  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Third straight 100-yard showing

    Lamb recorded six catches on 10 targets for 111 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to Minnesota.

    The Cowboys' pass catchers almost universally disappointed in Sunday night's loss, with Lamb being the only exception. He paced the team in every statistical category while commanding double-digit targets for the sixth time in 11 games this season. Lamb was efficient with the opportunity primarily due to a pair of 30-yard receptions, and he topped 100 receiving yards for the third straight game.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Limited to two catches in win

    McConkey secured two of three targets for 20 yards in the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

    McConkey was once again quiet in the gritty road win, finishing with less than 25 receiving yards for the third time in the last four games. McConkey's muted afternoon was all the more noteworthy considering the absence of Quentin Johnston (groin), and his target tally was his lowest of the season. The second-year wideout will look to exploit an inconsistent Cowboys secondary in a Week 16 road showdown next Sunday.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Win doesn't cure cold spell

    Jefferson was held to two receptions on eight targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

    Jefferson stayed under 25 receiving yards for the third straight appearance despite the Vikings rattling off consecutive wins. The chemistry with QB J.J. McCarthy is simply not there at the moment, with the duo generating a 50 percent catch rate or worse during the wideout's three-game skid in fantasy. Jefferson had a prime opportunity to turn his fortunes around in the second half when McCarthy rifled a pass to the corner of the end zone that hit his star receiver in the hands before dropping harmlessly to the ground. Fantasy managers may have no choice but to stick with Jefferson through his career-worst slump, as he possesses the skill to break out against the Giants next Sunday.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: One snag in defeat

    Pierce caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.

    Pierce was limited to a season-low 16 receiving yards while reeling in just one catch for the second time in four weeks. The wide receiver was working with 44-year-old Philip Rivers for the first time, and the veteran quarterback struggled to push the ball down the field, completing 18 of 27 passes for 120 yards in the contest. Pierce has proven to be an elite vertical threat in his fourth campaign in Indianapolis, securing 13 receptions of 20-plus yards, but his upside could be limited moving forward if Rivers remains the starter.

  • Colts' Michael Pittman: Quiet in Rivers' first start w/ IND

    Pittman had three receptions on five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.

    Philip Rivers' first start with the Colts in 2025 did not generate any fantasy stars from the receiving corps. Pittman did lead all Indianapolis wide receivers in targets and yardage, but that is not saying much in a game during which the offense was held to 120 passing yards. Pittman's value understandably dropped off following the news of QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) missing the rest of the season, and Rivers coming out of retirement may not be able to salvage it. The 27-year-old Pittman carries more value in deep and PPR formats for next Monday's tilt against the 49ers.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Reaches 100 yards

    Sutton recorded seven receptions on 10 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.

    The Broncos have spread targets around for much of the season, but Sutton was the key pass catcher in Sunday's win. He led the team with 10 targets, his fourth time hitting that mark this season. Sutton delivered several splash plays with that opportunity, including gains of 42 and 26 yards as well as a 14-yard touchdown reception. That helped him top 100 receiving yards for the first time since Week 3 while falling only five yards short of his season high.

  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Red-hot play continues

    Williams caught seven of nine targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.

    Williams continued his recent string of WR1 performances by nearly matching the season-best line of 7-144-1 he produced against the Packers in Week 13. The Alabama product is averaging 95.3 yards per game since Detroit's Week 8 bye, and that includes a zero-catch dud against the Giants. Amon-Ra St. Brown (13-164-2) also feasted against the Rams' secondary, proving that this passing attack can generate two fantasy stars simultaneously. Williams needs just 64 receiving yards against the Steelers next Sunday in order to reach the 1,000-yard plateau in consecutive seasons.

  • Jets' John Metchie: Makes four catches again

    Metchie caught four of five targets for 25 yards and rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars.

    Metchie has caught at least four passes in each of the past four games. He has carved out a steady role since coming over from Philadelphia via trade, but Metchie's ceiling remains capped by the Jets' inefficient quarterback play heading into a Week 16 trip to New Orleans.

  • Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Six catches, TD on nine targets

    Mitchell caught six of nine targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars. He also rushed once for minus-4 yards.

    Mitchell got the Jets on the board with a nine-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. The twitchy wide receiver has been targeted 40 times in five appearances for the Jets. Mitchell has been inconsistent while dealing with subpar quarterback play, but his mix of athleticism and target share will give the 52nd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft some enticing upside in Week 16 against the Saints, no matter whom the Jets tab as their starting quarterback.

  • Isaiah Bond WR | CLE

    Browns' Isaiah Bond: Two long catches

    Bond recorded two receptions on four targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Bears.

    Bond was one of the few bright spots in Sunday's blowout loss, as he accounted for nearly half of Shedeur Sanders' yardage with long catches of 47 and 42 yards. It was his second time showing strong rapport with Sanders on deep passes, as he also had a pair of 29-yard catches in Week 12. Bond will likely remain inconsistent due to his role in the Cleveland offense -- this marks the first time that he's topped two targets in the team's last five games -- but he has shown the ability to deliver splash plays.
