  • Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Third straight game with TD

    Robinson caught two of three targets for 44 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for 22 yards during Sunday's 28-20 victory against the Commanders.

    With Tutu Atwell (concussion) out, Robinson entered the starting lineup for the first time all season with an opportunity to make a big impact against the Commanders' struggling defense. While the veteran wideout's target share took a big hit from the 15 combined looks he saw in the prior two contests, he rewarded fantasy managers with a 23-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter, and he added a 23-yard run and another 21-yard catch. Week 16 brings the stout New Orleans defense to town, but Matthew Stafford's trust in Robinson in the red zone may keep him on the fantasy radar.

  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Season-high snap count

    Hutchinson did not catch any of his three targets and had one carry for five yards in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over the Titans.

    He was on the field for a season-high 65 snaps, as Houston operated without Nico Collins (calf) and Tank Dell (lower leg). Hutchinson's rush attempt came in the red zone and was the rookie's fifth carry of the season. He was also the target on a couple of deep balls. If Collins is ready to go in Week 16 against the Browns, Hutchinson's playing time will take a hit.

  • Robert Woods WR | PIT

    Texans' Robert Woods: Increased opportunities

    Woods caught three of five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over Tennessee in Week 15.

    Woods had been on the outs recently, but he was afforded an increased role (62 snaps, 81 percent) with both Nico Collins (calf) and Tank Dell (lower leg, IR) unavailable. Collins never practiced in preparation for Week 15, which leaves his availability for Week 16's home game against Cleveland in doubt. If he can't go, Woods should reprise an enhanced role in the passing attack.

  • Marvin Mims WR | DEN

    Broncos' Marvin Mims: Held catchless in Week 15

    Mims carried the ball once for eleven yards and failed to secure either of his two targets in Saturday's 42-17 loss to the Lions.

    Mims was held without a catch for the fourth time this season as he continues to be used sparingly in Denver's offense. The rookie wideout played 26 of the Broncos' 64 offensive snaps Saturday, with Lil'Jordan Humphrey (37) handling No. 3 receiver duties behind Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy. Mims' limited usage keeps him far off the fantasy radar for a Week 16 matchup with the Patriots.

  • Browns' Marquise Goodwin: Hauls in long pass

    Goodwin caught his lone target for 57 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Chicago.

    The Browns have deployed Goodwin as a deep threat all season, and Joe Flacco finally made it work, hitting the receiver in stride early in the fourth quarter. The connection occurred on the first play after the Browns made a key fourth-and-1 stop at their own 33, igniting a 13-point fourth quarter to steal the game from the Bears. Goodwin entered the game with just three catches for 10 yards on the season.

  • Jahan Dotson WR | ATL

    Commanders' Jahan Dotson: Catches only target

    Dotson caught his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 28-20 loss at the Rams.

    Washington's fourth-quarter QB switch from Sam Howell to Jacoby Brissett did wonders for Terry McLaurin, who caught three passes for 93 yards and a touchdown in the final frame. Curtis Samuel also had a big day with a pair of scores among his nine targets, while Dotson didn't see a single target until midway through the fourth quarter and now ranks third on the team in targets this season (75, 5.4 per game). A late turnaround isn't entirely out of the question, but Dotson doesn't seem especially likely to breakthrough in Week 16 against an excellent Jets secondary.

  • Elijah Moore WR | PHI

    Browns' Elijah Moore: Quiet day in comeback win

    Moore caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bears in Week 15.

    Moore, who's had a mini resurgence with Joe Flacco under center, was barely noticeable in the Browns' comeback win. Both the targets and yards were his second fewest of the season. Moore entered the contest averaging four catches on eight targets for 55 yards over the previous five weeks. Amari Cooper and David Njoku are clearly Flacco's top options, but Moore is also competing for looks with rookie Cedric Tillman, who garnered four catches for 52 yards on eight targets Sunday.

  • Rondale Moore WR | MIN

    Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Gains eight yards on three touches

    Moore caught two of three targets for five yards and had one rushing attempt for three yards in Sunday's 45-29 loss to San Francisco.

    Arizona's receiving corps received healthy reinforcements coming out of the bye week, but Moore's role remained nearly the same as while his teammates were on the shelf. The three combined touches were the most for the utility wideout since Week 11 at Houston. Moore will likely struggle to generate fantasy value on so few touches when the Cardinals take on the Bears next Sunday.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: No catches on three targets

    Wilson (neck) was targeted three times but did not record a reception in Sunday's 45-29 loss to the 49ers.

    Wilson returned from a neck injury that cost him Arizona's last three games leading into the bye week. The 23-year-old failled to record a reception on three targets as he was eased back into action against San Francisco. While his stat line would normally sour any potential fantasy appeal, Wilson could see his role on offense increase if starter Marquise Brown (heel) is unable to suit up against Chicago next Sunday after re-aggravating the same heel injury for the second week in a row.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Jaguars' Zay Jones: Suffers hamstring injury late

    Jones caught five of eight targets for 59 yards before suffering a hamstring injury in the second half of Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens, according to Jaguars' beat reporter John Shipley.

    Jones did not return to the game, and head coach Doug Pederson commented that the injury "looked bad on the field." This isn't great news for Jones, who was already dealing with a knee injury prior to leaving Sunday's contest. The team will likely release more details in the coming days as Jones receives treatment. For the time being, the wideout should be considered questionable for next Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay.
