  • 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.

  • 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 | NE

    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.

  • 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.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Five catches in Week 14 loss

    London brought in five of 10 targets for 70 yards in the Falcons' 42-21 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    London had a solid but relatively unspectacular afternoon despite Kirk Cousins' 344-yard tally, finishing third in receiving yards behind Darnell Mooney and the surging Ray-Ray McCloud. The third-year wideout did finish second in targets, and he's now reached at least 70 receiving yards in three of the past four games while notching double-digit targets in each of those contests. London next takes aim at a vulnerable Raiders defense in a Week 15 road matchup on Monday night, Dec. 16.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Struggles with drops in Week 14

    Legette caught two of eight targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.

    The rookie wideout had trouble hanging onto the ball all day, but Legette's biggest drop came in the fourth quarter when he couldn't haul in what might have been a game-winning 32-yard touchdown in the final minute. Legette has still caught multiple passes in eight straight games, posting a 26-281-3 line on 46 targets over that stretch. He'll try to put his volume to better use in Week 15 against the Cowboys.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Panthers' Adam Thielen: Tops century mark Sunday

    Thielen caught nine of 11 targets for 102 yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.

    It's the first time this season that Thielen has topped 100 yards, with his last such performance coming in Week 6 of the 2023 campaign. The veteran wideout has posted a 20-258-1 line on 25 targets over three games since returning from a hamstring injury, giving him significant momentum heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Cowboys.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Inactive Sunday night

    McConkey (knee/shoulder) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.

    After being limited at practice Wednesday through Friday, McConkey was listed as questionable for the Chargers' Sunday evening tilt. With McConkey having been made inactive, Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer, Jalen Reagor, Derius Davis and DJ Chark are in line to handle the team's Week 14 wideout duties. McConkey's next chance to see game action will arrive Dec. 15 versus the Buccaneers.
