Pierce left the final drive of Sunday's loss at Jacksonville with an undisclosed injury but was not in the concussion protocol despite a broadcast report saying he was being evaluated for a concussion, the Indianapolis Star reports. "You can ask the trainers," Pierce said. "Not going to talk about injuries."

NFL players are not allowed to talk to reporters after the game if in the concussion protocol, so a concussion can be ruled out at this point. It sounds like a minor injury, but check his status in practice early in the week. Pierce recorded five receptions on eight targets for 80 yards in the loss.

Jeudy brought in three of five targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 31-29 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

The veteran wideout put together one of his few productive performances of the season to date, posting his second-highest receiving yardage total with the help of a season-long 60 yard reception that went for a touchdown with under three minutes remaining late in the first half. Jeudy appears to be developing some encouraging chemistry with Shedeur Sanders, now having posted a 7-141-1 line on 12 targets over the latter's first three starts.

Brissett completed 25 of 44 pass attempts for 271 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while adding 22 rushing yards on four attempts in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Rams.

Brissett got off to a hot start when he drove his team down the field for a touchdown pass on the game's opening possession. The veteran signal-caller was clamped down from there salvaging his day from a fantasy perspective with a garbage-time touchdown in the fourth quarter. Brissett's three-game streak of reaching 300 passing yards came to an end Sunday, but he is still posting voluminous passing numbers while starting for the fledgling Cardinals. Kyler Murray (foot) has still not been reinstated off injured reserve, leaving Brissett to handle a rough road matchup against the Texans next Sunday.

Ward completed 14 of 28 passes for 117 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding two carries for four yards in the Titans' 31-29 win over the Browns on Sunday.

The Titans clawed their way to their second win of the season Sunday, and Ward did contribute with 14- and five-yard scoring tosses to Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike. While that marked the first multi-touchdown effort of Ward's career, the rookie first overall pick also posted his third-lowest completion percentage of the season and recorded just one completion of 20-plus yards. Ward now has four sub-200-yard tallies in his last five games, an unfavorable pattern he'll look to snap in a Week 15 road matchup against the 49ers next Sunday.

Prater converted his lone field-goal try and all four of his PATs in Sunday's 39-34 win over Cincinnati.

Prater had to kick on a snowy field, but that didn't seem to bother him much. He made a chip-shot 26-yard FG late in the first quarter and knocked in all four of his extra-point tries. Prater has been reliable this season, making 18 of 20 field-goal attempts and 35 of 38 PATs.

Mevis hit all six extra-point attempts and his only field-goal try in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Cardinals.

The Missouri product has made at least three extra points in all five of the games this season in which he's served as the Rams' primary kicker. Mevis took over for the struggling Joshua Karty in early November and has yet to miss, going 3-for-3 on field goals and 23-of-23 on extra points. He should remain a quality fantasy option in one of the league's highest-scoring offenses.

Njoku was ruled out after leaving Sunday's loss to the Titans with a knee injury, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. He caught his lone target for a one-yard touchdown.

Njoku hurt his knee while making a diving catch for a touchdown on the second play of the second quarter. After heading directly to the locker room following the incident, Njoku returned to the field but only to enter the medical tent. He's battled a sore knee the last three weeks, and it looks like that streak will extend at least one more week. Harold Fannin, who also caught a touchdown Sunday, will be the main beneficiary if Njoku is forced to miss any games.

Oliver caught both of his targets for 24 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-0 victory over Washington.

Oliver came into Sunday with one or zero targets in nine of his 10 games this season, so the fact that he got two balls thrown his way was out of the ordinary in itself. Not only did Oliver catch both of those targets, he scored on each one, reeling in an 18-yard TD in the first quarter and a six-yard score in the third. On the season, four of Oliver's nine catches have gone for a TD, making him about as extreme a TD-dependent fantasy option as it gets.

Thomas recorded three catches on six targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Colts.

Jakobi Meyers led the Jaguars in targets, but Thomas delivered several big plays to pace Jacksonville in yardage. He made a particularly impressive one-handed catch down the right sideline late in the first quarter for a 39-yard gain -- his longest of the day. Thomas' other two catches went for 30 and 18 yards, giving him his highest yardage total since Week 6. While he's had a disappointing season, Thomas has a strong chance to remain on track heading into a favorable Week 15 matchup against the Jets.

Adams finished with four receptions on six targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 45-17 rout of the Cardinals.

Adams suffered his worst fantasy output of the season in Week 14 as the Cardinals keyed in defensively on the touchdown machine. The 32-year-old's scoring streak of six games (featuring 11 touchdowns) finally came to end after QB Matthew Stafford spread the wealth to Los Angeles' other receiving options Sunday. Co-starter Puka Nacua shined with a 7-167-2 receiving line, leaving little work for Adams in the second half of the lopsided blowout. Adams will look to get back to his scoring ways when the Rams host the Lions for a potential offensive showdown in Week 15.
