Carter caught all six of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Browns.

Carter played a season-high 44 snaps and was the second-most targeted receiver behind only DeAndre Hopkins, who had 12 targets. Carter has steadily seen his role grow since joining the Texans during a Week 10 bye. He first served as a returner only in Week 11, then popped up as target on offense last week before his six-catch effort against the Browns. It should be noted that Keke Coutee (hamstring) sat out the game, granting opportunities for Carter. Sill, head coach Bill O'Brien has been pleased with Carter and could continue to keep him involved when Coutee eventually returns.

Bellamy caught one pass for eight yards in Chicago's 30-27 overtime loss to the Giants on Sunday.

Bellamy continued to function as the clear No. 4 in the Bears' offense, and he's caught multiple passes on just two occasions this season. Unless his role expands, he's unlikely to be much help for fantasy managers.

Allen corralled 14 of 19 targets for 148 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Steelers. He also scored on a two-point conversion.

Allen teamed up with Philip Rivers for an amazing aerial display over the last quarter and a half of the comeback win. The 26-year-old did benefit from a lucky situation on his lone touchdown grab when a ball that should have been picked off ended up popping into his hands when a pair of Steeler defenders collided with each other in the end zone. Allen set new season highs in catches, targets and yards in one fell swoop and will look to carry that momentum into Week 14's matchup with the Bengals, who currently surrender 292.2 passing yards per game (second-worst in the NFL).

Smith-Schuster caught six of nine targets for 49 yards during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Chargers.

This was a disappointing effort for Smith-Schuster, who managed just 8.2 yards per catch -- well below the 13.7 YPC he brought in to the game. It also snapped his streak of four straight games with at least 70 yards or a touchdown. He'll look to return to form against Oakland -- which allows the second-most points per game (30.6) in the league -- in Week 14.

Ateman caught two of four targets, accounting for 16 receiving yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 40-33 loss to Kansas City.

Ateman is likely to remain more of an uplifting story than a fantasy revelation, rising from seventh-round draft choice in April's NFL Draft to a modest contributor on Oakland's active roster. The rookie wideout appears to be here to stay, with nine receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown in three weeks as a member of the 53-man squad, most recently garnering four of 22 wide receiver targets in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Week 14 brings a matchup against a Pittsburgh defense that's been proficient in defending the pass this year, ranking top 10 with 223.3 yards allowed per game.

Anderson caught four of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 26-22 loss to Tennessee.

Although his final line looked like nothing special, Anderson tied his season high in catches and saw his second-best receiving output on the year. The 25-year-old has been limited by injuries and an ineffective offense this season after coming just 59 yards shy of the 1,000-yard mark in 2017. Things don't get any easier with Buffalo's top-rated defense against receivers on tap in Week 14.

Conley caught three of seven targets, amounting 25 receiving yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 40-33 win against the Raiders.

The fourth-year man out of Georgia has undergone a resurgence of late, collecting 10 receptions on 15 targets with three touchdowns over Kansas City's past two outings. (He never had more than nine combined catches or two touchdowns in consecutive outings prior.) Conley is probable to be the benefactor of a healthy target share against the No. 2 Ravens pass defense in Week 14, so long as Sammy Watkins (foot) is once again unable to suit up -- a foreseeable development given that he was unable to practice in any capacity for the Chiefs last week, resulting in him being deemed inactive well in advance of Sunday's tilt with the Raiders.

Smith failed to bring in his only target during Thursday's 16-10 loss to Dallas.

The Saints offense was largely silenced by a strong Cowboys defense, though Smith could've helped get things going had he not dropped what looked like an easy touchdown. After averaging 5.2 targets over his previous five healthy games, Smith should be in store for a larger workload during a juicy Week 14 matchup against a Buccaneers defense allowing the second-most yards per pass attempt (8.7) in 2018.

Bourne caught four of six targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 43-16 loss to the Seahawks.

Getting his second start in a row, Bourne made good on the opportunity this week, hauling in at least four catches for just the fourth time this season and registering his second-highest yardage total of the year. Should the Eastern Washington product draw another start, however, fantasy players shouldn't count on him. Nick Mullens will be hard-pressed to throw for 400 yards again, and Bourne is still low in the pecking order when it comes to targets. If Pierre Garcon (knee) or Marquise Goodwin (personal) returns for Week 14's home matchup with Denver, the 23-year-old would likely be relegated to fill-in duties.

Davis caught three of seven passes for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-22 win over the Jets. He also rushed the ball once for 12 yards.

Davis suffered through an inefficient performance for most of the game but salvaged his stat line on the Titans' game-winning drive by hauling in a 12-yard score. On the bright side, his targets rebounded to seven, after he posted only four in each of his two previous games. The team continues to spread targets to numerous receivers and backs, thinning out Davis' upside. As a result, he has topped 60 yards just twice in his past five games, though he has also tallied three scores in that span. That leaves him as an inconsistent option, with his fantasy success largely being determined by his ability to find the end zone.
