Williams was targeted once but did not catch a pass during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jets.

The Lions simply don't seem willing to put too much on Williams' plate early on in his career. Not only did the explosive rookie again run behind a clear top trio of Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark and Josh Reynolds, but Williams has yet to overtake Kalif Raymond for the No. 4 role, either. It's entirely possible fantasy managers will have to wait until next season before Williams can be counted on for statistical production.

Reynolds was not targeted with a pass during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jets.

Reynolds was a complete afterthought in the passing game on a day the Jets forced the Lions to direct 29 of 38 pass attempts underneath to running backs, tight ends, and slot receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. With Jameson Williams yet to pose much of a threat to Reynolds snap count, the fifth-year wideout will look to bounce back in Week 16 against the Panthers.

Valdes-Scantling secured three of five targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 30-24 overtime win over the Texans on Sunday.

The speedy wideout recorded a touchdown for the first time since Week 10 and only his second time all season on an impressive sliding four-yard grab in the right side of the end zone with 14 seconds remaining in the first half. Otherwise, MVS once again had a modest role on a prolific day for the Chiefs' air attack, posting his fourth sub-30-yard receiving day in the last seven games. Valdes-Scantling will next take aim at an inconsistent Seahawks secondary in a Week 16 home matchup Saturday afternoon.

Moore brought in four of nine targets for 42 yards in the Texans' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Moore once again played the role of No. 1 receiver with Brandin Cooks (calf) and Nico Collins (foot) both sidelined, but unlike a stellar Week 14 showing against the Cowboys when he produced a 10-124-1 tally on 11 targets, the enhanced opportunity didn't lead to very fantasy-friendly numbers. The Texans managed just 125 net passing yards on the afternoon, leaving Moore's modest catch and yardage totals as team-high figures. Moore will naturally be due for a likely hit in targets if at least one of his position mates makes it back for a Week 16 divisional road clash against the Titans on Saturday afternoon.

Lamb recorded a reception on all seven of his targets for 126 yards in Sunday's 40-34 loss to Jacksonville.

Lamb was surprisingly out-targeted by Noah Brown in Sunday's loss, though he put together a far more efficient performance. Lamb ripped through the Jaguars' secondary for long gains on 39, 25, and 22 yards on his way to his third 100-yard performance of the season, all which have come in the last six games. The only thing missing from his effort was a trip to the end zone, though Lamb still needs just one more touchdown to reach a career high.

Chark caught one of two passes for 18 yards during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jets.

Chark ultimately drew one of the more unfavorable matchups he could find against likely defensive rookie of the year Sauce Gardner, who was almost never tested by Lions quarterback Jared Goff. Instead, the Lions directed the vast majority of the passing game through Amon-Ra St. Brown and running back D'Andre Swift on short passes. Chark and the rest of the Lions' air attack will look to get back to their explosive ways in Week 16 against a Panthers defense that could be without top cornerback CJ Henderson (ankle).

London caught seven of 11 targets for 70 yards during Sunday's 21-18 loss to New Orleans.

Desmond Ridder targeted London early and often during his NFL debut, as the rookie duo connected seven times for 70 yards. The wideout saw double-digit targets for a second straight game and the third time during the campaign. During those contests, London has totaled 21 receptions for 251 yards and one score. While London could continue leading the team in targets in most remaining games, his overall fantasy production is likely to remain limited while operating in the Falcons' struggling offense.

Wilson caught four of nine targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions.

Wilson was targeted only three times in the first half by Zach Wilson, though one of those looks turned into a 33-yard reception. The rookie receiver was noticeably frustrated in the third quarter when he was running open beyond the sticks but the second-year quarterback missed him with an errant throw. Wilson kept his head in the game, though, and made another 33-yard catch in the fourth despite being interfered with by a defender on a drive which culminated with C.J. Uzomah's go-ahead touchdown catch. After the Lions retook the lead, Wilson added catches of 22 and 10 yards to help get the Jets in range for a game-tying field-goal attempt, which Greg Zuerlein missed from 58 yards. The Jets have a quick turnaround before facing the Jaguars on Thursday, which will make it a tall order for Mike White (ribs) to get cleared; therefore, Garrett could be catching passes from Zach (no relation) again in Week 16.

Smith-Schuster brought in all 10 targets for 88 yards and lost a fumble in the Chiefs' 30-24 overtime victory over the Texans on Sunday.

The first-year Chief tied Travis Kelce for the team lead in receptions and targets while also checking in second in receiving yards. Smith-Schuster's fumble came just past the halfway point of the third quarter on a controversial hit, with the change of possession confirmed by replay. The veteran wideout has been exceedingly busy over the last two games, producing a 19-162-1 line on 21 targets in that span. Now over the 800-yard mark for the season, Smith-Schuster will aim to continue a march to the second 1,000-yard campaign of his career in a Week 16 home matchup against the Seahawks on Saturday afternoon.

Marshall caught all three of his targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Steelers.

Marshall's total included a 40-yard gain during the first quarter. In the end, only top wideout DJ Moore had more receptions and targets than Marshall. After hardly being used during the start of the season, last year's second-rounder has now topped 50 yards four times in his last seven outings.
