Aiyuk had six receptions on nine targets for 126 yards while also losing a fumble in Sunday's 28-16 win over Seattle.

Aiyuk was unable to extend his touchdown streak to five games, but he managed to record his fifth 100-yard receiving game of the season while also clinching the second 1,000-yard season of his young career. The route technician had a rare mistep early in the contest that resulted in an interception for quarterback Brock Purdy. Aiyuk's follies continued when he was gunning for a long touchdown reception early in the fourth quarter, only to have the ball punched out from behind by a trailing defender for the wideout's first fumble lost in 2023. The 25-year-old still spit out a solid fantasy line despite his mental miscues Sunday, highlighting how consistent and valuable the rising star has been week in and week out this season. Aiyuk will look to build on his new career high of 1,063 receiving yards when the 49ers take on the Cardinals next Sunday.

Addison caught two of three targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Raiders.

Justin Jefferson (chest) left the game in the second quarter and didn't return, but Addison didn't see a significant increase in his production afterward -- in fact, the two wideouts finished the game with identical numbers. The rookie has now failed to score a touchdown or reach 70 receiving yards in five straight games since Kirk Cousins (Achilles) was lost for the season. It's not clear if Jefferson is headed for another lengthy absence, and the Vikings' QB situation is unsettled with Nick Mullens having replaced Joshua Dobbs in the fourth quarter, so Addison's fantasy outlook could be especially volatile heading into a Week 15 road clash with the Bengals.

Beckham recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-31 win over the Rams.

Beckham tied for the team lead in targets with Zay Flowers, though he led the way in yardage thanks to several big plays. The most notable was a 46-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter, when Beckham split a double team down the sideline before adjusting to an underthrown ball and rolling into the end zone. He also tacked on lengthy receptions of 20 and 17 yards and fell just short of reaching the century mark for the second time in his last three games. Nevertheless, Beckham has emerged in the Ravens' offense since Mark Andrews (ankle) has gone down, and he'll face a struggling Jaguars' secondary in Week 15.

Metcalf was ejected late in the fourth quarter after getting involved in an on-field altercation in Sunday's 28-16 loss to San Francisco. He finished with two receptions on five targets for 52 yards and a touchdown.

Metcalf was ejected after giving Fred Warner what can best be described as a German suplex after the 49ers' linebacker intercepted Drew Lock in the final minutes of Sunday's loss. This triggered a chain of events that resulted in a mid-field skirmish involving players and coaches that saw ejections for both squads. Seattle did not get the ball back after losing its top wideout, so the ejection theoretically did not affect his final fantasy score. Perhaps Metcalf's frustration boiled over after he recorded all of his production on Seattle's opening drive, only to wind up with three targets and no receptions for the remainder of the game. Expect Metcalf to receive more looks in Week 15 when the Seahawks host the Eagles for Monday Night Football.

Cooper recorded seven receptions on 14 targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars. He also lost a fumble.

Cooper was targeted a season-high 14 times, marking his third game of the campaign with double-digit opportunities. He took advantage with his highest yardage total since Week 10, primarily on receptions in the short and intermediate areas of the field. While his stat line was positive overall, Cooper did lose a fumble midway through the second quarter that led directly to a Jacksonville touchdown. He should continue to see plenty of volume with Joe Flacco under center, though Cooper will see a suddenly stout Chicago defense in Week 15.

Bowden hauled in all four targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 28-6 victory over Carolina.

Bowden continued to fill in for injured starter Rashid Shaheed (thigh), who was inactive for the second game in a row Week 14. The latter wideout has been a big playmaker as both a downfield receiver and an explosive threat after the catch. In his absence, Bowden has mostly just filled in as a receiving target on screens and passes at or near the line of scrimmage to go along with punt-return responsibilities. The 26-year-old did record the Saints' second-longest play from scrimmage with a 15-yard reception in the fourth quarter, and he logged their second-most targets behind No. 1 wideout Chris Olave (five) and running back Alvin Kamara (five). This goes to show the severe shortcomings in the team's passing offense, and it doesn't look like Bowden will be able to replicate Shaheed's overall receiving value even if Shaheed remains sidelined Week 15 against the Giants.

Jeudy caught two of six targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Chargers.

Jeudy thought he had a five-yard touchdown in the second quarter, but it was reversed upon review, as he failed to get his second foot down along the sideline despite seemingly having enough room to do so. He remains stuck on one touchdown in 2023, and Jeudy has posted 16 or fewer yards in two of his last three games. Jeudy will try to turn things around Saturday in Detroit, but it has been a disappointing season so far after he set career highs with 972 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 2022.

Ridley recorded four receptions on 13 targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Browns.

Ridley benefitted from the absence of Christian Kirk (groin) and saw a season-high 13 targets. However, he struggled to produce, as he averaged only 4.1 yards per target with a long gain of just 16 yards. Ridley's efficiency should have the chance to rebound in future weeks as Trevor Lawrence's (ankle) health improves and in easier matchups. That may not come in Week 15, however, as the Jaguars draw a tough matchup against the stingy Baltimore secondary.

Sutton caught three of four targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Chargers.

Most of Sutton's production came on a sensational 46-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter, which he made with one hand despite being interfered with. It was the 10th touchdown catch of the season for Denver's top receiver, who has scored in seven of his last eight games. Sutton will look to build on his recent success in Saturday's Week 15 matchup with the Lions.

Scott caught a 15-yard pass in the Bears' 28-13 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Although Scott has caught passes in eight different games, he's yet to post 20 yards in a game. Unless his role increases, his low-scoring floor makes him tough to trust in fantasy lineups.
