  • Cardinals' DeAndre Hopkins: Grabs fifth TD of season

    Hopkins caught eight of 13 targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-28 loss to the Rams.

    The Cards' No. 1 wideout again faced tough coverage -- this time from Jalen Ramsey -- but he still grabbed a four-yard TD late in the third quarter, his fifth score of the season. Hopkins also hauled in enough yardage to reach his sixth career 1,000-yard campaign. His run of difficult matchups continues in Week 14 against James Bradberry and a Giants defense that just stifled Russell Wilson in an upset win.

  • Keenan Allen WR | SF

    Chargers' Keenan Allen: Held in check vs. Patriots

    Allen caught five of 11 targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 45-0 loss so the Patriots.

    Allen, who received plenty of attention from the talented New England secondary, did next to nothing aside from his long gain of 24 yards. He had touchdowns in five straight games heading into this one but saw his streak end as the Chargers were surprisingly shut out for the first time since the 2014 season. While Allen has now been held under 50 yards for three consecutive games, each of those matchups has been quite difficult on an individual level. He should have a chance to break out next Sunday against the subpar Falcons secondary.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Rams' Cooper Kupp: Eight grabs in Sunday's win

    Kupp caught eight of nine targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 38-28 win over the Cardinals.

    While Robert Woods paced the Rams in receptions, targets and yards, Kupp wasn't far behind him in production as he bounced back from a quiet performance against the Niners. Kupp may have trouble making an impact in Week 14 against a surging Patriots defense that just shut out the Chargers.

  • Robert Woods WR | PIT

    Rams' Robert Woods: Big volume in win

    Woods caught 10 of 11 targets for 85 yards in Sunday's 38-28 win over the Cardinals.

    He was Jared Goff's favorite receiver on the afternoon, leading the Rams in receptions, targets and yards. Woods has seen double-digit targets in three straight games, posting a 29-295-1 line over that stretch, but he's unlikely to see the same volume in Week 14 against a surging Patriots defense that just shut out the Chargers.

  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Commands nine targets

    Lockett recorded six receptions on nine targets for 63 yards in Week 13 against the Giants.

    Lockett got off a quick start by logging 30 yards on two receptions during the Seahawks' opening drive. He was forced from the game on the following possession and evaluated for a concussion, though he was ultimately cleared to return and missed minimal game action. However, he made little impact in the contest until midway through the fourth quarter, when he hauled in a 21-yard reception over the middle of the field, ultimately setting up a touchdown. Lockett and the rest of the Seahawks offense should be in line for a big Week 14 performance against the Jets.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Can't repeat heroics

    Metcalf recorded five receptions on eight targets for 80 yards in Week 13's loss to the Giants.

    Metcalf led the team in receiving yards, though he was unable to replicate his massive Week 12 performance in a tough matchup against James Bradberry. Even so, he supplied some of the Seahawks' most explosive offensive gains, including receptions of 21, 18 and 15 yards. He also delivered his obligatory highlight reel play of the game when he stiff-armed Bradberry to the turf for a 14-yard gain midway through the third quarter. Metcalf could be in line for a huge Week 14 performance against the hapless Jets.

  • Quintez Cephus WR | HOU

    Lions' Quintez Cephus: Collects first career TD

    Cephus hauled in two of four targets for 63 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 34-30 win against the Bears.

    The rookie from Wisconsin snuck by 2018 All-Pro Kyle Fuller for his first career NFL touchdown, laying out at the pylon to secure a 49-yard strike from Matthew Stafford. Though Cephus has just two outings of more than 50 receiving yards over nine appearances this season, it's notable that four targets against the Bears counted for his most in a game since the season opener against Chicago. He may continue to hold a role in the offense Week 14 against the Packers' 15th-ranked defense, especially if Kenny Golladay (hip) is forced to miss a sixth straight game.

  • Tre'Quan Smith WR | DET

    Saints' Tre'Quan Smith: Notches TD in win over Falcons

    Smith secured three of six targets for 42 receiving yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 21-16 win against Atlanta. He added one rush attempt for three yards.

    Smith secured Taysom Hill's first career NFL touchdown pass at the 7:01 mark of the first quarter, finding a hole in the Falcons' defense for the uncontested score. He enjoyed a huge spike in involvement, garnering seven targets after attracting just four combined pass attempts between Weeks 9 and 12. The Central Florida product is one score away from opening his career with three straight five-TD campaigns. The Saints will next prepare for a Week 14 road trip to Philadelphia.

  • Jets' Braxton Berrios: Two catches in latest loss

    Berrios caught both of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Raiders.

    Berrios hasn't found the end zone since Week 2 while surpassing two catches only twice since that point. He's an afterthought in the Jets' unimpressive passing attack with the team's receiving corps healthy.

  • Russell Gage WR | SF

    Falcons' Russell Gage: Secures team's lone receiving TD

    Gage hauled in four of eight targets for 51 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 21-16 loss to New Orleans.

    Julio Jones' return to the lineup from a hamstring injury did not deplete Gage's role, as the third-year man logged more targets, receptions and receiving yards than he did Week 12 against the Raiders while Jones was inactive. Gage also secured his first receiving TD since Week 2, bringing an end to the 24-year-old's nine-game scoring drought. With eight-plus targets in two of his past three outings, he remains the third WR option for the Falcons heading into a Week 14 matchup at the Chargers.
