Beasley brought in nine of 11 targets for 64 yards in the Bills' 33-27 overtime loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Beasley's catch total led the Bills and was an especially welcome sight after the reliable veteran was held to one catch against the Patriots in the Week 13 Monday night loss. Beasley's yardage total was also his best since Week 8, as the 32-year-old hadn't eclipsed 46 receiving yards since that season-best 110-yard showing against the Dolphins until Sunday. Beasley will look to deliver another timely effort for managers in their fantasy postseason contests during a Week 15 home battle versus the Panthers. It's also worth noting that teammate Emmanuel Sanders left Sunday's game early with a knee injury, which slightly opened things up for other players. Beasley managers will want to keep an eye on Sanders' health this week.

Godwin brought in 10 of 15 targets for 105 yards in the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills on Sunday.

Godwin's reception, receiving yardage and target totals led the Buccaneers on the afternoon, and he now has consecutive double-digit reception tallies after not accomplishing the feat in the first 11 games of the campaign. The Penn State product has a whopping 32 targets in the last pair of contests, a level of volume that's seemingly unsustainable over the long term but that could persist in a Week 15 Sunday night matchup against a Saints team that funnels plenty of action toward the air due to its elite run defense.

Evans secured all six targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills on Sunday.

Evans checked in second behind Chris Godwin in receptions and receiving yards on a highly efficient afternoon. The veteran wideout's 13-yard scoring grab midway through the second quarter was his first since Week 11 and pushed his season tally to 11, just two short of the career high he established in 2020. Evans' next opportunity to add to that tally comes in a Week 15 Sunday night clash against a Saints defense that's often given him trouble.

Jones recorded six receptions on seven targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 20-0 loss to the Titans.

Jones tied for the team lead with seven targets, as Trevor Lawrence took to the air 40 times. He accounted for the majority of his production on a few big plays, highlighted by gains of 31 and 14 yards. It was the first time that Jones surpassed five receptions since Week 6 and only the third time that he's topped 50 receiving yards in that span. Jones could be in a spot for another productive effort in Week 15 against the Texans, as he put together a five-reception, 77-yard, one-touchdown effort against them in Week 1.

Diggs secured seven of 13 targets for 74 yards in the Bills' 33-27 overtime loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Diggs' yardage total paced the Bills on a busy day for the passing game, during which Josh Allen put the ball up 54 times overall. The multi-time Pro Bowler's target total also led the team and tied for a season high. Despite the solid production, Diggs has now fallen short of the 100-yard mark in four straight games and eight of his last nine contests overal. Fantasy managers counting on him in their upcoming postseason contests will hope for a much-needed breakout effort in Week 15 at home against the Panthers.

Shepard caught two passes for 27 yards on four targets against the Chargers on Sunday.

Shepard couldn't get much going in his first game since Week 8, but it's probably less a reflection of Shepard's play and more a credit to the Chargers pass defense. That Mike Glennon was in at quarterback instead of Daniel Jones (neck) didn't help matters, either. Shepard should be in a good spot to build on these numbers when he faces Dallas in Week 15, especially if Jones can return by then.

Coach Brandon Staley expects Allen (illness) to clear COVID-19 protocols in time to play Thursday against the Chiefs, Gilbert Manzano of the Orange County Register reports.

Allen will need to be removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list in order to suit up, but Staley's optimistic that will happen barring any setbacks. Quarterback Justin Herbert didn't have any trouble carving up the Giants secondary in Allen's absence Sunday, tossing touchdowns to Jalen Guyton, Josh Palmer and Jared Cook en route to a 37-21 win.

Palmer caught five passes for 66 yards and one touchdown on seven targets against the Giants on Sunday.

Palmer led the Chargers with seven targets against the Giants, stepping up in place of usual lead target Keenan Allen, who was out due to COVID protocols. Palmer appeared to be Allen's main backup throughout the year, and this game both confirms that status and Palmer's readiness to step up in instances during which Allen is out. Palmer will likely revert to the WR4 role once Allen returns to the field, and Allen is expected to play against the Chiefs in Week 15.

Williams caught six passes for 61 yards on six targets against the Giants on Sunday.

Williams' fantasy investors might be disappointed to see each of Jalen Guyton, Josh Palmer and Jared Cook catch a touchdown pass in this game, leaving Williams with just one touchdown in his last eight appearances, but Williams did well for himself considering he saw the most of top Giants corner James Bradberry. Williams is a candidate to see targets early and often as the Chargers face the Chiefs for a high-stakes rematch in Week 15.

Goodwin (foot) is listed as inactive Sunday at Green Bay.

Since injuring his foot on Thanksgiving Day in Detroit, Goodwin has logged only one limited practice and now will sit out for a second straight contest. With the nine-year pro sidelined, the Bears will roll with Allen Robinson, Darnell Mooney, Damiere Byrd and Jakeem Grant at wide receiver.
