Rome Odunze WR | CHI
Bears' Rome Odunze: First multi-score game of career
Odunze caught four of five targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers.
Odunze cashed in a pair of garbage-time touchdowns in Sunday's blowout loss for the first multi-score game of his young career. When the rookie scored during the contest shouldn't matter to fantasy managers, who had witnessed just one trip to the end zone over the wideout's previous 12 contests. Odunze's inconsistency in Chicago's flailing offense keeps him from relevance in shallower formats ahead of next Monday's tilt against Minnesota.

Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Season-high 162 yards
Nacua recorded 12 receptions on 14 targets for 162 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-42 win over the Bills. He added five rushes for 16 yards and an additional score.
Nacua accounted for 14 targets on 30 passes, and he showed strong rapport with Matthew Stafford throughout the high-scoring win. His longest reception of the day went for 21 yards, though he also had a pair of 19-yard grabs -- one of which went for a score to clinch the win and the other on an impressive leaping toe-tapping catch along the sideline. Nacua was also used as a runner and racked up a season-high five attempts, highlighted by a four-yard score. In seven games since returning from injured reserve, he's topped 100 receiving yards on four occasions.

Michael Wilson WR | ARI
Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Quiet after early 41-yard TD
Wilson caught two of three targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks.
Wilson capped Arizona's opening drive with a 41-yard touchdown catch but added only one reception the rest of the way. He has been a touchdown-dependent fantasy option all season, having reached 60 receiving yards only twice. Wilson has consistently flirted with that threshold in recent weeks, as he has at least 54 receiving yards in three consecutive games heading into a Week 15 home matchup versus the Patriots.

Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | ARI
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Held to four catches in Week 14
Harrison caught four of eight targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks.
Harrison has reached 50 receiving yards only five times in his up-and-down rookie season. His eight targets against Seattle ranked second behind Trey McBride's 14, and Harrison's 20 targets over the last two games are the most he has seen in a two-game span. While there's reason for long-term optimism with the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, including Harrison's team-leading total of seven receiving touchdowns, he can't be viewed as a surefire fantasy starter in most formats when the Cardinals host the Patriots in Week 15.

Jalen McMillan WR | TB
Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Two touchdowns in Week 14 win
McMillan brought in four of seven targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
McMillan hadn't found the end zone since recording a 32-yard touchdown on his first career catch back in Week 1 against the Commanders, but he made up for some lost time Sunday with 15- and 29-yard scoring grabs in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. The speedy wideout's catch total also tied his career high, while his yardage tally was a new high-water mark for the rookie third-round pick. McMillan's surge was a welcome sight considering how little production the Buccaneers have gotten from the No. 2 receiver position since Chris Godwin was lost for the season with an ankle dislocation, and he'll look to put together a successful encore in a Week 15 road matchup against the Chargers.

Demarcus Robinson WR | SF
Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Re-enters Sunday's game
Robinson (shoulder) returned to Sunday's 44-42 win against the Bills.
Robinson hurt his shoulder early in the third quarter but was on the field for Matthew Stafford's 17-yard TD connection with Cooper Kupp with 22 seconds remaining in that quarter. While Robinson didn't record a catch on his only official target, Stafford looked his way multiple times, only for pass interference to wipe away two different plays. One of them was a 56-yarder that didn't count due to offsetting pass interference calls, after which he exited the game for most of the third. Robinson will look to be more involved Thursday at San Francisco.

DeVonta Smith WR | PHI
Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Hauls in TD in return
Smith caught four of six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers.
While his yardage was modest in his return from a two-game absence due to a hamstring strain, Smith connected with Jalen Hurts for a four-yard score just before halftime. It's Smith's first TD since Week 9, and he also hasn't reached 40 receiving yards in any of his three appearances during that stretch. He'll try to build on Sunday's effort in Week 15 against the Steelers.
-
A.J. Brown WR | PHI
Eagles' A.J. Brown: Quiet against Carolina
Brown caught all four of his targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers.
The fifth-year wideout tied for his lowest target volume of the season, but Brown still led the Eagles in receiving yards on a day in which Jalen Hurts threw for just 108 yards. With Saquon Barkley clearly the focal point of the Philly offense, it's become harder for Brown to make a big impact, and he's scored only one TD over the last seven games while posting a 32-512-1 line on 42 targets. He'll try to turn things around in Week 15 against the Steelers.

Ray-Ray McCloud WR | NYG
Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Just shy of century mark Sunday
McCloud secured eight of 11 targets for 98 yards, rushed once for three yards, returned a kickoff for 31 yards and lost a fumble in the Falcons' 42-21 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
McCloud finished with team-high reception and target totals while checking in second to Darnell Mooney in receiving yards. All three components were season highs for McCloud, who's become a legitimate No. 3 receiver in coordinator Zac Robinson's offense. McCloud's fumble came on an early fourth-quarter kickoff return and did lead to a Vikings touchdown, but he carries an impressive 18-239-0 receiving line over the last three games heading into a Week 15 road matchup against the Raiders on Monday night, Dec. 16.

Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Stays hot against Steelers
Jeudy recorded five receptions on six targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers.
Jeudy couldn't match his Week 13 explosion, but he remained productive with Jameis Winston under center. He began his performance with a long 35-yard touchdown catch after splitting the defense down the seam. While the Browns' offense was stalled for much of the contest thereafter, Jeudy did manage to remain a reliable target. Jeudy has now topped 70 receiving yards and/or found the end zone in each of Winston's six starts.
