Aiyuk caught six of 11 targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Bengals.

He also gained four yards on his only carry. With Elijah Mitchell (concussion) sidelined and Deebo Samuel seeing most of his work out of the backfield again, Aiyuk was the Niners' top wideout, and he wound up scoring the winning TD on a 12-yard catch-and-run in overtime. The second-year player has topped 50 receiving yards in four straight games, posting a 19-293-2 line on 30 targets over that stretch, and he figures to have a prominent role again in Week 15 against the Falcons.

Samuel carried the ball eight times for 37 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for 22 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Bengals.

Making his return from a one-game absence due to a groin injury, Samuel saw most of his work out of the backfield with Elijah Mitchell (concussion) unavailable. That's been the story for the third-year wideout in recent weeks -- Samuel hasn't seen more than five targets in any of his last four games or caught more than one pass in any of his last three, but he's more than made up for it with 218 rushing yards and five rushing TDs over those four games. Samuel's role in Week 15 against the Falcons will depend on Mitchell's health, but the former figures to be a big part of the game plan no matter how he's deployed.

Taylor is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears due to an abdominal injury.

Taylor wasn't targeted to begin Sunday's matchup, but he was banged up early in the second half. He also dealt with an abdominal issue in November that forced him to miss one game. Amari Rodgers will likely serve as Green Bay's kick returner if Taylor is unable to return.

St. Brown (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bears.

St. Brown's evaluation revealed a concussion, ruling him out for the remainder of the contest. He'll need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to be eligible to suit up in Week 15 against the Ravens.

Jeudy caught five of six targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.

He led all Denver wideouts in catches, targets and yards, but tight ends Noah Fant and Albert Okwuegbunam posted similar numbers to Jeudy as the team had little reason to stretch the field in the rout. The second-year receiver is still looking for his first TD of the year, but he has hauled in multiple passes in six straight games since returning from an ankle injury, giving him a reasonably secure fantasy floor heading into a Week 15 tilt against the Bengals.

St. Brown is being evaluated for a concussion Sunday against the Bears.

If St. Brown tests negative for a concussion, he may be able to return to the game, but his return should be viewed as questionable at this point. He wasn't targeted before being injured but made one tackle.

Smith failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 30-9 loss to the Saints.

Smith failed to make a mark on the contest after being elevated from the practice squad for his season debut. Fellow practice squad elevation D.J. Montgomery was much more active, catching three of six targets for 36 yards. The injury-riddled Jets may elevate both receivers again in Week 15 against the Dolphins, but Montgomery will likely get first crack over Smith if they choose only one.

Raymond caught four of five targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Broncos.

He provided Detroit's lone highlight of the day, catching a seven-yard score in the second quarter. Raymond hadn't gotten into the end zone since Week 4 and hasn't reached 40 yards in a game since Week 7, giving him little fantasy appeal heading into a Week 15 clash with the Cardinals.

Reynolds caught three of five targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Broncos.

While he didn't see a lot of volume, Reynolds was able to make a bit of an impact as a downfield option for Jared Goff. The wideout has topped 50 yards in three straight games, posting a 10-191-1 line on 17 targets over that stretch and giving him some deep-league fantasy appeal heading into a Week 15 clash with the Cardinals.

St. Brown caught eight of 12 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Broncos.

He led all players in catches, receiving yards and targets on the day, as the rookie continues to emerge as Jared Goff's top option. St. Brown has an 18-159-1 line on 24 targets over the last two games, and he could be busy again in Week 15 if the Lions fall into another big hole against the Cardinals.
