Tyler Boyd WR | TEN
Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Continues hot streak sans Dalton
Boyd caught six of eight targets for 97 yards during Sunday's 24-10 loss to Denver.
Boyd came into Sunday having been targeted at least eight times in three of his last four games, picking up at least 65 yards in each. He extended that on Sunday despite working with first-time starter Jeff Driskel. Driskel and Boyd connected on three passes of at least 20 yards, perhaps none prettier than a leaping 23-yard grab over the middle on third and eight early in the third quarter. Their rapport will be worth keeping an eye on moving forward as A.J. Green (foot) was carted off the field during the first half. Should Green miss time, Boyd will be counted on next week against a top-10 Chargers pass defense, surrendering a modest 245 passing yards per game.

Adam Humphries WR | HOU
Buccaneers' Adam Humphries: Scores fifth touchdown
Humphries caught seven of nine targets for 61 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Panthers.
Humphries led the team in targets and catches as he went over 50 receiving yards for the sixth straight game. He also scored a 3-yard touchdown to open the scoring, giving him scores in three straight games to take his total to five on the season. Humphries enjoyed a larger target share with DeSean Jackson (thumb) out, though he's been quite consistent of late whether or not his teammate has been in the lineup. He'll look to continue his recent success next Sunday in what could be a high-scoring game against the Saints.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Packers' Davante Adams: Putting together finest season
Adams caught eight of 13 targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cardinals.
Adams scored his 11th touchdown of the season from 13 yards out in the second quarter. Not only does the 25-year-old wide receiver have double-digit scores in each of the past three campaigns, but Adams also has career highs in catches (85) and yards (1,155) already this season. Owners who have ridden him to fantasy playoff contention are primed to benefit from Adams' favorable Week 14 matchup against the porous Falcons defense.

DeVante Parker WR | PHI
Dolphins' DeVante Parker: Spearheads receiving corps in win
Parker brought in four of seven targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Bills on Sunday.
Parker got Miami on the board with an 18-yard touchdown reception to cap off a 10-play, 75-yard first-quarter drive. The oft-injured receiver had been dealing with a shoulder issue coming into the contest, but he appeared unencumbered while co-leading the team in receptions and receiving yards. Given the relatively low-upside nature of the Dolphins air attack, Parker remains a risky fantasy proposition against the Patriots in Week 14.

Curtis Samuel WR | BUF
Panthers' Curtis Samuel: Sets career high in receiving yards
Samuel caught six of 11 targets for 88 yards and carried one time for an additional eight yards during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Buccaneers.
Samuel led the team in targets and catches while notching a new career high in receiving yards. He recorded a long gain of 31 yards and made several catches around the line of scrimmage that could have turned into bigger gains. Samuel shined as the team lost Greg Olsen (foot) and eased Devin Funchess (back) back into the lineup, and he now has a touchdown or 96 scrimmage yards in four of his last five games. He'll hope to continue his recent success in Week 14 against the Browns.
-
DeAndre Hopkins WR | BAL
Texans' DeAndre Hopkins: Don't sweat two-game TD drought
Hopkins caught seven of 12 targets for 91 yards in Sunday's 29-13 dismantling of the Browns.
Hopkins has been held out of the end zone in back-to-back games for the first time this season, but we wouldn't push the panic button just yet. He still has eight touchdowns through 12 games and is on pace for 107 catches and 1,487 yards. None of Hopkins' teammates finished with more than 32 receiving yards in this one, so he remains the clear-cut alpha dog in Houston's passing attack ahead of a Week 14 matchup with the Colts. Hopkins had his best game of the season (10 catches for 169 yards and a touchdown) against Indianapolis back in Week 4.
-
Ty Montgomery WR | NE
Ravens' Ty Montgomery: Sees team-high seven targets
Montgomery caught five of seven targets for 42 yards and added 13 yards on three carries during Sunday's 26-16 win over the Falcons.
Montgomery garnered fewer touches than he did during Week 12's win over Oakland, but his seven targets on Sunday -- three more than any other Raven -- warrant keeping an eye on. As Baltimore figures to continue to roll with the hot hand in rookie Lamar Jackson, a steady underneath target like Montgomery can provide the inexperienced passer with a valuable security blanket. Look for Montgomery to be leaned on for some easy completions in Week 14 against a Chiefs team that often forces opponents to play from behind.
-
DJ Moore WR | BUF
Panthers' D.J. Moore: Limited to 44 receiving yards
Moore caught four of eight targets for 44 yards and carried two times for an additional 21 yards during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Buccaneers.
Moore enjoyed a healthy share of the targets, but he failed to connect with Cam Newton on several occasions. His long gain went for just 16 yards, though he was able to bolster his total output with his contributions as a rusher. Moore came in with 248 receiving yards over his previous two contests, so this lackluster effort against a beatable Tampa secondary comes as a bit of a surprise. He'll look to get back on track in Week 14 against the Browns.
-
Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Tops 100 receiving yards
Godwin caught five of six targets for 101 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Panthers.
Godwin tied for second on the team in targets while leading the way in receiving yardage. He displayed his big-play ability with a long gain of 48 yards and added a 13-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. Godwin enjoyed a larger share of the targets with DeSean Jackson (thumb) sidelined, and he could maintain an elevated role in Week 14 against the Saints if his teammate remains out.
-
Michael Crabtree WR | ARI
Ravens' Michael Crabtree: Gathers 36 yards in win
Crabtree caught three of four targets for 36 yards during Sunday's 26-16 win over the Falcons.
Yes, 36 yards isn't much, but it's actually Crabtree's highest total since Week 7. The veteran target has struggled as of late, no matter whether it's Joe Flacco (hip) or Lamar Jackson at quarterback. Early during Sunday's game, Crabtree enjoyed some of the benefits of playing with a passer of Jackson's unique skillset as the rookie scrambled out of trouble and hit Crabtree over the middle for an 18-yard catch-and-run. It's hard to pay much attention to any of Baltimore's targets in what has become such a run-heavy attack, but Crabtree does have a favorable matchup in Week 14 against the Chiefs, a defense that has given up a league-high 297 passing yards per game with opponents often turning to a pass-heavy approach while playing from behind.
