Davis hauled in two of his four targets for 34 yards in the team's Week 14 win over the Raiders.

Davis was limited to a minimal role in the Titans' offense once again, with his biggest contribution coming on a 24-yard reception halfway through the second quarter. However, he was overshadowed by rookie A.J. Brown while also being outproduced by the likes of Tajae Sharpe and Jonnu Smith. Davis is in the midst of another disappointing season and has given little reason to expect a breakthrough, even in a positive matchup against the Texans in Week 15.

Lockett caught four of five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Rams.

After getting blanked by the Vikings last week, Lockett had his name called early and hauled in Russell Wilson's first pass of the game for two yards. However, it was still an unimpressive outing, as Lockett finished below 45 receiving yards for the fourth straight game. Lockett wasn't listed on the team's injury report during the practice week, so this looks like it was simply a valley in the wideout's volatile fantasy season. He's bound to break out again at some point, but it'll be tough in Week 15 against Carolina's stout pass defense (229.3 passing yards per game).

Metcalf caught all six targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Rams.

Metcalf paced the Seahawks in receiving yards for the second straight week, and it was the fourth time in five games the rookie surpassed 70 yards. During that stretch, the rookie second-rounder has become a dependable receiver for Russell Wilson with 27 receptions on 38 targets (71.1 percent catch rate) with an average of 14.4 yards per catch. Metcalf will be up against a tough Panthers pass defense (229.3 passing yards per game) in Week 15.

Watson secured five of eight targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Colts on Sunday. He also returned two punts for three yards.

The second-year receiver finally got an opportunity to show what he could do on offense after having been relegated to special teams the majority of the season. Injuries were responsible for Watson's opportunities Sunday, as the joint absences of Scott Miller (hamstring) and T.J. Logan (thumb) opened up the No. 4 receiver and top punt returner jobs, specifically. Watson was able to notch his first career score with a 17-yard grab late in the third quarter to cut into a 35-21 deficit. A prolific college receiver during his time at Penn, Watson will hope for an opportunity again in Week 15 against the vulnerable Lions defense, which could come even if Miller returns since Mike Evans (hamstring) seems likely to miss that contest at minimum.

Sims secured four of seven targets for 40 yards in the Redskins' 20-15 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Sims drew the start for Trey Quinn (concussion) in Sunday's contest and finished second on the team in receptions and receiving yards. The undrafted rookie has mainly been given opportunities as a kick returner this season, but his encouraging effort on offense Sunday could help him carve out additional snaps from scrimmage during the Redskins' three remaining games.

Conley secured one of three targets for seven yards in the Jaguars' 45-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

As his final line implies, Conley was disappointingly a bit player in the passing attack Sunday, although it was a lackluster day for the offense as a whole. The speedster had dealt with an ankle issue earlier in the week, so perhaps that still affected him to an extent. Conley had notched no fewer than four receptions in four of the five games prior to Sunday, and he'll look to up his numbers back to that level at minimum in a Week 15 matchup against the Raiders.

Smith caught two of four targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 48-46 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

He caught his second touchdown in three weeks, though he was only targeted four times on a day Drew Brees tossed 40 passes. Smith looked like he was going to be the hero of an intense shootout, crossing the goal line with just over 50 seconds remaining in the contest to put New Orleans up 46-45. Instead, the Niners marched down the field and kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired, spoiling New Orleans' comeback. Smith's arrow has been trending up over the last several weeks, but he's extremely difficult to trust on a weekly basis, especially in the fantasy playoffs.

Berrios failed to come down with the one ball thrown his way in Sunday's 22-21 win over Miami.

He added one punt return for 12 yards. Berrios is buried deep down the wide receiver depth chart, and he's not doing anything to show he deserves to climb higher.

Smith caught one of three targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over the Dolphins.

Smith's lone catch was a huge one, as it came on the first play of New York's final drive, which the Jets started down two with 1:33 remaining. He's shown big-play ability, but Smith isn't seeing nearly enough volume to consistently put that ability to use.

Johnson caught six of eight targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Pittsburgh's 23-17 win over Arizona on Sunday. He also ran once for 16 yards and scored on an 85-yard punt return.

Entering this contest, Johnson had averaged 7.1 yards per punt return with a long of 14 yards, but he took an Andy Lee punt to the house to give Pittsburgh an early 10-0 lead. Johnson had not scored in his last five games before doing so twice against Arizona, including the first kick return for a touchdown of his career. With fantasy playoffs underway, Johnson is a boom-or-bust play. Fantasy owners should temper expectations in Week 15 against a Buffalo pass defense that has held opposing wide receivers to just six touchdowns all season.
