Mooney caught four passes (on five targets) for 49 yards and a touchdown while adding a 16-yard rush in the Bears' 33-27 victory over the Vikings on Sunday.

Mooney scored his touchdown early in this contest, but with the Bears leading throughout, the team attempted just 21 passes, potentially keeping him from posting a bigger fantasy performance. Although he's scored in each of his last two games, he's failed to reach 50 receiving yards in any of his last six contests, making him a risky fantasy option in Week 16 despite facing a weak Jacksonville defense that has a depleted secondary.

Cooper caught two of three targets for 10 yards and carried twice for minus-seven yards during Sunday's 41-33 win over the 49ers.

Cooper had found the end zone in three straight games but struggled in this one as he faced tight coverage from the respectable San Francisco secondary, which held him to a pair of five-yard receptions. The team tried to get him involved as a rusher, but a four-yard gain followed by an 11-yard loss actually subtracted from his scrimmage yards on the day. While this was a poor performance, it was actually Cooper's second worst of the season after his one-catch effort against the Eagles in Week 8. He will try to get back on track in the rematch versus Philadelphia next Sunday.

Bowden secured six of seven targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 22-12 win over the Patriots.

Bowden led the team in targets with DeVante Parker (hamstring), Mike Gesicki (shoulder) and Jakeem Grant (hamstring) all sidelined Sunday, and he managed fair fantasy production in PPR formats despite being limited to mediocre yardage. Depending on the health of Miami's receiving corps when Dec. 26's game against the Raiders rolls around, the rookie third-round pick could play another notable role on offense.

Chark caught four of five targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Ravens.

Baltimore had this game in hand early and went into halftime with a 26-0 lead, but Jacksonville's pass catchers didn't benefit much from the negative game script. Chark clearly remains the Jaguars' No. 1 wide receiver, but that hasn't meant much lately with him posting only 12 catches for 154 yards and zero touchdowns over his past four games. A matchup with the Bears in Week 16 is unlikely to improve his outlook.

Robinson caught four passes for 83 yards in Chicago's 33-27 victory over the Vikings on Sunday.

With the Bears leading this game throughout, the team attempted just 21 passes, leading to Robinson seeing just five targets. However, a 35-yard catch and run in the fourth quarter helped him salvage his fantasy day. He's now posted at least 74 yards in five of his last six games, and he'll be an excellent fantasy option in Week 16 against a weak Jacksonville defense that has a depleted secondary.

Jefferson brought in eight of 11 targets for 104 yards in the Vikings' 33-27 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

The rookie added to his stellar first-year numbers with Sunday's team-leading yardage haul, comfortably pacing the Vikings in catches and targets as well for good measure. Jefferson saw a downturn to just 39 receiving yards versus the Buccaneers secondary Week 14, so Sunday's production represented a resurgence at a timely point for the LSU product's fantasy managers. Jefferson will look to carry over Sunday's momentum into a Week 16 road showdown against the Saints on Christmas Day.

Evans secured six of seven targets for 110 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Evans was the only one of the top receiving trio of himself, Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown to not find the end zone, but he led the team's pass catchers in receptions and receiving yardage while tying for the lead in targets. The multi-time Pro Bowler last crossed the 100-yard mark back in Week 4, so the boost in production was especially timely for fantasy managers and atoned for Evans' second straight game without a touchdown grab. Evans will look to stay hot in a favorable Week 16 matchup versus the Lions on Saturday afternoon.

Gallup won't return to Sunday's contest against the 49ers due to a hip injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

While the announcement came without context, Gallup will finish his day with three catches (on five targets) for 26 yards and one touchdown. The score marked just his third of the season on his 90 targets at the time of his departure. In the wake of this health concern, the Cowboys' receiver group has been whittled down to Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, Noah Brown and Cedrick Wilson.

Arcega-Whiteside is inactive for Sunday's Week 15 tilt against the Cardinals.

The second-year wideout will be out of uniform for the sixth straight game. Arcega-Whiteside has just two receptions for 45 yards on five targets this season, and he hasn't come close to matching the 28 snaps he logged back in Week 1 in the other six games during which he's garnered an active designation.

Hightower (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

The rookie is a healthy scratch for the second straight game as the Eagles move forward with Quez Watkins and Travis Fulgham as their No. 4 and No. 5 receivers against Arizona.
