Boutte, Kayshon
(NE)
Boutte tied Hunter Henry for the team lead in receptions and brought in one of Drake Maye's two touchdown passes, recording a three-yard scoring grab with one minute remaining in the first quarter. Five of Boutte's six touchdowns on the campaign have come within the last six contests, although he's only totaled 50 receiving yards in the last three games. Boutte next takes aim at the Bills' talented secondary in a Week 15 home clash on Sunday, Dec. 14 following a Week 14 bye.

Burden III, Luther
(CHI)
Burden led the Bears in targets and yards with Rome Odunze (foot) sidelined, while DJ Moore remained uninvolved. Burden was primarily targeted in short areas of the field, though he did get behind the Packers' defense for a 27-yard gain late in the fourth quarter as the Bears attempted to rally to tie the game. Burden's involvement in Chicago's offense has steadily crept up in recent weeks, as he now has at least five targets in four straight contests. He set his highest yardage total in that span with his performance Sunday, though Burden could continue to emerge in the final handful of remaining weeks of the regular season.

Flournoy, Ryan
(DAL)
Flournoy was also the beneficiary of Dak Prescott's lone touchdown pass of the evening, securing a 42-yard scoring strike down the right sideline in the fourth quarter. With a 29-349-3 receiving line on the season, Flournoy has suddenly thrust himself into the fantasy conversation. If Lamb is unable to clear concussion protocol before the Cowboys' Week 15 matchup against the Vikings, Flournoy could be in line for another starting role and significant target volume.

Higgins, Jayden
(HOU)
Higgins finished second on the team in targets, receptions and yards, with Nico Collins being the only Texans pass catcher who was able to produce much. While his stat line wasn't spectacular, Higgins did convert a pair of first downs in the game, both of which were pivotal in Houston securing a win. He now has at least five targets in five straight games and will benefit from a better matchup in Week 15 against the Cardinals.

Slayton, Darius
(NYG)
Slayton wound up being the beneficiary of Jaxson Dart's (concussion) only touchdown strike in the rookie signal-caller's return to action Monday night. The 28-year-old Slayton finished well behind fellow starter Wan'Dale Robinson and TE Theo Johnson in terms of targets (eight apiece), so fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to the former's first trip to the end zone in 2025. The Giants will be on a bye in Week 14, with Slayton profiling as only a deep-league option in fantasy when the team resumes play on Dec. 14.

Wilson, Michael
(ARI)
Wilson continues to impress in games where Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) does not suit up. Harrison has missed three of the Cardinals' past four games, with Wilson hauling in 36 passes for 445 yards in those contests. He will set up as a must-play in Week 15 against the Texans if Harrison doesn't suit up.
