Sims brought in five of eight targets for 26 yards in Washington's 20-15 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Sims was unable to break free for any big gains, with his longest catch of the afternoon going for just 10 yards. The 24-year-old speedster has flashed in a couple of games this season with 92- and 110-yard efforts, but he's also been under 30 receiving yards in four of the last five contests alone, including a complete blanking over 55 snaps Week 10 against the Cowboys. Sims will continue as a boom-or-bust option in a Week 16 matchup against the Panthers.

Conley caught one of three targets for a 13-yard touchdown during Sunday's 40-14 loss at Baltimore.

Conley secured his second touchdown of the season in the final minutes of the fourth quarter as he continues to play a minor role in Jacksonville's aerial attack. The 28-year-old could see that role grow slightly if No. 4 wideout Collin Johnson (hamstring) is forced to miss time.

Shenault caught five of six targets for 43 yards and rushed twice for one yard during Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Ravens.

The rookie second-round pick saw a season-high 11 targets last week, but those numbers came back down to earth in Sunday's blowout loss. Shenault has 17 receptions for 161 yards with four carries for 38 yards and one total touchdown in his past four games.

McLaurin brought in seven of 12 targets for 77 yards in Washington's 20-15 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

McLaurin checked in second to Logan Thomas in targets on the afternoon, but he was the subject of plenty of Dwayne Haskins' attention in the latter's return to the starting quarterback job. McLaurin's yardage total was also behind only that of Thomas', and the elevated production was a welcome sight for fantasy managers after the second-year wideout had produced a paltry 4-38-0 line over the previous pair of contests. McLaurin will look to continue his upward trajectory -- whether it's Haskins or Alex Smith (calf) under center -- in a Week 16 matchup against the Panthers.

Godwin secured four of five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 31-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also committed a fumble, but it was recovered by the Bucs.

Godwin took a back seat to fellow wideouts Mike Evans and Antonio Brown in the passing game hierarchy, with the duo seeing a combined 14 targets and parlaying them into an 11-203-1 line. Godwin's production was meager by comparison, but his four-yard touchdown grab late in the third quarter boosted his day from a fantasy perspective. The fourth-year pro has just 61 total yards over his last two games, so he'll look to up his numbers at the expense of the vulnerable Lions secondary in a Saturday afternoon matchup.

Jones corralled 10 of 12 targets for 112 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 46-25 loss to the Titans.

Jones has proven himself as a high-floor fantasy asset with Kenny Golladay (hip) sidelined, but during Week 15, the 30-year-old established his second-highest receiving output of the 2020 campaign. An opening-drive TD catch gave Jones his seventh of the season, pulling him to within three of a career high (10) heading into a Week 16 home game against the Buccaneers. Atlanta's top receiver, Calvin Ridley, exploded for 10 catches, 163 yards and a score against Tampa Bay on Sunday.

James (ankle) caught four of seven targets for 56 yards and lost a fumble during Sunday's 41-33 loss to the Cowboys.

James lost an early fumble on a punt return that resulted in a Dallas touchdown, but he bounced back to finish third on the team in receiving yardage as he recorded his best output since exploding onto the scene in his first appearance. He appeared to tweak his ankle later in the game and was not on the field for the final drive. It's certainly possible James' injury is nothing serious, but if he's suffering any ill effects next Saturday, the 5-9 49ers could elect to hold him out of their tilt against the Cardinals as a precaution.

Lockett caught four of seven targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 20-15 win over Washington.

The Seahawks' strategy was clear early in the game -- they wanted to avoid Washington's pass rush. In turn, Lockett was targeted on short passes six times in the first 20 minutes of the game, and he caught four of those throws for 34 yards. The sixth-year wideout was only targeted one more time all game, failing to haul in that look. Since ringing up seven touchdowns over the first six games, Lockett has produced just one score over eight contests, and he hasn't surpassed the 67-yard threshold in that stretch. He'll look to get back into the end zone in a home matchup against the Rams next week.

Gallup sustained a strained right hip during Sunday's 41-33 win over the 49ers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Prior to his departure later in the game, Gallup had three receptions (on five targets) for 26 yards and one touchdown. While clarity regarding his status likely will arrive at some point in the coming days, the Cowboys still have Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb, backed up by Noah Brown, Cedrick Wilson and Malik Turner, at wide receiver if Gallup misses time.

Aiyuk caught nine of 13 targets for 73 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 41-33 loss to the Cowboys.

Aiyuk once again led the team in targets and receptions as he surpassed 70 receiving yards for the sixth consecutive game. He also scored his fourth touchdown in the last five outings with a short score off a touch pass in the second quarter. The dynamic rookie continues to produce excellent numbers despite subpar quarterback play and now has 773 receiving yards to go along with seven total touchdowns. Aiyuk will look to add to his totals in next Saturday's divisional matchup with the Cardinals.
