Woods brought in seven of his 13 targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 15-6 loss to the Bears.

Woods was the only Rams offensive player to post a usable fantasy stat line in what was an otherwise forgettable game. The veteran dominated the target share with 13, while no other Rams receiver saw more than seven. Woods has directly benefited from the loss of Cooper Kupp (knee), averaging 10.6 targets in the three games since his teammate was shut down. Brandin Cooks offers the highest upside, but Woods provides a higher floor and better PPR value heading into Week 15's tasty matchup against the Eagles' sorry secondary.

Robinson caught five passes (eight targets) for 42 yards in Sunday's 15-6 victory over the Rams.

Robinson led the Bears in catches, targets and receiving yards, which is more of an indicator of how ineffective Mitchell Trubisky was in his return to action rather than a sign of a big game from the wideout. The 25-year-old has shown flashes of that dynamic receiver we saw early in his time with the Jaguars, but his performance has mainly been capped on a team that relies heavily on two running backs and a stout defense. Robinson is still usually around the top of the target list for the Bears on a weekly basis, so he maintains flex value heading into Sunday's matchup with the Packers.

Allen snagged five of his nine targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in the 26-21 victory over the Bengals on Sunday.

Allen's touchdown kicked off the scoring Sunday, breaking free for a nifty red-zone reception. Concerns regarding Allen's prowess near the goal line appear to be fading by the week as the 26-year-old has caught a touchdown in each of the last five games. Easily the Chargers' No. 1 wide receiver, Allen should be poised for another solid matchup against the Chiefs, whom he torched for eight catches, 108 yards and a touchdown back in Week 1.

Ridley caught one of four targets, managing 10 receiving yards during Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Packers.

Ridley has been shut down over each of the past two weeks against top-seven pass defenses in Green Bay and Baltimore, compiling a combined 32 receiving yards on four catches in those contests. He had averaged 57.8 receiving yards per contest between Weeks 1 and 12. Following an extremely promising eight-game run to begin his NFL career (4.1 catches and 57.9 yards per game, with seven touchdowns through Week 9), Ridley has exceeded three receptions or 40 receiving yards in a game only once over his past five outings, recording one touchdown over that span. In Week 15, Atlanta hosts one of the league's best pass defenses in Arizona, which has allowed 210.8 yards per game through the air.

Jones was targeted once but did not record a reception during Sunday's 17-3 victory over the Cardinals.

Detroit has a dire need for playmakers to step up on offense, and yet Jones remains an afterthought in the game plan. He isn't worth a bench spot in the vast majority of fantasy leagues, let alone starting rosters.

Cooper reeled in 10 of 13 targets for 217 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 29-23 overtime win over Philadelphia.

Cooper absolutely shredded the Eagles' secondary in the fourth quarter, burning his defensive assignment twice for two long touchdowns. It felt like the wideout was destined to have a huge game after a deflected ball -- that probably should have been intercepted -- fell into his bread basket in overtime, resulting in his third long touchdown of the night, sealing the crucial win for the Cowboys in the process. This was Cooper's second monster performance over the last three games, and outside of a dud versus the Falcons in Week 11, the wideout has been WR1 material since coming to Dallas. Dak Prescott is clearly looking to get the ball into Cooper's hands when dropping back for a pass, so the volume should still be there even if Sunday's matchup against the Colts doesn't turn into a shootout.

Boyd caught three of six targets for a team-high 52 receiving yards during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Chargers.

With A.J. Green (foot) battling midseason injuries and subsequently being placed on injured reserve, the common thought had Boyd accelerating from a mid-tier fantasy WR2 into a contender for low-end WR1 consideration. That hypothesis has been disproven to this point, as Boyd has averaged 68.3 receiving yards per game with Green inactive this season, compared to 79.7 yards per game when he is in the lineup (also averaging one fewer target per game when Green is out). Week 15 presents a reasonable opportunity for Boyd to get into the end zone for the seventh time this season, facing a Raiders defense that's allowed an NFL-high 31 passing touchdowns.

Smith-Schuster brought in eight of 12 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns in the Steelers' 24-21 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Smith-Schuster was able to vault over the 100-yard mark on the Steelers' last play from scrimmage, as he scampered 43 yards off a James Washington lateral with 14 seconds remaining. Although Pittsburgh ultimately suffered a heartbreaking loss when Chris Boswell lost his footing on a 40-yard field-goal attempt as time expired, Smith-Schuster brought joy to fantasy owners with his third 100-yard effort over the last four games. With at least nine targets in five of the last six contests, Smith-Schuster's prospects are exceedingly bright heading into a Week 15 showdown against the Patriots.

Matthews hauled in his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Bills.

Matthews has yet to record double-digit yards in a game this season.

Pettis brought in three of seven targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers' 20-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Pettis remained in the starting lineup despite the return of Marquise Goodwin (personal), and he rewarded fantasy owners with his fourth touchdown over the last three games. The 23-year-old has seen seven targets in each of those contests, and he's consistently displayed a strong rapport with rookie signal caller Nick Mullens. Pettis figures to remain with the first unit against the Seahawks in Week 15.
