Vele caught four of five targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.

Vele finished 12 receiving yards shy of Courtland Sutton's team-high total, though neither of them caught any of Bo Nix's four touchdown passes. This was the second-highest receiving yardage total of Vele's career, but the rookie has fallen short of 40 yards in five of seven career NFL appearances. Vele will turn 27 on Dec. 12, which likely contributed to his slide to the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but he has proven NFL-ready while carving out a meaningful role heading into a Week 12 road game in Vegas.

Sutton caught seven of eight targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.

Sutton led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards but wasn't on the receiving end of any of Bo Nix's four touchdown passes. Since being held without a catch by the Saints in Week 7, Sutton has bounced back by posting at least six catches and 70 yards in each of his last four games. With Nix surging under center, Denver's top wide receiver has turned into a reliable fantasy option ahead of a Week 12 road game against the Raiders.

Waddle secured two of three targets for 37 yards in the Dolphins' 34-19 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Waddle recorded double-digit gains on both his catches, but he was once again very modestly involved. The 2021 first-round pick hasn't topped 57 receiving yards since Week 1 despite being healthy and holding down his usual No. 2 receiver role, but he'll have a fresh opportunity to bounce back against a vulnerable Patriots defense at home in Week 12.

London caught three of seven targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Broncos.

London finished as the team leader in receiving yards in the blowout loss, but he has now been kept out of the end zone in consecutive games for the first time this season. He heads into the Week 12 bye with 710 receiving yards, which is one yard shy of the team-leading total held by Darnell Mooney, who exited in the third quarter of Sunday's loss due to a hamstring injury. London will look to end his brief touchdown drought when the Falcons return to action in Week 13 against the Chargers.

Turner secured all three targets for 29 yards and returned one kickoff for 31 yards in the Raiders' 34-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Turner bounced back from not drawing a single target in a Week 9 loss to the Bengals to post his second-highest catch total of the season. The third-year pro and fellow complementary wideout Tre Tucker seem to be stuck in a similar plight within the heavily concentrated Raiders air attack, that being having the misfortune of playing behind the high-usage duo of Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers. Turner will remain a highly speculative fantasy option in a tough Week 12 home matchup against the Broncos.

Tillman gathered in three of eight targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 35-14 loss at New Orleans.

Prior to the Browns' Week 10 bye, Tillman surpassed 75 receiving yards in three straight games en route to a cumulative 21-255-3 line on 32 targets. The volume still was there for the second-year receiver as QB Jameis Winston aired it out 46 times, but Jerry Jeudy (6-142-1 on 11 targets), David Njoku (9-81-0 on nine targets) and Elijah Moore (6-66-1 on eight targets) were the main beneficiaries this time around. Cleveland has a quick turnaround Thursday against a tough Steelers defense, so Tillman may have his work cut out for him to produce in Week 12.

Tucker secured three of four targets for 28 yards and rushed once for seven yards in the Raiders' 34-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Tucker tied several teammates for third in receptions, but as has been the norm this season, he couldn't parlay his modest opportunities into much production. The speedy Tucker has been over 41 receiving yards just once this season -- he posted a season-high 96 yards against the Panthers in Week 3 -- as he continues to serve as a clear tertiary target in an air attack typically led by star rookie tight end Brock Bowers and veteran wideout Jakobi Meyers. Tucker's next opportunity to improve his numbers isn't exactly an inviting one, as he'll face a talented Broncos secondary in a Week 12 home matchup.

Meyers secured four of six targets for 28 yards and rushed once for 20 yards in the Raiders' 34-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

It was an atypical stat line all the way around for Meyers, who recorded the longest rush of his career but also posted his lowest receiving yardage tally of the campaign. The veteran pass catcher did record at least four catches for the seventh straight game, but he's eclipsed the century mark only once, in Week 9 against the Bengals, over the course of the season. Meyers usually gets more mileage out of his pass-catching opportunities than he did Sunday, but he'll face a daunting task against the Broncos at home in Week 12.

Williams brought in four of six targets for 124 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for two yards in the Lions' 52-6 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Williams finished a distant second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Amon-Ra St. Brown, but he put together a standout performance in his own right. Williams sealed his second 100-yard performance of the season with a 64-yard catch-and-run touchdown early in the third quarter, his fourth score overall this season. Williams lines up for another favorable matchup when the Lions travel to face the Colts in a Week 12 interconference clash next Sunday.

Pickens caught eight of 12 targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Ravens.

The third-year wideout led Pittsburgh in catches, targets and receiving yards, and the volume was his highest in four games since Russell Wilson took over as the team's starting QB. Pickens has posted a 22-365-2 line on 33 targets over that stretch, putting him on track for a huge finish to the campaign. Pickens will look to keep rolling in Week 12 against the Browns.
