  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Dealing with pain in foot

    Hill dealt with a painful foot/heel injury during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Ravens, Pete Grathoff of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Despite limping off the field in obvious pain multiple times, Hill caught eight passes for 139 yards on 14 targets, including a 48-yard gain to convert a fourth-and-9 on the game-tying drive. He did experience a decrease in snap share to 79 percent, landing below 91 percent for the first time since October. It's a safe bet Hill shows up on the Monday injury report, but his ability to play through the injury Sunday suggests he'll try to do the same Thursday against the Chargers.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Atrocious catch rate in defeat

    Godwin brought in just one of 10 targets for 13 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-14 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He also fumbled once, but it was recovered by the offense.

    Godwin's performance was a major letdown to those who'd counted on him as the fantasy playoffs kicked off, as the normally efficient receiver couldn't get on the same page with Jameis Winston throughout the day. Godwin's 10 percent catch rate was the poorest of his career in any game in which he's logged at least once reception, squandering what was a team-high target total in the continued absence of DeSean Jackson (thumb). Given that the second-year wideout has been a much more reliable asset than what he showed Sunday, he's likely to bounce back to some extent versus the Ravens in Week 15.

  • Patriots' Phillip Dorsett: Limited role in Week 14

    Dorsett logged seven of a possible 82 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-33 loss to the Dolphins.

    Dorsett was not targeted for the second straight game and will remain off the fantasy radar unless injuries hit the Patriots' receiving corps.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Rams' Josh Reynolds: Inefficient with seven targets

    Reynolds reeled in three of his seven targets for 36 yards Sunday in the Rams' 15-6 loss to the Bears.

    Reynolds' meager yardage total actually ranked second among all Rams players, illustrating the difficulty quarterback Jared Goff had with moving the chains against the stout Chicago defense. The second-year receiver has seen his role expand since Cooper Kupp (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 10, but Reynolds has yet to establish himself as a viable option in fantasy lineups outside of deeper formats. In the Rams' three games sans Kupp, Reynolds has nabbed only 11 of 20 targets for 135 yards and a touchdown.

  • Giants' Odell Beckham: Feeling better

    Coach Pat Shurmur said Beckham (quad) is feeling better Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    The superstar wide receiver was unexpectedly ruled out Saturday for Sunday's eventual 40-16 win over Washington. He's reportedly been dealing with the thigh injury since Week 12, though he accounted for two scores (one passing) while handling a 93 percent snap share in a Week 13 win over the Bears. The first real hint about Beckham's Week 15 status may not come until Wednesday when the Giants release their initial injury report for Sunday's game against the Titans. It is a good sign that he's feeling better after resting over the weekend.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Fails to take advantage

    Sutton caught two of six targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 20-14 loss to the 49ers.

    Expected to take on more work with Emmanuel Sanders (Achilles) done for the season, Sutton instead was outplayed by fellow wideouts Tim Patrick (7-85-0 on 10 targets) and DaeSean Hamilton (7-47-1 on nine targets). The rookie second-round pick did miss part of the game with a minor thigh injury, but he returned to the contest and ultimately logged 51 of 74 snaps (69 percent) on offense. Sutton should have another chance to take advantage of his increased role during a Saturday game against the Browns in Week 15.

  • Packers' Equanimeous St. Brown: Third in team receiver snaps

    St. Brown caught two passes for 12 yards in Sunday's victory over the Falcons.

    St. Brown played more snaps than fellow rookie wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling for the first time this season, but he still finished fourth on the team in targets -- third among receivers -- and failed to reach the 20-yard mark for the fifth time in six games. He figures to continue playing an ancillary role as long as the Packers remain in playoff contention.

  • Tre'Quan Smith WR | DET

    Saints' Tre'Quan Smith: Disappearing act continues

    Smith failed to bring in his only target in Sunday's win against the Buccaneers.

    Despite playing 41 of the Saints' 64 offensive snaps, Smith was held without a catch for the second consecutive week. Perhaps the toe injury that kept him out of the Saints' Week 12 tilt is still bothering him, but over the last couple weeks, Smith has not looked like the player who exploded for 10 catches and 157 yards in Week 11. He will be a very risky option against the Panthers next week.

  • Ravens' Michael Crabtree: Held in check again

    Crabtree caught three of four targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs.

    Crabtree moved the chains a few times with nice catches along the sideline, but he also had an offensive pass interference penalty that stalled a drive in the fourth quarter. He's largely been limited to run blocking since Lamar Jackson (ankle) took over at quarterback, averaging 2.5 catches for 23.8 yards the past four weeks. A friendly Week 15 matchup probably won't make much difference unless Joe Flacco (hip) ends up getting the start.

  • Packers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Playing time decreases

    Valdes-Scantling caught two passes for 19 yards in Sunday's victory over the Falcons.

    It was another quiet day on the scoresheet for Valdes-Scantling, who has totaled just 93 receiving yards over five games since topping the century mark in Week 9. Not helping his case was a notable drop in playing time, as he was on the field for just 46 percent of the Packers' plays, by far his lowest mark since Week 3. Valdes-Scantling had fantasy utility for a while earlier this season, but his value has steadily declined, and those still setting lineups in Week 15 have little reason not to look in a different direction, particularly with the Packers facing the stingy Bears defense.
