  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Rams' Josh Reynolds: Makes most of playing time

    Reynolds caught four of his five targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 34-7 win over Arizona. He played just 29 of 79 offensive snaps.

    Reynolds was once again fourth in the pecking order for playing time among Rams wideouts, but he was busy when on the field. The third-year receiver will struggle to produce reliable fantasy numbers because of the depth of the Los Angeles receiving corps, but once again he proved capable of taking advantage of the opportunities provided to him.

  • Rams' Brandin Cooks: Underwhelming season continues

    Cooks caught both of his targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 34-7 win over Arizona.

    The sixth-year receiver has been one of the biggest fantasy disappointments of the season with just 31 receptions for 458 yards and a lone touchdown through 10 games. Additionally, Cooks is likely to dip below 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since his rookie campaign in 2014, and Sunday's poor showing is even more concerning because the Rams scored 34 points against the Cards. Owners in dynasty/keeper formats shouldn't ignore the potential impact Cooks' concussions have had on his play, though, and he's definitely a bounce-back candidate heading into 2020 -- especially if his numbers improve over the final weeks of the season. In yearly settings, it's hard to rely on the big-play threat at this stage of the game.

  • Ashton Dulin WR | IND

    Colts' Ashton Dulin: Gets first NFL reception

    Dulin had one reception for 13 yards in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.

    The undrafted free agent rookie from Division II level Malone University had his first career reception as he was pressed into duty with Chester Rogers suffering a knee injury. With Rogers placed on IR, Dulin could work as the No. 3 receiver next week in an enticing matchup against Tampa Bay if T.Y. Hilton (calf) and Parris Campbell (hand) remain sidelined.

  • Packers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Held without catch again

    Valdes-Scantling was targeted twice but did not catch a pass in Sunday's victory over the Giants.

    Valdes-Scantling finished a distant fourth among Packers receivers in snaps and was held without a reception for the third time in four games. Simply put, there is little reason to expect any help from him in fantasy lineups these days.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Targeted seven times in Week 13

    Meyers was on the field for 61 of a possible 87 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Texans.

    Meyers caught three of his seven targets for 46 yards Sunday, but looking ahead, he could see his workload reduced once Mohamed Sanu (19 snaps) and Phillip Dorsett (22 snaps) are closer to 100 percent.

  • Patriots' Phillip Dorsett: Two catches in Week 13

    Dorsett was on the field for 62 of a possible 87 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Texans.

    In his return from a one-game absence due to a concussion, Dorsett hauled in two of his six targets for 15 yards. He'll look to bounce back in Week 14 against the Chiefs, but steady volume figures to be an issue for Dorsett down the stretch, with Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sanu, Jakobi Meyers and first-round pick N'Keal Harry also in the team's wide receiver mix.

  • N'Keal Harry TE | SEA

    Patriots' N'Keal Harry: Records 22 snaps Sunday

    Harry logged 22 of a possible 87 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Texans.

    Harry didn't haul in his only target of the game, which occurred in the first quarter. Per Ryan Hannable of WEEI.com, Harry ran a slant on that target, "but (Houston's) Bradley Roby broke inside of him stopping his route, and was able to easily pick off Tom Brady's pass." After that, the rookie wideout saw limited playing time Sunday night. Though Harry has long-term upside, for now he's a speculative fantasy play, and volume figures to be an issue for him now that Mohamed Sanu and Phillip Dorsett are back in action.

  • Steven Sims WR | ARI

    Redskins' Steven Sims: Fills in for injured Quinn

    Sims caught three of four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Panthers.

    The undrafted rookie played a season-high 58 percent of snaps on offense, filling in as the No. 3 receiver after Trey Quinn suffered a concussion in the first half. Sims had a kick return touchdown the previous week and a 65-yard rushing score earlier in the year, so any contributions he makes as a pass catcher might be seen as a bonus. He should get another look in the No. 3 role if Quinn is inactive for Week 14's game at Green Bay.

  • 49ers' Marquise Goodwin: Active, but no offensive snaps

    Goodwin only played one snap on special teams in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Baltimore.

    Goodwin has fallen from starting wideout to a ghost on special teams over the course of this season. The project of trying to turn the Olympic sprinter into an every-down receiver may be over in San Francisco. We may see Goodwin surface again in some capacity this season, but for now it appears that he has fallen out of favor on the depth chart.

  • 49ers' Kendrick Bourne: Holds onto No. 3 receiver role

    Bourne caught all three of his targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Ravens.

    The 24-year-old's 42 yards actually paced all San Francisco receivers on a day when the rushing attack led the charge. Deebo Samuel has emerged as the starter opposite deadline acquisition Emmanuel Sanders, but Bourne has surpassed both Marquise Goodwin and Dante Pettis (knee) as the No. 3 receiver on the depth chart. Bourne is still a touchdown-dependent fantasy asset however, as he has surpassed 50 yards receiving just once this season (three catches for 69 yards back in Week 7). He should be considered a deep-league option at best against the Saints on Sunday.
