Cole caught one of six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 30-9 loss to New Orleans.

Cole got the start on the outside with both Corey Davis (groin) and Elijah Moore (quadriceps) sidelined, but he didn't do much with the opportunity. While he should maintain the starting role in Week 15 against the Dolphins, getting open won't be easy against star cornerback Xavien Howard.

Crowder caught three of six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 30-9 loss to the Saints.

Crowder didn't step up in the absence of Corey Davis (groin) and Elijah Moore (quadriceps), instead watching Braxton Berrios lead the team with six catches for 52 yards on 10 targets. The veteran slot receiver will look to bounce back in Week 15 against the Dolphins, whom he burned for 44 yards and a touchdown in Week 11.

Brown had five receptions (eight targets) for 41 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to Cleveland.

Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley took over for Lamar Jackson early in the contest after Baltimore's star and leader had to be carted off with an apparent ankle injury. Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman both eclipsed the century mark in receiving yards, but Brown was unable to break loose with either quarterback under center. The speedy wideout is in a bit of funk, averaging just 46 yards with no touchdowns over his last four contests. Hollywood is still on pace to break the 1,000-yard mark with 866 yards through 12 games this season.

Bateman caught seven of eight targets for 103 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Browns.

Lamar Jackson (ankle) went down early in this contest, so backup Tyler Huntley took over and produced well from the pocket. The change of styles under center resulted in the first-round wideout's best game of the season. Perhaps this outing can kickstart the talented rookie's campaign -- regardless of who is under center against the Packers next Sunday -- as he produced just 301 yards on 25 receptions with no touchdowns in his previous seven contests.

Berrios caught six of 10 targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 30-9 loss to New Orleans.

Berrios led the Jets in targets, catches and receiving yards, as he took on a more prominent role with Corey Davis (groin) and Elijah Moore (quadriceps) both sidelined. Davis is done for the season and Moore won't be back until Week 17 at the earliest, so Berrios should continue to serve as one of the top targets for scuffling rookie quarterback Zach Wilson in Week 15 against Miami.

Samuel (groin) caught neither of his two targets against Dallas on Sunday.

Samuel was an effective, versatile player in Carolina before the 2021 season, so his struggles with Washington are likely largely attributable to the groin injury he's been playing through. Naturally, that's no solace for fantasy managers. Nevertheless, Samuel may have a golden opportunity for more work in Week 15 if Terry McLaurin (concussion) is unable to play against the Eagles.

Humphries caught four passes for 34 yards on seven targets against Dallas on Sunday.

It's not the most exciting box score, but Humphries' seven targets were his second highest of the season, behind only the eight he saw against the Giants in Week 2. It's possible that Humphries' target rate remains elevated if Terry McLaurin (concussion) can't play against Philadelphia in Week 15.

Gage secured four of six targets for 64 yards in the Falcons' 29-21 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Gage's receiving yardage total paced the Falcons on the afternoon and served as his fourth straight useful fantasy performance. The veteran's numbers were nowhere near as spectacular as his Week 13 output of 11 receptions for 130 yards, but he's now logged at least six targets in four straight contests and at least 62 receiving yards in three consecutive. Gage's next opportunity to build on his encouraging run comes in Week 15 against the 49ers on the road.

Callaway caught two of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 30-9 win over the Jets.

Callaway hasn't reached 40 receiving yards in a game since Week 5, and he's seen exactly four targets in each of the last five games. He'll be a touchdown-dependent, boom-or-bust option against the Buccaneers in Week 15, having found the end zone six times this season despite the modest target volume.

Anderson brought in seven of 12 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 29-21 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

The veteran speedster finally had what could be considered a breakout game by his lowly 2021 standards, with both his reception and receiving yardage totals serving as season highs. Anderson also got into the end zone for the second time in the last four games when he recorded a five-yard touchdown grab from P.J. Walker with 3:11 remaining. Anderson's first opportunity to build on his momentum comes in a difficult Week 15 road matchup against the Bills.
