Dylan Drummond WR | ATL
Falcons' Dylan Drummond: Minimal output versus Seattle
Drummond caught three of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.
Drummond's five targets, 21 yards and 61 percent offensive snap share were all season highs for the 25-year-old wideout in just his fifth appearance this season. The Eastern Michigan product has been a nonfactor for most of the season and, for that reason, should remain far off the fantasy radar. Next up for Drummond and the Falcons is a Week 15 matchup against the Buccaneers.

David Sills WR | TB
Falcons' David Sills: No receptions in loss
Sills failed to reel in any of his four targets in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.
Sills was a nonfactor against Seattle, failing to record a single reception for the eighth time this season. The 29-year-old wideout scored his only two touchdowns of the season in back-to-back weeks prior to Week 14, but he has otherwise been an afterthought in Atlanta's passing attack. Sills played the most offensive snaps (60) of any Falcons' wide receiver Sunday with Drake London (knee) sidelined. Despite his increased playing time, Sills should not be trusted for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Rasheen Ali RB | BAL
Ravens' Rasheen Ali: Three touches in loss
Ali rushed once for two yards and caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Steelers.
Ali played 27 of the Ravens' 80 offensive snaps, behind Derrick Henry (43) and ahead of Keaton Mitchell (12). The second-year running back was not a major factor in the contest, recording just 13 total yards on his three touches. As long as Henry is healthy, Ali figures to continue to see limited usage in Baltimore's offense. The Marshall product should remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Bengals.

Tyler Goodson RB | ATL
Colts' Tyler Goodson: Plays one offensive snap
Goodson failed to record a single carry or target in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars.
Goodson was a complete nonfactor Sunday, as the running back played just one of the Colts' 70 offensive snaps behind Jonathan Taylor (52) and Ameer Abdullah (17). For fantasy purposes, the 25-year-old Goodson remains an interesting insurance policy if Taylor misses time due to injury, but the Iowa product should otherwise remain far off the fantasy radar when the Colts visit the Seahawks in Week 15.

AJ Barner TE | SEA
Seahawks' AJ Barner: Targeted four times win
Barner caught three of four targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons.
Barner continued to operate as the Seahawks No. 1 tight end Sunday, but he was unable to have a major impact in the passing attack. The 23-year-old, while getting consistent targets each week, has been unable to find the end zone since Week 5, limiting his fantasy upside. Barner will have his next opportunity to take a step forward and improve upon his recent weeks' limited production when the Seahawks host the Colts in Week 15.

Noah Fant TE | NO
Bengals' Noah Fant: Minimal production against Bills
Fant caught one of two targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 39-34 loss to the Bills.
Fant was not a major factor in the Bengals' passing attack Sunday, recording just one grab for the third straight contest. The veteran tight end played 25 of Cincinnati's 60 offensive snaps, behind Drew Sample (27) and tied with Mike Gesicki. It was Gesicki, however, who had the biggest impact of any Bengals tight end, catching all six of his targets for 86 yards and a touchdown. With Gesicki operating as the team's top tight end in the passing game, Fant remains very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Ravens.

Mitchell Tinsley WR | CIN
Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: Held catchless in loss
Tinsley failed to record a single target in Sunday's 39-34 loss to the Bills.
Tinsley was a complete nonfactor against the Bills, playing just nine of the Bengals' 60 offensive snaps without seeing a target from quarterback Joe Burrow. Heading into a Week 15 matchup against Baltimore, fellow wideout Tee Higgins is in the concussion protocol. If Higgins is forced to miss time, Tinsley would be a likely candidate to see a solid uptick in both snaps and targets. Fantasy managers in need of help at the wide receiver position could consider the Penn State product when the Bengals host the Ravens in Week 15.
-
Andrei Iosivas WR | CIN
Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Records three catches
Iosivas caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 39-34 loss to the Bills.
Iosivas was unable to get much going with his limited opportunities Sunday, as the veteran wideout played 65 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps against the Bills. Looking ahead to Week 15, however, the third-year wideout could be in line to see added snaps behind No. 1 wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase with Tee Higgins in concussion protocol. If Higgins is sidelined in Week 15, Iosivas would be a candidate to see an uptick in targets in a home matchup against the Ravens.

Kameron Johnson WR | TB
Buccaneers' Kameron Johnson: Makes offensive cameo in loss
Johnson failed to bring in his only target, returned two kickoffs for 39 yards and ran back two punts for no gain in the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Johnson logged six snaps on offense and saw his first target since Week 10, although he was unable to bring it in successfully on what was a difficult day for the Buccaneers' air attack as a whole. Johnson also continued in his usual returner role, and with Mike Evans (IR, collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (IR, neck) seemingly about to return to action, that special-teams role is likely to represent his only opportunity to touch the ball down the stretch.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey WR | DEN
Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Three grabs in win
Humphrey caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders.
Humphrey played 28 of the Broncos 74 offensive snaps Sunday, behind fellow wide receivers Courtland Sutton (48) and Pat Bryant (35). The 27-year-old was on the field for more offensive snaps than Marvin Mims (20) and Troy Franklin (19). Humphrey's 38 percent snap share was his largest since joining the Broncos this season, yet his elevated usage did not lead to much production. With quarterback Bo Nix spreading the ball around to so many pass catchers, the veteran wideout remains extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. Next up for Denver is a Week 15 home matchup against the Packers.
