Lamb caught seven passes for 61 yards on 10 targets against Washington on Sunday.

Lamb's box score is inefficient at a glance (70 percent catch rate, 6.1 yards per target), but he was Dallas' highest-volume pass catcher Sunday and his struggles were arguably more attributable to the play of Dak Prescott, who completed only 56.5 percent of his passes at 5.4 yards per attempt. Lamb's usage is reliably very high from week to week, and his numbers are almost certain to improve if Prescott turns in a better performance in Week 15 against the Giants.

Hill recorded four receptions on four targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 48-9 win over the Raiders.

The Chiefs' offense didn't need to do much in the game, as they were up 21-0 by early in the second quarter. Between game script and the fact that Hill briefly left the game, as reported by Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com, he was limited to his lowest target total since Week 2. Even given those factors, Hill beat the Raiders' defense for receptions of 38, 19 and 10 yards to account for the majority of his production. With the Chargers on tap in Week 15, Kansas City figures to be in a closer contest that should create more volume for Hill and the rest of the team's offensive weapons.

Cooks (back) caught eight of 11 targets for 101 yards in Sunday's 33-13 loss to Seattle.

Cooks was inches from scoring his fourth touchdown of the season in the second quarter, but his knee came down just short of the goal line. Despite failing to score, Cooks eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the third time this season. Rookie quarterback Davis Mills topped the 300-yard mark, so Cooks' role as Houston's No. 1 wide receiver will make him an appealing Week 15 option against a Jaguars secondary that he burned for a season-high 132 yards in the season opener.

Metcalf caught four of eight targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans.

Metcalf and quarterback Russell Wilson haven't been on the same page this season, as the third-year wideout has posted 60 or fewer yards in six straight games while failing to find the end zone in five of those contests. Still, he has been targeted eight times in four of the past five games, so the opportunities should convert into production soon. Metcalf could be shadowed by All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey in Week 15 against the Rams, though.

Peoples-Jones caught five of seven targets for 90 yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Ravens.

Peoples-Jones led the Browns in yards through the air while posting season highs in receptions and targets. The second-year wideout had a long gain of 34 yards, which by itself topped his yardage total from his previous two games combined. Besides those quiet performances, however, Peoples-Jones has now managed at least 70 yards in four of his last six appearances, giving him decent momentum ahead of Week 15's Saturday contest versus the Raiders.

Lockett caught five of nine targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans. He also caught a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter.

Lockett made multiple sideline grabs in Sunday's contest and caught four passes for longer than 20 yards, including a 55-yard touchdown from Russell Wilson in the second quarter. That deep shot has been a signature play for the two stars, but until Sunday, we hadn't seen it following Wilson's return from injured reserve. With Lockett's fifth 100-yard performance of 2021, the 29-year-old wideout has now recorded 1,023 yards through 13 games, marking his third straight season with at last 1,000 receiving yards. He should comfortably surpass his career high of 1,057 yards as long as he stays healthy.

McLaurin (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Cowboys.

On a scramble drill in the third quarter, Taylor Heinicke unleashed a deep shot to McLaurin, who went up high in an attempt to corral the pass. McLaurin was upended by Dallas defenders in the process and landed on his back and right shoulder. After making his way to the blue sideline tent and eventually the locker room, he was diagnosed with a concussion. Now subject to the protocol for head injuries, McLaurin's situation will be one to monitor as Washington prepares for another NFC East matchup in Philadelphia next Sunday.

McLaurin is under evaluation for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

McLaurin jumped up high for a deep ball from Taylor Heinicke in the third quarter and got upended in the process, landing hard on his back and right shoulder. While those issues aren't the cause of McLaurin's visit to the blue sideline tent and eventually the locker room, Washington is determining whether a head injury will end his day early. If so, he'll finish Week 14 with no catches on four targets.

Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

The third-year wideout has been active the last two games after a seven-game stint on injured reserve due to a turf toe issue, but he logged all of seven snaps from scrimmage over that pair of contests. Miller won't be in on any plays Sunday, with the likes of Breshad Perriman and Tyler Johnson set to serve as the primary complementary options behind the top wideout duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Higgins (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

As is running back Joe Mixon (illness), which sets the stage for the Bengals to have their core skill players available for Week 14 action. Over his last two outings, Higgins has combined for a fantasy-friendly 15 catches on 22 targets for 252 yards and two TDs.
