Robinson caught five of nine targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Patriots.

Robinson played 43 of 61 snaps (70 percent) on offense, while Laquon Treadwell was limited to two targets on 22 snaps. Treadwell's consistent failure to contribute in the passing game seems to have opened up an opportunity for Robinson to work as the No. 3 receiver when the Vikings need to throw the ball in a comeback effort. The team does still appear to place some value on Treadwell's work as a blocker.

Cobb caught three of five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cardinals, playing 61 of 76 snaps (80 percent) on offense.

Cobb didn't have any workload limitations in his first appearance since Week 9, but he also didn't do much to help the Packers avoid an embarrassing loss. The team may want to consider giving Equanimeous St. Brown or Jake Kumerow some of Cobb's usual snaps over the final four weeks of the season, as a playoff appearance is now out of the question. Cobb is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

Valdes-Scantling caught two passes for 19 yards and had two carries for 29 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

The rushing yardage boosted Valdes-Scantling's overall production, but he still finished with fewer than 20 receiving yards for the third straight week. Changes could be coming in the Packers' offense in the wake of the firing of head coach Mike McCarthy, but Valdes-Scantling's recent output, coupled with the return of fellow receiver Randall Cobb, makes him tough to trust in Week 14.

James was unable to haul in either of his two targets in Sunday's 43-16 loss to Seattle.

James finished third among San Francisco wideouts with two targets for the second consecutive week, but he was unable to connect with Nick Mullens in this one after tallying 27 yards last week. The speedy wideout was able to rip off 109 yards on four kick returns, but he also lost a fumble in that role. The 49ers are struggling mightily, so James won't create much fantasy buzz even if Marquise Goodwin (personal) and Pierre Garcon (knee) remain sidelined for Week 14's matchup with the Broncos.

Taylor brought in his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 43-16 loss to Seattle.

Marquise Goodwin (personal) and Pierre Garcon (knee) remained sidelined, but Taylor still finished fourth in targets to wide receivers for the second consecutive week. It has become apparent that the 24-year-old has fallen out of favor in San Francisco, mitigating his fantasy value heading into a Week 14 matchup with the Broncos.

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.
