Gage caught five of six targets for 27 receiving yards and ran for six yards on his lone rush attempt during Sunday's 29-22 win against the 49ers.

The LSU product has now been held to 50 combined scrimmage yards over the past two weeks, but it's encouraging that he's been a highly-involved contributor amidst the depleted Falcons' receiving corps. Gage has garnered six-plus targets over three of his past four appearances heading into a Week 16 matchup against a Jacksonville defense that Sunday allowed just one opposing player -- Oakland's Darren Waller -- to exceed 45 receiving yards.

Williams caught four of nine targets for 71 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 39-10 loss to the Vikings.

Williams finished second on the team behind only Keenan Allen in targets, receptions and receiving yardage. He gave his team its only lead of the game with a two-yard touchdown in the second quarter, giving him two in as many weeks after going the first 12 games without a score. Williams also broke off a gain of at least 35 yards for the seventh straight game and will look to continue his breakout season in a favorable matchup next Sunday against the Raiders.

Diggs caught four of six targets for 76 yards and rushed once for four yards during Sunday's 39-10 win over the Chargers.

Diggs led the team in targets, averaging 19.0 yards per catch thanks largely to his long gain of 46 yards. He could have had an even better stat line had the game remained competitive, but five turnovers from the home team greatly affected the game flow. Still, Diggs went over the 1,000-yard mark for the season and should be busier in next Monday's pivotal game against the Packers.

Thielen caught all three of his targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 39-10 win over the Chargers.

Thielen returned from a long injury absence and did little of note despite his team's dominance on the scoreboard. This was quite a letdown for fantasy owners who patiently awaited Thielen's return to the lineup, but the particular flow of this game likely played a big part in Thielen's tepid production. Barring a setback, he should assume a larger role in a more competitive game against the Packers next Monday.

Allen caught nine of 10 targets for 99 yards during Sunday's 39-10 loss to the Vikings.

Allen was targeted heavily with his team trailing throughout, and he finished with his best receiving output since Week 3 as a result. His long gain went for just 19 yards, but his heavy usage helped him to a solid day from a fantasy perspective. Allen's big game puts him over 1,000 yards for the season, and he should remain heavily involved during next Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Cooper caught one of two targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 44-21 win over the Rams.

His day mirrored that of the Cowboys' entire wide-receiver group, as the team leaned heavily on a dominant running game to generate offense. Cooper, Michael Gallup and Randall Cobb combined to produce three catches for only 22 yards, and Tavon Austin surprisingly led the team's WRs thanks to one 59-yard TD catch. Cooper will look to rebound next Sunday with the NFC East title on the line in Philadelphia, facing an Eagles defense he posted a 5-106-0 line against in Week 7.

Woods caught four of nine targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 44-21 loss to the Cowboys.

Jared Goff had accuracy issues for most of the game, and Woods arguably suffered the most from his QB's scattershot efforts. On the bright side, the veteran receiver has seen at least nine targets in each of his last five games, but Sunday's output was a far cry from the eight grabs and 115 yards he averaged over the prior four contests. Woods will look to bounce back next Saturday in a road clash with the 49ers.

Kupp caught all six of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-21 loss to the Cowboys.

The receiver salvaged his fantasy line with a fourth-quarter score after the game was far out of reach. Kupp has now hit pay dirt in three straight games, snagging all 16 of his targets for 151 yards over that stretch, and he'll try to continue his late-season surge next Saturday on the road against the 49ers.

Kirk caught four of five targets for 33 yards and rushed once for 28 yards in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Browns.

Kirk was pretty much held in check in the passing game, where he trailed Damiere Byrd and Larry Fitzgerald in yards, but he at least salvaged some production with a career-long rush. The second-year pro also caught at least four passes for the ninth time in 11 appearances this season. He was shaken up at one point during the game, but ended up finishing the contest. Kirk will aim for a better overall outing in Week 16 versus the Seahawks.

Byrd caught all six of his targets for 86 yards in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Browns.

Byrd led Arizona across the board in receiving, putting together the best performance of his four-year career. The speedster's showing was highlighted by a 51-yard catch during the second quarter, helping set up a touchdown prior to halftime. Nonetheless, there's little to suggest that Byrd can be trusted to approach such high production going forward.
