Robinson caught seven passes for 125 yards in the Bears' 21-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Robinson had just nine yards at halftime, but with Chicago falling behind by double digits early in the second half, he ended up with 14 targets, and the Packers were unable to slow him down as he posted at least 86 yards for the fourth time over his last six games. Although he'll face a Kansas City defense in Week 16 that has done well to limit opposing wide receivers this season, he'll continue to be a strong fantasy option to close out the season.

Slayton caught two of three targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-20 win over the Dolphins.

Slayton failed to notch his fourth multi-score effort of 2019, but the impressive rookie is up to eight touchdowns, seven of which have come in his past seven games played. His visit to the end zone in this one came from five yards out in the third quarter. Regardless of whether he's catching balls from Eli Manning for a third straight game or from Daniel Jones (ankle), Slayton will remain a threat to find the end zone in Washington in Week 16.

Hill caught five of seven targets for 67 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 23-3 win over Denver. He added a one-yard run during the game.

The snowy conditions were much more conducive to the short passing game, but that's not what the Chiefs and Hill were thinking early during Sunday's contest. Hill and Patrick Mahomes capped Kansas City's opening drive off with a 41-yard strike on a deep out-breaking route, as Hill continued his streak of big plays against Denver. Hill came back around later for a lunging five-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter for his second multi-touchdown game of the season. Hill has recorded at least six touches in each of the last six games in which he has finished. Next up is a Bears defense that has been good at preventing the kind of big plays that Hill generates, surrendering just 36 passes of 20 or more yards through Week 14, seventh fewest in the league.

Hopkins brought in six of eight targets for 119 yards in the Texans' 24-21 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Hopkins paced the Texans in receptions, receiving yardage and targets on the afternoon, consistently beating the Titans' porous coverage. The multi-time Pro Bowler now has back-to-back 100-yard games for only the second time this season, and he's just one reception away from a second consecutive 100-catch campaign. Hopkins will be primed for another fruitful fantasy day on fantasy championship weekend for many leagues when he sees the Buccaneers' lackluster secondary in a Week 16 matchup Saturday.

Coach Bruce Arians called Godwin's hamstring injury "not good" following Sunday's 38-17 win at Detroit, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Just one game removed from fellow wideout Mike Evans suffering a serious hamstring injury, the same fate befell Godwin. Prior to Godwin's departure in the third quarter, he racked up what ended up being a team-best 121 yards on his five catches (seven targets). If Godwin and Evans are out of the lineup Saturday against the Texans, their combined 17.6 targets per game on the campaign will be available for the likes of Breshad Perriman, Justin Watson and Ishmael Hyman to take on. Meanwhile, Scott Miller might not join that trio due to the hamstring injury he suffered Sunday.

Sims caught five of 11 targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-27 loss to Philadelphia.

Sims scored his first career receiving touchdown from five yards out in the second quarter, but he also had a critical drop on a deep ball with the game tied in the fourth. The Redskins challenged the play for possible defensive pass interference, but their challenge came up empty. With his role expanding down the stretch, a deep-league flier on Sims could end up paying off against the vulnerable Giants secondary in Week 16.

Metcalf caught two of four targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Panthers.

Metcalf played second fiddle to Tyler Lockett, who erupted for 120 yards and a score on a team-high nine targets. The rookie second-rounder still managed to produce a solid fantasy day by finding the end zone in the first quarter on a 19-yard pass from Russell Wilson. Metcalf has either surpassed 70 receiving yards or found the paydirt in five of the last six games, so he's carved out a solid floor ahead of Week 16's matchup against the Cardinals, which have the league's worst pass defense -- 294.2 yards allowed per game.

McLaurin caught all five of his targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-27 loss to Philadelphia.

McLaurin got behind the defense for a 75-yard touchdown late in the first quarter. That was the outstanding rookie's seventh touchdown of the season, as McLaurin has demonstrated a tremendous combination of ball skills and speed. His 130 receiving yards set a new career high, surpassing the 125 yards McLaurin posted against these same Eagles back in Week 1. McLaurin will take a two-game touchdown streak into a Week 16 matchup against a vulnerable Giants secondary.

Lockett caught eight of nine targets for 120 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Panthers.

Lockett was disappointing over the previous three games, totaling just five receptions for 81 yards. The fifth-year wideout admitted after the game that he's still feeling sick and is down 10 pounds, according to Joe Fann of NBC Sports Northwest, but Lockett looked as explosive as ever with his fourth 100-yard performance of the year while finding the end zone for the first time since Week 9. Lockett's boom-or-bust tag will continue to follow him, but fantasy owners should feel confident deploying him again Week 16 against the Cardinals, who have struggled to the tune of 294.2 passing yards allowed per game -- the worst in the league.

Godwin (hamstring) was carted to the locker room during Sunday's game in Detroit and won't return, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

Buccaneers wide receivers are dropping like flies. First, Mike Evans sustained a serious hamstring injury Week 14 and didn't take the field Sunday. Then, second-year slot receiver Scotty Miller was ruled out of this contest with a hamstring concern of his own. Godwin himself suffered a hamstring issue, leaving Tampa Bay with just Breshad Perriman, Justin Watson and Ishmael Hyman at the position.
