  • Tutu Atwell WR | LAR

    Rams' Tutu Atwell: Leading receiver in Sunday's loss

    Atwell caught two of five targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    The 48 yards led the Rams on the afternoon, as the team's passing game couldn't get much going with John Wolford under center in place of Matthew Stafford (neck). Atwell has seen his role grow with Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Allen Robinson (foot) also on the shelf, but no Rams receiver will be an appealing fantasy option in Week 14, even against the Raiders.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Racks up 10 targets

    Collins recorded three receptions on 10 targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Browns.

    Collins was the clear leader of the Texans' receiving corps with Brandin Cooks (calf) sidelined. Through two quarters, Collins managed to record only one reception on six targets. However, he salvaged his day with a six-yard touchdown catch in the final two minutes of the game. While Collins should continue to see plenty of volume, he's turned 36 targets into only 176 yards across his last four games.

  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Huge numbers in win over Rams

    Lockett caught nine of 12 targets for 128 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Rams.

    He was Seattle's leading receiver on the afternoon, topping DK Metcalf by one catch and one yard, and the duo dominated the looks as Geno Smith posted a career-high 367 passing yards. Lockett also extended his TD streak to five games, tying the franchise record on a 36-yard catch in the first quarter. The veteran wideout will look to claim the record for himself by scoring in a sixth straight contest in Week 14 against the Panthers.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Caps big day with game-winning TD

    Metcalf caught all eight of his targets for 127 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Rams.

    He fell one catch and one yard short of Tyler Lockett for the team lead in those categories, but Metcalf made his mark by hauling in an eight-yard strike from Geno Smith with only 36 seconds left in the fourth quarter to give Seattle the victory. It was Metcalf's second 100-yard performance of the season, and he's posted a 25-288-1 line on 32 targets over the last three games heading into a Week 14 clash with the Panthers.

  • Tyler Boyd WR | TEN

    Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Drops touchdown pass

    Boyd had four catches for 60 yards in Sunday's win over the Chiefs, but he also dropped a pass after getting wide open in the end zone.

    The drop came on a third-and-3 in the red zone, leading to the Bengals settling for a field goal. That was the only pass in Boyd's direction that he didn't catch. With Ja'Marr Chase back, Boyd should find himself open more often, but he'll also have fewer targets.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Three catches in big victory

    Higgins was held to three catches for 35 yards in Sunday's win over the Chiefs, but two of them were among the biggest in the game. He scored the Bengals' second touchdown of the contest on his first catch and recorded the final catch of the game with a 14-yard reception that converted a third-and-11 in the fourth quarter, leading to two kneel-downs to end the contest.

    Higgins officially had only five targets but was targeted on a penalty against the Chiefs and on another occasion was targeted in the end zone only for the Bengals to get called for a penalty away from the ball. Now that Ja'Marr Chase is back, opposing defenses will have to decide where to shift their coverage, meaning there could still be weeks when Higgins goes off.

  • Richie James WR | KC

    Giants' Richie James: Modest production in tie

    James brought in all three targets for 20 yards and returned three punts for 18 yards in the Giants' 20-20 tie with the Commanders on Sunday.

    James worked through a questionable designation due to a knee injury to fill his usual role as a short-area target for Daniel Jones. The veteran journeyman has arguably fallen into more of a No. 3 receiver role in the Giants' perpetually makeshift wideout corps behind Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins, but he's generated a solid 11-109-2 line over his last three games heading into a Week 14 home matchup against the Eagles.

  • Bears' Velus Jones: Small role in offense

    Jones rushed once for one yard in the Bears' 28-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Jones' biggest contribution, as usual, was as a kick returner. He returned four kickoffs for 114 yards to go along with his one rushing attempt. On the season, he has five targets and six carries, and aside from leagues that award points for return yardage, his fantasy value is minimal right now.

  • N'Keal Harry TE | SEA

    Bears' N'Keal Harry: Makes big play in loss

    Harry caught a 49-yard pass in the Bears' 28-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    After being inactive in each of the last three games, Harry caught his only target and more than doubled his season yardage on the play. He's caught one or two passes in each of the four games he's played, and he could maintain a similar role down the stretch.

  • Isaiah Hodgins WR | NYG

    Giants' Isaiah Hodgins: Finds end zone in tie

    Hodgins secured five of six targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 20-20 tie with the Commanders on Sunday.

    Hodgins finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon for New York and corralled his first touchdown as a pro on a six-yard grab early in the third quarter. Hodgins has progressively developed a presence in the Giants' injury-hampered receiving corps over the last several games, now posting multiple catches in four consecutive contests. Hodgins will next try to make inroads against the stingy Eagles secondary in Week 14.
