Several Colts receivers not named T.Y. Hilton managed to contribute to a comeback win in Cleveland on Sunday.

The best of the bunch was tight end Coby Fleener, who caught half of his 10 targets for 56 yards. Also chipping in were Donte Moncrief (3-33) and Dwayne Allen (1-5).

Lions tight end Joesph Fauria briefly left Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with an ankle injury, but returned to score his first touchdown of the year. 

Fauria, who had two catches for 17 yards and a touchdown, had just four catches for 57 yards coming into the day. Fauria had seven touchdowns in 2013.

The Lions will take on Minnesota in Week 15. 

Another poor game by Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer resulted in little production from his receivers on Sunday.

That group was led by tight end Jordan Cameron, who caught four passes for 41 yards, but had a mere one reception in the second half. Andrew Hawkins added four catches for 38 yards while Travis Benjamin (1-27), Taylor Gabriel (2-16) and tight end Jim Dray (1-3) also chipped in. 

Giants tight end Larry Donnell finished with four catches for 28 yards during a 36-7 win Week 14 at Tennessee. He was targeted seven times and his longest catch went 11 yards.

Donnell hasn't had a touchdown in three straight games. The Giants are back in action Week 15 vs. Washington. Donnell had a three-touchdown game Week 4 against the Redskins.

A disastrous Sunday afternoon at home for the Saints certainly filtered down to struggling tight end Jimmy Graham.

Graham, who is dealing with a sore shoulder, was held to just one catch in the first three quarters and finished with three for a mere 25 yards despite having 11 passes thrown his way. It's the fifth game this season in which he has gained 36 yards or less through the air.

He will try to raise his level of play against the visiting Bears next Monday night.

The Seahawks have listed Bryan Walters, Jeremy Lane, Allen Bradford, Max Unger, Travian Robertson, Cooper Helfet and RaShaun Allen as inactive for Week 14 against the Eagles.

Helfet came into the contest listed as doubtful due to an ankle injury. Lane was questionable with a glute issue. The other five players listed are healthy scratches. 

Lions tight end Joseph Fauria hurt his ankle in the first quarter of Detroit's Week 14 matchup against the Bucs and is questionable to return. 

Fauria has four catches for 57 yards this season. 

The Rams have placed only healthy scratches on their inactive list for their Week 14 game against the Redskins.

They are defensive back Lamarcus Joyner, cornerback Marcus Roberson, tight ends Alex Bayer and Justice Cunningham, guard Brandon Washington and defensive linemen Alex Carrington and Ethan Westbrooks.

The Jets deemed defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson (toe) as inactive for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

The following players were also listed as inactive: tight end Jace Amaro (concussion), guard Dakota Dozier, offensive tackle Wesley Johnson, wide receiver Walt Powell, quarterback Matt Simms and defensive back Josh Thomas.

A rare red light has been given to a probable by the Colts for their Sunday game in Cleveland. Linebacker Erik Walden (knee) will not play despite having received that designation.

The other probables have been green-lighted, including standout wideout T.Y. Hilton (hamstring). The rest of the group includes tight end Dwayne Allen (ankle), center Jonotthan Harrison (illness) and defensive end Cory Redding (knee).
