Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Stellar showing in loss
Jeudy brought in 11 of 14 targets for 108 yards in the Browns' 21-7 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Jeudy comfortably led the Browns in receptions, receiving yards and targets on an afternoon when Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson combined for just 154 passing yards and threw four interceptions between them. The 2020 first-round pick of the Broncos is putting the finishing touches on a career year despite his team's struggles, now boasting a 70-1,052-4 line across 14 games. Both the reception and receiving yardage totals are new high-water marks for the talented wideout, but he could see a downturn in production over the final three games if head coach Kevin Stefanski opts to turn to the erratic Thompson-Robinson at quarterback the rest of the way following Winston's benching Sunday.

Brian Thomas Jr. WR | JAC
Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Racks up 105 yards, two TDs in loss
Thomas caught 10 of 14 targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets.
Thomas has proven capable of overcoming mediocre quarterback play as a rookie, accounting for both of Mac Jones' touchdown passes in this latest Jacksonville loss. The 23rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft capped the opening drive with a three-yard touchdown catch and added a go-ahead 19-yard touchdown reception with 10:58 remaining in the fourth. Thomas topped 100 receiving yards for just the second time while posting the first multi-touchdown performance of his young career. He'll take a streak of four consecutive games with at least 76 receiving yards into a Week 16 trip to Vegas.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Limited to two receptions Sunday
Hill brought in two of seven targets for 36 yards in the Dolphins' 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Hill was unable to take advantage of the fact Jaylen Waddle exited the game with a knee injury in the first half and didn't return, finishing with his lowest catch and yardage totals since Week 7 and 10, respectively. Hill's target total was also his sparsest since the latter contest, and he saw a two-game touchdown streak come to an end. The veteran speedster also was the intended target down the right sideline on Tua Tagovailoa's game-sealing interception, a fitting ending to a disappointing afternoon. Hill's first opportunity to bounce back comes in a Week 16 home matchup against the 49ers.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Big game against Panthers
Lamb recorded nine receptions on 13 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Panthers.
Lamb was peppered with targets throughout the game, as he accounted for 116 of Cooper Rush's 214 passing yards. He delivered long gains of 28 and 20 yards, while also finding the end zone from 14 yards away to tally the Cowboys' first touchdown of the game. Most importantly, Lamb looked to be healthier after being slowed by a shoulder injury for the last several weeks.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Pair of TDs in win
Collins secured four of six targets for 17 yards and two touchdowns in the Texans' 20-12 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Collins' receiving yardage total was easily his lowest of the season, but the ultra-talented receiver salvaged his fantasy day with a pair of six-yard touchdown catches. He has at least four receptions in four consecutive games, but if there's any quibble with his body of work, it's the fact he has just one 100-yard performance in his last five games, which occurred Week 13 against the lowly Jaguars. Collins will look to boost his non-TD production back up in a Week 16 Saturday afternoon clash on the road with the Chiefs.

Dyami Brown WR | WAS
Commanders' Dyami Brown: Nabs three balls Sunday
Brown had three receptions on four targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Saints.
Brown continued to serve as the Commanders' No. 2 wideout with Noah Brown (kidney) being placed on injured reserve. The 24-year-old Brown has generated seven receptions for 65 yards in six quarters of action since taking over for his injured namesake. Brown could generate deep-league appeal with his current role in next Sunday's tilt against the Eagles.

Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN
Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Nine catches in Week 15 win
Chase caught nine of 11 targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Titans.
Chase didn't account for any of Joe Burrow's three first-half touchdown passes, but the star wideout posted a team-high 79 receiving yards heading into the locker room. The Bengals nursed a comfortable lead throughout the second half and didn't turn to the air much, though Chase still finished with team-leading totals in targets, catches and receiving yards. Chase will look to add to his impressive season totals of 102 catches for 1,413 yards and 15 touchdowns in Week 16 against the Browns.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Scary good output Sunday
McLaurin finished with seven receptions (on 10 targets) for 73 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Saints.
McLaurin teamed up with quarterback Jayden Daniels to score both of Washington's touchdowns on the day. It was Scary Terry's second consecutive game with multiple trips to the end zone, and his fourth overall this season (11 total touchdowns). The 28-year-old is just 31 yards shy of recording his fifth 1,000-yard campaign in his sixth season with the Commanders. McLaurin should accomplish the feat with ease in a pivotal matchup against the Eagles next Sunday.

Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ
Jets' Garrett Wilson: Plays second fiddle after early TD
Wilson caught three of six targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars.
Wilson had a 19-yard catch followed by a 22-yard touchdown reception on consecutive plays on the Jets' first drive. His next catch didn't come until less than 10 minutes remained in the fourth quarter, but Wilson set up a third-quarter field goal in between by drawing a 30-yard pass-interference penalty. Wilson took a back seat to Davante Adams, who had nine catches for 198 yards and two touchdowns, all in the second half. With Aaron Rodgers enjoying a resurgence down the stretch, at least statistically, Wilson and Adams have coexisted effectively, so both wide receivers will be high-end fantasy options in Week 16 against the Rams.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Jets' Davante Adams: Catches 100th TD in 198-yard game
Adams caught nine of 12 targets for 198 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars. He also caught a two-point conversion.
Adams was blanked on two first-half targets as Aaron Rodgers completed only three passes before halftime, but the veteran wideout secured a 12-yard reception on the first play of the second half and took over from there. Adams made a 43-yard catch on New York's second possession of the third quarter and added a one-yard touchdown catch three plays later after having a touchdown ruling reversed on a red-zone reception in between. That touchdown reception was the 100th of Adams' career and gave the Jets a 17-16 lead. Adams celebrated the occasion by adding an octopus in the fourth quarter, putting the Jets up 23-22 with a career-long 71-yard touchdown catch before extending the advantage to three points by catching the ensuing two-point conversion. To round out this memorable performance, Adams made a sensational 23-yard catch along the sideline followed by a 41-yard reception to set up Breece Hall's game-winning one-yard rushing touchdown with 1:05 remaining. After the best half of Adams' illustrious career, he'll look to put on an encore against the Rams in Week 16.
