Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston made five catches and scored a touchdown in a Week 15 blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Johnston led the team with 10 targets and tied for the team lead with the five catches. He totaled 45 yards and scored his second quarter touchdown on a 13-yard pass from Justin Herbert. Johnston had several of his now-expected drops and caused Herbert to throw just his second interception of the season on a ball that he likely could and should have caught. He's a better fantasy receiver than a real life one, and as long as the Chargers keep feeding him passes, that should continue.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne caught all three of his targets for 44 yards during Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Most of Bourne's production came on one singular play: a 37-yard reception that set up the Patriots inside the red zone. Drake Maye and DeMario Douglas connected for a touchdown two plays later. Bourne, 29, has been impressive over his last four games, totaling 14 catches, 183 receiving yards, and one touchdown during that span. The veteran pass-catcher has emerged as one of Maye's favorite targets and might even be ahead of Douglas in the pecking order. He should be viewed as a mid-range WR4 option heading into Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson completed four of his nine passes for 18 yards and an interception while adding three carries for 16 yards in a 21-7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. Thompson-Robinson replaced starter Jameis Winston after the latter's third interception of the contest but the second-year signal-caller wound up throwing an interception of his own with 1:26 left in the game. Head coach Kevin Stefanski was non-committal about who would be his starting quarterback for Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but it would be worth a waiver claim on DTR in deeper, superflex leagues in case the Browns opt to go with the youngster.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb again led the team in all receiving metrics as the clear go-to receiver for quarterback Cooper Rush. Lamb was targeted 13 times, catching nine balls for 116 yards and a touchdown. He connected with Rush for the first score of the game, a 14-yard touchdown reception. The star receiver will again be a top option in Week 16 against Tampa Bay on Sunday Night Football.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught six of his seven targets for 39 yards and one touchdown in the team's 48-42 win over the Detroit Lions. The Bills tallied 559 offensive yards and Josh Allen threw for 362, so Shakir's total was a bit disappointing. However, the slot receiver found the end zone on a three-yard flip coming across the formation to save his day. It's the second time Shakir has scored in as many weeks and his fourth this season. The 24-year-old will be in the flex conversation next week when the Bills host the New England Patriots.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught all four of his targets for 25 yards during Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Henry has been the most productive pass-catcher in the Patriots' offense, and while he did lead the team in receptions on Sunday, his yardage total was lower than expected. This was Henry's worst fantasy performance since Week 10 and just his second-worst showing since Drake Maye took over as the starting quarterback. He also finished with fewer fantasy points than Austin Hooper for the third time in New England's last five games. Fantasy managers should view Henry as a fringe top-12 fantasy option against the Buffalo Bills in Week 16, and he's no longer a must-start option.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks was second on the team behind CeeDee Lamb in receiving yards in the 30-14 win over Carolina. Cooks was targeted five times, catching three passes for 34 yards. Cooks is not currently on the fantasy radar despite being second or third in the pecking order most weeks given how concentrated the Dallas offense is on Lamb and running back Rico Dowdle. The veteran should be rostered by Lamb managers as a handcuff over the final weeks of the season, but serves no further use in most formats at this time.

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson caught five passes for 114 yards in the team's 48-42 win over the Detroit Lions. The veteran also rushed twice for nine yards. Buffalo's coaching staff clearly saw something on film when installing their game plan that suggested utilizing the third-down back. Johnson caught two passes for 57 yards on the team's opening drive. When the final whistle sounded, Johnson led the team in receiving yards. While he's been more involved in the offense recently, Johnson doesn't get enough touches for fantasy managers to feel good about starting him. He only needs to be added in deep leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson completed 14 of 22 pass attempts for 128 yards and a touchdown while adding four carries for 13 yards on the ground in a Week 15 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Wilson was also credited with a lost fumble on a toss dropped by running back Najee Harris. For the second consecutive week, Wilson failed to eclipse 200 passing yards without his top target George Pickens (hamstring) in the lineup. He did manage to find tight end Pat Freiermuth for a nine-yard score near the end of the second quarter but was otherwise quiet for fantasy purposes. Pittsburgh had just two offensive drives in the second half as Philadelphia dominated the time of possession and kept Wilson off the field. The 12th-year pro will hope to contribute more in a Week 16 divisional showdown with the Baltimore Ravens.

