  • Giants' Gunner Olszewski: Limited to punt-return duties

    Olszewski logged all nine of his snaps on special teams in Monday's 24-22 win over the Packers.

    Since joining the Giants in late October, Olszewski hasn't factored into the mix at receiver. He's played all 39 of his snaps with New York on special teams, where he seems to have solidified himself as the team's top punt returner. He's brought back 12 punts for 111 yards through his first six games with the Giants.

  • Giants' Sterling Shepard: Active, but fails to play Monday

    Shepard was active for Monday's 24-22 win over the Packers but didn't play any snaps on offense or special teams.

    Even with fellow slot receiver Parris Campbell (knee) missing the Week 14 contest, Shepard wasn't part of the Giants' wideout rotation. The Giants' decision to keep Shepard on the bench the entire night was somewhat surprising, considering the 30-year-old had drawn 10 targets over the team's last three games before a Week 13 bye. If Campbell is back in action for this Sunday's game against the Saints, Shepard could be a healthy inactive for the contest.

  • Colton Dowell WR | PIT

    Titans' Colton Dowell: Light role on offense once again

    Dowell played two of the Titans' 71 snaps on offense and went without a target in Monday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins.

    Meanwhile, Dowell was on the field for 19 special-teams snaps, and he'll likely to continue to bring most of his value to the Titans on their coverage units rather than at receiver. The rookie seventh-round pick has been targeted just once across 31 snaps on offense this season.

  • Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Plays more than Mims again

    Humphrey logged 38 of the Broncos' 67 snaps on offense and hauled in his lone target for a 12-yard reception in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Chargers.

    For the second week in a row, Humphrey worked as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver ahead of rookie Marvin Mims, taking on a 57 percent snap share to Mims' 37 percent. Though his playing time appears to be on the rise, Humphrey is typically little more than a tertiary option in the passing game while he often shares the field with Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and Javonte Williams. Humphrey has drawn exactly one target in five straight contests.

  • Derius Davis WR | LAC

    Chargers' Derius Davis: Plays exclusively special teams

    Davis played all 12 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 24-7 loss to the Broncos and returned two kickoffs for 44 yards.

    For the first time in his 13 appearances this season, Davis failed to take a snap on offense, with the Chargers prioritizing all of Keenan Allen, Quentin Johnston, Alex Erickson and Jalen Guyton ahead of him at receiver. The Chargers will return Joshua Palmer (knee) from injured reserve for Thursday's game in Las Vegas, so Davis is set to drop down another spot on the depth chart. Davis should continue to remain active on game days through his role as the Chargers' top option on kickoff and punt returns.

  • Jamal Agnew WR | ATL

    Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Cleared to practice

    Agnew (shoulder) was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday.

    Agnew has spent the minimum of four weeks on IR and could return to action as soon as Sunday against the Ravens. However, the Jaguars will have a 21-day window to evaluate him in practice before he would need to be added to the 53-man roster or left on IR for the remainder of the season.

  • Kadarius Toney WR | CLE

    Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Five touches in loss

    Toney caught three of four targets for 25 yards and carried the ball twice for 16 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bills.

    Toney's modest production on five touches would have made him an afterthought in the contest if it wasn't for what was likely a game-deciding offside penalty he committed late in the fourth quarter. The penalty erased what would have been a highlight-reel play in which the wideout scored a touchdown after a lateral by Travis Kelce for the go-ahead score with just over a minute left in the game. With that said, Toney continues to underwhelm fantasy managers and remains an untrustworthy fantasy option.

  • Chiefs' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Reels in two catches

    Valdes-Scantling secured two of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bills.

    Valdes-Scantling continued his disappointing season Sunday, catching just two passes for the second straight week. The veteran wideout played 22 of the Chiefs' 66 offensive snaps, behind Rashee Rice (56), Justin Watson (36), Kadarius Toney (29) and Skyy Moore (23). Since Kansas City's Week 9 bye, Valdes-Scantling is roughly averaging a 45 percent snap share compared to the 61 percent average he saw in the first eight games. Seeing such limited opportunities, the 29-year-old is an untrustworthy fantasy option in most formats. he'll look to make the most of his opportunities in Week 15 when the Chiefs visit the Patriots.

  • Skyy Moore WR | GB

    Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Non-factor against Bills

    Moore was unable to secure his lone target in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bills.

    Moore was held without a catch for the third time this season, while playing just 35 percent of the Chiefs' offensive snaps Sunday. Through 13 games, the second-year wideout has posted just 21 catches for 244 yards and one touchdown, underwhelming fantasy managers hoping for a breakout sophomore campaign entering the season. With limited opportunities in Kansas City's struggling offense, Moore is not a reliable fantasy option in most formats. Moore and the Chiefs are set to visit the Patriots in Week 15.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Falcons' Mack Hollins: Targeted once against Buccaneers

    Hollins reeled in his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Hollins played just six of the Falcons' 72 offensive snaps Sunday, the least of any Atlanta pass catcher. The veteran wideout exited the contest in the first quarter with an ankle injury, but he was able to return to the game. Hollins had missed the previous three games due to an ankle injury, so it's promising that he was able to play through the issue against the Buccaneers. In the 10 games he's played, the 28-year-old has recorded just 18 receptions for 251 yards. Hollins should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Falcons visit the Panthers in Week 15.
