  • Willie Snead WR | MIA

    Ravens' Willie Snead: Productive in Week 15 win

    Snead brought in five of six targets for 58 yards in the Ravens' 20-12 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Snead paced the Ravens pass catchers in both receptions and receiving yards on the day, continuing what has been a nice bounce-back campaign. The 26-year-old now has back-to-back five-catch efforts, and he's totaled at least 50 receiving yards in five the last six contests. Snead's yardage upside remains relatively capped overall due to a combination of Lamar Jackson's current limitations as a passer and Snead's own slot role, but he's been a serviceable asset in PPR formats. He'll look to generate another solid line against the Chargers in Week 16 Saturday night showdown.

  • Bills' Isaiah McKenzie: Returns after getting carted off

    McKenzie caught six of seven targets for 53 yards and rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 14-13 win over the Lions.

    McKenzie was carted off with a non-contact injury in the third quarter, but managed to return to the game. Seeing as McKenzie avoided a serious injury on the play, look for Buffalo to try to get the ball into the speedy playmaker's hands in Week 16 against the Patriots.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Rare bright spot in loss

    Evans brought in four of nine targets for 121 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-12 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    The catch rate left something to be desired, but Evans managed a highly appealing stat line from a fantasy standpoint. Over half of his production came on a 64-yard reception on a broken play, which helped lead to his seventh 100-yard effort of the season. The 25-year-old was kept out of the end zone again, however, and he 's now gone four consecutive games without a touchdown. He'll look to build on Sunday's effort versus a stingy Cowboys secondary in Week 16.

  • Amari Cooper WR | LV

    Cowboys' Amari Cooper: Held in check

    Cooper caught four of seven targets for 32 yards and added an 11-yard rush during Sunday's 23-0 loss to the Colts.

    Cooper came in with some big-time momentum after totaling 473 yards over the last three weeks, but he was held in check by an underrated Colts secondary. He recorded his lowest yardage total since joining his new team while posting his second-lowest catch total. Cooper will face a much more generous home matchup with the Buccaneers' porous secondary next Sunday and will look to get back to his productive ways.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: Disappoints in blowout win

    Thielen hauled in both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 41-17 win over Miami.

    After eclipsing 100 receiving yards in eight consecutive games to start the season, Thielen has done so only once over the past six, coming up short of 30 yards three times. Despite his recent decline in production, it will be tough to take Thielen out of the lineup against the Lions in Week 16, considering his robust totals of 105 catches for 1,255 yards and nine touchdowns this season.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | WAS

    Vikings' Stefon Diggs: Gets seventh receiving score

    Diggs caught four of seven targets for 49 yards and a touchdown while adding a nine-yard carry in Sunday's 41-17 win over the Dolphins.

    Diggs opened the scoring with a 13-yard touchdown just 3:20 into the contest, but he was pretty quiet the rest of the way as quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for just 215 yards. While Diggs has been held below 50 receiving yards twice in the past three games, he preceded this mediocre stretch with 322 yards over the previous three weeks and has four touchdowns over the past six games. Owners who have ridden him this far should continue to stick with Diggs against the Lions in Week 16.

  • Randall Cobb WR | NYJ

    Packers' Randall Cobb: Under evaluation for concussion

    Cobb was evaluated for a concussion near the end of Sunday's 24-17 loss at Chicago, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

    With the Packers down 24-14 and driving, Cobb hauled in a pass from Aaron Rodgers and was lit up by Eddie Jackson, drawing a flag that was eventually picked up. Cobb wasn't targeted thereafter and finished with three catches (on seven targets) for 30 yards. If he's diagnosed with a concussion, it would mark the first known head injury of Cobb's eight-year career.

  • 49ers' Marquise Goodwin: Suiting up Sunday

    Goodwin (calf) is listed as active Sunday versus the Seahawks.

    In his return last weekend from a two-game absence due to a personal issue, Goodwin ranked third among 49ers wide receivers (24 of 72 snaps on offense) behind Dante Pettis (61) and Kendrick Bourne (43). A similar amount of work can be expected against a Seattle defense that has conceded 8.5 YPT and 13 touchdowns to wideouts in 13 contest this season.

  • Tyler Boyd WR | TEN

    Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Exits game with knee injury

    Boyd was forced out of Sunday's game against the Raiders with a right knee injury.

    With Boyd now hurting, John Ross, Alex Erickson and Cody Core are next up for the Bengals' wideout targets.

  • Dante Pettis WR | SF

    49ers' Dante Pettis: Active Week 15

    Pettis (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    As expected, Pettis will be available in spite of logging limited practices Thursday and Friday. In three appearances since the 49ers' Week 11 bye, he's racked up 12 receptions (on 21 targets) for 255 yards and four touchdowns, including a 5-129-2 line Week 13 in Seattle.
