Brooks (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Eagles.

Brooks will sit out for the second straight game as he sits as the sixth wide receiver on the depth chart. The 2023 seventh-round pick out of South Carolina last played in Week 12 against the Commanders when he hauled in his lone target for 24 yards.

St. Brown recorded three receptions on nine targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Bears.

St. Brown saw a fairly typical number of targets, but he posted a season-low yardage total. He got off to a fairly normal start to the game by recording all three of his receptions within Detroit's first three offensive possessions. However, he was shut out from there as the Lions' entire offense faltered in the final two quarters. St. Brown has been one of the most consistent receivers this season, but he has only 70 total receiving yards combined across the last two games.

Kupp recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-31 loss to the Ravens.

Kupp recorded his first 100-yard game since Week 6 and also reached double-digit targets for the first time since Week 8. He managed three receptions of at least 20 yards, the longest of which went for a 34-yard gain. Kupp also scored a six-yard touchdown early in the second quarter, his third trip to the end zone on the campaign. While both Kupp and the Rams' offense have been inconsistent this season, he should be in a good spot to continue his production in a Week 15 matchup against the subpar Commanders defense.

Jefferson (chest) won't return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Per Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Jefferson has been taken to a local hospital as a precaution. Jefferson thus finishes his first game back from IR with two catches on three targets for 27 yards. In his absence for the remainder of Sunday's contest, Jordan Addison, K.J. Osborn and Brandon Powell are next up for the Vikings' WR snaps.

Olave gathered in four of five targets for 28 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 28-6 win versus the Panthers.

Olave entered the weekend with an illness that had been afflicting him since Thursday, and he seemingly played at less than 100 percent Sunday. The same can be said for quarterback Derek Carr, who noted afterward the he's "up to three rib fractures" through Week 14, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. With Rashid Shaheed (thigh) and Taysom Hill (hand/foot) inactive, Olave matched running back Alvin Kamara for the team lead in targets with five, and the wideout turned one of them into his fourth TD of the campaign. Unfortunately for Olave, his streak with at least eight targets per game was snapped at seven. He'll now set his sights on the Giants' 20th-ranked pass defense next Sunday.

Evans brought in one of six targets for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 29-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Evans' final line was extremely out of the norm for the talented receiver, who's consistently served as Baker Mayfield's top target all season. The perennial Pro Bowler hadn't posted fewer than three catches or 39 yards in any game prior to Sunday this season, and he was coming off an explosive 7-162-1 line against the Panthers in Week 13. Evans may have an uphill battle bouncing back in notable fashion in a Week 15 road matchup against a talented Packers secondary.

Mingo caught two of nine targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Saints.

Mingo led the Panthers in targets but didn't do much with the volume, though much of the blame lies with quarterback Bryce Young's inaccuracy. Young's frequent misfires included a deep ball on which Mingo got behind the coverage for what should have been a long touchdown late in the first half. Mingo has at least six targets in each of the last five games, but the 2023 second-round draft pick is still searching for his first NFL touchdown heading into a Week 15 clash with the Falcons.

Thielen caught five of seven targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Saints.

Thielen was the only player to top 26 receiving yards for the Panthers, as Bryce Young threw for only 137 yards on 36 pass attempts. After posting at least 82 scrimmage yards in four of his first six games with the Panthers and scoring four touchdowns over that span, Thielen hasn't reached 75 yards or found the end zone since. The veteran wide receiver remains the top option in Carolina's struggling passing game heading into a Week 15 home game against the Falcons.

Jefferson was forced out of Sunday's game against the Raiders with a first-half chest injury.

Prior to his departure from the contest in his first game back since coming off an IR stint due to a hamstring injury, Jefferson caught two of his three targets for 27 yards. In his absence, Jordan Addison, K.J. Osborn and Brandon Powell are slated to lead the Vikings' WR corps versus Las Vegas.

Pittman brought in eight of 11 targets for 95 yards in the Colts' 34-14 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also recorded a two-point conversion catch.

Pittman put together a signature performance that saw him once again serve as the busiest pass catcher on the Colts. The fourth-year pro led the team across the board in three major receiving categories, and he's now posted at least eight receptions in six straight games. Pittman will head into a Week 15 Saturday afternoon matchup against the Steelers just five receptions away from his first 100-reception campaign, as well as only 16 yards short of his second 1,000-yard season.
