  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Packers' Davante Adams: Low yardage but scores

    Adams caught six of seven targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Ravens.

    Adams shook his defender before hauling in a three-yard touchdown during the second quarter, surprisingly giving him a score in consecutive games for just the first time this season. That contribution helped compensate for otherwise underwhelming totals by Adams' lofty standards, as his 44 yards marked his second-lowest tally this term. Coming off three straight 100-yard outings, Adams came back to earth a bit Sunday, but the star nonetheless remains a top receiving option ahead of Week 16's matchup versus the Browns.

  • Saints' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Back in action Sunday

    Humphrey (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday at Tampa Bay, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    After sitting out one game due to a hamstring issue, Humphrey managed a pair of limited practices to close out Week 15 prep, setting himself up for a potential return to action. Now that it's official, he'll work with quarterback Taysom Hill for the second time this season. Back in a Week 13 loss to the Cowboys, Humphrey hauled in both of his targets for 49 yards and one touchdown.

  • Texans' Phillip Dorsett: Big catch in win

    Dorsett secured two of three targets for 43 yards in the Texans' 30-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    The veteran speedster got loose downfield for a 33-yard grab on one of his two catches and checked in a distant second to Brandin Cooks in receptions and receiving yards. The fact Dorsett was involved to an appreciable degree in only his second game with the Texans is encouraging, and although Houston is completely devoid of postseason aspirations, he and Cooks serve as an explosive receiving duo for rookie signal-caller Davis Mills for what's left of the regular season.

  • Titans' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Takes over as top wideout

    Westbrook-Ikhine recorded four receptions on seven targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 19-13 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Westbrook-Ikhine's production was hardly notable, though he still led the team in targets and yardage. His longest gain of the game was a 12-yard catch -- the second-longest completion of the day for Tennessee. Looking ahead, Westbrook-Ikhine should maintain a role in the passing attack as Julio Jones aggravated the hamstring injury that has plagued him all season. A.J. Brown (chest) will be eligible to return from injured reserve for the team's Week 16 matchup against the 49ers, though there's no indication yet that he will do so. That said, it's hard to rely heavily on any Tennessee pass catcher at this point given the stagnant state of its offense.

  • Jets' Jamison Crowder: Five catches in Week 15 loss

    Crowder caught five of eight targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 31-24 loss to Miami.

    Crowder's the most established option left in the injury-riddled Jets receiving corps, and he looked the part in this one, leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. He'll remain an integral part of the game plan in Week 16 against the Jaguars, who now have the worst record in the league at 2-12.

  • Amari Cooper WR | LV

    Cowboys' Amari Cooper: Limited to two catches

    Cooper secured two of five targets for eight yards in the Cowboys' 21-6 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Cooper's second-half downturn hit a new low Sunday, with his yardage total serving as his sparsest yet in 2021 and the reception tally tying a season low as well. The veteran did score his first touchdown since Week 8 in last Sunday's win over Washington, but he's been at 51 yards or less in five consecutive games. Cooper's next opportunity to reverse course and deliver some timely dividends for fantasy managers in their playoff contests comes in a Week 16 rematch at home against Washington.

  • Jaguars' Laviska Shenault: Seven targets in loss

    Shenault caught four of seven targets for 39 yards and had one carry for 10 yards during Sunday's 30-16 loss to Houston.

    Shenault finished second on the team in targets but was unable to produce anything significant with those looks. The 23-year-old is the safety valve for rookie QB Trevor Lawrence, but the young wideout has minimal fantasy upside given he's reached 50 yards from scrimmage only once in the past eight games and has yet to score a touchdown this season.

  • Jaguars' Laquon Treadwell: Leads Jags with six catches

    Treadwell caught six of nine targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Texans.

    Treadwell led Jacksonville in both catches and targets as he's turned into the team's most consistent wideout in recent weeks. The 26-year-old's fantasy outlook remains limited given the overall struggles of the offense, but he has at least four receptions and 50-plus receiving yards in four consecutive contests.

  • DeVante Parker WR | PHI

    Dolphins' DeVante Parker: Sets up two TDs then scores one

    Parker caught four of eight targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.

    Working as Miami's top wide receiver with Jaylen Waddle on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Parker led the team in receiving yards and tied tight end Mike Gesicki for the lead in targets. He set up Miami's first touchdown by getting the ball down to the two-yard line with a 37-yard catch, then set up the go-ahead score early in the fourth quarter by drawing a pass interference penalty in the end zone. After the Jets tied it up, Parker finally got into the end zone himself from 11 yards out to round out the scoring with 3:37 remaining. Regardless of Waddle's status in Week 16 against the Saints, Parker should continue to occupy a starting role on the outside.

  • Marvin Jones WR | DET

    Jaguars' Marvin Jones: Held to 14 yards

    Jones caught two of four targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Texans.

    Jones tied for fourth on the team in targets, and it's now the second time within the past three games he's failed to crack 20 receiving yards. The 31-year-old has only 28 receptions for 281 yards and zero touchdowns in eight games since the Jaguars' Week 7 bye, and he can't be relied upon as a fantasy option down the stretch.
