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.

Marquise Goodwin WR | CLE
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.
-
Calvin Ridley WR | TEN
Jaguars' Calvin Ridley: Another inefficient game
Ridley finished with five receptions and 39 yards off 12 targets in Sunday's 23-7 loss to Baltimore.
Ridley posted a similarly inffefficient stat line to last week's four-catch, 53-yard performance off 13 targets. The absence of Christian Kirk (groin) has resulted in back-to-back games with double-digit targets for Ridley after he reached that total just twice in his previous 12 contests. Despite the increased attention, the results haven't been there for the wideout since quarterback Trevor Lawrence suffered, and continues to play through, a high-ankle sprain back in Week 13. That said, Ridley is still a viable starting option for next Sunday's tilt against Tampa Bay based on his target volume alone.

Rashod Bateman WR | BAL
Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Outplays team's other WRs in win
Bateman caught three of six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Jaguars.
Bateman tied tight end Isaiah Likely for the team lead in targets, while Odell Beckham and Zay Flowers were held to just one catch apiece on five combined targets. The 24-year-old wideout set new season highs in both targets (six) and receiving yards (39). While his uptick in usage was encouraging, Bateman remains stuck on one touchdown heading into a Week 16 matchup with the 49ers.
