturday's 37-20 win over Washington.

McCloud did his best Deebo Samuel (knee/ankle) impression when he took a wide zone handoff for a 71-yard touchdown. It was the return specialist's fourth rushing attempt this season, with the previous three tallying just seven yards back in Week 14. McCloud's usage as a receiver hasn't increased in the two games sans Samuel, so this unique touchdown run shouldn't have fantasy managers rushing to the waiver wire ahead of San Francisco's Week 17 matchup against Las Vegas.

Doubs caught three of six targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Dolphins.

The rookie saw similar volume to what he did last week in his return from an ankle injury, finishing behind Christian Watson and Allen Lazard in catches and targets. Watson left at halftime with a hip injury, however, and if he's sidelined in Week 17, Doubs could see his role grow against a Vikings secondary that's been vulnerable almost all year.

Jennings had two receptions (three targets) for 21 yards in Saturday's 37-20 win over Washington.

Jennings received another start in place of the injured Deebo Samuel (knee/ankle), logging 46 offensive snaps (88 percent) and finishing third in team targets. The 25-year-old did not experience an increase in production despite seeing his regular snap count double in these two starts. Samuel's earliest timetable could have him returning ahead of a Week 17 matchup against the Raiders. If he is not ready to return, Jennings would garner another start -- with limited upside -- on New Year's Day.

Lazard caught five of 11 targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Dolphins.

Christian Watson (hip) had a big first half before getting hurt, so Lazard wound up leading the Packers in targets and receiving yards while finishing one reception behind Watson. If the rookie wideout isn't ready to go for Week 17 against the Vikings, Lazard figures to be Aaron Rodgers' top option against a Minnesota secondary that has been vulnerable almost all year.
