  • Miles Boykin WR | CHI

    Ravens' Miles Boykin: Sees one target Monday

    Boykin caught his lone target for a 15-yard gain in Monday's win over the Browns.

    Boykin's snap share has ticked back up in recent weeks -- he played 87 percent of the snaps against the Cowboys in Week 13 and 70 percent of the snaps Monday. However, Boykin drew just four targets between those contests and he rates very low among receivers in air yards per game (21.5) and air yards per snap (0.66). Boykin draws a favorable matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday, but he remains behind a number of other Baltimore pass-catchers in the pecking order for targets.

  • Chiefs' Demarcus Robinson: Minimal impact versus Dolphins

    Robinson reeled in his lone target for just 13 yards versus the Dolphins.

    Robinson primarily serves as a blocker for the Chiefs on offense, having finished with four or more catches just four times through the first 13 games. That's unlikely to change as long as the team still boasts its full allotment of weapons, which includes arguably the league's top tight end and a capable pass-catching back in Clyde Edwards-Helaire to go along with star wideout Tyreek Hill.

  • Mecole Hardman WR | BUF

    Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Scores as returner

    Hardman reached the end zone on a punt return while also reeling in each of his three targets for another 40 yards Sunday versus the Dolphins.

    Hardman also coughed up a fumble while running into the Miami red zone, though the subsequent Dolphins drive resulted in a safety. The second-year wideout once again posted a snap count percentage in the low 30s, which seems unlikely to change as long as the full complement of receivers is available. He could regain some fantasy value next season if the Chiefs elect to part ways with Sammy Watkins and/or Demarcus Robinson.

  • Raiders' Bryan Edwards: Posts another dud

    Edwards was not targeted in Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Colts.

    Edwards logged 20 offensive snaps for just the second time since the Raiders' Week 6 bye as the Colts grew a large lead in the second half, but the rookie failed to translate his playing time into production. He's gone since Week 3 without a multi-reception effort, and that trend may continue this week on Thursday Night Football against the Chargers.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Fumbles in loss to Colts

    Renfrow caught five passes for 38 yards on seven targets and returned one punt for 11 yards in Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Colts. He also lost a fumble.

    Renfrow's costly fumble came with the Raiders already down two scores in the fourth quarter, ultimately clinching a victory for the Colts. Nonetheless, Renfrow has been dealt six or more targets in three consecutive contests, averaging 5.3 catches per game during this stretch. He'll look to stay busy on Thursday Night Football this week against the Chargers.

  • DeVante Parker WR | PHI

    Dolphins' DeVante Parker: Tending to strained hamstring

    Parker suffered a slight hamstring strain during the Dolphins' Week 14 loss to the Chiefs, and his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots is to be determined, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Parker was forced out of this past Sunday's contest with what was termed a leg injury, and while he was deemed questionable to return, he was unable to get back on the field. He thus was blanked on his two targets, marking just the second time this season he's failed to reach 30 receiving yards in a game. Miami reconvenes for practice Wednesday, at which point the team will set the stage for his initial Week 15 status.

  • Brandon Powell WR | MIN

    Falcons' Brandon Powell: Tears off long return

    Powell corralled his only target for a nine-yard gain, adding one kick-return attempt for 22 yards and three punt returns for 40 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Chargers.

    Powell's 20-yard punt return at the 9:07 mark of the fourth quarter situated Atlanta near midfield with a chance to take the lead, however, Matt Ryan committed the first of a pair of late-game interceptions 11 plays later. The Florida product will likely continue to carry a peripheral offensive role for weeks when the receiving corps is depleted by injury. Most of his value, however, resides on special teams where he's averaging a respectable 9.3 yards per attempt on punt returns this season.

  • Falcons' Laquon Treadwell: Tallies first TD with new team

    Treadwell hauled in his lone target for a nine-yard touchdown during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Chargers.

    With Treadwell having resided on Atlanta's practice squad for most of the campaign, Week 14 marked just the second time all season he's been active for a game. The 2016 first-round draft choice was afforded extra opportunity with Julio Jones (hamstring) sitting out his fourth contest of 2020 and Olamide Zaccheaus (toe) residing on IR. Looking ahead to a Week 15 matchup against Tampa Bay, Treadwell's workload is liable to remain sparse unless there are injuries above him on the WR depth chart.

  • Browns' Donovan Peoples-Jones: Steps in as No. 3 WR

    Peoples-Jones caught three of five targets for 74 yards in Monday's 47-42 loss to the Ravens.

    The rookie out of Michigan showed off his big-play ability for the second straight week by catching a 37-yard pass, and he has 166 receiving yards the last two weeks as a fill-in for No. 3 wideout KhaDarel Hodge (hamstring). For the season, Peoples-Jones is averaging 23.8 yards per reception.

  • Greg Ward WR | IND

    Eagles' Greg Ward: Targeted five times in victory

    Ward caught two of his five targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over New Orleans.

    Ward continues to see healthy target totals. He has at least three in all but one game this season, and at least five in all but four outings. He hasn't converted the opportunities into yardage however, as he has topped 45 yards just twice all year, and the Eagles' change at quarterback to Jalen Hurts didn't spark Ward to break that pattern.
