  • Ryan Miller WR | NYG

    Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: One catch in Week 15 win

    Miller brought in his only target for one yard in the Buccaneers' 40-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

    Miller logged 15 snaps (21 percent), his most since Week 12, and recorded his first catch since that game as well. However, with Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard healthy and firmly entrenched as the top three options at wide receiver and the Trey Palmer-Rakim Jarrett duo seemingly ahead of him as well most weeks, Miller has no fantasy value for the foreseeable future.

  • Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Makes lone grab count in Week 15

    Smith-Schuster reeled in one of his three targets for seven yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 21-7 win versus the Browns.

    Smith-Schuster's 51 percent snap share sits around the same range it has been over the past four contests. His three targets did mark his highest total since returning from a hamstring injury in Week 11, but that's hardly enough volume to warrant fantasy consideration in the majority of formats. On top of that, Hollywood Brown (shoulder) had his practice window opened ahead of his potential return from injured reserve. When that happens, Smith-Schuster will likely slide further down the depth chart behind Brown, Xavier Worthy and DeAndre Hopkins.

  • Marvin Mims WR | DEN

    Broncos' Marvin Mims: Four grabs in win

    Mims secured all four of his targets for 20 yards and rushed once for zero yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Colts.

    Mims played just 16 of the Broncos' 63 offensive snaps Sunday, the least of any Denver wideout in the contest. After trending upwards in production in recent weeks, the 22-year-old wasn't able to get much going with his four targets from quarterback Bo Nix. Mims does not receive enough consistent playing time and opportunities to be trusted for fantasy purposes as the season's conclusion draws near. The second-year receiver will look to bounce back in a Week 16 matchup against the Chargers.

  • Tyler Scott WR | LAR

    Bears' Tyler Scott: First catch of season in loss

    Scott caught a five-yard pass in the Bears' 30-12 loss to the Vikings on Monday.

    Scott caught 17 passes for 168 yards as a rookie in 2023, but this year, the receiver has not played more than six percent of the snaps in any game. Against Minnesota, Scott hauled in a pass from backup quarterback Tyson Bagent when the backups were on the field. Expect Scott to remain quiet unless any of the Chicago receivers miss time.

  • Troy Franklin WR | DEN

    Broncos' Troy Franklin: Two catches against Colts

    Franklin caught two of five targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Colts.

    Operating as Denver's No. 3 wide receiver, Franklin played 29 of the Broncos' 63 offensive snaps behind Courtland Sutton (57) and Devaughn Vele (38). Sunday's contest marked the fourth straight game in which the rookie wideout recorded two grabs. With that said, his limited involvement has not led to much statistical production for the Oregon product. Franklin should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Chargers.

  • Broncos' Devaughn Vele: Held catchless in Week 15

    Vele failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Colts.

    Vele was a complete nonfactor in the game despite playing 38 of the Broncos' 63 offensive snaps, second among wide receivers behind Courtland Sutton (57). Week 15 marked the first time in which the rookie wideout was held without a catch in a contest this season. After a stretch of solid performances in the middle of the season, Vele has cooled down as of late, securing just one of five targets for 16 yards over the past two contests. The 27-year-old should continue to be extremely difficult to trust in the fantasy playoffs when the Broncos visit the Chargers in Week 16.

  • Vikings' Trent Sherfield: Records short catch in win

    Sherfield was on the field for 12 of the Vikings' 77 offensive snaps and recorded a six-yard catch on his lone target in Monday's 30-12 win over the Bears.

    The reception was Sherfield's first since Week 11, as the 28-year-old has been active for each of the Vikings' ensuing four games but has seen limited snaps on offense while primarily contributing on Minnesota's special-teams units. For the season, Sherfield has produced an 8-83-1 receiving line on nine targets over 14 games.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Records one catch in win

    Shepard brought in his only target for a 16-yard gain in the Buccaneers' 40-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

    Shepard played through the foot issue that had hampered him during the practice week, but he took a back seat to Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan during the high-scoring win. However, Shepard still logged a solid 32 snaps and remains firmly entrenched in the No. 3 receiver role heading into a Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Struggles in MNF loss

    Odunze finished with two receptions (on seven targets) for 39 yards in Monday's 30-12 loss to the Vikings.

    Odunze was unable to replicate his two-score game from a week prior, instead providing fantasy managers with just two receptions in Monday's lopsided defeat. The Bears' first-round rookies struggled to get on the same page after Caleb Williams connected with Odunze on just 29 percent of his throws against Minnesota. Odunze has potential to go off on a given week, but his floor is too low to rely on against the Lions on Sunday for managers making critical lineup decisions in the fantasy playoffs.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Hauls in 30-yard TD in win

    London secured all three targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 15-9 win over the Raiders on Monday night.

    London led the Falcons in receiving yards and scored the team's only touchdown on a 30-yard grab in the first quarter. The talented wideout's trip to the end zone was his first since Week 9, and he was able to eclipse 50 receiving yards for the fifth consecutive contest. London did see a big drop in targets after garnering 26 looks over the previous two games, but Kirk Cousins threw only 17 times overall on the night. London next takes aim at a Giants defense that just gave up five touchdown passes to Lamar Jackson when New York visits Atlanta in Week 16.
