  • Falcons' Olamide Zaccheaus: Held without a target Week 14

    Zaccheaus wasn't targeted during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Panthers.

    Zaccheaus played 29 offensive snaps but didn't record a target for the first time since Week 1. Matt Ryan's reliance on his tight ends and running backs continues to lead to mediocre numbers for all of his wideouts except for Russell Gage. As long as Calvin Ridley (personal) remains away from the team, Zaccheaus will likely garner plenty of opportunities, but he hasn't proven to be a consistent fantasy option at any point this season.

  • Jaguars' Laviska Shenault: Subpar production continues

    Shenault caught four of seven targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 20-0 loss to the Titans.

    Shenault tied for the team lead in targets but once again failed to provide significant production. The 2020 second-round pick has averaged 3.7 receptions for 28.4 yards in seven games since Jacksonville's Week 7 bye, and he's still looking for his first touchdown of the season.

  • Cowboys' Cedrick Wilson: Two catches Sunday

    Wilson caught both his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over Washington.

    With the Cowboys' top three wideouts (Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup) all healthy, there weren't many looks left over for Wilson. Wilson's fantasy value will remain minimal heading into a Week 15 clash with the Giants.

  • Easop Winston WR | NYJ

    Saints' Easop Winston: First catch of season

    Winston caught one pass for five yards during Sunday's 30-9 win over the Jets.

    Winston logged seven offensive snaps in the absence of Deonte Harris (suspension) and Lil'Jordan Humphrey (hamstring), but not even the Saints starting wide receivers are worthy of much fantasy consideration at this point.

  • Tre'Quan Smith WR | DET

    Saints' Tre'Quan Smith: Three catches against Jets

    Smith secured three of three targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 30-9 win over the Jets.

    Smith saw a normal level of playing time but still matched his season low in targets. With Taysom Hill playing through a hand injury, production may be boom or bust for Smith down the stretch as the offense revolves around rushing abilities of Hill and Alvin Kamara.

  • Terry McLaurin WR | WAS

    Football Team's Terry McLaurin: Enters concussion protocol

    Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that McLaurin has entered the concussion protocol, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    McLaurin was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Cowboys after he sustained a concussion in the third quarter, and he'll have several steps to clear if he hopes to play against the Eagles on Sunday. If he isn't cleared to play, DeAndre Carter, Adam Humphries and Curtis Samuel should see additional work.

  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Panthers' DJ Moore: Begins week day-to-day

    Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said Monday that Moore (hamstring) is day-to-day after pulling his hamstring in Sunday's loss to the Falcons, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Moore played 89 percent of the Panthers' offensive snaps in the contest, catching six of 10 targets for 84 yards. Before departing late Sunday, Moore attempted to talk his way into returning to the contest, so he would seem to have a fair shot at being cleared to play Week 15 in Buffalo so long as he can practice in some capacity leading up to the contest. That said, Moore could face some difficulty establishing a rhythm with his quarterback even if healthy, as Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site relays that Cam Newton and P.J. Walker are expected to split reps under center.

  • Packers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Catches three passes

    Valdes-Scantling was targeted five times and caught three passes for 20 yards in Sunday's 45-30 victory over the Bears.

    Valdes-Scantling caught at least three passes for the third game in a row, but he also took a clear back seat to both Davante Adams and Allen Lazard in Week 14. Valdes-Scantling has been plenty busy of late, racking up 24 targets over his last three games and playing at least two-thirds of the snaps in each contest, but he also caught just 11 passes during that span, and 75 of the 193 yards he tallied came on one play. He'll take on a depleted Ravens secondary Week 15, but he presumably will be a boom-or-bust option in fantasy lineups.

  • Davion Davis WR | WAS

    Texans' Davion Davis: Ruled out for season

    Davis has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a fractured lower left leg, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Davis went down with an ankle injury in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and will be unavailable for the final four games of the season. The 25-year-old appeared in just two games during the 2021 campaign and hauled in one of three targets for 17 yards.

  • Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Not targeted Sunday

    Marshall was not targeted in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Falcons.

    Marshall returned to the lineup after being a healthy scratch in Carolina's last game. Although he played almost half of the team's offensive snaps, Marshall didn't get any looks his way in the passing game and veteran Brandon Zylstra again outperformed him, finishing with four catches for 45 yards while playing a few more snaps. Without a catch since Week 6, Marshall has run into a substantial rookie wall that has seen Zylstra surpass him in the pecking order.
