Darnell Mooney WR | NYG
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Blows past century mark in loss
Mooney brought in six of seven targets for 142 yards in the Falcons' 42-21 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Mooney led the Falcons in receiving yards on the afternoon with a figure that also qualified as a career high. The speedster was a menace to the Vikings' defense throughout the contest, recording catches of 28, 24 and 49 yards in the first half alone. Mooney also had 18- and 14-yard grabs in the second half, and his prolific performance was a sorely needed one after the veteran wideout had posted just a 5-47 line over the previous two games. Mooney heads into a Week 15 road battle against the Raiders on Monday night, Dec. 16 just 117 receiving yards shy of his second career 1,000-yard campaign.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Burns Jets for 115 rec yards, TD
Hill caught 10 of 14 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for six yards in Sunday's 32-26 overtime win over the Jets.
Hill and Jaylen Waddle posted identical first-half stat lines of five catches for 61 yards, and they ultimately accounted for 214 of Tua Tagovailoa's 331 passing yards as the Dolphins capitalized on the absence of star Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner (hamstring). Hill's four-yard touchdown catch followed by a two-point conversion to Waddle helped Miami tie the game 23-23 with 9:04 to play in regulation. Despite playing through a wrist injury in recent weeks, Hill has been heating up. The speedster has scored in four of the past five games, and Hill has topped 80 receiving yards in each of his last two outings ahead of a Week 15 road game against the Texans after reaching that mark only twice through Week 12.

DeAndre Carter WR | CLE
Bears' DeAndre Carter: Unlikely to return Sunday
Carter (hamstring) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Carter suffered a hamstring injury early in the first quarter on his first kickoff return and went back to the locker room. He's been the Bears' primary returner on kickoffs and special teams, and the only other player on the active roster with any return stats for Chicago this season is corner Josh Blackwell.

Jordan Addison WR | MIN
Vikings' Jordan Addison: Career-high TD total in win
Addison secured eight of 12 targets for 133 yards and three touchdowns in the Vikings' 42-21 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Addison led the Vikings across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, narrowly edging Justin Jefferson by one in the first two categories. The second-year wideout's season had been considered largely disappointing until three games ago, when Addison turned in an 8-162-1 line against the Bears at Soldier Field. Sunday's performance saw Addison establish a new single-game career high in touchdown catches with scoring receptions of 49, 11 and six yards, and it also featured a season-high-tying reception tally and a new high-water mark in targets. Given his recent body of work, Addison will head into a Week 15 divisional showdown against the Bears on Monday night, Dec. 16 with plenty of momentum.

Justin Jefferson WR | MIN
Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Signature performance in win
Jefferson secured all seven targets for 132 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings' 42-21 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Jefferson finished just a reception and receiving yard shy of tying Jordan Addison for the team lead in both categories, but he enjoyed a highly efficient afternoon during which he finished with his third-highest receiving yardage total of the campaign. Jefferson also crossed the goal line for the first time since Week 7 with 12- and 52-yard touchdown grabs in the second and third quarters, respectively. The standout receiver has at least 81 receiving yards in three of the last four games heading into a Week 15 home divisional clash against the Bears on Monday night, Dec. 16.

Ryan Miller WR | NYG
Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Exits game Sunday
Miller is being evaluated for a concussion, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Miller exited the game in the fourth quarter and is now questionable to return. If he ends up being unable to return, Rakim Jarrett could see an uptick in playing time.

Irvin Charles WR | SEA
Jets' Irvin Charles: Leaves game due to knee injury
Charles (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Charles injured his knee early in the fourth quarter. He's serving in a depth role at wide receiver and did not record a target before leaving Sunday's game.

D'Wayne Eskridge WR | MIA
Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Won't return Sunday vs. Jets
Eskridge (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Eskridge will not return to Sunday's game after injuring his knee while blocking on a kickoff return in the second quarter. The Dolphins will need to turn to another player to fill in on special teams due to Eskridge's injury.

DJ Moore WR | BUF
Bears' DJ Moore: Playing in Week 14
Moore (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game in San Francisco.
Moore was contained to just one limited practice (Friday) during Week 14 prep, but he relayed to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com afterward, "I play through everything." Indeed, Moore will be available to the Bears' offense for the 13th time in as many contests this season, and he's coming off his most productive two-game stretch of the season (15-203-2 line on 23 targets) from Weeks 12 and 13.

Keon Coleman WR | BUF
Bills' Keon Coleman: Inactive Sunday
Coleman (wrist) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Coleman, who last saw game action in Week 9, was limited at practice this week before approaching the contest listed as questionable. With the 2024 second-rounder still sidelined Sunday, Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, Mack Hollins and Jalen Virgil will handle Buffalo's wideout duties versus Los Angeles, while Coleman will target a potential return to action next weekend against the Lions.
