Sims caught three of four targets for 69 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Terry McLaurin (concussion) only played 33 offensive snaps, which opened the door for Sims to notch season-highs in both receptions and yards. The majority of the 6-foot-5 wideout's production came on a spectacular, 43-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter. Despite Sims' big play, Adam Humphries appeared to be the more consistent go-to guy with McLaurin out, as he led the team in both targets (seven) and receptions (four). If McLaurin is sidelined in Week 15, Sims, Humphries and DeAndre Carter are all candidates for increased snaps against the Eagles on Sunday.

Carter caught two of his five targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Cowboys.

After a four-game stretch that saw Carter catch 12 of 20 targets for 171 yards and three touchdowns, the speedy wideout has only caught three passes for 18 yards over his last two games. The good news is that Carter saw five targets Sunday, his fifth game with at least five targets this season. However, the overall production wasn't there, as Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen both struggled to complete passes against Dallas' improved secondary. With Terry McLaurin in concussion protocols, Carter may be operating as the No. 1 wideout against the Eagles in Week 15.

Winfree was signed to the Packers' active roster Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Winfree has appeared in three games for the Packers this season, recording four catches on six targets for 30 yards, all of which occurred in a Week 8 win over the Cardinals. With Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) and Malik Taylor (abdomen) both uncertain for Sunday against the Ravens, Winfree should help provide depth in the Packers' wide receiver ranks.

Patrick secured two of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.

Patrick has done little over the past four games in the Broncos underwhelming passing attack, averaging two catches and roughly 17 yards over that stretch. It will be very difficult to rely on him in the fantasy playoffs, even in deep leagues, as the Denver passing offense continues to underwhelm. Patrick and the Broncos get a matchup against the Bengals in Week 15.

Sutton caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.

Anyone hoping for a bounce-back performance from Sutton in a favorable matchup against the Lions will be forced to wait another week. The wideout's one-catch performance Sunday was his latest in a string of disappointing fantasy days. In fact, since Jerry Jeudy's return in Week 8, Sutton is averaging roughly 19 receiving yards per game and has failed to have more than two catches in any of the last six contests. The 26-year-old is proving to be extremely hard to trust with the fantasy playoffs ahead. Sutton's next three matchups against the Bengals, Raiders and Chargers make for a tough schedule down the stretch, so fantasy managers may want to look elsewhere.

Guyton caught all three of his targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in a 37-21 win over the Giants on Sunday.

After a disappointing start to the season in which the wideout did not record a touchdown through 12 weeks, Guyton has had back-to-back strong games with at least 87-plus yards and a touchdown. The 24-year-old has shined as the Chargers' deep-threat option, catching a 59-yard touchdown pass and a 44-yard touchdown pass over the past two weeks. The wideout's deep-ball ability has opened up a lot of offensive production underneath as defenses have now started to worry about the long pass. In the absence of star wide receiver Keenan Allen (COVID-19), Guyton, along with rookie Joshua Palmer, have stepped up to keep Los Angeles' high-powered offense going.

Slayton failed to haul in any of his three targets Sunday against the Chargers.

Slayton is one of several receivers vying for scraps in a terrible Giants passing offense. It's been a lost year for him.

Davis caught five of eight targets for 43 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's overtime loss to the Buccaneers.

That makes back-to-back weeks with scores for the second-year wideout, who could see a boost in his role if veteran Emmanuel Sanders (knee) is held out of action in Week 15. Davis only has one 100-yard game his season, but he's found the end zone four times after doing so seven times as a rookie. The Bills have a few plays they like to dial up where they look Davis' way in the red zone.

Jefferson caught two of three targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 30-23 win over the Cardinals.

Jefferson, whose father serves as Arizona's wide receivers coach, made his presence felt with a 52-yard touchdown on play action to begin the third quarter. That grab extended his scoring streak to three games, matching that of teammate Odell Beckham. The duo has helped fill the void left by Robert Woods (knee). While Beckham's role within the offense continues to grow, as he finished with six catches for 77 yards and a touchdown Monday, Jefferson will nonetheless strive to keep his momentum going in Week 15 versus the Seahawks.

Kirk caught three of six targets for 86 yards in Monday night's 30-23 loss to the Rams.

Kirk's performance was fueled by a long catch in each half. In the second quarter, he hauled in a 41-yard dime from Kyler Murray, then Kirk was the recipient of a 47-yarder in the fourth. Those big plays enabled the wideout to accumulate his third-most receiving yards in a game this season, helping Kirk rebound after posting merely one catch for four yards in Week 13.
