  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Returns to form Sunday

    Pearsall hauled in six of seven targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 37-24 win over Tennessee.

    Pearsall led San Francisco in receiving yards for the first time since returning from a knee injury he suffered back in Week 4. The 2024 first-round pick had amassed just five receptions for 20 yards over his last three appearances combined, so Sunday's strong showing may be a sign that the receiver is finally back to full strength. Pearsall will attempt to build off this performance when the 49ers visit the Colts for Monday Night Football in Week 16.

  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Held to 38 yards

    Hubbard rushed the ball eight times for 29 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints. He added one reception on one target for nine yards.

    Hubbard looked to be regaining momentum in the Carolina backfield, but he operated as a clear secondary option to Rico Dowdle in Sunday's loss. Hubbard managed only nine touches compared to 17 for Dowdle, and he's now been held below 50 yards from scrimmage in six of the Panthers' last seven games.

  • Jauan Jennings WR | MIN

    49ers' Jauan Jennings: Scores twice in win over TEN

    Jennings finished with three receptions on five targets for 37 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Titans.

    Jennings was money in the red zone Sunday when he cashed in a pair of short touchdown receptions to bring his season total up to seven. That marks a new career high for the veteran starter, who broke out with a 77-975-6 receiving line in 2024. Jennings has really picked things up in the second half with six touchdowns scored over his last six appearances. With QB Brock Purdy looking as healthy as he has all season, Jennings is primed for a strong finish to the fantasy campaign, starting with next Monday's tilt against the Colts.

  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Six targets in loss

    Reed recorded five receptions on six targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.

    Reed tied for the team lead with six targets, though the Packers continued to spread opportunity evenly among several of their skill-position players. He was one of three receivers to top 50 receiving yards, with most of his production coming after the catch -- including a 29-yard gain midway through the second quarter to help set up a Green Bay touchdown. Reed has combined to see 10 targets in two games since returning from a collarbone injury, and he should remain a key playmaker in the Packers' offense down the stretch of the regular season.

  • 49ers' George Kittle: Season high in receiving yards

    Kittle brought in eight of nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Titans.

    Kittle set a new single-game high in receiving yards (88) for 2025 on his second-highest reception total (eight) through nine healthy starts. The star tight end has been efficient with his 54 targets, producing a strong 83.3 percent catch rate so far this season. Kittle's season totals may end up suffering due to missed time to injury, but he remains one of the tight top ends in fantasy when he is on the field.

  • Troy Franklin WR | DEN

    Broncos' Troy Franklin: Returns to prominent role

    Franklin recorded six receptions on six targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.

    Franklin had been phased out of the Denver offense in the last two games, combining to earn only seven targets. However, he reemerged due to Pat Bryant (hamstring) being sidelined, finishing second on the team in yards, receptions and targets. Franklin had a trio of catches that went for at least 15 yards, the most important of which was a 23-yard touchdown grab to end the third quarter. He made the case to remain a key part of Denver's offense moving forward, though his role is uncertain heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Jaguars -- particularly if Bryant can return to the field.

  • Jalen Coker WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jalen Coker: Continues emerging for Carolina

    Coker recorded four receptions on four targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints. He also lost a fumble.

    Coker paced the team in receptions and yards while tying for the lead in targets with Tetairoa McMillan and Tommy Tremble. Coker made a few long receptions, highlighted by a 32-yard touchdown catch down the right sideline on Carolina's first possession of the second half. He also had a 24-yard gain, his first time recording multiple catches of at least 20 yards on the season. After posting minimal production immediately after his return from a hamstring injury, Coker has topped 50 receiving yards in three of his last four games while commanding at least four targets in five straight contests.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Gains 46 yards Sunday

    Kupp had five receptions on seven targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.

    Kupp failed to replicate last week's trip to the end zone, but he still finished with his best receiving totals since Week 10 against Arizona (2-74-0). The former WR1 in fantasy has been anything but during his late-stage tenure with Seattle, posting a 41-519-2 receiving line across 13 active games. Perhaps the aging superstar can elevate his game against his former club when the Seahawks host the Rams on Thursday Night Football in Week 16.

  • Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Overshadowed in loss

    McMillan recorded two receptions on four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

    McMillan tied for the team lead in targets, though both Jalen Coker and Tommy Tremble also had four targets. McMillan managed a 21-yard reception late in the second quarter to convert on fourth down, but he was otherwise unable to impact the game. He has now been held below 50 receiving yards in three straight games, though this performance also ended his three-contest touchdown streak.

  • RJ Harvey RB | DEN

    Broncos' RJ Harvey: Reaches end zone again

    Harvey rushed the ball 19 times for 65 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers. He did not catch his only target.

    Harvey got off to a tough start, as he fumbled on Denver's opening possession and his third touch of the game. He was benched for the team's next possession, though he was the team's lead back from there and managed a season-high carry total. As has been the case for most of his rookie season, Harvey wasn't efficient, with his longest gain of the night going for only eight yards. However, he did manage to punch in a four-yard rushing score late in the contest, his third straight game reaching the end zone. With J.K. Dobbins (foot) still likely to be sidelined for the foreseeable future, Harvey's role as the lead back looks secure, and he has a minimum of 16 touches in each of his last three games.
