  • Eagles' J.J. Arcega-Whiteside: No catches in win

    Arcega-Whiteside could not corral either of his two targets in Sunday's 37-27 win over Washington.

    Arcega-Whiteside played 71 of 77 offensive snaps in the contest but was not a factor from a statistical standpoint. Among Eagles getting any targets, he saw the fewest while Greg Ward saw nine, turning them into seven catches for 61 yards and a score. Even with all the injuries to Philadelphia's wide receiver group, JJAW doesn't seem likely to provide much fantasy value over the final two weeks.

  • Zach Pascal WR | NYG

    Colts' Zach Pascal: Makes four grabs

    Pascal caught four of six targets for 44 yards in Monday night's 34-7 loss to the Saints.

    Pascal led the Colts in catches and receiving yards despite top wideout T.Y. Hilton returning from injury to top the team in targets. Hilton didn't produce much at all prior to Indy's final offensive drive though, and it was Pascal who went for a team-long, 24-yard reception earlier. Even with Hilton back -- and especially if he's on a snap count -- Pascal should remain one of Jacoby Brissett's primary options going into the final two weeks of the season.

  • Saints' Michael Thomas: Monster effort in blowout win

    Thomas corralled all 12 of his targets for 128 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 34-7 win over the Colts on Monday.

    Thomas was superb Monday, bringing in every one of the team-leading 12 targets thrown his way. With the huge stat line, the fourth-year receiver adds to a career year in which he's already crushed his previous bests in receiving yards and receptions. Heading into Week 16, Thomas boasts totals of 133 receptions and 1,552 receiving yards. Both of those figures lead the NFL, and Thomas sits just 11 receptions away from breaking Marvin Harrison's single-season receptions record. He'll have a chance to make history when the Saints travel to Tennessee in Week 16.

  • Cardinals' Andy Isabella: Gets two touches Week 15

    Isabella lost one yard on his only carry and recorded a four-yard catch on his only target during Sunday's 38-24 victory over the Browns.

    Limited by a shoulder injury in practice last week, Isabella still managed to receive his usual share of offensive snaps (25 percent). However, he's been unable to strike as he did in Weeks 9 and 10, when he had an 88-yard TD and 55-yard reception, respectively. Otherwise, Isabella has managed 71 yards from scrimmage on his 11 other touches. He'll look to end his rookie season on a high note, starting with a Week 16 matchup versus a Seahawks defense that has surrendered the seventh-most catches (184) to wide receivers through 14 games.

  • Spencer Schnell: Joining Buccaneers' practice squad

    Schnell signed with the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Schnell spent the preseason with Tampa Bay, playing in all four games and catching seven passes for 119 yards. The rookie receiver likely will not find himself on the active roster right away, but with Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) both injured, he could find himself an injury or two away from having a role in the offense.

  • Rams' Brandin Cooks: Target spike yields little

    Cooks caught just four of his eight targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 44-21 loss to Dallas.

    This was Cooks' largest target total since he received nine looks Week 4 against Tampa Bay, and while his receiving numbers were still his best since recording four catches for 59 yards against Atlanta in Week 7, these numbers weren't good enough for fantasy owners or the Rams. Cooks entered 2019 as one of the most consistent receivers in the league with five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, so there's potential his multiple concussions have hindered his play more than anything. As it stands, and at this stage of the season, he remains a risky start in most fantasy settings.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Rams' Josh Reynolds: Relegated role against Cowboys

    Reynolds caught two of his four targets for 36 yards during Sunday's 44-21 loss to Dallas. He played 26 of 73 offensive snaps.

    After receiving the second most playing time among Los Angeles receivers last week, Reynolds ranked fourth among Rams wideouts Sunday. He continues to show well when given opportunities, but his role is both small and inconsistent, so he's an unreliable fantasy asset in most formats. It's definitely worth noting that he showed off in open space again, taking a short pass for 28 yards.

  • Cole Beasley WR | NYG

    Bills' Cole Beasley: Limited to one catch

    Beasley caught one of six targets for six yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Steelers.

    After three straight weeks with a touchdown, Beasley struggled Sunday, finishing with a season-low one catch. The rest of the Bills' passing offense struggled as well against a tough Pittsburgh defense. Beasley will look to bounce back against the Patriots in Week 16.

  • Bills' Isaiah McKenzie: Goes without a target

    McKenzie did not receive a target in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Steelers.

    McKenzie was uninvolved on a night where Josh Allen only threw 25 times, with 10 of his targets going to John Brown. McKenzie, a third-year receiver, has only 23 catches for 236 yards this season.

  • Richie James WR | KC

    49ers' Richie James: Plays three snaps Sunday

    James only played three snaps in Sunday's 29-22 loss to the Falcons.

    James sits at the bottom of San Francisco's wide receiver depth chart, and he will likely remain there barring an injury. His contributions should continue to come mostly on special teams.
