Devin Funchess held without a catch in Week 15 loss.

Funchess was targeted once, and it resulted in an interception at the end of the first half as Cam Newton threw a badly underthrown ball in single coverage. Now working as the No. 4 receiver behind Curtis Samuel, D.J. Moore, and Jarius Wright, Funchess isn’t a recommended fantasy option.

Michael Crabtree did not catch a pass in Week 15.

This was Crabtree’s first game without a catch this season, and he’s simply too difficult to trust in fantasy lineups right now with Lamar Jackson quarterbacking a run-heavy attack.

Tre’Quan Smith catches two passes in Week 15.

Smith gained 15 yards on his two receptions (four targets) against the Panthers. On a third down, he had an opportunity to come down with a potential first down catch, but the pass might have been slightly high and wasn’t an easy grab. The rookie receiver will look to do more damage at home in Week 16, as he’s had more success and a couple of big games in the Superdome this season compared to some struggles on the road. He’s very difficult to trust in lineups with fantasy titles on the line, though.

Ito Smith handles 11 touches in win over the Cardinals.

Smith rushed nine times for 34 yards and caught two passes for five yards. The rookie back ended up leaving the game with a knee injury, but hopefully it was just precautionary in a blowout win, as he came into the game banged up. Smith is averaging just 3.5 yards per carry this year, but he has eaten into Tevin Coleman’s workload since Atlanta fell out of playoff contention, which makes him a FLEX option over the final two weeks.

Ian Thomas caught two passes for 14 yards in Monday night’s loss to the Saints.

It was a tough matchup for Thomas, but the rookie has a chance to bounce back next week against the Falcons. Consider him a quality TE2 option for the fantasy championship.

Maxx Williams catches one pass against the Bucs.

Williams gained six yards on his lone Week 15 reception. Williams isn’t a highly-recommended fantasy option entering championship weeks.

Josh Hill catches two passes in Saints’ win.

Hill gained 24 yards on his two receptions versus Carolina. Hill is a better real-life contributor than fantasy asset, and he’s not a recommended option heading into fantasy title games.
