  • Marvin Jones WR | DET

    Jaguars' Marvin Jones: One catch Week 13

    Jones caught one of four targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Lions.

    The veteran wideout played 68 percent of the offensive snaps, but Christian Kirk was the team's only standout on a day where Jacksonville mustered just 266 yards of offense. Jones has only five receptions for 72 yards across the past three games, though he did catch a touchdown during that span.

  • Ben Skowronek WR | PIT

    Rams' Ben Skowronek: Two catches in loss

    Skowronek secured two of three targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    The Rams' first drive of the day was highlighted by a toe-tap catch from Skowronek for 22 yards, which helped set up a one-yard Cam Akers rushing touchdown. Beyond that, however, Skowronek only made one more catch despite being on the field for all but two snaps on offense. Both John Wolford and Bryce Perkins have struggled under center for the Rams in place of Matthew Stafford (neck), making it difficult to rely on Skowronek for consistent production, even with a tantalizing matchup against the Raiders on tap for Week 14.

  • Jets' Braxton Berrios: Drops game-winning TD

    Berrios caught two of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Vikings.

    Berrios will be remembered for the ball he didn't catch in this one. On fourth down from Minnesota's one-yard line with less than two minutes to play, Mike White fit the ball into a tight window to a sliding Berrios in the end zone, but the wide receiver failed to secure the catch, allowing the would-be winning touchdown to hit the ground. Berrios is a nice gadget player, but the costly drop showed why the Jets are loath to deploy him as a consistent part of the offense.

  • Falcons' KhaDarel Hodge: Zero receptions on two targets

    Hodge failed to catch either of his targets during Sunday's 19-16 loss against Pittsburgh.

    Hodge played just six offensive snaps and was targeted on two of them, but he failed to record a reception. The fifth-year wideout has 12 receptions for 197 yards and one touchdown this season, but he's been held without a catch in seven of his 13 appearances.

  • Damiere Byrd WR | BUF

    Falcons' Damiere Byrd: One catch in loss

    Byrd caught his only target for 12 yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss against Pittsburgh.

    Byrd's lone catch went for 12 yards on third down in the first quarter. From Week 7 to 11, the wideout caught nine passes for 229 yards and two scores, but in his other five appearances this season, he's secured just one of three targets for 12 yards. Byrd's firmly entrenched behind Drake London and Olamide Zaccheaus on the depth chart and should remain on waivers in standard fantasy leagues.

  • Falcons' Olamide Zaccheaus: Modest production in loss

    Zaccheaus tallied two receptions on five targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss against Pittsburgh.

    He finished second on the team in targets behind Drake London, who led Atlanta with six receptions on 12 targets for a career-high 95 yards, but Zaccheaus struggled to make a sizable impact with his looks. With Kyle Pitts (knee) sidelined, Zaccheaus has seen 13 targets over the past two contests, which is by far the most he's had in any two-game stretch this season. Despite the modest production in Week 13, he continues to be one of the more reliable pass catchers in Atlanta, totaling 32 receptions for 478 yards and two scores across 13 appearances.

  • Amari Rodgers WR | IND

    Texans' Amari Rodgers: Suits up in Week 13

    Rodgers made his Texans debut in Sunday's 27-14 loss to Cleveland.

    Rodgers played 17 snaps but was not given a target. Brandin Cooks' calf injury opened up an opportunity for Rodgers, who was claimed three weeks ago after being released by Green Bay. Phillip Dorsett, however, got most of the snaps made available by Cooks' absence.

  • Texans' Phillip Dorsett: Steps in for injured Cooks

    Dorsett caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Browns.

    Dorsett saw a boost in playing time with Brandin Cooks (calf) sidelined, but Nico Collins (10 targets) was the main beneficiary. Houston's passing offense is near the bottom of the league, which makes it hard for fantasy managers to rely on any of the team's wideouts.

  • Odell Beckham: Expected to pick team by mid-week

    Beckham (knee) is scheduled to meet with the Cowboys on Monday and Tuesday before reaching a decision on his next team around the middle of the week, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Beckham's two-day visit with the Cowboys is similar to recent meetings he held with the Giants on Thursday and Friday and with the Bills on Friday and Saturday. In addition to talking with Cowboys officials and meeting the coaching staff and players, Beckham is also scheduled to undergo a physical as Dallas looks to ensure that he's made a full recovery from the torn ACL he suffered last February. The Cowboys are believed to be the frontrunner for Beckham's services, but even if he works out a contract within the next few days, he won't be able to get in enough practice time to play in Week 14.

  • Browns' Donovan Peoples-Jones: Big impact in win

    Peoples-Jones caught all three of his targets for 44 yards and returned three punts for 86 yards, including a 76-yard return for a touchdown, in Sunday's 27-14 win over Houston.

    Peoples-Jones provided a spark for the Browns with his punt return late in the second quarter to give Cleveland a lead it did not relinquish. The Texans were ahead 5-0 at the time in what was a sleepy affair for the Browns' offense, which was being quarterbacked by Deshaun Watson for the first time. Peoples-Jones' punt-return touchdown was the first for Cleveland since 2015. The wideout has developed into a reliable No. 2 receiver this season and has taken hold of the punt return chores after several others failed to do so.
