Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Leading receiver in loss
Lockett corralled all six of his targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the 49ers.
Lockett boosted his 67.8 percent catch rate with his first perfect receiving game this season. The veteran finished as Seattle's leading receiver, but DK Metcalf and Colby Parkinson were the beneficiaries of Drew Lock's two touchdown passes Sunday. Lockett's clean outing brought his season line up to 65/711/4 through 13 games. The 30-year-old is in jeopardy of missing the 1,000-yard mark for the first time since 2018.

Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR
Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Costly fumble in Sunday's loss
Renfrow caught three of five targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings.
The veteran slot receiver finished second on the Raiders in receiving yards, but Renfrow also may have cost his team the game -- on Las Vegas' first possession of the second half, he caught a receiver screen and fumbled the ball after a big hit, ending the Raiders' only trip into the red zone. Renfrow has seen a more consistent role in the game plan since Josh McDaniels was fired, but he still has yet to catch a TD or reach 50 yards in a game heading into a Week 15 clash with the Chargers.

Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Five grabs in Sunday's loss
Meyers caught five of six targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings.
The Raiders' offense came out of the team's bye in a complete funk, but Meyers was still able to haul in at least four passes for the third straight game, although his grabs didn't produce much yardage. The fifth-year wideout hasn't seen double-digit targets since Week 7, but he'll look to break out in Week 15 against the Chargers.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Raiders' Davante Adams: Leading receiver in Week 14 loss
Adams caught seven of 10 targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings.
The Raiders' offense couldn't get anything going in the NFL's lowest-scoring game since 2007, but Adams still saw solid target volume and was the team's leading receiver. He's seen double-digit targets in three of the last four games, but Sunday's yardage was his lowest output in that stretch. Adams will look to take advantage of a good Week 15 matchup against the Chargers, who he posted an 8-75-0 line against on 13 targets in their first meeting this season.

Brandon Aiyuk WR | SF
49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Surpasses century mark
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.

Jordan Addison WR | MIN
Vikings' Jordan Addison: Makes little impact in Vegas
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.

Odell Beckham Jr. WR | MIN
Ravens' Odell Beckham: Delivers several splash plays
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.

DK Metcalf WR | PIT
Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Ejected following late dustup
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.

Amari Cooper WR | LV
Browns' Amari Cooper: Targeted 14 times
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.

Lynn Bowden Jr. WR | NO
Saints' Lynn Bowden: Logs four receptions Sunday
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.
