  • Raiders' Bryan Edwards: Posts another dud

    Edwards was not targeted in Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Colts.

    Edwards logged 20 offensive snaps for just the second time since the Raiders' Week 6 bye as the Colts grew a large lead in the second half, but the rookie failed to translate his playing time into production. He's gone since Week 3 without a multi-reception effort, and that trend may continue this week on Thursday Night Football against the Chargers.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Fumbles in loss to Colts

    Renfrow caught five passes for 38 yards on seven targets and returned one punt for 11 yards in Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Colts. He also lost a fumble.

    Renfrow's costly fumble came with the Raiders already down two scores in the fourth quarter, ultimately clinching a victory for the Colts. Nonetheless, Renfrow has been dealt six or more targets in three consecutive contests, averaging 5.3 catches per game during this stretch. He'll look to stay busy on Thursday Night Football this week against the Chargers.

  • DeVante Parker WR | PHI

    Dolphins' DeVante Parker: Tending to strained hamstring

    Parker suffered a slight hamstring strain during the Dolphins' Week 14 loss to the Chiefs, and his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots is to be determined, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Parker was forced out of this past Sunday's contest with what was termed a leg injury, and while he was deemed questionable to return, he was unable to get back on the field. He thus was blanked on his two targets, marking just the second time this season he's failed to reach 30 receiving yards in a game. Miami reconvenes for practice Wednesday, at which point the team will set the stage for his initial Week 15 status.

  • Brandon Powell WR | MIN

    Falcons' Brandon Powell: Tears off long return

    Powell corralled his only target for a nine-yard gain, adding one kick-return attempt for 22 yards and three punt returns for 40 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Chargers.

    Powell's 20-yard punt return at the 9:07 mark of the fourth quarter situated Atlanta near midfield with a chance to take the lead, however, Matt Ryan committed the first of a pair of late-game interceptions 11 plays later. The Florida product will likely continue to carry a peripheral offensive role for weeks when the receiving corps is depleted by injury. Most of his value, however, resides on special teams where he's averaging a respectable 9.3 yards per attempt on punt returns this season.

  • Falcons' Laquon Treadwell: Tallies first TD with new team

    Treadwell hauled in his lone target for a nine-yard touchdown during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Chargers.

    With Treadwell having resided on Atlanta's practice squad for most of the campaign, Week 14 marked just the second time all season he's been active for a game. The 2016 first-round draft choice was afforded extra opportunity with Julio Jones (hamstring) sitting out his fourth contest of 2020 and Olamide Zaccheaus (toe) residing on IR. Looking ahead to a Week 15 matchup against Tampa Bay, Treadwell's workload is liable to remain sparse unless there are injuries above him on the WR depth chart.

  • Browns' Donovan Peoples-Jones: Steps in as No. 3 WR

    Peoples-Jones caught three of five targets for 74 yards in Monday's 47-42 loss to the Ravens.

    The rookie out of Michigan showed off his big-play ability for the second straight week by catching a 37-yard pass, and he has 166 receiving yards the last two weeks as a fill-in for No. 3 wideout KhaDarel Hodge (hamstring). For the season, Peoples-Jones is averaging 23.8 yards per reception.

  • Greg Ward WR | IND

    Eagles' Greg Ward: Targeted five times in victory

    Ward caught two of his five targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over New Orleans.

    Ward continues to see healthy target totals. He has at least three in all but one game this season, and at least five in all but four outings. He hasn't converted the opportunities into yardage however, as he has topped 45 yards just twice all year, and the Eagles' change at quarterback to Jalen Hurts didn't spark Ward to break that pattern.

  • Marquise Brown WR | PHI

    Ravens' Marquise Brown: Overcomes drops to score TD

    Brown caught two of six targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 47-42 win over the Browns.

    Brown was plagued by multiple drops over the course of Monday's contest, but he came up big when it mattered most. Facing fourth-and-five while down a touchdown with under two minutes remaining, Brown ran deep for a dramatic 44-yard score to save his night and Baltimore's hopes of victory. In doing so, Brown also found the end zone for the third straight game, giving him considerable momentum ahead of a tasty matchup against the hapless Jaguars in Week 15.

  • Alex Erickson WR | HOU

    Bengals' Alex Erickson: Loses key fumble

    Erickson caught one pass for nine yards and lost a fumble on a rushing attempt in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys.

    Erickson's fumble was one of three lost by the Bengals, and it ultimately led to a touchdown drive that increased the Cowboys' lead to 17-0. The veteran wideout has yet to see more than three targets or two touches in a game this season, instead seeing most of his action as a punt returner.

  • Tyler Boyd WR | TEN

    Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Relatively quiet game

    Boyd had five catches for 43 yards on nine targets in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys.

    At least this result was better than two weeks ago against the Giants, but the drop in quality in quarterbacks from Joe Burrow to Brandon Allen or Ryan Finley has been devastating for the Bengals' top wideouts. It's not likely to get much better in Week 15 against the Steelers.
