Metchie caught four of eight targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Metchie tied for the team lead in targets with Mason Taylor while finishing second behind Taylor in both catches and receiving yards as the Jets struggled offensively while playing most of the game with third-string quarterback Brady Cook after Tyrod Taylor suffered an early groin injury. Metchie has made at least four catches in each of his last three games, establishing himself as a reliable option in an undermanned Jets passing game that has been playing without Garrett Wilson (knee), who is eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 15 against the Jaguars.

Brown rushed 12 times for 23 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of four targets for 12 yards and another score in the Bengals' 39-34 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Brown had a seemingly tantalizing matchup coming into the afternoon against what had been a vulnerable Bills front seven, but the third-year back was consistently shut down on the ground outside of a five-yard touchdown run with just under seven minutes remaining in the first quarter. Brown was less productive than usual as a receiver as well, considering his yardage total in that capacity was his lowest since Week 7, but he was able to record an impressive 10-yard contested TD grab with just over three minutes remaining in the first half. Brown's first opportunity to bounce back with more production yardage-wise come in a Week 15 home rematch against a Ravens team he posted 113 total yards against in a Thanksgiving Night win.

Smith-Njigba caught seven of 10 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons.

After not being needed in last week's rout of the Vikings, Smith-Njigba was a bigger part of the game plan this time around, hauling in a 28-yard TD from Sam Darnold in the third quarter and a four-yard score in the fourth as the Seahawks pulled away in the second half. JSN has fallen off his 2,000-yard pace over the last couple weeks, but he still leads the NFL by a wide margin with 1,428 yards through 13 games, to go along with 89 catches and nine touchdowns. The third-year wideout will look for another big performance in Week 15 against the Colts.

Chase brought in five of eight targets for 44 yards and rushed once for eight yards in the Bengals' 39-34 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Chase took a back seat to the returning Tee Higgins on the afternoon, with the Bills' attention on the former paying off nicely for the latter. Chase's receiving yardage total was his second sub-50-yard tally in the last three games, but the elite wideout hasn't seen fewer than eight targets since Week 3. Chase will aim to bounce back in a Week 15 home rematch with a Ravens team he posted a 7-110-0 line against in a Thanksgiving Night win.

Tagovailoa completed 13 of 21 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for no gain in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets.

Tagovailoa absorbed a big hit but delivered a three-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle on the opening drive. Miami's other three touchdowns all came on the ground, with De'Von Achane (ribs), Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon each scoring one. Achane exited in the second quarter, so the Dolphins went heavier on traditional runs rather than the screen passes that usually allow Achane to contribute as a receiver in space while padding Tagovailoa's passing stats. Tagovailoa notoriously struggles in cold conditions, and after this unimpressive statistical outing, he seems unlikely to heat up literally or figuratively in Week 15 at Pittsburgh.

Charbonnet carried the ball seven times for 46 yards and caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons.

Kenneth Walker saw a team-high 10 carries, but it was Charbonnet's 46 rushing yards that paced the Seahawks, and the 66 scrimmage yards represented his best performance since Week 10, Seattle's backfield remains a timeshare, but Charbonnet's nose for the end zone has made him the more reliable fantasy option -- he's got eight rushing TDs through 12 games, while Walker's scored only four. Charbonnet will look to hit paydirt again in Week 15 against the Colts.

Waddle caught five of seven targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets. He also rushed once for 21 yards.

Waddle capped the opening drive with a three-yard touchdown catch. Miami went with a run-heavy approach the rest of the way while playing with the lead and facing third-string Jets quarterback Brady Cook for most of the game, but Waddle still reached the five-catch threshold for the eighth time this season while leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. Waddle will have a nice opportunity to build on this outing in Week 15 against a Steelers defense that has struggled to contain wide receivers.

Hall rushed 14 times for 43 yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Miami stacked the box without fear and focused on containing Hall after Tyrod Taylor's first-half groin injury forced third-string quarterback Brady Cook into action for the Jets. Hall's 43 scrimmage yards marked his lowest total since Week 2, and he could struggle to find running room against Jacksonville's stout run defense in Week 15, especially if the Jets don't get either Taylor or Justin Fields (knee) back at quarterback. With four games remaining in the regular season, Hall needs 123 rushing yards to secure the first 1,000-yard rushing season of his four-year NFL career.

Coach Mike McDaniel noted after Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets that Achane (rib) was available to return to return to the contest in an emergency, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

McDaniel acknowledged that Achane was hurting after exiting the game with a rib issue, but it looks like the running back has a chance to avoid missing further game action, given that he did not suffer a fracture, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. That said, we'd expect Achane's name to appear on Miami's injury report ahead of the team's Nov. 15 game against the Steelers. With Achane logging just seven carries Sunday, Jaylen Wright saw added work, carrying 24 times for 107 yards and a TD, while Ollie Gordon mixed in with five carries for 17 yards and a TD.

Walker carried the ball 10 times for 29 yards and caught one of three targets for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons.

While he led the Seahawks' backfield in touches, Walker found little running room and Zach Charbonnet wound up pacing the team with 46 rushing yards. It was Walker's lowest yardage output since Week 1, but he has just one rushing TD over the last 10 games, managing 599 rushing yards on 4.6 yards per carry over that stretch. He'll try to break out in Week 15 against the Colts.
