Mooney caught five passes on nine targets for 57 yards while adding a two-yard rush in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Mooney had fewer than 10 yards with a couple minutes left in the third quarter, but with the team mounting a late comeback, he had a productive finish to the game. Earlier in the contest, Nick Foles struggled to get the ball to his top receiver, underthrowing him on a couple occasions and simply not seeing him on other plays. With a fair chance of the Bears getting back Justin Fields or Andy Dalton in Week 17, Mooney will be in position to take advantage of a middling matchup against the Giants.

Moore (hamstring) secured five of 11 targets for 55 yards in the Panthers' 32-6 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Considering the quarterback duo of Sam Darnold and Cam Newton completed less than 50 percent of their throws, Moore's numbers were actually serviceable. The fourth-year wideout tied Robby Anderson for the team lead in receptions and paced Carolina in targets on the afternoon as well. Moore's upside is likely to be capped to an extent the rest of the way with both Darnold and Newton seemingly destined to struggle, but he remains a serviceable option heading into the final two weeks of the fantasy season.

Smith secured five of seven targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 34-10 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Smith paced the Eagles in receptions and receiving yardage, with his production in each category also serving as his best since Week 9. The rookie's four-yard scoring grab in the latter portion of the third quarter was also the subject of two replays, with the latter review confirming the score after the first one seemed to nullify it. Smith is likely to again play a prominent role in a key Week 17 road showdown against Washington.

Treadwell tallied four catches (on five targets) for 54 yards during Sunday's 26-21 road defeat to the Jets.

Treadwell has been handling an offensive snap share above 70 percent since a Week 11 loss to the 49ers, and Sunday's performance is roughly in line with his production since that time. Overall, he's put up a 23-305-0 line on 36 targets during that six-game stretch. If Laviska Shenault (illness) is able to get out of COVID-19 protocols in time for next Sunday's visit to New England, Treadwell will be vying with him, Marvin Jones and even Tavon Austin for looks from Trevor Lawrence.

Jones gathered in eight of 13 targets for 74 yards during Sunday's 26-21 road loss to the Jets.

Jones was on the receiving end of exactly one-third of Trevor Lawrence's 39 passes, but he wasn't very efficient with them. Still, the increased volume allowed Jones to rack up his most yardage since going for 100 back in Week 6 against the Dolphins. Assuming he falls back to the 5-to-6 targets per week he's managed since the Jaguars' Week 7 bye, Jones may be hard-pressed to do much next Sunday at New England.

Toney (oblique) secured four of nine targets for 28 yards and recovered a fumble in the Giants' 34-10 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

The rookie jumped back into action for the first time since Week 11 and was busy, pacing the team in receiving yards and targets while sharing the lead in receptions. However, all of those were rather empty accomplishments for Toney, considering the Giants mustered all of 108 passing yards on the afternoon. Toney has indisputable upside in his own right, but the prospect of playing out the final two regular-season games with Mike Glennon and Jake Fromm as his quarterbacks certainly dampens his short-term outlook.

Allen recorded four receptions on six targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 41-29 loss to the Texans.

For the second time in his last three games, Allen was held to less than 40 receiving yards. The six targets were his lowest in a game since Week 6 and snapped a seven-contest stretch during which he got at least eight looks in the passing game. Given his track record, Allen has a good chance to bounce back in Week 17 against Denver despite a relatively difficult matchup.

Raymond caught three of five targets for 12 yards while rushing once for five yards during Sunday's 20-16 loss to Atlanta.

Playing through a shoulder injury, Raymond remained the third wheel behind Amon-Ra St. Brown (11 targets) and Josh Reynolds (seven) in the passing game. Only St. Brown managed any meaningful production with backup QB Tim Boyle, who struggled to complete passes down the field. Even if Jared Goff (COVID-19) manages to return in Week 17 against Seattle, Raymond will remain an inadvisable fantasy option.

Jefferson recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 116 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Rams.

Even with Adam Thielen back in the mix, Jefferson managed to record double-digit targets for the fourth consecutive game. He recorded a number of big catches that went for gains of 34, 21, 16 and 16 yards to notch his sixth 100-yard performance of the season. The only thing missing from the effort was a touchdown, though Jefferson had found the end zone in each of the team's last three contests. Jefferson will enter the team's Week 17 matchup against Green Bay only four receptions short of the century mark.

Reynolds caught two of seven targets for 36 yards during Sunday's 20-16 loss to Atlanta.

Reynolds caught 13 of 18 targets over the past three games with Jared Goff (COVID-19) under center, but the chemistry wasn't there with backup QB Tim Boyle under center. Instead, Amon-Ra St. Brown kept rolling in an underneath slot role that has earned him 11 targets in each of the past four weeks. While Reynolds should remain Detroit's top downfield threat down the stretch, expectations for his production should be dampened if Goff is unable to return in Week 17 against Seattle.