Per Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, outside linebacker T.J. Watt (ankle) sustained a low-ankle injury in Sunday's 27-13 loss to their in-state rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles. The superstar pass-rusher picked up his ailment on the game's final drive when rushing quarterback Jalen Hurts. His body appeared to contort weirdly while trying to get by the Eagles' offensive line, and his leg got stuck in the ground. He immediately came up limp. Before his exit, the 30-year-old registered seven tackles, two sacks, and a fumble forced. In excellent news, Watt's X-rays were reportedly clean, and for now, he's evaded the dreaded high-ankle variety of the injury. The Steelers will square off against the Baltimore Ravens next Sunday in a matchup with playoff-seeding repercussions, so Watt likely wants to be available for it. There will be an update on him over the coming days.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 14 times for 105 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 48-42 victory over the Detroit Lions. He also added one reception for 28 yards. The Lions have been a stout run defense throughout the season but injuries to their front seven are piling up. Cook's first score came from six yards away in the second quarter. His highlight play was a 41-yard scamper for six early in the third quarter. Buffalo utilized all three of their running backs in the win so it was encouraging for Cook's fantasy managers that he made the most of his touches. He'll be in must-start territory next week against the New England Patriots.

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle has now run for a career-high amount of rushing yards in three straight weeks. The 26-year-old is enjoying a breakout in his fifth NFL season, his first with an extended role. Dowdle rushed 25 times for 149 yards in the Week 15 win over the Carolina Panthers, taking advantage of a strong rushing matchup. He did not record a target in the dominant victory. Dowdle and the Cowboys will be back in action next Sunday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a tougher matchup on the ground than the previous few.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper did not see a target in the team's 48-42 victory over the Detroit Lions. Josh Allen threw for 362 yards and the game featured over 1,000 yards of offense. Yet, the veteran receiver was held out of the box score. This is a sharp contrast from last week when Cooper earned 14 targets. The Bills relied on all offensive weapons. Just nine of Allen's 23 completions were to wide receivers. Cooper isn't consistently on the football field (fourth in wide receiver snaps this week) and can't be trusted as a startable fantasy football receiver moving forward.

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson rushed for 33 yards on seven carries during Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He also caught both of his targets for a total of 31 yards through the air. The 26-year-old continues to operate as the No. 2 option behind Rhamondre Stevenson, but his increased role out of the backfield cannot be ignored. Gibson has 126 scrimmage yards over his last two games, and he's averaging 6.8 yards per carry during that span. He remains worthy of RB3/FLEX consideration in leagues with at least 14 teams ahead of next week's game against the vulnerable Buffalo Bills.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) returned after missing one game and had a solid performance in a Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. McConkey was targeted seven times and made five catches for 58 yards and a touchdown. The rookie receiver had a big first half before the Chargers offense just fell apart completely after half time. Most importantly, McConkey seemed to make it through the game without making his injuries any worse. The Bolts have a quick turnaround as they'll take on the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football in just a few days.

New York Jets kicker Anders Carlson made one of his two field goals and added three extra points in a 32-25 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. Carlson hit a 43-yard field goal and missed on a 48-yard try in the high-scoring win. The veteran kicker has now 12 of his 13 field goals this season. He will take on the Los Angeles Rams at home in Week 16.

From RotoBaller

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush had a solid showing in the 30-14 win over the Carolina Panthers. Rush only turned the ball over once on a lost fumble and tossed three touchdowns. He completed 18-of-29 passes for 214 yards, helping the Cowboys notch their sixth win of the season. Rush will be back in action in another solid matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night for Week 16, likely landing in QB2 range again.

The New York Jets defense struggled in a 32-25 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. New York failed to capitalize on a plus matchup against a Mac Jones-led offense as they coughed up 421 yards of total offense, with Brian Thomas Jr. leading the way with 105 yards and two touchdowns. The Jets did notch two sacks and force two turnovers in the close win. They will look to bounce back at home against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16.

New England Patriots tight end Austin Hooper caught all three of his targets for 38 yards during Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The 30-year-old has emerged as a key contributor within the Patriots' offense, averaging 3.6 catches, 47.6 receiving yards, and 0.4 touchdowns per game over his last five contests. Even in his role as the No. 2 tight end behind Hunter Henry, Hooper has started to generate some fantasy buzz, ranking as a fringe top-24 option at the position heading into Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Stone Smartt made five catches in a Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Smartt was targeted six times and his five catches were tied for the team lead. He ended up gaining 51 yards including a long play of 31. Smartt was a popular waiver wire addition this week after Bolts starter Will Dissly (shoulder) was confirmed out. With a quick turnaround ahead of Thursday Night Football coming up in Week 16, Smartt is expected to once again get the start at tight end and could have a similar game, putting him on the TE1/2 border.
