Moore caught one of two targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Rams.

After registering a 60-yard touchdown catch in Week 13's win over Minnesota, Moore fell back to earth with another light stat line. Moore only played 14 of a possible 67 offensive snaps, falling behind both Josh Gordon (37) and Malik Turner (15). The 24-year-old has the jets to make big plays, but he's not getting enough opportunities to be a dependable fantasy asset.

Cooks didn't catch either of his two targets during Sunday's 28-12 win over Seattle.

Cooks' miserable season continued against the Seahawks, and his limited playing time (27 of 70 offensive snaps) is another concern to add to the list. He's been held to just 12 receptions for 162 yards over the past seven games, and even with the Los Angeles offense clicking the past two weeks, it's impossible to count on Cooks in most fantasy formats.

Reynolds rushed three times for 29 yards during Sunday's 28-12 win over Seattle.

Interestingly, Reynolds didn't receive a target despite being on the field for the second most offensive snaps among all Los Angeles receivers. So, while it was encouraging to see him run well in open space, he's still not making a big enough fantasy impact to be relied on in most settings. However, the increased snap count is notable and worth keeping tabs on because Reynolds could gain value before the end of the season.

Samuel had five catches (eight targets) for 76 yards and rushed for 33 yards on two carries in Sunday's 48-46 win over New Orleans.

Samuel's line will understandably be dwarfed by Emmanuel Sanders' monstrous fantasy line -- seven catches, 157 yards, a receiving touchdown and a passing touchdown -- but the former's output is certainly worth paying attention to. The rookie has quietly put up five consecutive double-digit fantasy point performances as he continues to gain Jimmy Garoppolo's trust in a starting role. The Falcons rank in the bottom-third of the league in pass defense, and they have enough firepower on offense to potentially force the 49ers to feature a more pass-happy game plan, making Samuel viable in most formats for Week 15.

Coach Doug Marrone said Chark rolled his ankle Sunday against the Chargers and is considered "day-to-day or week-to-week," Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL reports.

Chark exited in the latter stages of the Jaguars' Week 14 defeat, finishing his day with nine catches (on 10 targets) for 75 yards. Considering Marrone couldn't hone in on a recovery timetable, Chark's ability to practice this week will be telling for his upcoming availability. Notably -- and perhaps as a precautionary measure -- Chark has been in a walking boot since postgame Sunday. Any sort of absence from Chark will whittle down the receiving corps, whose healthy members include Dede Westbrook, Chris Conley, Keelan Cole and Michael Walker.

Ridley (abdomen) indicated Monday that he's out for the season, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

With Ridley out of the mix, Julio Jones and Russell Gage will head the Falcons' receiving corps down the stretch, with Olamide Zaccheaus, Christian Blake and Justin Hardy all candidates to see added looks in the team's passing attack.

Bourne caught three of four targets for 18 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 48-46 win over the Saints.

Bourne's strong fantasy line was buoyed by a pair of TD grabs, bringing his season total up to a new career high of five through 13 games. The 24-year-old's nose for the end zone isn't a fluke, as his size (6-foot-1) makes him an ideal target on the outside when stacked up against his fellow wideouts, who all check in under six feet. Bourne maintained his spot as third on the wide receiver depth chart -- 57 percent of the offensive snaps -- but he doesn't garner enough targets (he's averaging three targets over the last three games) to be trusted outside of deeper formats, as his value is largely touchdown-dependent.

Valdes-Scantling played just 10 snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's victory over Washington.

The Packers used their tight ends more often than usual and mainly played three wide receivers Sunday, which resulted in Valdes-Scantling seeing the field less than he had in any other game this season. Valdes-Scantling has now totaled just two receptions for 11 yards since Week 7, which all but eliminates him as a fantasy option Week 15, even against a Bears defense that has been regularly beaten by opposing wide receivers of late.

Dorsett was on the field for 33 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chiefs.

Dorsett, who was out-snapped Sunday by Julian Edelman (66), Mohamed Sanu (39) and Jakobi Meyers (38), was targeted twice but didn't record a catch in the contest. He's something of a bounce-back candidate Week 15 against the Bengals, but volume could continue to be an issue for Dorsett down the stretch, given that QB Tom Brady's only consistent targets to date have been Julian Edelman and James White.

Meyers was on the field for 38 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chiefs, en route to hauling in one of his three target for 35 yards.

Looking ahead, Meyers profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option, as QB Tom Brady has yet to develop a consistent rapport in the passing game with anyone other than Julian Edelman and running back James White.
