Grant caught one of three targets for 46 yards and a touchdown while returning three punts for 131 yards and another touchdown in Sunday's 45-30 loss to the Packers.

Grant provided the spark the Bears needed on the road to keep up with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' dominant offense. The unconventional fantasy line and low targets is a reminder that these sort of big games shouldn't be expected on a weekly basis from the veteran backup wideout. That being said, Grant has now produced 108 receiving yards and three total touchdowns over the last two weeks, so he could be worth snagging off waivers in the event he can keep the hot streak going against a porous Minnesota defense next Monday.

Lazard had six receptions (seven targets) for 75 yards and a touchdown while adding 14 more yards on one carry in a 45-30 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Lazard turned in his best fantasy performance of the season one game after posting a dud (13 yards on a 33 percent catch rate). The 25-year-old hasn't taken that next step to become a reliable fantasy option quite yet, but Sunday's showing proves that he has the ability to produce such lines. The seven targets marked a new season high, surpassing his previous high of six that he tallied last week. It could be worth snagging Lazard if he's sitting on waivers now that he appears to be fully healed from a shoulder injury. Next Sunday the Packers will take on the Ravens, who are currently the most generous defense in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing wideouts and are also without top corner Marlon Humphrey (shoulder) for the rest of the year.

McMath recorded one reception on two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Jaguars.

McMath was activated from injured reserve Saturday and was surprisingly active on gameday over Dez Fitzpatrick (coach's decision). As a result, he logged the first reception of his career in the third quarter. McMath figures to retain primarily a special teams role moving forward, though he could have a chance to step up should the Titans suffer further injuries among their receiving corps.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded three receptions on three targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Jaguars.

Westbrook-Ikhine lost some volume due to the return of Julio Jones, though he still finished second among the team's wide receivers in targets. Though he converted each for a catch, Westbrook-Ikhine largely worked in the short areas of the field, with his longest gain going for 15 yards. He may have the chance to produce in a Week 15 matchup at Pittsburgh, as the game is likely to be more competitive and A.J. Brown (chest) will also remain sidelined.

Adams (hamstring) hauled in 10 of 13 targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 45-30 win over the Bears.

Adams was dealing with a bum hamstring during practice this week, and he was quiet out of the gates in this one. The superstar wideout could be held back only for so long, as he and Aaron Rodgers dominated the Bears' defense from the second quarter onward. Adams has now produced three straight 100-plus yard games while scoring four touchdowns over that span. He will attempt to stretch that streak to four games against the Ravens in Week 15.

Treadwell recorded four receptions on six targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 20-0 loss to the Titans.

Treadwell continued to play a substantial role in the Jaguars' offense as he's now reached four receptions and topped 50 yards in three consecutive games. He did the majority of his damage on one catch Sunday, a 41-yard gain deep down the right sideline that nearly went for a score. Treadwell lacks upside due to the poor offensive environment in Jacksonville, but he has established himself as a key contributor to whatever success they may have.

Jones recorded five receptions on seven targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 48-9 loss to the Chiefs.

Jones finished second on the team with seven targets, behind only Hunter Renfrow. Despite converting a high rate of his targets into receptions, Jones was limited to only 3.6 yards per target to turn in a disappointing performance. Jones has now seen at least five targets in three consecutive games, though he's topped 50 yards only once in that span and has not found the end zone since Week 1.

Boyd caught four of five targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers. He also gained eight yards on his only carry.

The veteran slot receiver had another productive game, though he once again took a back seat to the duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Boyd has posted a 17-202-1 line on 22 targets over four games since the Bengals' bye, giving him a reasonably solid fantasy floor heading into a Week 15 tilt against the Broncos.

Chase caught five of eight targets for 77 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

The rookie was a key figure in forcing the game into OT. With the Bengals in a 20-6 hole to begin the fourth quarter, Chase got to work and hauled in TD strikes of 17 and 32 yards from Joe Burrow. It's the second two-touchdown performance of the season for Chase, who now has an amazing 10 TDs through his first 13 NFL games in addition to reaching the 1,000-yard mark. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 15 against the Broncos.

Higgins caught five of seven targets for 114 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

He led the Bengals in receiving yards while tying Ja'Marr Chase in catches, but it was Chase who was on the other end of both of Joe Burrow's TD passes. Higgins has reached triple-digit yardage in three straight games, posting a massive 20-366-2 line on 29 targets over that stretch, but he could have trouble making it four straight in a Week 15 clash with the Broncos.
