Cole caught one of two targets for nine yards and threw an incomplete pass in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Dolphins.

Cole tried to throw it to quarterback Zach Wilson on a trick play, but the play ended up being incomplete. The veteran wideout has just one catch in each of the past two games, but he continues to see the field often with Corey Davis (groin) and Elijah Moore (quadriceps) both out. Maybe that playing time will result in more production when the 2-12 Jaguars come to town in Week 16.

Samuel caught four of five targets for 60 yards and added 29 yards and a touchdown on six carries in Sunday's 31-13 win over Atlanta.

Samuel re-emerged as a receiving threat after failing to surpass one reception in any game since Week 10. Fortunately for his fantasy mangers, the dual-threat receiver remained an elite fantasy asset during that span with his increased role in the rushing attack (33-247-6 rushing over last five games). The 49ers may opt to use Samuel in more of a receiving role against Tennessee this Thursday, as the Titans allow the 31st-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts while being the most stingy against opposing rushing attacks this season.

Berrios caught his only target for 26 yards while rushing twice for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Dolphins.

After leading the team with 10 targets last week, Berrios remained involved in the game plan early, capping New York's first drive with a two-yard touchdown run. He didn't make much of an impact after that point, but neither did any other Jets receiver, as Jamison Crowder led the team with 40 receiving yards and New York didn't score a touchdown through the air. Given the dearth of passable alternatives in New York's passing game, Berrios will have some fantasy appeal in Week 16 against the Jaguars, though that appeal is primarily limited to deeper formats.

Adams caught six of seven targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Ravens.

Adams shook his defender before hauling in a three-yard touchdown during the second quarter, surprisingly giving him a score in consecutive games for just the first time this season. That contribution helped compensate for otherwise underwhelming totals by Adams' lofty standards, as his 44 yards marked his second-lowest tally this term. Coming off three straight 100-yard outings, Adams came back to earth a bit Sunday, but the star nonetheless remains a top receiving option ahead of Week 16's matchup versus the Browns.

Humphrey (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday at Tampa Bay, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

After sitting out one game due to a hamstring issue, Humphrey managed a pair of limited practices to close out Week 15 prep, setting himself up for a potential return to action. Now that it's official, he'll work with quarterback Taysom Hill for the second time this season. Back in a Week 13 loss to the Cowboys, Humphrey hauled in both of his targets for 49 yards and one touchdown.

Dorsett secured two of three targets for 43 yards in the Texans' 30-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

The veteran speedster got loose downfield for a 33-yard grab on one of his two catches and checked in a distant second to Brandin Cooks in receptions and receiving yards. The fact Dorsett was involved to an appreciable degree in only his second game with the Texans is encouraging, and although Houston is completely devoid of postseason aspirations, he and Cooks serve as an explosive receiving duo for rookie signal-caller Davis Mills for what's left of the regular season.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded four receptions on seven targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 19-13 loss to Pittsburgh.

Westbrook-Ikhine's production was hardly notable, though he still led the team in targets and yardage. His longest gain of the game was a 12-yard catch -- the second-longest completion of the day for Tennessee. Looking ahead, Westbrook-Ikhine should maintain a role in the passing attack as Julio Jones aggravated the hamstring injury that has plagued him all season. A.J. Brown (chest) will be eligible to return from injured reserve for the team's Week 16 matchup against the 49ers, though there's no indication yet that he will do so. That said, it's hard to rely heavily on any Tennessee pass catcher at this point given the stagnant state of its offense.

Crowder caught five of eight targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 31-24 loss to Miami.

Crowder's the most established option left in the injury-riddled Jets receiving corps, and he looked the part in this one, leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. He'll remain an integral part of the game plan in Week 16 against the Jaguars, who now have the worst record in the league at 2-12.

Cooper secured two of five targets for eight yards in the Cowboys' 21-6 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Cooper's second-half downturn hit a new low Sunday, with his yardage total serving as his sparsest yet in 2021 and the reception tally tying a season low as well. The veteran did score his first touchdown since Week 8 in last Sunday's win over Washington, but he's been at 51 yards or less in five consecutive games. Cooper's next opportunity to reverse course and deliver some timely dividends for fantasy managers in their playoff contests comes in a Week 16 rematch at home against Washington.

Shenault caught four of seven targets for 39 yards and had one carry for 10 yards during Sunday's 30-16 loss to Houston.

Shenault finished second on the team in targets but was unable to produce anything significant with those looks. The 23-year-old is the safety valve for rookie QB Trevor Lawrence, but the young wideout has minimal fantasy upside given he's reached 50 yards from scrimmage only once in the past eight games and has yet to score a touchdown this season.
