Metchie caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Dolphins.

One of Metchie's four targets was an incompletion in the red zone. He's been the most productive of the Texans' depth wideouts behind Nico Collins and Tank Dell, but the Houston passing game in 2024 is not what it was in 2023. Metchie has 17 receptions on 25 targets for 182 yards over 11 appearances this season.

Woods caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over Miami.

Woods had the third-most snaps (24) among wide receivers, but his production was similar to previous weeks. After Nico Collins and Tank Dell, Woods is looking for leftovers along with John Metchie (21 snaps, four targets) and Xavier Hutchinson (eight, one). Woods has caught 13 of 19 targets on the season for 124 yards and zero touchdowns.

Hutchinson caught his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Dolphins in Week 15.

Hutchinson was back in action after missing one game due to a shoulder injury. He was on the field for just eight offensive snaps and has slipped behind John Metchie (21 snaps) and Robert Woods (24 snaps) on the depth chart.

Proche returned three punts for 14 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 21-7 loss to Kansas City.

After the Browns forced a three-and-out punt on Kansas City's first possession, Proche lost the handle on a return at the Browns' 21-yard line. Three plays later, Cleveland was in a 7-0 hole. Kadarius Toney muffed a punt in Week 14 and was cut from the roster last Tuesday, so there could be further changes to the return team coming. Proche as been an on-and-off again punt returner this season and has just three catches for 21 yards on offense.

Woods caught two of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 21-7 loss to Kansas City in Week 15.

Woods was once again elevated to No. 3 wideout as Cedric Tillman (concussion) was inactive, and he played 100 percent of the offensive snaps. All that activity didn't translate into meaningful production for Woods, who's been targeted 11 times (once in the red zone) in three weeks as Tillman's replacement. The Browns benched starting quarterback Jameis Winston and may have Dorian Thompson-Robinson start the final three weeks, which could alter the target distribution beginning in Week 16 at Cincinnati.

Ridley recorded three receptions on five targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Bengals. He added one rush for 19 yards.

Ridley saw his fewest targets since Week 4, though he still made explosive plays with the ball in his hands. He tallied long receptions of 21 and 16 yards and supplemented that with a 19-yard rush off the right end late in the third quarter. Even so, Ridley has 60 or fewer yards from scrimmage in four of his last five games.

Douglas hauled in all three of his targets for 11 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-17 loss to Arizona.

Douglas came out of New England's bye week in good health and rewarded deep-league managers with his second touchdown of the season. The sophomore starter has quietly provided value for those in PPR formats with a 55-508-2 receiving line through 14 games. With his ankle injury in the rearview mirror, Douglas remains serviceable to those in the aforementioned formats against the Bills next Sunday.

Patrick caught four of eight targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills.

Patrick found the end zone for a second week in a row, reeling in a 12-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. He has now caught 19 of 26 targets for 202 yards and three touchdowns over the team's last five games. Patrick has settled into a consistent role as Detroit's No. 3 wide receiver down the stretch in 2024.

Metcalf collected all three of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Packers.

Metcalf actually finished as Seattle's second-leading receiver despite seeing his fewest targets to date in 2024. That statistic highlights how poor of a passing performance Geno Smith (knee) and Sam Howell combined for against the Packers' rabid defense. Metcalf has taken a backseat to Jaxon Smith-Njigba (10-83-0) in the second half of the season, but the former still holds fantasy value heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Vikings.

Williams caught three of five targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills.

Williams was limited to his lowest reception total since Week 10, but he did salvage his day with a three-yard touchdown catch with less than a minute left in the game. The wide receiver has now compiled 25 catches for 386 yards and two touchdowns over the last six games following his two-game suspension. Williams has emerged as a legitimate No. 2 option at wide receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown this season, catching 42 of 68 targets for 747 yards and five touchdowns while adding eight carries for 56 yards over 12 games.
