Doubs secured one of two targets for 17 yards in the Packers' 20-19 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Doubs' catch and receiving yardage totals tied and set a season low, respectively. The 24-year-old wideout has just 45 receiving yards combined over the last two contests, but given how spread out targets can be in Green Bay's offense from game to game, it wouldn't be surprising to see Doubs bounce back despite a tough Week 12 home matchup against the 49ers.

Samuel caught five of six targets for 58 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-21 victory versus the Chiefs.

Fellow wide receiver Keon Coleman has missed back-to-back games due to a wrist injury, and Samuel has responded with a 9-93-1 line on 14 targets during that span. Samuel even was on the receiving end of QB Josh Allen's sole TD pass from 12 yards out early in the fourth quarter to extend the Bills' lead to nine points. Buffalo has a Week 12 bye on the schedule, meaning Coleman could be back in action when the team next takes the field Sunday, Dec. 1 against the 49ers. If that comes to pass, Samuel likely would slip down the WR pecking order behind Coleman and Khalil Shakir.

Allen secured four of eight targets for 41 yards in the Bears' 20-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Allen finished third in receptions and second in targets in the Bears' first game under interim offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, and the veteran recorded a clutch 12-yard grab on Chicago's final drive. Allen has at least four receptions in three straight games, but his short-area role -- he hasn't eclipsed 44 receiving yards in any game -- is likely to continue capping his fantasy appeal despite the change at coordinator.

Jennings corralled 10 of 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.

Jennings continues to thrive as a starter since being elevated to second on the depth chart coming out of the 49ers' Week 9 bye. The physical wideout is averaging 8.5 receptions, 92.0 yards and 11.0 targets in two games sans Brandon Aiyuk (knee). With defenses keying in on Deebo Samuel since his running mate was lost for the year, Jennings has elevated his play to mimic that of the superstar he is filling in for. The window to snag Jennings has likely closed in competitive formats, but managers should continue to ride the hot hand as the 49ers hit the road to face the Packers next Sunday.

McConkey (shoulder) returned to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

McConkey went to the locker room after landing hard on his shoulder in the first half, but he managed to return to the game after a few minutes. He caught his only target for 20 yards prior to the injury scare.

McConkey (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals.

McConkey got up favoring his shoulder after landing hard at the end of a 20-yard catch in the first quarter. That was the rookie's only target prior to the injury. The Chargers' other active wide receivers Sunday night are Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer, Jalen Reagor and Derius Davis.

Lockett recorded two catches (on three targets) for 19 yards during Sunday's 20-17 victory at San Francisco.

QB Geno Smith attempted 32 passes Week 11, which typically would provide enough volume for the Seahawks' primary pass catchers to have fruitful outings. However, Jaxon Smith-Njigba (10-110-0 on 11 targets) and DK Metcalf (7-70-0 on nine targets) dominated Smith's attention, leaving scraps behind for the likes of Lockett. Smith also failed to throw a TD for the second time in 10 appearances this season, so Lockett wasn't able to salvage his day with an end-zone visit. Lockett will aim to bounce back next Sunday against the Cardinals.

Odunze brought in six of 10 targets for 65 yards in the Bears' 20-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Odunze led the Bears in receiving yards and targets while checking in second in receptions. The rookie's usage in the Bears' first game under interim offensive coordinator Thomas Brown was highly encouraging considering Odunze hadn't exceeded seven targets in eight of his first nine NFL contests. The 2024 first-round pick tabulated the final 37 receiving yards of his day on Chicago's final drive of the game, and he'll head into what could be a Week 12 home matchup against the Vikings with plenty of momentum.

Moore secured all seven targets for 62 yards and rushed once for five yards in the Bears' 20-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Moore led the Bears in receptions while checking in second in receiving yards in Chicago's first game under interim offensive coordinator Thomas Brown. The veteran wideout's catch total was his highest since Week 3, while his yardage tally was his best over the last five games. Given Moore hadn't cleared 33 receiving yards in the last four contests under former offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, there's reason for optimism heading into a Week 12 home clash against an inconsistent Vikings secondary.

Reed secured both targets for 23 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for minus-5 yards in the Packers' 20-19 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also returned one punt for 16 yards.

Reed seemed to be on his way to a big day when he capped off the opening drive of the contest with a 15-yard touchdown grab, but he drew only one additional target on the afternoon. Reed's two-catch tally was his third such in the last four games, although the TD reception snapped a three-game scoreless drought for the second-year wideout. Reed's volume is difficult to trust in a Packers offense that typically feeds a significant number of targets, making him a risky fantasy option heading into a tough Week 12 home matchup against the 49ers.
