Josh Palmer WR | BUF
Bills' Joshua Palmer: One catch in victory
Palmer caught one of two targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 35-31 win over the Patriots.
Palmer was held to one catch for the first time since Week 3, though he's yet to exceed two receptions in a contest since Week 1. The wide receiver finished fourth on the team in receiving yards, while his two targets were his fewest since returning from an ankle injury in Week 11. Palmer will look to be more involved in the team's matchup with the Browns on Dec. 21.

Amon-Ra St. Brown WR | DET
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Posts 13-164-2 line Sunday
St. Brown finished with 13 receptions on 18 targets for 164 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.
St. Brown's pair of scores in the first half helped give the Lions a couple of early leads in Sunday's shootout. While his team wasn't able to hang on to win the contest, the fantasy star did his part while recording season-high marks in receptions, targets and yardage. St. Brown has looked like his usual dominant self in the two games since giving his fantasy managers a scare with an early exit due to an ankle injury on Thanksgiving Day. The 25-year-old's standout performance against the Rams helped him reach 1,000 receiving yards for the fourth consecutive campaign. St. Brown boasts a healthy 94-1,140-11 receiving line heading into next Sunday's tilt against Pittsburgh.

Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: Catches all three targets in return
Washington (hip) caught all three of his targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Jets.
Washington returned from a one-game absence and reprised his role as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers, who each saw seven targets Sunday. With Thomas and Meyers both healthy, Washington isn't expected to play a significant role in Week 16 against the Broncos.

Isaiah Williams WR | NYJ
Jets' Isaiah Williams: Six catches in defeat
Williams caught six of seven targets for 53 yards and added nine yards on two punt returns in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars.
Williams was able to finish with career highs in both catches and receiving yards in Week 15, most notably securing a 25-yard snag in the first quarter. The wide receiver had caught only seven of 13 targets for 61 yards over 11 contests coming into Sunday, so his performance was a bit of a breakout. Williams will look to build off of his day in Week 16 against the Saints.

Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Cleared to fly home
Watson (chest) has been released from the hospital and is flying home with the Packers, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Watson was taken to the hospital after suffering a chest injury during Sunday's loss to the Broncos, but he has gained clearance to return home. The next update on Watson's status will surface no later than Tuesday, when the Packers resume practicing ahead of Saturday's game against the Bears.

Tre Harris WR | LAC
Chargers' Tre' Harris: Season-high 49 yards in Week 15 win
Harris caught three passes on five targets for 49 yards during the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.
Harris stepped into a larger role on offense Sunday due to the absence of Quentin Johnston (groin). Harris finished with a season-high 49 receiving yards, including a 37-yard catch late in the second quarter that put the Chargers deep into opposition territory and eventually led to a 16-yard touchdown pass from Justin Herbert to KeAndre Lambert-Smith three plays later. Harris' targets and receiving yards were both second most on the Chargers, and he would be in line for an expanded role in Week 16 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Dec. 21 if Johnston is not cleared to return.

Kayshon Boutte WR | NE
Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Secures only target
Boutte caught his only target for 30 yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills.
Boutte was limited to one or zero catches for the first time since Week 9, but he was still able to finish second on the team in receiving yards behind fellow wideout Mack Hollins (41). Boutte has been a real boom-or-bust option this season, finding the end zone in five different contests while also having five performances in which he was limited to 30 or fewer yards. The wide receiver will look to put together a more prolific stat line in Week 16 against the Ravens.

Keenan Allen WR | LAC
Chargers' Keenan Allen: Team-high seven targets vs. KC
Allen caught five passes on seven targets for 36 yards during the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
The Chargers had just four wide receivers on the active roster for Sunday's AFC West tilt, with Quentin Johnston (groin) being the noticeable absentee. Allen paced the Chargers pass catchers with a team-high seven targets and finished with the third-most receiving yards behind rookies Oronde Gadsden (61) and Tre' Harris (49). Allen's catches and targets were his highest since Week 7 against the Colts (11 catches on 14 targets for 119 yards and a score). Next up for Allen and the Chargers is a Week 16 road tilt against the Cowboys on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Held in check in Week 15
Jeudy caught two of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Bears.
Jeudy was limited to his fewest catches since Week 12, while his 22 receiving yards were his least since Week 11. The wide receiver has now finished with fewer than 40 yards in four of the last five games and eight times overall this season. Jeudy will look to bounce back at home in Week 16 against the Bills.

Jayden Higgins WR | HOU
Texans' Jayden Higgins: Quiet in blowout win
Higgins caught his lone target for four yards during the Texans' 40-20 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
It was a disappointing outing for Higgins, who was held to just one target for the first time since Week 9 and the fifth time on the season. It broke his five-game streak of at least five targets, as Dalton Schultz (8-76-1 on nine targets) and Nico Collins (3-85-2 on four targets) paced the Texans' pass catchers during Sunday's blowout win. Higgins will look to bounce back in Week 16 against the Raiders, whose defense yielded three touchdown passes to Jalen Hurts during their 31-0 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
