  • Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Plays two offensive snaps Sunday

    Mostert rushed once for six yards and he returned one kickoff for 29 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Chargers.

    Mostert's lone carry didn't come until the Raiders' final drive of the contest, and the 33-year-old veteran logged just two offensive snaps while rookie Ashton Jeanty handled 21 total touches out of the backfield. Expect a similarly lopsided split of the workload against the Broncos in Week 14.

  • Jack Bech WR | LV

    Raiders' Jack Bech: Targeted three times in loss

    Bech caught two of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Chargers.

    Despite exiting the contest momentarily with a chest injury before returning in the third quarter, Bech still managed to log more offensive snaps (27) than both Tyler Lockett (25) and Dont'e Thornton (14) in the Raiders' first game since former offensive coordinator Chip Kelly's firing. Although he's in a tough matchup against the Broncos in Week 14, Bech will continue to battle for the WR2 role behind Tre Tucker.

  • Elijah Moore WR | PHI

    Elijah Moore: Catches on with Denver

    Moore signed with the Broncos' practice squad Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of Denver's official site reports.

    Denver will mark the fourth stop of Moore's five-year NFL career, after the 25-year-old wideout previously had stints with the Jets, Browns and Bills since entering the league as a second-round pick in 2021. Before being cut by Buffalo last week, Moore had been active for nine of the team's first 11 games and produced a 9-112-0 receiving line on 17 targets while adding 24 yards and a touchdown on six carries. All five of Denver's receivers on the 53-man roster are healthy at the moment, so Moore won't necessarily be in line for an elevation from the practice squad for the team's Week 14 matchup with the Raiders.

  • Austin Hooper TE | ATL

    Patriots' Austin Hooper: Held without a catch Monday

    Hooper was on the field for 25 of a possible 65 snaps on offense in Monday's 33-15 win over the Giants, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

    In the process, Hooper, who caught three of his four targets for 39 yards the Patriots' Week 12 win over the Bengals, did not record a target in the contest, while fellow TE Hunter Henry (49 snaps) brought in four of six targets for 73 yards. Hooper heads into his team's bye week with a 16/213/1 receiving line on 19 targets in 12 games, a rate of production that limits his fantasy viability to the deepest of formats.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Minimal production in Week 13 win

    Shepard brought in one of two targets for five yards in the Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    With Chris Godwin upping his involvement in his second game back from an extended absence and Tez Johnson functioning as the clear No. 3 receiver, Shepard saw just 16 snaps (26 percent) and was minimally involved. The veteran wideout's drop in playing time was alarming, considering he'd played over 40 snaps in each of the previous three games. Moreover, with Mike Evans (IR, collarbone) reportedly making progress toward a return and Godwin likely to continue ramping up in coming games, Shepard may be consistently relegated to No. 4 receiver status down the stretch.

  • Julian Hill TE | NE

    Dolphins' Julian Hill: Unable to secure only target

    Hill could not secure his only target during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Saints.

    Hill's 56 percent snap share was the highest of any of Miami's tight ends, but he mostly contributed as a blocker. Darren Waller saw more involvement in the passing game and led Miami with 47 receiving yards on just two catches. Meanwhile, No. 3 tight end Greg Dulcich was also more involved than Hill as a receiver, securing both of his targets for 24 yards. Hill will likely reprise a similar level of involvement in Week 14 versus the Jets.

  • Theo Johnson TE | NYG

    Giants' Theo Johnson: Matches previous high in targets

    Johnson had three receptions (on eight targets) for 29 yards in Monday's 33-15 loss to the Patriots.

    Johnson matched his previous single-game high in targets (eight) set back in Week 10 against the Bears, but the large volume didn't translate into proportional production this time around. The 24-year-old was New York's fourth-leading receiver despite tying Wan'Dale Robinson for the most looks from Jaxson Dart on Monday Night Football. Johnson has still been a pleasant surprise in fantasy this season by generating a 42-456-5 receiving line across 13 games while catching passes from three different quarterbacks. The Penn State product has carved out a significant role on offense and should maintain steady value when the Giants return from the upcoming bye week to host the Commanders in Week 15.

  • Greg Dulcich TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Greg Dulcich: Targeted twice with Waller back

    Dulcich secured both of his targets for 24 yards during Sundays' 21-17 win over the Saints.

    Dulcich saw his workload diminish to 36 percent of offensive snaps with Darren Waller back from IR. He had played around 50 percent of offensive snaps in each of Miami's two games prior to the team's Week 12 bye. Waller played only 46 percent of offensive snaps in his first game back from a pectoral injury, and he could see his involvement ramp up as early as Week 14 against the Jets, to Dulcich's further detriment.

  • Dolphins' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Goes untargeted again

    Westbrook-Ikhine was not targeted during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Saints.

    Westbrook-Ikhine has now gone back-to-back games without a target, having played 15 and 13 offensive snaps in those contests, respectively. With such minimal involvement in the passing game for Miami, he remains distinctly off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Jets. The return of tight end Darren Waller from IR further diminishes Westbrook-Ikhine's prospects.

  • Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Works alongside Wright

    Gordon rushed three times for 10 yards during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Saints.

    Gordon logged the same number of carries as fellow reserve running back Jaylen Wright, who managed 16 yards on the ground. Both remain in clear reserve roles behind starter De'Von Achane, who had 22 carries for a whopping 134 yards and one score, but Gordon may be facing actual competition for Wright as the clear No. 2 back in Miami heading into a Week 14 divisional matchup against the Jets.
