Perriman caught three of six targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Seahawks.

He led the Jets in targets and tied Braxton Berrios for the team lead in receptions, but Perriman failed to do much with his opportunities. The 27-year-old wideout has managed only an 8-127-0 line on 18 targets over the last three games, giving him little momentum heading into Week 15's road matchup with the Rams.

Chark recorded two receptions on nine targets for 16 yards in Week 14 against the Titans.

Chark was third on the team with nine targets -- his highest mark since Week 9. However, he failed to get on the same page as either Mike Glennon or Gardner Minshew, leaving with him another subpar performance. Given the lack of clarity regarding who will be under center for the Jaguars in Week 15 against the Ravens and the difficulty of the matchup, it will be tough for Chark to produce regardless of his target volume.

Valdes-Scantling secured all six of his targets for 85 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-24 win against the Lions.

After being held without a catch for a second consecutive outing last Sunday afternoon against the Eagles, Valdes-Scantling provided his third-greatest receiving total of the 2020 campaign during a road trip to Detroit. Also of note, Valdes-Scantling doubled the target share of Allen Lazard during Week 14, a change of events after Lazard out-targeted the South Florida product 14-8 over the Packers' preceding three games. Given an array of huge fantasy weeks contrasted by three zero-catch performances this season, Valdes-Scantling represents a high-risk, high-reward proposition as the Packers prepare to host the Panthers in Week 15.

Aiyuk caught 10 of 16 targets for 119 yards during Sunday's 23-15 loss to Washington.

Deebo Samuel (hamstring) left the game on the second play from scrimmage, leaving Aiyuk to carry the passing attack. That he did, setting new career highs in targets, catches and receiving yards as the rest of the offense struggled to move the ball. This career game continues an excellent run of form for Aiyuk, who is now averaging 99.0 yards and 7.2 catches per game over his last five. The rookie will look to continue his ascent next Sunday against the Cowboys.

Johnson caught six of his seven targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in the 20-17 win Sunday over the Falcons.

Johnson, not Jalen Guyton, was the primary beneficiary following an injury to Mike Williams (back). Not only did the second-year wideout record his second career touchdown reception, he also got open for a critical 25-yard reception on the second-to-last play of the game to set up the game-winning 43-yard field goal. Against a vulnerable Raiders defense next week, Johnson could be an excellent late-season pickup across fantasy leagues depending on the health status of Williams.

McLaurin caught two of six targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 23-15 win over the 49ers.

McLaurin faced a difficult matchup in this one and things got worse when Alex Smith (calf) departed with a minor injury in the second quarter. The second-year wideout has had a rough go of it over the last two games as he's hauled in just four of 12 targets for 38 yards with no touchdowns. Assuming Smith is able to play next Sunday against the Seahawks, McLaurin will have an excellent chance to bounce back against one of the most porous secondaries in the league.

Allen caught nine of his 11 targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in the 20-17 win Sunday over the Falcons.

Sunday's touchdown tied Allen's career high in a season, but perhaps more impressively, the veteran route runner continues to score from at least 10 yards out. An injury to Mike Williams (back) allowed the Falcons' secondary to converge even more tightly on Allen, which set the stage for Tyron Johnson (6-55-1) to have a career day, but the 28-year-old Allen was still a critical factor on the penultimate drive that ultimately saw Justin Herbert stare down Allen for what appeared to be a game-ending interception. Considering Allen's connection with Herbert and incredible usage rate (144 targets through 13 games), it's hard to imagine a dud the rest of the way given the number of vulnerable defenses left on the schedule. Coach Anthony Lynn said after the game that Allen was dealing with some soreness late in the contest, per Gilbert Manzano of the Orange County Register, so the receiver's practice participation will be worth monitoring with a short turnaround before Thursday's game against the Raiders.

Adams corralled seven of 10 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-24 win against the Lions.

Adams helped Green Bay pose a response to Detroit's opening-drive TD, demonstrating his elite skill set during a 56-yard jaunt. Not only did the three-time Pro Bowler outmaneuver cornerback Amani Oruwariye for the contested catch, but he also weaved past a trio of Lions defenders en route to his 14th score of the season. Adams currently holds an eight-game scoring streak, with an incredible 12 TDs since Week 7. Had he not missed two games in September and October because of a hamstring injury, Adams may be more seriously contending with Randy Moss' single-season receiving TD record of 23 (2007). With Aaron Rodgers under center, Adams is as matchup-proof as they come heading into a Week 15 Saturday night showdown against the Panthers.

Agholor caught five of nine targets for 100 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Colts.

Agholor led the team in receiving yardage while finishing second in targets and catches. He scored a 21-yard touchdown in the second quarter to bring him within one of his career high of eight in a single season. Agholor's production has varied a bit from week to week, but he's averaged 5.0 catches and 70 yards per game over the last four heading into Thursday's matchup with the Chargers.

Higgins recorded five receptions on eight targets for 49 yards in Week 14 against the Cowboys.

Higgins finished second on the team with eight targets, as only Tyler Boyd surpassed him. While he didn't turn that into massive production, Higgins did manage to turn in receptions of 18 and 15 yards. While Higgins has flashed promise throughout his rookie campaign, he has failed to surpass 60 yards in any game since Joe Burrow's (knee) absence. Depending on the health of their secondary, Higgins could face a tough matchup in Week 15 against the Steelers.
