Jones recorded five receptions on seven targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 48-9 loss to the Chiefs.

Jones finished second on the team with seven targets, behind only Hunter Renfrow. Despite converting a high rate of his targets into receptions, Jones was limited to only 3.6 yards per target to turn in a disappointing performance. Jones has now seen at least five targets in three consecutive games, though he's topped 50 yards only once in that span and has not found the end zone since Week 1.

Boyd caught four of five targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers. He also gained eight yards on his only carry.

The veteran slot receiver had another productive game, though he once again took a back seat to the duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Boyd has posted a 17-202-1 line on 22 targets over four games since the Bengals' bye, giving him a reasonably solid fantasy floor heading into a Week 15 tilt against the Broncos.

Chase caught five of eight targets for 77 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

The rookie was a key figure in forcing the game into OT. With the Bengals in a 20-6 hole to begin the fourth quarter, Chase got to work and hauled in TD strikes of 17 and 32 yards from Joe Burrow. It's the second two-touchdown performance of the season for Chase, who now has an amazing 10 TDs through his first 13 NFL games in addition to reaching the 1,000-yard mark. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 15 against the Broncos.

Higgins caught five of seven targets for 114 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

He led the Bengals in receiving yards while tying Ja'Marr Chase in catches, but it was Chase who was on the other end of both of Joe Burrow's TD passes. Higgins has reached triple-digit yardage in three straight games, posting a massive 20-366-2 line on 29 targets over that stretch, but he could have trouble making it four straight in a Week 15 clash with the Broncos.

Aiyuk caught six of 11 targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Bengals.

He also gained four yards on his only carry. With Elijah Mitchell (concussion) sidelined and Deebo Samuel seeing most of his work out of the backfield again, Aiyuk was the Niners' top wideout, and he wound up scoring the winning TD on a 12-yard catch-and-run in overtime. The second-year player has topped 50 receiving yards in four straight games, posting a 19-293-2 line on 30 targets over that stretch, and he figures to have a prominent role again in Week 15 against the Falcons.

Samuel carried the ball eight times for 37 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for 22 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Bengals.

Making his return from a one-game absence due to a groin injury, Samuel saw most of his work out of the backfield with Elijah Mitchell (concussion) unavailable. That's been the story for the third-year wideout in recent weeks -- Samuel hasn't seen more than five targets in any of his last four games or caught more than one pass in any of his last three, but he's more than made up for it with 218 rushing yards and five rushing TDs over those four games. Samuel's role in Week 15 against the Falcons will depend on Mitchell's health, but the former figures to be a big part of the game plan no matter how he's deployed.

Taylor is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears due to an abdominal injury.

Taylor wasn't targeted to begin Sunday's matchup, but he was banged up early in the second half. He also dealt with an abdominal issue in November that forced him to miss one game. Amari Rodgers will likely serve as Green Bay's kick returner if Taylor is unable to return.

St. Brown (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bears.

St. Brown's evaluation revealed a concussion, ruling him out for the remainder of the contest. He'll need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to be eligible to suit up in Week 15 against the Ravens.

Jeudy caught five of six targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.

He led all Denver wideouts in catches, targets and yards, but tight ends Noah Fant and Albert Okwuegbunam posted similar numbers to Jeudy as the team had little reason to stretch the field in the rout. The second-year receiver is still looking for his first TD of the year, but he has hauled in multiple passes in six straight games since returning from an ankle injury, giving him a reasonably secure fantasy floor heading into a Week 15 tilt against the Bengals.

St. Brown is being evaluated for a concussion Sunday against the Bears.

If St. Brown tests negative for a concussion, he may be able to return to the game, but his return should be viewed as questionable at this point. He wasn't targeted before being injured but made one tackle.
