  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Five targets in London's absence

    Mooney caught two of five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets.

    Mooney led all Falcons wide receivers in targets but finished third on the team in that category behind Kyle Pitts (eight) and Bijan Robinson (seven) as Atlanta played without top wide receiver Drake London (knee) for a second consecutive game. Mooney had 74 yards and a touchdown in the first game London missed, but that performance was fueled by a 49-yard touchdown catch. If London remains sidelined in Week 14, Mooney would likely remain the de facto top wide receiver for the Falcons against Seattle's talented secondary.

  • Patrick Queen LB | PIT

    Steelers' Patrick Queen: Exits with hip injury

    Queen (hip) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Queen exited late in the second quarter after sustaining a hip injury trying to tackle Bills quarterback Josh Allen on a key third down. The linebacker was reportedly limping to the locker room as he took off his gloves. Carson Bruener and Malik Harrison will likely be called upon more if Queen is unable to return.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Rams' Davante Adams: Two more scores in Sunday's loss

    Adams caught four of five targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.

    Another week, another couple of red-zone TDs for the veteran wideout, who connected with Matthew Stafford for a four-yard score in the first quarter and a seven-yard strike in the second. Adams is up to a league-leading 14 touchdowns in 12 games in his first season with the Rams, the first time he's reached that mark since 2022, and his career high of 18 TDs from 2020 with the Packers is firmly in his sights. Adams will look to extend his current TD streak to six games in Week 14 against the Cardinals.

  • Saints' Devaughn Vele: Hauls in eight passes Sunday

    Vele gathered in all eight targets for 93 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 21-17 defeat against the Dolphins.

    Vele delivered a standout performance in his second game since becoming the Saints' WR2. He finished second on the team in targets behind tight end Juwan Johnson (nine) and ahead of WR1 Chris Olave (seven) - the latter of whom suited up after being listed as questionable with back spasms. Vele logged a career high in receiving yards while tying his career high for catches, and he logged his first touchdown reception since Week 2. After recording just six catches over his first nine appearances this season, the second-year wideout has now accrued 11 catches for 130 yards and a touchdown across the last two games. Another solid performance for Vele would go a long way toward establishing his reliability for fantasy purposes. New Orleans is next in action Week 14 versus Tampa Bay

  • Saints' Juwan Johnson: Tallies nine targets versus Miami

    Johnson logged five receptions (on nine targets) for 39 yards during Sunday's 21-17 defeat to the Dolphins.

    Johnson logged over eight targets for the first time since Week 2 and led the team in this category ahead of wideouts Devaughn Vele (eight) and Chris Olave (seven). The tight end finished with a decent outing by his standard, as he's now averaging 4.5 receptions and 48.0 receiving yards per game across 12 outings. In four games with rookie QB Tyler Shough starting under center, Johnson has accumulated an 18-208-2 stat line. He should remain as one of the Saints' top three targets when they next play versus Tampa Bay in Week 14.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Six grabs in loss to Carolina

    Nacua caught six of nine targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.

    Davante Adams was on the other end of both of Matthew Stafford's TD passes on the day, but Nacua led the Rams in catches and targets. Nacua has hauled in at least five passes in five straight games since returning from an ankle sprain in Week 9, racking up a 32-403-2 line on 42 targets over that stretch. The third-year wideout will look to keep rolling in a Week 14 divisional clash with the Cardinals.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Scores TD in Week 14

    Olave gathered in four of seven targets for 47 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 21-17 defeat to the Dolphins.

    Olave suited up after dealing with back spasms that left him questionable to play Week 13. The wideout finished third on the Saints in targets, as Devaughn Vele logged eight targets while tight end Juwan Johnson led the team with nine. Olave still scored his second touchdown in the last three games, connecting with rookie QB Tyler Shough for the second time since he became the Saints' starter Week 9. Despite the Saints' quarterback struggles, Olave's consistency and WR1 usage make him a no-brainer starting option for fantasy purposes. The Saints next face the Buccaneers in Week 14.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Big day in Week 13 loss

    Corum carried the ball seven times for a team-high 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.

    His TD came on a two-yard plunge right before halftime after Kyren Williams left the game to get his ankle checked out. Williams was back in the lineup to begin the second half and wound up with 72 rushing yards and a score of his own, and after the contest he indicated that he's not concerned about the ankle being a lingering issue. Even so, the Rams had already been increasing Corum's workload in recent weeks, so Williams' ankle might give them an excuse to move the backfield toward more of a 50-50 split in Week 14 against the Cardinals. Corum's 81 rushing yards were a season high, while his trip to the end zone was his first since Week 2.

  • Tyler Shough QB | NO

    Saints' Tyler Shough: Throws two TDs in loss

    Shough completed 26 of 38 passes for 239 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 21-17 defeat against the Dolphins. He also logged six rushes for 18 yards and committed a fumble.

    Shough aired it out again after logging 43 passing attempts in the Week 12 loss to Atlanta. The rookie QB was under fire in the pocket, taking four sacks, including one where he was stripped of the ball. Shough had an additional interception that didn't count on his official stat sheet, as it occurred on a two-point conversion attempt that was returned for two points the other way by Miami safety Minkah Fitzpatrick in the fourth quarter. Shough also didn't have the support of a consistent rushing attack, with Alvin Kamara out after suffering an MCL sprain last week. Across four starts, he has completed 68.1 percent of his passes for 235 yards per game and a 5:3 TD:INT. New Orleans will next play on the road against the Buccaneers in Week 14.

  • Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Two catches in return

    Thomas recorded two receptions on three targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Titans.

    Thomas returned from a three-game absence caused by an ankle injury, but his disappointing season continued. The Jaguars were able to rely relatively heavily on their run game while playing with at least a two-score lead for most of the game, but Thomas still finished tied for third on the team in targets. While he converted receptions of 17 and 11 yards, Thomas has now been held below 50 receiving yards in five of his nine games on the campaign.
