  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Records seven receptions

    Jeudy recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 24-15 win over Arizona.

    As expected, Jeudy led Denver's receiving corps in targets, receptions and yards with Courtland Sutton (hamstring) still sidelined. Jeudy's performance was highlighted by gains of 19 and 14 yards, though he otherwise worked primarily in the short areas of the field. While he wasn't able to repeat his three-touchdown performance from Week 14, Jeudy has 17 targets and 149 yards combined across his last two games.

  • Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN

    Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Grabs eighth touchdown in win

    Chase had seven receptions (13 targets) for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-23 win over the Buccaneers.

    Chase was bottled up for the majority of this contest before Joe Burrow found his favorite target for a short score in fourth quarter. It wasn't the most efficient use of 13 targets from the star wideout, but the touchdown put a bow on a solid point total for managers in the thick of the fantasy playoffs. Chase draws a tough matchup against the Patriots in Week 16, as Bill Belichick's defenses are notorious for keying in on the opposition's top offensive weapon. New England held Las Vegas' Davante Adams to a 4/28/0 receiving line in Week 15, so the Bengals will have to get creative in getting Chase open Saturday.

  • Cardinals' DeAndre Hopkins: Tallies seven receptions

    Hopkins recorded seven receptions on 11 targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Broncos.

    Hopkins paced Arizona's pass catchers in every statistical category, and he managed a respectable performance despite playing with the team's second- and third-string quarterbacks. Due to the quality of quarterback play, Hopkins was forced to work primarily in the short areas of the field, as his longest catch went for 18 yards and only two of his catches went for double-digit gains. Hopkins' role in the offense is safe moving forward, though he could continue to struggle to put up exceptional numbers due to the state of the Arizona offense -- particularly if Colt McCoy (concussion) remains sidelined for a Week 16 matchup with Tampa Bay.

  • Cam Sims WR | CAR

    Commanders' Cam Sims: Suiting up Sunday night

    Sims (back) has been ruled active for Sunday Night Football against the Giants.

    Sims will suit up for his 14th game of the season despite being limited in each practice Week 15 with a back injury. He'll likely continue to slot in alongside Dax Milne as Washington's No. 5 and No. 6 receivers in this pivotal divisional matchup.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Hauls in 68-yard touchdown pass

    Shaheed logged three receptions (on four targets) for 95 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 21-18 win over the Falcons.

    Shaheed set a new career high in receiving yards for the second week in a row. He also hauled in a 68-yard touchdown on a pass that traveled 33 yards through the air from change-of-pace quarterback Taysom Hill. That marked the Saints' longest play from scrimmage this season. Shaheed's increased usage over the past four games has paid dividends for New Orleans, as he has now logged three receptions of 20 yards or more and two receptions of 40 yards or more during this span. Shaheed has yet to record more than four targets in a game this season, but he and top wideout Chris Olave should continue to serve as the team's go-to options for long plays down the field moving forward.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Jaguars' Zay Jones: Erupts for three touchdowns

    Jones recorded six receptions on eight targets for 109 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 40-34 win over the Cowboys.

    Jones entered the game with two touchdowns across 12 games this season, and he more than doubled that total with his effort Sunday. He found the end zone from five, 59 and three yards away, with his final score coming at a crucial time in the fourth quarter. Jones has clearly established himself as a key part of the suddenly potent Jaguars offense, as he has at least seven targets in each of his last five games. His results have been a bit inconsistent in that span, though he's topped 65 yards on four occasions.

  • Jets' Braxton Berrios: Catches one of six targets

    Berrios caught one of six targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions.

    Zach Wilson tried to find Berrios deep downfield on a few occasions, but the quarterback and receiver couldn't get on the same page. Berrios' six targets tied his Week 1 season high, and he has yet to match his five catches or 37 receiving yards from the season opener.

  • Jaguars' Christian Kirk: Records 92 yards

    Kirk recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 40-34 win over the Cowboys.

    Kirk continued enjoying a high level of involvement in the Jaguars' offense, and he now has at least seven targets in eight consecutive games. He also ripped off long gains of 33, 27 and 15 yards to help him record 9.0 yards per target. With performance, Kirk now has at least 90 receiving yards in three of his last five games, though his effort Sunday was overshadowed by a three-touchdown eruption from Zay Jones.

  • Elijah Moore WR | PHI

    Jets' Elijah Moore: Fourth-down conversion not enough

    Moore caught four of seven targets for 51 yards and rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions.

    Moore made a 20-yard catch with one second left in the fourth quarter to convert on 4th-and-18, but Greg Zuerlein missed a 58-yard field-goal attempt on the next play as the Jets' final drive fell short. Moore reached the 60-yard threshold in two of the previous three games when Mike White (ribs) was under center, but he has yet to do so with any other quarterback this season. Zach Wilson started this game and will likely remain under center Thursday against the Jaguars unless White makes an unexpectedly quick recovery.

  • Byron Pringle WR | WAS

    Bears' Byron Pringle: Snags late TD in loss

    Pringle caught both of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Eagles.

    Pringle's 35-yard touchdown with 2:43 left in the fourth quarter accounted for the vast majority of his production. He has two touchdowns this season and has yet to catch more than two passes in a game. Pringle will likely continue to see limited volume in Chicago's run-heavy offense against the Bills in Week 16.
