Hopkins caught four of nine targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Chargers.

Hopkins scored a nine-yard touchdown in the second quarter and got both hands on a deep ball just outside the end zone early in the fourth before having it knocked out by a jarring hit for an incomplete pass. He accounted for Kansas City's only touchdown of the game but finished third on the team in receiving yards behind Travis Kelce (45) and Xavier Worthy (41) despite pacing the team in targets. Hopkins has established himself as the No. 1 wide receiver in Kansas City heading into a Week 15 matchup with the Browns, notching nine targets in three of his last six games while scoring four touchdowns over that span.

Williams recorded three receptions on four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Browns.

The Steelers had limited pass volume, with Russell Wilson taking to the air only 26 times. Even with an expanded role in the absence of George Pickens (groin), that led to a modest stat line for Williams. Nevertheless, it was his best usage as a Steeler, and he finished tied for second on the team in targets. Even with some slight reason for optimism, it's difficult to trust that Williams will post a meaningful stat line heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Eagles.

Ridley recorded seven receptions on 12 targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Jaguars.

Ridley dominated opportunity in the passing game, as no other Titans pass catcher saw more than four targets. That didn't lead to a great stat line, and Ridley ultimately needed a long 30-yard reception midway through the fourth quarter to have even a mediocre performance. He also drew negative attention for stepping out of bounds on a third-down play while seemingly having the chance to turn upfield to get past the sticks. The Titans failed to convert on the next play, ending Tennessee's best chance to win the game. Ridley has been held below 60 receiving yards in three of his last four matchups.

Allen (ankle) brought in three of five of targets for 30 receiving yards in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers.

Allen overcame a minor ankle injury during the practice week in order to suit up for Sunday's eventual loss. The seasoned veteran posted vanilla numbers on the heels of his two most-productive games. Allen has underwhelmed in Chicago outside of the two aforementioned performances, averaging just 3.7 receptions and 34.7 yards in nine other games this season. Perhaps the 32-year-old has finally lost a step in his 12th year, or his down numbers could simply be the result of the Bears' overall ineptitude on offense. Whatever the case, Allen checks in as a middling fantasy option ahead of next Monday's road tilt against the Vikings.

Moore (quadriceps) finished with six receptions on eight targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 38-13 loss to San Francisco.

Moore overcame a quadriceps injury to suit up Sunday and led the Bears in all receiving categories except scoring. That honor went to rookie wideout Rome Odunze, who cashed in both of Caleb Williams' late touchdown strikes in the lopsided loss. Moore's production paled in comparison to his previous two contests in which he racked up 15 receptions for 203 yards and two scores. The durable receiver should remain a focal point of Chicago's passing attack when the team visits Minnesota next Monday.

Reagor questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a finger injury.

The wide receiver caught his only target for four yards before exiting the contest. The Chargers are already playing without Ladd McConkey (knee), so Reagor's early exit leaves the team with four available wide receivers in Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer, Derius Davis and DJ Chark.

Moore recorded three receptions on four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers.

Moore was expected to benefit from condensed targets in the absence of Cedric Tillman (concussion). That wasn't the case against the Steelers, however, as Jameis Winston targeted seven different pass catchers multiple times. That left Moore with a mediocre line, and he's now had 35 or fewer receiving yards in two of his last four games.

Metcalf had four receptions (on six targets) for 49 yards in Sunday's 30-18 win over Arizona.

Metcalf finished second in targets behind running back Zach Charbonnet (seven) while checking in third in receiving yards behind Charbonnet and fellow wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The 27-year-old Metcalf's modest production out of the team's Week 10 bye may have fantasy managers concerned, but the wideout has maintained a high floor of 4.8 receptions and 61.0 yards during the mild four-game cold spell. Keep faith in Metcalf, as the Seahawks may require more from their receivers at home against Green Bay next Sunday.

Cooper recorded six receptions on 14 targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams.

Cooper had been slow to make an impact in the Buffalo offense, as he had failed to top four receptions or 66 yards in four games with the team. That changed against the Rams, as he easily paced the team in targets and had a team-high six receptions. While it wasn't the most efficient showing, Cooper did have long gains of 26, 25 and 18 yards. He should have momentum heading into a Week 15 showdown with the Lions, though the Bills could also be welcoming back Keon Coleman (wrist) and Dalton Kincaid (knee).

Samuel secured two of three targets for 22 yards while adding 13 rushing yards on five attempts in Sunday's 38-13 rout of the Bears.

Samuel was seemingly the only key member of the 49ers not to wake up in Sunday's landslide victory over the lowly Bears. The dual-threat star couldn't get anything going on the ground while George Kittle (6-151-0) and Jauan Jennings (7-90-2) did all the work in the passing game. Samuel is currently mired in a four-game slump that has resulted in 22 or fewer receiving yards in each contest during that span. This Thursday's crucial matchup against the Rams -- who just gave up 42 points in a win over the Bills -- is a prime opportunity for Samuel to look like his former self. If he turns in yet another stinker, managers may have to consider what was once unthinkable -- benching the star player due to poor performance as many fantasy leagues enter the playoffs.
