Snead caught three of four targets for 13 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bills.

Snead tied for the team lead in targets, and although none of his catches went for more than seven yards, he salvaged his performance with a short touchdown grab in the fourth quarter. The veteran now has three touchdowns in his last three games, giving him a new career high of five for the season. Snead hasn't surpassed 18 receiving yards in any of his last eight outings, however, and will be a risky fantasy play Thursday against the Jets.

Beasley caught four of seven targets for 29 yards and a touchdown, plus a two-point conversion, during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Ravens.

Beasley finished third on the team in targets, and although he finished second in receptions, his mark of 7.3 yards per catch was rather unimpressive. He did manage to haul in a three-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, however, giving him three scores in his last three games. Beasley is up to six trips to the end zone on the season and will look to add to his numbers next Sunday against the Steelers.

Cain caught his only target for 22 yards in Pittsburgh's 23-17 win over Arizona on Sunday.

Since joining Pittsburgh last month, Cain has caught exactly one pass in each of the three games in which he has played. There is little reason to expect his volume to increase in Week 15 against the Bills and even less reason he should be rostered by fantasy owners.

Zaccheaus hauled in one of two targets for 93 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 40-20 win against Carolina.

It surely can be said that Zaccheaus' first NFL reception was memorable, as his catch and run provided Atlanta with its longest play from scrimmage all season. The rookie's monstrous gain culminated in a 93-yard score to provide Atlanta with a three-possession lead at the 6:30 mark of the third quarter. Though his final fantasy output in Week 14 was eye-catching, Zaccheaus' overall offensive involvement hasn't been near the requisite level to make him a trustworthy fantasy starter.

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.
