Gabe Davis WR | BUF
Bills' Gabe Davis: Nabs two catches in Week 14 victory
Davis finished Sunday's 39-34 victory versus the Bengals with two catches on two targets for 21 yards.
Josh Allen spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers on a snowy Sunday, with much of his production going to tight ends Dawson Knox (6-93-0) and Dalton Kincaid (4-41-1). Among the Bills' wideouts, Davis had the most receiving yards, though Khalil Shakir finished with the better fantasy line due to hauling in a touchdown. Davis has seven catches on 10 targets for 88 yards through four games heading into a Week 15 road battle in New England.

Cairo Santos K | CHI
Bears' Cairo Santos: Makes every kick Sunday
Santos hit both field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers.
Santos hit from 33 yards in the second quarter and 41 in the third. A tough matchup against a good defense and a two-point conversion by his own team limited his extra-point opportunities, though. The Bears face another tough defense, Cleveland, in Week 15.

Ashton Jeanty RB | LV
Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Quiet showing against Denver
Jeanty rushed the ball 10 times for 30 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos. He added two receptions on four targets for eight yards.
The Raiders were within one possession for nearly three quarters of the game, though they still attempted only 12 rushes. Jeanty accounted for 10 of those, but his longest gain went for only six yards, and three of his 10 carries went for two yards or fewer. He's now been held to 50 rushing yards or fewer in five of his last six games, and he also had his lowest reception total since Week 7.

Gage Larvadain WR | CLE
Browns' Gage Larvadain: Records two catches in loss
Larvadain caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 31-29 loss to Tennessee in Week 14. He also returned four punts for 16 yards.
Larvadain recorded multiple targets for a second straight week following a five-game stretch in which he was targeted just twice (zero catches). An injury to fellow depth wideout Malachi Corley (concussion) could create more opportunities for Larvadain going forward. He also muffed one punt but recovered it, giving him four muffs in the last two games.

Elic Ayomanor WR | TEN
Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Hauls in TD in Week 14 win
Ayomanor caught one of three targets for a 14-yard touchdown Sunday in a 31-29 victory versus Cleveland.
Ayomanor got off to a promising start when he took a 14-yard pass from Cam Ward into the end zone early in the first quarter. However, that was the extent of the rookie wideout's production, as he didn't catch either of the other two balls thrown his way. Ayomanor finished fourth on the Titans in targets behind WR Chimere Dike (eight), WR Van Jefferson (four) and RB Tyjae Spears (four). With just four catches on 14 targets for 30 yards combined over his past three games, Ayomanor will be a very shaky fantasy play in Week 15 versus the 49ers.

Kyren Williams RB | LAR
Rams' Kyren Williams: Scores eighth rushing TD
Williams took 13 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 45-17 rout of the Cardinals.
Williams entered Sunday's contest with no injury designation and was not limited by the minor ankle injury he picked up in last week's loss to Carolina. The 24-year-old starter cashed in his eighth rushing touchdown of the season and 11th overall through 13 contests. Blake Corum's 12-128-2 rushing line will stand out in the box score, but it is worth noting that a significant portion of the backup's production came in garbage time of the blowout victory. Williams remains the top option in Los Angeles' backfield as the team prepares to host the Lions in Week 15.

Michael Pittman WR | PIT
Colts' Michael Pittman: Targeted 12 times
Pittman recorded nine receptions on 12 targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars.
Pittman had been on the wrong end of the target distribution among Colts' pass catchers in recent weeks, but he rebounded to lead the team in opportunity in Week 14. He was targeted primarily in short areas of the field by Riley Leonard, leading to a modest yardage total, though he did manage a long 24-yard catch shortly after halftime. Pittman nearly had an even bigger day, as he appeared to have a 16-yard touchdown that was ultimately nullified by a borderline pass interference call. While this was an encouraging performance, Pittman could struggle down the stretch due to Daniel Jones (Achilles) being out for the rest of the year.

Zane Gonzalez K | MIA
Falcons' Zane Gonzalez: Has kick blocked
Gonzalez went 3-of-4 on field-goal attempts in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.
The kicker hit from 35, 43 and 27 yards Sunday, but he had a 50-yard attempt blocked in the second quarter. It was only Gonzalez's second miss in five games since he signed with the Falcons in early November, and both have been field goals, as he's been perfect on extra points.

Evan Engram TE | DEN
Broncos' Evan Engram: Quiet in Week 14 win
Engram corralled both of his targets for eight yards in a 24-17 victory versus the Raiders on Sunday.
After breaking out for season-high marks with six catches and 79 receiving yards last Sunday versus Washington, Engram finished with his second-lowest receiving yardage tally in Week 14. The veteran tight end hasn't really been able to get going in his first year with the Broncos, managing a modest 40 catches for 347 yards and just one touchdown through 12 games. He'll be a low-end fantasy option in Week 15 against a Packers defense that ranks in the top half of the league in most categories versus tight ends.

Chimere Dike WR | TEN
Titans' Chimere Dike: Finds end zone in win
Dike brought in five of eight targets for 24 yards and a touchdown, returned one kickoff for 41 yards and ran back one punt for minus-2 yards in the Titans' 31-29 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Dike set the pace in receptions and targets on the afternoon for the Titans while also leading the team's wide receivers in yardage on a day when Cam Ward threw for just 117 yards. It was Dike's second five-catch tally in three games, while his five-yard catch with under 10 minutes remaining served as his third from scrimmage. Dike will continue to operate as the No. 2 receiver in Tennessee's typically low-volume passing attack during a Week 15 road matchup against the 49ers.
