Godwin secured two of three targets for 25 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-14 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Godwin was able to suit up for his first game since having the pins in his surgically repaired index finger removed, but he played a very minor role on a day when Tom Brady put the ball up a season-low 23 times. The Penn State product's catch and yardage tallies were season-low figures, but he'll look to revert to his usual numbers in a favorable Week 15 road divisional matchup against the Falcons.

Kirk caught three of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Giants.

Kirk could have salvaged his day by getting over the goal line on his first catch, but he was tackled at the one-yard line. The third-year man out of Texas A&M has all but disappeared from Arizona's offense following a stretch of five touchdowns in three games, totaling 15 catches for 112 yards without a touchdown over the five subsequent contests. Kirk will try to get back on track against the Eagles in Week 15.

Evans brought in three of five targets for 56 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-14 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Evans' relatively modest receiving yardage tally nevertheless led the Buccaneers on an afternoon in which Tom Brady put the ball up just 23 times. The multi-time Pro Bowler also tied Antonio Brown for the team lead in targets and showed no ill effects from the hamstring issue that plagued him during the practice week. Evans now has failed to exceed Sunday's yardage total in three straight games, a dubious streak he'll look to put behind him versus the vulnerable Falcons secondary Week 15.

Thielen brought in three of four targets for 39 yards in the Vikings' 26-14 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

The shockingly meager numbers were some of Thielen's lowest of the season and came in the wake of a 20-241-5 line over the previous three games. The veteran wideout did come close to extending a streak of at least one touchdown catch to four games, but he was unable to come up with what would have been a spectacular one-handed catch in the right portion of the end zone. Thielen will look to bounce back at the expense of a Bears squad he rung up for two touchdowns back in Week 10 in a Week 15 divisional rematch.

Anderson reeled in eight of 12 targets for 84 yards, adding two rushes for 13 yards during Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Broncos.

Anderson and Curtis Samuel (nine targets) served as the clear go-to options for Teddy Bridgewater, as DJ Moore (ankle) remained on the reserve/COVID-19 list for Sunday's tilt. Regardless of Moore's presence in the lineup, Anderson has been consistently posting viable fantasy numbers in 2020, surpassing his previous career high in receiving yards (941) by virtue of his Week 14 performance. A total of just two touchdowns has kept Anderson from the elite tier of the position, but a constant workload of 8.8 targets per game has helped him ascend into a Pro-Bowl candidate nonetheless. An upcoming matchup against Jaire Alexander and the Packers poses a challenge, with Green Bay surrendering the second-fewest WR receptions on the 2020 campaign.

Jefferson secured four of eight targets for 39 yards in the Vikings' 26-14 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also caught a two-point conversion pass.

The dynamic rookie frequently met his match in the form of an aggressive Buccaneers secondary Sunday, encountering plenty of tight coverage on his way to his lowest yardage tally since Week 8 against the Packers. Jefferson also saw a three game streak of at least one touchdown catch snapped, while his targets also dipped back into the single digits for the first time in three games. Despite the untimely downturn at the start of the fantasy postseason for many, Jefferson will look to atone in a Week 15 divisional battle against the Bears.

A back issue forced Williams to exit Sunday's game against the Falcons, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

Williams wasn't targeted prior to his departure, and if he's unable to return to the contest, he'll look to bounce back in time for the Chargers' upcoming Thursday night tilt against the Raiders.

Mooney caught two passes for 22 yards and a touchdown while adding a five-yard run in Chicago's 36-7 victory over the Texans on Sunday.

With Allen Robinson and the tight ends soaking up the majority of targets, Mooney made the most of his three touches, as he found the end zone for the first time in five games. He's only surpassed 43 yards twice this season, making him a low-upside option during the fantasy playoffs.

Hill caught three of seven targets for 79 yards and a touchdown while adding a 32-yard touchdown on his lone rushing attempt in Sunday's 33-27 win over the Dolphins.

Hill breathed life into Kansas City's offense with a 32-yard score on an end-around to cut Miami's lead to 10-7 in the second quarter, then put the Chiefs up 21-10 with a 44-yard touchdown catch early in the third. The star receiver's volume has bounced around, but Hill doesn't require many looks to take over a game, needing just four touches to post this gaudy stat line. Overall, Hill has now caught 14 touchdowns and run in two more heading into the Chiefs' high-profile Week 15 trip to New Orleans.

Samuel injured his hamstring during Sunday's game against Washington, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

On the first play from scrimmage, Samuel pulled up at the end of a nine-yard carry. He was deemed questionable to return, and if he's unable to do so, the 49ers will have just Brandon Aiyuk, Kendrick Bourne, Richie James and River Cracraft available at wide receiver.
