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.

Patrick brought in seven of 10 targets for 85 yards in the Broncos' 20-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also rushed once for 11 yards and fumbled once, although it was recovered by the offense.

Patrick co-led the Broncos in receptions while pacing the team in receiving yardage and targets, stepping to the forefront in the wake of Emmanuel Sanders' season-ending Achilles injury. The rookie brings excellent size at 6-4, 212 pounds, and he displayed a strong rapport with Case Keenum in the low-scoring loss. Patrick should be able to improve the more game reps he sees, potential he'll look to deliver on against the Browns in a Week 15 Saturday night matchup.

Anderson (ankle) caught four of seven targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Bills.

Despite battling a tough Buffalo secondary, Anderson took over in the fourth quarter. His 7-yard touchdown with 12:06 remaining tied the game at 20-20, then Anderson caught a crucial 37-yard pass down the sideline with under two minutes remaining. Anderson couldn't get both feet down on an end-zone target later in the drive, but his big catch helped set up Elijah McGuire's 1-yard score, which turned a 23-20 deficit into a 27-23 lead. The speedy wideout's getting healthy just in time to help out owners down the stretch. In Week 15, he draws a Houston team that just allowed Colts speedster T.Y. Hilton to rack up 199 receiving yards.

Robinson corralled five of his seven targets, gathering 42 receiving yards during Sunday's 27-24 win against Baltimore.

With Sammy Watkins (foot) potentially done for the remainder of the regular season after aggravating an injury during Thursday's practice, Robinson, not Chris Conley, became the de facto No. 2 option among the Chiefs wide receivers. Robinson's emergence seemingly came out of thin air, as he had no more than three passes thrown his way in a game all season prior to Sunday, while Conley had commanded a sturdy 15 targets over Kansas City's past two outings. It wasn't a flashy performance by any means for the third-year man -- with four of his five catches going for fewer than 10 yards -- but he still produced his largest receiving output since Oct. 19 of last season. Week 15 brings a matchup against a stout Chargers defense that's held opposing wideouts to 20.9 points per game in standard scoring formats, good for the league's eighth-lowest rate.

Pascal caught five of six targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 win over Houston.

Pascal was wide-open in the back corner of the end zone and hauled in what would prove to be the game winner late in the third quarter. He caught at least five passes for just the third time this season. The 23-year-old will try to keep the momentum going at home Week 15 against the Cowboys.

McKenzie rushed four times for 22 yards and a touchdown while catching four of seven targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Jets.

McKenzie got some looks as a rusher and made the most of those opportunities after both LeSean McCoy (hamstring) and Chris Ivory (shoulder) were forced out by injuries. His longest run was a 15-yarder, which also culminated in a touchdown late in the first quarter. Should both McCoy and Ivory sit out against the Lions in Week 15, McKenzie would likely steal a few carries from Marcus Murphy.

Jones caught three of nine targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Jets.

Jones struggled with drops throughout the afternoon, producing an underwhelming stat line despite leading the Bills in targets. He's alternated rises and drops in receiving yards in every single game this season, and Jones is likely to keep that pattern going by exceeding 22 yards against the Lions in Week 15.

Foster caught seven of eight targets for 104 yards in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Jets.

Foster accounted for more than half of quarterback Josh Allen's 206 passing yards. Something about facing this opponent brings out the best in the rookie, as he's topped 100 yards in both meetings with the Jets while totaling 151 yards against all other competition. While Foster's probably the most fantasy relevant receiver on the Bills, Allen's struggles as a passer will make it tough to trust any member of Buffalo's offense against the Lions in Week 15.

Hill caught eight of 14 targets for 139 receiving yards, adding one rush for six yards during Sunday's 27-24 win against Baltimore. He left the game on more than one occasion with an injury issue but returned each time.

Another Sunday, another electrifying performance for the 5-foot-10 Hill, as he averaged an absurd 17.4 yards per catch against the Ravens, with five of his eight receptions yielding at least 15 yards. Hill has been an especially high-floor option of late, with at least seven receptions and 115 receiving yards in three of his past four appearances (he had just two such performances through his first nine games of the year). Week 15 brings a matchup against the Chargers and one of the most talented secondaries in the NFL. Los Angeles entered the weekend with 1,766 receiving yards and 138 catches allowed to opposing wideouts this season, ranking among the league's 10 best units in each of those categories. We'll see if the electric Hill ends up on the injury report this week even though he muddled though the contest.

Crowder caught two of seven targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-16 loss to the Giants.

Crowder was on his way to a dud until he took a Josh Johnson pass all the way for a 79-yard touchdown thanks in large part to some sloppy Giants defense. Johnson looked good after entering the game with Washington trailing 40-0, and he's already been named the starter for Week 15 in Jacksonville, which is probably good news for Crowder given how poorly Mark Sanchez played in helping to dig Washington's 40-0 hole.
