  • Jets' Braxton Berrios: Nice return sets up team's first TD

    Berrios caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 33-18 loss to Philadelphia. He also returned three kickoffs for 139 yards.

    Berrios bookended the contest with his two biggest contributions. He set up New York's opening-drive touchdown by taking the opening kickoff 79 yards down to the Eagles' 21-yard line, and Berrios' lone catch of the afternoon came on the game's final play. Berrios is a solid back-of-the-roster guy for the 3-9 Jets, but that's not a fantasy-friendly role.

  • Ben Skowronek WR | PIT

    Rams' Ben Skowronek: Hauls in career-long gain

    Skowronek caught one of his two targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 37-7 win over Jacksonville. He played 16 offensive snaps.

    The rookie out of Notre Dame started and saw more run in the offense than normal Sunday, and he also made a career-long catch on the first Los Angeles possession of the second quarter. Skowronek probably received the boost in playing time because Odell Beckham was nursing a hip injury, and while he currently has limited upside, it does appear Skowronek has established himself as the No. 4 wide receiver on the depth chart.

  • Eagles' J.J. Arcega-Whiteside: No touches against Jets

    Arcega-Whiteside played 14 offensive snaps in Sunday's 33-18 win over the Jets.

    Arcega-Whiteside had recorded a catch in each of the last two games, but he wasn't targeted in Sunday's Week 13 matchup. The 2019 second-rounder has had a minimal role in Philadelphia's offense this year and has hauled in both of his targets for 36 yards across the first 12 games of the season.

  • Jalen Reagor WR | MIA

    Eagles' Jalen Reagor: Limited work in Week 13

    Reagor secured his lone target for seven yards while rushing once for no yards in Sunday's 33-18 win over the Jets.

    Reagor finished second among the Eagles' receivers by playing 68 percent of the offensive snaps Sunday, but he wasn't very productive against the Jets. The 22-year-old has been held to just one catch in five of the last six weeks, and he's hauled in seven of 16 targets for 43 yards while rushing four times for 13 yards during that time.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: Receiving MRI

    Thielen (ankle) is undergoing an MRI on Monday, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Thielen will receive an MRI to determine the severity of his reported high-ankle sprain, an injury which forced him out of Sunday's divisional loss to the Lions. Considering the quick turnaround before Thursday's home matchup against the Steelers, Thielen appears to be looking unlikely for Week 14. For the time being, however, it remains unclear whether his injury will entail a multi-week absence.

  • Quez Watkins WR | IND

    Eagles' Quez Watkins: Racks up 60 yards

    Watkins secured all three of his targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 33-18 win over the Jets.

    Watkins led the Eagles' receivers by playing 77 percent of the team's offensive snaps Sunday, and he posted his second-highest yardage total of the season in the win. He's now been targeted at least three times in four of the last five games, and he's secured 11 of 18 targets for 125 yards while rushing once for three yards during that time.

  • Steelers' James Washington: Targeted once against Baltimore

    Washington failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Ravens.

    Washington saw a downturn in playing time against Baltimore, as he was on the field for just 37 percent of the team's offensive snaps after playing more than 50 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the last three weeks. As a result, the 25-year-old was held without a catch for the first time since Week 2. Washington hasn't been very involved for Pittsburgh recently, as he's secured just three of six targets for 15 yards across the last three games.

  • Steelers' Ray-Ray McCloud: Limited production against Ravens

    McCloud hauled in one of four targets for seven yards in Sunday's 20-19 win over Baltimore.

    McCloud missed last week's loss to the Bengals since he was on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he returned to the field Sunday following a one-game absence. The 25-year-old's 40 offensive snaps ranked second among the team's wide receivers Sunday, but he failed to generate much production on his four targets. McCloud was targeted 12 times against the Lions in Week 10 but has secured just three of six targets for 19 yards in his two appearances since then.

  • DeAndre Carter WR | CLE

    Football Team's DeAndre Carter: Targeted once

    Carter caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 17-15 win over the Raiders, playing 49 of 67 snaps (73 percent) on offense.

    It was Carter's fourth start in the past five games, with a snap share in the 67-75 percent range in all five. Curtis Samuel has returned in a limited role, but that hasn't impacted Carter's snap or route shares. Even so, the journeyman speedster nonetheless came up short in the production department Sunday after catching 12 of 20 targets for 171 yards and three TDs over the past four games. Carter's likely done enough to keep his spot for Week 14 against Dallas, but another quiet outing could have him looking over his shoulder at Samuel or third-round rookie Dyami Brown.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: No impact in Week 13 loss

    Collins did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Colts.

    For the first time this season, Collins failed to register a reception, but he continues to play a prominent role as the No. 2 wideout. The rookie had averaged a little more than four targets per game over the previous six contests. He'll remain as the second wideout over the final weeks of the season, as the franchise looks to set him up for 2022. In the present, however, Collins doesn't bring much value. The Michigan product has just 18 catches over nine games and has yet to score. The problem is the team, which ranks last in total offense and next-to-last in passing offense.
