  • Keenan Allen WR | SF

    Chargers' Keenan Allen: Solid numbers in big win

    Allen caught five of six targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 45-10 rout of the Jaguars.

    The Chargers' backfield was the engine of the offense in this one, and as a result Allen saw only six targets for the second straight game after getting 10 or more in four of the prior five contests. Despite the reduced workload, the veteran receiver posted his highest yardage total since he torched the Texans for 183 yards in Week 3. Allen is now only 53 yards shy of his third straight 1,000-yard campaign, a mark he'll look to reach next week when the Chargers host the Vikings.

  • Jets' Ty Montgomery: Could become Week 15 starter

    Montgomery rushed nine times for 31 yards and caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over Miami.

    With Le'Veon Bell (illness) out, Montgomery got 12 touches to Bilal Powell's 21. Powell suffered an ankle injury on New York's final drive, and coach Adam Gase wasn't sure of the injury's severity after the game. New York faces a quick turnaround with another game coming up Thursday against the Ravens, and Montgomery would be in line for the start if neither Bell nor Powell can go. Bell is likely to be healthy by then, but this is certainly a situation worth monitoring.

  • Alex Erickson WR | HOU

    Bengals' Alex Erickson: Leads team in targets

    Erickson caught five of seven targets for 45 yards during Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Browns.

    Erickson led the team in targets and tied for first in receptions, but he was mostly limited to short gains and finished with modest yardage. He's seen 17 targets over the last three games, but that has translated into just nine catches for 109 receiving yards. Despite his involvement, Erickson carries little fantasy value and this should remain the case next Sunday against the Patriots.

  • Jets' Jamison Crowder: Quiet in last three weeks

    Crowder caught three of seven targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over Miami.

    Crowder has faded back into obscurity after three consecutive games with over 75 yards and a touchdown, totaling seven catches for 56 yards in three games since. His floor is higher in PPR formats, but Crowder will be tough to trust regardless of format against the Ravens in Week 15.

  • Robbie Chosen WR | WAS

    Jets' Robby Anderson: Building momentum

    Anderson caught seven of 11 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-21 win over the Dolphins.

    Anderson's 26-yard touchdown in the first quarter was his third in the past four games, and he's now topped 100 yards in consecutive games after doing so only once in the first 11. Just as he did last year, Anderson appears to be closing out the season on a high note. He'll face stiffer competition Week 15, with the Jets visiting Baltimore on Thursday.

  • Marquise Brown WR | PHI

    Ravens' Marquise Brown: Finishes with negative yardage

    Brown caught all three of his targets while losing two yards during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Bills.

    Facing a difficult matchup, Brown managed a long gain of just five yards. Unfortunately, he lost yardage on his other two grabs and finished with a rather unique stat line. In fact, Brown finished with just one yard a week ago and hardly looks like the explosive downfield threat he was early in the season. He will look to get back on track Thursday against the Jets.

  • Buccaneers' Breshad Perriman: Game-winning touchdown in victory

    Perriman secured three of five targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Perriman saw extra targets with Mike Evans (hamstring) out of action from the late first quarter on, and he was able to deliver a 12-yard touchdown reception with 3:51 remaining to seal the victory. Perriman now has eight receptions (11 targets) for 157 yards and Sunday's score over the last two weeks, and he could be set to serve as the No. 2 wideout the rest of the campaign if the hamstring injury Evans suffered Sunday turns out to be as serious as feared.

  • DJ Chark WR | ATL

    Jaguars' D.J. Chark Jr.: Exits Sunday's game

    Chark (ankle) was forced out of Sunday's game against the Chargers with an ankle injury.

    Prior to his exit from the contest, Chark was a bright spot for the Jaguars, who were in the process of being routed by the Chargers. The wideout had logged nine catches on 10 targets for 75 yards before tweaking his ankle.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Paces pass catchers in win

    Godwin brought in seven of nine targets for 91 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Godwin paced the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yardage and targets for the afternoon, but on a day when Jameis Winston comfortably eclipsed 400 passing yards, the receiver's day could arguably be considered somewhat underwhelming from a fantasy perspective. Nevertheless, Godwin's yardage tally was his second highest since Week 6, so it did represent a nice bump over his average in recent weeks. Additionally, with Mike Evans having suffered what may be a serious hamstring injury Sunday, Godwin could be set to serve as the No. 1 wideout in coach Bruce Arians' high-powered attack for what remains of the campaign.

  • Marvin Jones WR | DET

    Lions' Marvin Jones: Held in check

    Jones hauled in three of seven targets for 38 yards in the team's Week 14 loss to the Vikings.

    Jones racked up seven targets but managed to convert fewer than half into receptions. His longest gain of the day came midway through the first quarter, when he hauled in an 18-yard reception down the right sideline. On a positive note, Jones has shown some rapport with third-string quarterback David Blough, racking up 13 targets in two games with Blough under center. Jones will draw an exploitable matchup in Week 15 as the Lions take on the Buccaneers.
