Smith failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 30-9 loss to the Saints.

Smith failed to make a mark on the contest after being elevated from the practice squad for his season debut. Fellow practice squad elevation D.J. Montgomery was much more active, catching three of six targets for 36 yards. The injury-riddled Jets may elevate both receivers again in Week 15 against the Dolphins, but Montgomery will likely get first crack over Smith if they choose only one.

Raymond caught four of five targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Broncos.

He provided Detroit's lone highlight of the day, catching a seven-yard score in the second quarter. Raymond hadn't gotten into the end zone since Week 4 and hasn't reached 40 yards in a game since Week 7, giving him little fantasy appeal heading into a Week 15 clash with the Cardinals.

Reynolds caught three of five targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Broncos.

While he didn't see a lot of volume, Reynolds was able to make a bit of an impact as a downfield option for Jared Goff. The wideout has topped 50 yards in three straight games, posting a 10-191-1 line on 17 targets over that stretch and giving him some deep-league fantasy appeal heading into a Week 15 clash with the Cardinals.

St. Brown caught eight of 12 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Broncos.

He led all players in catches, receiving yards and targets on the day, as the rookie continues to emerge as Jared Goff's top option. St. Brown has an 18-159-1 line on 24 targets over the last two games, and he could be busy again in Week 15 if the Lions fall into another big hole against the Cardinals.

Beasley brought in nine of 11 targets for 64 yards in the Bills' 33-27 overtime loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Beasley's catch total led the Bills and was an especially welcome sight after the reliable veteran was held to one catch against the Patriots in the Week 13 Monday night loss. Beasley's yardage total was also his best since Week 8, as the 32-year-old hadn't eclipsed 46 receiving yards since that season-best 110-yard showing against the Dolphins until Sunday. Beasley will look to deliver another timely effort for managers in their fantasy postseason contests during a Week 15 home battle versus the Panthers. It's also worth noting that teammate Emmanuel Sanders left Sunday's game early with a knee injury, which slightly opened things up for other players. Beasley managers will want to keep an eye on Sanders' health this week.

Godwin brought in 10 of 15 targets for 105 yards in the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills on Sunday.

Godwin's reception, receiving yardage and target totals led the Buccaneers on the afternoon, and he now has consecutive double-digit reception tallies after not accomplishing the feat in the first 11 games of the campaign. The Penn State product has a whopping 32 targets in the last pair of contests, a level of volume that's seemingly unsustainable over the long term but that could persist in a Week 15 Sunday night matchup against a Saints team that funnels plenty of action toward the air due to its elite run defense.

Evans secured all six targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills on Sunday.

Evans checked in second behind Chris Godwin in receptions and receiving yards on a highly efficient afternoon. The veteran wideout's 13-yard scoring grab midway through the second quarter was his first since Week 11 and pushed his season tally to 11, just two short of the career high he established in 2020. Evans' next opportunity to add to that tally comes in a Week 15 Sunday night clash against a Saints defense that's often given him trouble.

Jones recorded six receptions on seven targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 20-0 loss to the Titans.

Jones tied for the team lead with seven targets, as Trevor Lawrence took to the air 40 times. He accounted for the majority of his production on a few big plays, highlighted by gains of 31 and 14 yards. It was the first time that Jones surpassed five receptions since Week 6 and only the third time that he's topped 50 receiving yards in that span. Jones could be in a spot for another productive effort in Week 15 against the Texans, as he put together a five-reception, 77-yard, one-touchdown effort against them in Week 1.

Diggs secured seven of 13 targets for 74 yards in the Bills' 33-27 overtime loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Diggs' yardage total paced the Bills on a busy day for the passing game, during which Josh Allen put the ball up 54 times overall. The multi-time Pro Bowler's target total also led the team and tied for a season high. Despite the solid production, Diggs has now fallen short of the 100-yard mark in four straight games and eight of his last nine contests overal. Fantasy managers counting on him in their upcoming postseason contests will hope for a much-needed breakout effort in Week 15 at home against the Panthers.

Shepard caught two passes for 27 yards on four targets against the Chargers on Sunday.

Shepard couldn't get much going in his first game since Week 8, but it's probably less a reflection of Shepard's play and more a credit to the Chargers pass defense. That Mike Glennon was in at quarterback instead of Daniel Jones (neck) didn't help matters, either. Shepard should be in a good spot to build on these numbers when he faces Dallas in Week 15, especially if Jones can return by then.
