Slayton failed to haul in any of his three targets Sunday against the Chargers.

Slayton is one of several receivers vying for scraps in a terrible Giants passing offense. It's been a lost year for him.

Davis caught five of eight targets for 43 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's overtime loss to the Buccaneers.

That makes back-to-back weeks with scores for the second-year wideout, who could see a boost in his role if veteran Emmanuel Sanders (knee) is held out of action in Week 15. Davis only has one 100-yard game his season, but he's found the end zone four times after doing so seven times as a rookie. The Bills have a few plays they like to dial up where they look Davis' way in the red zone.

Jefferson caught two of three targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 30-23 win over the Cardinals.

Jefferson, whose father serves as Arizona's wide receivers coach, made his presence felt with a 52-yard touchdown on play action to begin the third quarter. That grab extended his scoring streak to three games, matching that of teammate Odell Beckham. The duo has helped fill the void left by Robert Woods (knee). While Beckham's role within the offense continues to grow, as he finished with six catches for 77 yards and a touchdown Monday, Jefferson will nonetheless strive to keep his momentum going in Week 15 versus the Seahawks.

Kirk caught three of six targets for 86 yards in Monday night's 30-23 loss to the Rams.

Kirk's performance was fueled by a long catch in each half. In the second quarter, he hauled in a 41-yard dime from Kyler Murray, then Kirk was the recipient of a 47-yarder in the fourth. Those big plays enabled the wideout to accumulate his third-most receiving yards in a game this season, helping Kirk rebound after posting merely one catch for four yards in Week 13.

Darden logged three snaps from scrimmage without a target in the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills on Sunday, but he returned three kickoffs for 38 yards and one punt for 10 yards.

The rookie wideout saw Tyler Johnson and Breshad Perriman absorb the majority of wideout snaps behind the top duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, not an unexpected development even with Antonio Brown (ankle/suspension) and Scotty Miller (coach's decision) both unavailable. Darden is likely to stick to returns in a Week 15 Sunday night matchup against the Saints.

Beckham caught six of seven targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 30-23 win over the Cardinals.

Beckham scored Los Angeles' first points by hauling in a two-yard slant to begin the second quarter. That play gave the wideout a touchdown in three straight games, and Beckham continued to produce after his end-zone trip -- his 40-yard gain prior to halftime helped set up a field goal and marked his third consecutive outing with a play of at least 25 yards. Although he wasn't heard from as much in the second half, when Cooper Kupp began to build toward a career-high tally of 13 catches, Beckham still produced his best game as a Ram, an encouraging development as the team now turns its attention toward another divisional matchup versus the Seahawks in Week 15.

Hopkins caught five of 12 targets for 54 yards in Monday night's 30-23 loss to the Rams.

Hopkins got going with a pair of first-down gains early, but he narrowly missed out on a couple end-zone targets from close range in the second quarter. The wideout then dropped a critical fourth-and-two pass in the third, adding to his frustrations. With some failed contested targets to end the game, which were followed by Hopkins being seen limping on the sideline per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website, it overall was a performance to forget from the receiver, who will hope to rebound in what could be a great fantasy matchup versus the Lions in Week 15.

Johnson secured all three of his targets for 17 yards in the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills on Sunday.

A week after logging just nine snaps in a win over the Falcons, Johnson bumped all the way up to 49 plays from scrimmage, the highest total among Tampa Bay wideouts behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Johnson parlayed the opportunity into his best catch total since Week 10, but his modest yardage still made it a forgettable fantasy day. With Scotty Miller a healthy scratch Sunday, Johnson appears to be firmly ahead of the Bowling Green product on the depth chart and could continue as the No. 3 wideout for a Week 15 divisional clash against the Saints, although there's always the possibility Breshad Perriman eats into his opportunities.

Perriman secured one of two targets for a game-winning 58-yard touchdown during the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills on Sunday.

The speedy veteran took a short catch on a crossing pattern in overtime and turned it upfield, outrunning multiple Bills defenders down the right sideline for the score, which was his first touchdown since Week 11 of last season while with the Jets. Perriman is a legitimate downfield threat due to his game-breaking speed, but his questionable hands have always put a cap on his overall fantasy value. However, with Antonio Brown still on suspension for a Week 15 Sunday night showdown against the Saints, Perriman could see a downfield look or two, but he was notably out-snapped by Tyler Johnson, 49-26, against Buffalo.

Kupp caught 13 of 15 targets for 123 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 30-23 win over the Cardinals.

Kupp once again led the Rams in all major receiving categories, setting a new career high in receptions in the process. The wideout did his usual work moving the sticks in the first half, but he saw teammates Odell Beckham and Van Jefferson find the end zone before he hauled in a four-yard touchdown during the third quarter. Kupp was then leaned on more heavily in the fourth, when he also made a 44-yard catch on a perfectly placed ball by quarterback Matthew Stafford. With that gain helping him top 100 yards for an eighth time this season, Kupp continued what's been a remarkably consistent and productive campaign. He'll strive to add another standout showing to his name in Week 15 versus the Seahawks.
