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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Shaheed caught five of seven targets for 74 yards, lost two yards on one carry and ran back six kicks for 137 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.

Shaheed left his mark across the final box score with another well-balanced effort on both offense and special teams. The trade-deadline acquisition struggled out of the gates with Seattle, but he has settled in nicely over his last two games with averages of 4.5 receptions, 70.5 receiving yards and 142.5 return yards. Shaheed's increased usage puts him on the map as a flex option against the Rams on Thursday Night Football in Week 16.

Ferguson recorded two catches on four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.

Ferguson was surprisingly uninvolved in the Dallas offense for most of the game, with both of his catches going for short gains in the second quarter. His four targets were his fewest since Week 8, though this was the third time in his last seven games that Ferguson had 16 receiving yards or fewer. Ferguson will draw another tough matchup in Week 16 against the Chargers.

Charbonnet rushed eight times for 31 yards while failing to secure his only target in Sunday's 18-16 win over Indianapolis.

Charbonnet was the Seahawks' leading rusher despite finishing with single-digit carries for the fifth time this season. Starter Kenneth Walker continued his recent struggles with an abysmal 9-17-0 rushing line, resulting in no Seattle players averaging over four yards per carry Sunday. Charbonnet has provided a solid baseline for those in deeper fantasy leagues while serving as a touchdown-dependent asset in standard formats for week 16.

Abdullah rushed four times for 15 yards and caught all five of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.

Abdullah benefited from having Philip Rivers take over under center for the injured Daniel Jones (Achilles) after the backup running back finished as the Colts' leading receiver Sunday. The 32-year-old Abdullah hadn't recorded more than two receptions in any of his previous nine appearances this season, but the higher target share could become a trend with Rivers needing to make plenty of check-down passes to preserve his own health down the stretch. Abdullah represents a sneaky play in Week 16 for those in deep PPR formats, but the veteran backup can safely be ignored elsewhere.

Parkinson had five receptions on seven targets for 75 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions.

Parkinson turned in his finest fantasy performance to date after recording a season-high 75 yards while hitting pay dirt twice in the win over Detroit. The 26-year-old has now scored six touchdowns across his last six appearances, placing him firmly on the map as a starting fantasy option for the second half of the season. Fantasy managers should continue riding the hot hand as Parkinson prepares to face his former club in a road matchup against Seattle on Thursday Night Football in Week 16.
