Goodwin caught five of six targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Panthers. He also rushed once for a two-yard loss.

Goodwin made a few impressive grabs that highlighted his unique athleticism. In fact, he led Seattle in receiving yards, with a 24-yard touchdown with 16 seconds remaining punctuating his performance. Despite having a tough matchup versus his former team, the 49ers, in Week 15, Goodwin should take confidence from Sunday's season-best yardage total.

Lockett caught five of nine targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Panthers.

Lockett caught a four-yard touchdown during the second quarter, remarkably giving him a sixth straight game with a score. The veteran has posted at least 60 yards in five of those outings, offering a dependable playmaker for quarterback Geno Smith. Lockett's strong recent production will be put to the test in Week 15, however, as a Thursday night matchup versus the 49ers' dominant defense awaits. That said, Lockett managed nine catches for 107 yards versus San Francisco in Week 2, raising optimism over his outlook.

According to coach Nathaniel Hackett, Hinton suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chiefs, Mike Klis of 9 News Denver reports.

Hinton caught five of six targets for 38 yards prior to getting hurt, but Jerry Jeudy (three touchdowns) was the clear leader among Denver's wide receivers. The banged-up Broncos offense also lost quarterback Russell Wilson (concussion) and running back Mike Boone (ankle) to injuries. Denver will face the Cardinals in Week 15.

Metcalf caught five of 10 targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Panthers.

Metcalf scored with a 12-yard reception just prior to halftime, giving him a touchdown in consecutive contests. The wideout has also gone for at least 70 yards in four straight outings, showing good form while entering the final quarter of the campaign. Despite his recent success, Metcalf has a tough matchup in Week 15, as he'll face arguably the league's best defense in the 49ers on Thursday night.

Chark brought in six of seven targets for 94 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 34-23 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Chark co-led the Lions in receptions while pacing the team in receiving yards with the help of a game-long 48-yard grab for a second-quarter touchdown. The speedster has generated an 11-192-2 line over the last two games, and he's seen 18 targets in his last three contests overall. He'll look to continue his surge in a tough Week 15 road matchup against the Jets.

Thielen secured seven of eight targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 34-23 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Thielen finished second in receptions and targets while checking in third in receiving yards on the afternoon for the Vikings. The veteran wideout made an impact with a 23-yard touchdown grab late in the third quarter as well, bringing Minnesota to within eight points at the time. Thielen's production has some ebb and flow to it, but he's now posted tallies of five or more catches in four of the last seven games going into a Week 15 home matchup against the Colts on Saturday afternoon.

Samuel (ankle) is believed to have avoided a major injury Sunday against the Buccaneers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Samuel had his leg rolled up on at the end of a run up the middle prior to being carted to the locker room. Further testing on the injury is still necessary, but it sounds like Samuel will likely avoid a long-term absence. His availability for Thursday's game against Seattle has not been determined, though the short turnaround will make it an uphill battle for the star receiver.

Taylor had one catch for 34 yards in the Bengals' win over the Browns.

Taylor had that big catch just after he had another potential catch ruled out of bounds and confirmed upon review. The Bengals will need Taylor to play more offensive snaps again next week against the Bucs should Tyler Boyd (finger) and Tee Higgins (hamstring) miss the game.

Irwin had two catches on two targets for 58 yards and scored a touchdown on a flea-flicker play that worked to perfection against the Browns.

Both Irwin and Trent Taylor were called into action early due to injuries to Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd. The Bengals might be calling Irwin's name frequently next week against the Bucs.

Cracraft (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

With Cracraft unavailable for the Dolphins' Week 14 contest, Cedrick Wilson and Freddie Swain are candidates to log wideout snaps for Miami that don't go to the team's top options Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Trent Sherfield.
