  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Salvages fantasy line with late TD

    Sutton caught three of nine targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Colts.

    Sutton was quiet prior to scoring a 20-yard touchdown with 5:48 remaining in the fourth quarter. That play was enough to propel him into the team lead in receiving yards as Bo Nix threw for only 130 yards in this turnover-filled matchup. Sutton has seen at least eight targets in seven consecutive games heading into Thursday's clash with the Chargers, and this was the first time in that busy stretch that Sutton failed to reach 70 receiving yards.

  • Khalil Shakir WR | BUF

    Bills' Khalil Shakir: Another TD in Week 15 win

    Shakir secured six of seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 48-42 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Shakir paced the Bills in receptions and tied for the team lead in targets while scoring a touchdown for the second straight game on a three-yard grab late in the third quarter. Shakir has at least five catches in six of the last seven games, affording him a solid PPR floor heading into a Week 16 home matchup against the Patriots.

  • Dante Pettis WR | NO

    Saints' Dante Pettis: Catches two passes Week 15

    Pettis tallied two receptions (on five targets) for 24 yards during Sunday's 20-19 defeat against Washington.

    Pettis logged more than two targets for the first time this season. He also tied with running back Alvin Kamara (groin) for the team's second-most targets behind deep threat Marquez Valdes-Scantling (seven), though this ultimately didn't mean much in terms of fantasy value, as the Saints' passing game was largely ineffective without starting quarterback Derek Carr (concussion/hand). With no clear No. 1 receiver, it's likely that the Saints will continue spreading the ball around to multiple pass catchers. However, if Kamara ends up missing time after being forced out with a groin injury in the fourth quarter, then it's possible that the Saints will rely more on its wideouts and tight ends. The team will have one extra day to rest before facing the Packers on Monday, Dec. 23.

  • Jalen Coker WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jalen Coker: Scores long touchdown

    Coker recorded four receptions on six targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Cowboys.

    Coker returned from a three-game absence and immediately stepped back into a significant role. He finished second on the team in targets and tied for second in receptions, and the highlight of his performance came on an 83-yard touchdown just before halftime. Coker has at least six targets in three of his last four games, so he should maintain a consistent role in the offense down the stretch, though his results may remain unpredictable due to the inconsistency of Bryce Young.

  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Another four catches Sunday

    Robinson brought in four of nine targets for 38 yards in the Giants' 35-14 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Robinson finished a distant runner-up across the board in all three receiving categories to Malik Nabers. The reliable third-year pro eclipsed the 70-catch mark on the season (71) with Sunday's production, and he heads into a favorable Week 16 road matchup against the Falcons with at least four receptions in four of the last five contests.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Panthers' Adam Thielen: Leads team in targets

    Thielen recorded five receptions on seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Cowboys.

    The Panthers couldn't get their passing attack on track, with the only explosive play being an 83-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Coker. Thus, despite leading the team in targets and receptions, Thielen turned in a modest performance. Positively, he should remain Bryce Young's top target, though the overall state of the Carolina offense may lead to inconsistent results.

  • Tank Dell WR | HOU

    Texans' Tank Dell: Tallies 86 all-purpose yards Sunday

    Dell secured both targets for 26 yards and rushed once for 15 yards in the Texans' 20-12 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. He also returned three punts for 45 yards.

    Dell's receiving yardage total, modest as it was, qualified as the second highest on the Texans for the afternoon behind Joe Mixon's 33. Dell also recorded his longest rush since Week 2 with his 15-yard run, but he's now posted under 40 receiving yards in five of his last eight games overall. Dell will look to make inroads against the Chiefs' defense in a Week 16 road matchup on Saturday afternoon.

  • David Moore WR | CAR

    Panthers' David Moore: Modest showing in Week 15

    Moore caught two of his four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Cowboys.

    The veteran wideout saw minimal offensive work in the first three quarters of Sunday's loss with the return and emergence of undrafted rookie Jalen Coker (4-110-1). However, Moore was targeted four times in the fourth quarter after 2024 first-round pick Xavier Legette exited the Week 15 loss with a groin injury. Moore could continue to see increased work with Carolina's first-team offense in the Week 16 matchup against the Cardinals if Legette is unable to suit up.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Team-high catch total in win

    Flowers secured six of seven targets for 53 yards in the Ravens' 35-14 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Flowers finished with team-high catch and target totals in the lopsided win, but he was only third in receiving yards behind Rashod Bateman and Justice Hill. The second-year wideout has eclipsed 50 receiving yards in three straight games for the first time this season heading into a Week 16 home matchup against the Steelers on Saturday afternoon.

  • Malik Heath WR | ATL

    Packers' Malik Heath: Inactive for SNF

    Heath (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Seahawks.

    With Romeo Doubs (concussion) back in the lineup, Heath is the odd man out in the Packers' wide receiver corps, as Bo Melton is up as the fifth wideout. Sunday marks the third time Heath is inactive this season. He has six catches for 41 yards and one touchdown on seven targets in 2024.
