Robinson caught two passes on six targets for 14 yards in the Bears' 45-30 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Although he was second on the team in targets, Robinson recorded fewer than 36 yards for the seventh time in the 10 games he's played in 2021. With just one touchdown on the year along with an average of 35 yards per game, he'll be difficult to trust in lineups during the fantasy playoffs.

Mooney caught one pass on five targets for 19 yards in the Bears' 45-30 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Aside from a pair of improbable receptions by Damiere Byrd and Jakeem Grant, the Bears' passing attack struggled to find consistent success, and Mooney was unable to do much against a Green Bay secondary that rarely gave him room to operate. Although he was targeted five times, his target total fell behind David Montgomery and Allen Robinson. Over the last two games, Mooney's posted his worst performances since Week 3, but his talent and role in the offense should lead to a rebound in the fantasy playoffs.

Edwards caught two of three targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 48-9 loss to the Chiefs.

Edwards was overshadowed once again by fellow receiver Hunter Renfrow, who racked up a career-high 13 receptions for 117 yards and a score as quarterback Derek Carr attempted 45 passes in the blowout defeat. Zay Jones picked up seven targets of his own, while tight end Foster Moreau and running back Josh Jacobs remained active in the Raiders' aerial attack as well. Edwards played less than 70 percent of the team's offensive snaps for a second straight week, and he's caught just nine total passes in six games since the Raiders' Week 8 bye.

Byrd caught both of his targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-30 loss to Green Bay.

Allen Robinson (hamstring) returned to the lineup Sunday, but he wasn't a major factor in the passing game (two receptions for 14 yards). Byrd still experienced a steep drop-off from the 6.0 targets he averaged over the last two games he filled in for the injured A-Rob, but he was able to mask the low usage with a big 58-yard catch and run for a touchdown. With Robinson back, Marquise Goodwin (foot) potentially returning soon and Jakeem Grant playing so well, it wouldn't be surprising to see Byrd slowly phased out of the gameplan even after posting this strong fantasy line. If Goodwin can't return in Week 15, then Byrd may carry some deep-league/DFS value against a weak Vikings defense next Monday.

Grant caught one of three targets for 46 yards and a touchdown while returning three punts for 131 yards and another touchdown in Sunday's 45-30 loss to the Packers.

Grant provided the spark the Bears needed on the road to keep up with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' dominant offense. The unconventional fantasy line and low targets is a reminder that these sort of big games shouldn't be expected on a weekly basis from the veteran backup wideout. That being said, Grant has now produced 108 receiving yards and three total touchdowns over the last two weeks, so he could be worth snagging off waivers in the event he can keep the hot streak going against a porous Minnesota defense next Monday.

Lazard had six receptions (seven targets) for 75 yards and a touchdown while adding 14 more yards on one carry in a 45-30 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Lazard turned in his best fantasy performance of the season one game after posting a dud (13 yards on a 33 percent catch rate). The 25-year-old hasn't taken that next step to become a reliable fantasy option quite yet, but Sunday's showing proves that he has the ability to produce such lines. The seven targets marked a new season high, surpassing his previous high of six that he tallied last week. It could be worth snagging Lazard if he's sitting on waivers now that he appears to be fully healed from a shoulder injury. Next Sunday the Packers will take on the Ravens, who are currently the most generous defense in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing wideouts and are also without top corner Marlon Humphrey (shoulder) for the rest of the year.

McMath recorded one reception on two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Jaguars.

McMath was activated from injured reserve Saturday and was surprisingly active on gameday over Dez Fitzpatrick (coach's decision). As a result, he logged the first reception of his career in the third quarter. McMath figures to retain primarily a special teams role moving forward, though he could have a chance to step up should the Titans suffer further injuries among their receiving corps.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded three receptions on three targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Jaguars.

Westbrook-Ikhine lost some volume due to the return of Julio Jones, though he still finished second among the team's wide receivers in targets. Though he converted each for a catch, Westbrook-Ikhine largely worked in the short areas of the field, with his longest gain going for 15 yards. He may have the chance to produce in a Week 15 matchup at Pittsburgh, as the game is likely to be more competitive and A.J. Brown (chest) will also remain sidelined.

Adams (hamstring) hauled in 10 of 13 targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 45-30 win over the Bears.

Adams was dealing with a bum hamstring during practice this week, and he was quiet out of the gates in this one. The superstar wideout could be held back only for so long, as he and Aaron Rodgers dominated the Bears' defense from the second quarter onward. Adams has now produced three straight 100-plus yard games while scoring four touchdowns over that span. He will attempt to stretch that streak to four games against the Ravens in Week 15.

Treadwell recorded four receptions on six targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 20-0 loss to the Titans.

Treadwell continued to play a substantial role in the Jaguars' offense as he's now reached four receptions and topped 50 yards in three consecutive games. He did the majority of his damage on one catch Sunday, a 41-yard gain deep down the right sideline that nearly went for a score. Treadwell lacks upside due to the poor offensive environment in Jacksonville, but he has established himself as a key contributor to whatever success they may have.
