Beckham caught eight of 13 targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Cardinals.

Beckham led the Browns in all major receiving categories, with his reception and target tallies both marking season highs. Although Beckham's increased volume didn't come with much efficiency -- his 8.3 yards per catch was a season low -- the wideout at least was a focal point Sunday. That involvement helped him turn in his best performance in weeks, but next Sunday's matchup against the stacked Ravens secondary could be less fruitful for Beckham's fantasy owners.

Samuel caught five of eight targets for 31 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Seahawks. He also carried four times for 23 yards in the 30-24 loss.

Samuel finished third on the team in targets, but his long gain went for just 12 yards as he finished averaging 6.2 yards per catch. He salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective with a five-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter and supplemented that production with a handful of carries as well. Although Samuel hasn't racked up massive yardage this season, his six total touchdowns have given him some fantasy appeal in favorable matchups. His next chance to contribute will come Sunday against the Colts.

Boyd caught three of seven targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Patriots.

Sunday snapped a nice little three-game run for Boyd during which he caught five passes per game, scored twice and averaged 80.7 total yards per contest. As the top receiver for a team that frequently plays from behind, Boyd is one of the few Bengals worth considering from a fantasy perspective. The Patriots possess one of the top pass defenses in the league, so Boyd can be forgiven for a bit of a clunker. Cincinnati plays a struggling Miami squad Week 16, making Boyd a solid-but-not-spectacular play.

Moore caught eight of 12 targets for 113 yards during Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Seahawks.

Moore led the team in targets and receiving yards yet again while tying Christian McCaffrey in receptions. He broke off a long gain of 22 yards and was used consistently with Carolina playing from behind all game. Moore has now topped the 100-yard mark four times over the last seven contests and is averaging an impressive 101.6 yards per game during that span. He will look to continue his breakout season next Sunday against the Colts.

Adams caught seven of 13 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 21-13 win over the Bears.

Adams received a whopping 39 percent of the team's targets on the day, topping the 100-yard mark for the fourth time this season. He also scored a 29-yard touchdown to get his team on the board in the first quarter, giving him four TDs in his last four games. Adams is thriving after a rough first half of the season and will look to take advantage of a vulnerable Vikings secondary next Monday.

Davis corralled three of six targets for 57 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Texans.

The 24-year-old wideout has now been held out of the end zone in each of his past six outings, and he is averaging fewer than 35 receiving yards per game since Week 8. Rookie A.J. Brown more than doubled Davis' target share Week 15, and he has garnered more targets than Davis in each of their past five mutual appearances. Davis is a risky proposition in the late stages of the fantasy season, even with a favorable Week 16 matchup forthcoming against the Saints' bottom-half pass defense.

Parker caught four of seven targets for 72 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Giants.

Parker scored from 20 yards out in the second quarter and added a 29-yard touchdown in garbage time. He exited last week's game early due to a concussion, but Parker now has 24 catches for 457 yards and four touchdowns in his last four full games. The 2015 first-rounder has eight receiving touchdowns this season, one shy of his total from his first four seasons combined. Parker will be an appealing Week 16 option in a battle of rebuilding teams against Cincinnati.

Perriman secured five of six targets for 113 yards and three touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 38-17 win over the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed once for three yards.

Perriman's numbers are impressive under any circumstances, but given the Buccaneers lost both Chris Godwin and Scott Miller due to hamstring injuries Sunday and are already likely without Mike Evans the rest of the way for the same reason, they're particularly encouraging as well. The fifth-year speedster brought in scoring tosses of 34, 25 and 25 yards from Jameis Winston (thumb), giving him four of his five touchdowns on the season over his last two games. Perriman should be primed for every-snap volume in a Week 16 Saturday matchup versus the Texans, as Evans and Godwin are highly likely to miss that contest.

Brown hauled in eight of 13 targets for 114 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Texans.

The Ole Miss product is steadily evolving into an Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate as the season wears on, as he now has seven receiving scores and sits just 107 yards short of the 1,000-yard mark. Brown has been seemingly unstoppable over the past month, specifically, racking up an incredible 111.8 receiving yards per game with four total scores since the Titans' Week 11 bye. He remains a promising fantasy play Week 16, taking on a Saints defense that comes into Monday Night Football as a bottom-10 unit in terms of both receiving yards (2,327) and receiving TDs (16) allowed to opposing wideouts.

Shepard caught nine of 11 targets for 111 yards in Sunday's 36-20 win over the Dolphins.

Shepard led the Giants in targets, catches and receiving yards, but he just missed getting into the end zone. The 26-year-old wideout reached 100 receiving yards for the second time in eight games played this season, but he's still stuck on two touchdowns. Now that he's healthy, Shepard will look to build off this performance when the Giants travel to Washington in Week 16.
