  • Davion Davis WR | WAS

    Texans' Davion Davis: Starts in Houston debut

    Davis started at slot receiver and did not catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 31-0 loss to Indianapolis.

    Davis had not dressed for any games since Houston signed him off the Browns' practice squad in early October, but he was the primary beneficiary of slot receiver Danny Amendola landing on injured reserve with a knee injury. Davis played 20 snaps, seven more than Chris Moore, who had filled in earlier this season when Amendola was unavailable. Amendola is expected to miss at least another three weeks, so Davis should have more opportunities to prove he warrants consideration for next year's roster.

  • Chris Moore WR | BAL

    Texans' Chris Moore: Gets no bump without Amendola

    Moore played 13 of 52 snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Colts.

    Danny Amendola (knee) was inactive Sunday, but that did not translate into an increase in playing time for Moore, who filled in for Amendola earlier this season when the slot receiver was injured. Instead, Moore watched Davion Davis enter the starting lineup in the slot. Davis was targeted twice (no catches) on 20 snaps. With Amendola expected to miss another three weeks at a minimum, there should be opportunities for both Moore and Davis, but Houston's passing attack doesn't offer much hope for fantasy managers.

  • Chris Conley WR | SF

    Texans' Chris Conley: Shut out in loss

    Conley did not catch any of his four targets in Sunday's 31-0 loss to Indianapolis.

    Conley failed to make a catch for the second consecutive week and for the fifth time in 12 contests overall. He played 30 of 52 snaps (58 percent), which is about his season average (60 percent), so he did not receive a bump in playing time with Danny Amendola (knee) sidelined. That should be expected considering Amendola is a slot receiver while Conley plays mostly on the outside.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Leads team in receiving

    Jeudy had four receptions on six targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    Jeudy was the lone Denver wideout to generate any sort of separation against the Chiefs' secondary, finishing with the team lead in receiving production. The 2020 first-round pick has slowly become Teddy Bridgewater's favorite target since being activated from injured reserve back in Week 8. Jeudy is averaging four receptions and 45 yards in the four games since returning, giving him a decent base as a deep-league option heading into a matchup against the Lions next Sunday.

  • Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Scores first NFL touchdown

    Eskridge caught all three of his targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers.

    The rookie saw the same target volume as Freddie Swain, his competition for the No. 3 wideout role, but Eskridge made a bigger impact by catching a seven-yard TD toss from Russell Wilson late in the third quarter. It was the first touchdown of Eskridge's career, and he could be earning Wilson's trust heading into a Week 14 tilt against the Texans.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Five grabs against Niners

    Metcalf caught five of eight targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers.

    He tied Tyler Lockett for the team lead in targets, but Metcalf didn't do as much with the volume as his teammate. It was still his best performance in four games since Seattle's bye, and with Russell Wilson also showing signs of rounding back into form, Metcalf could be primed for a breakout in Week 14 against the Texans.

  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Hauls in TD in win

    Lockett caught seven of eight targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers.

    The speedster was once again Russell Wilson's favorite option, leading the Seahawks in catches and receiving yards and capping his day with the game-winning score, a 12-yard fade to the back corner of the end zone from Wilson late in the fourth quarter. Lockett's TD was his first since Week 2, but his touchdowns have tended to come in bunches throughout his career, making him a high-upside play in Week 14 against the Texans.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Low usage in win

    Hill had two receptions (five targets) for 22 yards in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Broncos.

    Hill posted a rare dud in a matchup that the Chiefs dominated with their defense. Travis Kelce (three receptions for 27 yards) was also held in check, providing a rare instance in which both of Kansas City's superstar pass-catchers were non-factors. Perhaps the Chiefs' receiving duo will get back on track next Sunday against the Raiders, whose defensive personnel are far less likely to hold both players down.

  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Only three catches Sunday

    Aiyuk caught three of six targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    While he posted decent numbers, Aiyuk wasn't able to take advantage of the absence of Deebo Samuel (groin) to have a breakout, as instead George Kittle was the one who put together a monster performance. Aiyuk has compiled a 29-391-2 line on 38 targets over the last six games, giving him a fairly solid floor heading into a Week 14 tilt against the Bengals.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Raiders' Zay Jones: Three catches against Washington

    Jones caught three of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 17-15 loss to Washington.

    He and Bryan Edwards put up nearly identical numbers, but both took a back seat to another 100-yard performance by Hunter Renfrow. Jones has seen an uptick in volume the last two weeks, posting an 8-80-0 line on 12 targets as the Raiders scramble to plug the holes in their passing game, and his new role gives him some modest upside in Week 14 against Kansas City.
