DJ Chark WR | ATL
Chargers' DJ Chark: Healthy scratch for Week 11
Chark (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Chark didn't suit up until Week 10 due to hip and groin injuries, but after playing only one snap in his Chargers debut, he will return to watching from the sidelines. It may take an injury to one of Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer, Jalen Reagor or Derius Davis for Chark to enter the gameday lineup moving forward.

Zay Flowers WR | BAL
Ravens' Zay Flowers: Hauls in TD in Sunday's loss
Flowers caught two of six targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Steelers.
The second-year wideout was headed for an awful performance until he hooked up with Lamar Jackson for a 16-yard score with just over one minute left in the fourth quarter. The Ravens were unable to add a two-point conversion however, as their comeback effort fell short. Flowers is still prone to occasional quiet games, but over the last seven games he's posted an impressive 35-569-3 line on 52 targets. He'll look to make an impact again in Week 12 against the Chargers.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling WR | DAL
Saints' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Another long TD in Sunday's win
Valdes-Scantling caught two of four targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-14 win over the Browns.
For the second straight week, Valdes-Scantling and Derek Carr hooked up for a long TD -- this one a 71-yarder in the second quarter -- but the wideout did most of the work this time, taking a short pass over the middle and racing more than 60 yards to paydirt. The four targets were Valdes-Scantling's highest volume in three games since joining New Orleans, but he's posted a mammoth 6-201-3 line on his meager eight looks. He'll try not to cool down during the Saints' Week 12 bye.

Darnell Mooney WR | NYG
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Injures hamstring Sunday
Mooney suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's game at Denver, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Mooney made a midweek appearance on the Falcons' Week 11 practice report with an Achilles issue but ultimately was cleared Friday. He now is dealing with a separate health concern, and if he's unable to return, he'll finish with two catches (on four targets) for 27 yards.

Brian Thomas Jr. WR | JAC
Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Paces receivers in loss
Thomas secured five of seven targets for 82 yards in the Jaguars' 52-6 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed once for four yards.
Thomas actually managed to cobble together a solid performance despite the lopsided nature of the loss and the fact he was catching passes from Mac Jones instead of Trevor Lawrence (shoulder). The rookie wideout tied with Evan Engram for the team lead in receptions and targets while setting the pace in receiving yards, recording his highest totals in all three categories since Week 7. Thomas should have a good chance of having Lawrence back under center in a Week 13 home divisional battle against the Texans following a Week 12 bye.

Kendrick Bourne WR | ARI
Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Best game of season in Week 11
Bourne caught all five of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams.
Bourne had been quiet since returning from a knee injury that cost him the first four weeks of the season, but he bounced back nicely after going without a catch in two of his previous three games. He set a season high in receiving yards and scored his first touchdown of the season on a 10-yard reception in the first quarter. Given the lack of production from New England's wideouts this season, Bourne could have a tough time building on this breakout effort in Week 12 against a tough Dolphins secondary.

Elijah Moore WR | PHI
Browns' Elijah Moore: Finds end zone in New Orleans
Moore caught six of eight targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints,
The fourth-year wideout was on the other end of a 30-yard Jameis Winston TD in the third quarter, giving Moore his first score of the season. In three games with Winston as the Browns' starting QB, Moore has racked up a 17-179-1 line on 29 targets, giving him intriguing upside for the rest of 2024. He faces a tougher matchup in Week 12 against the Steelers, however.

Jacob Cowing WR | SF
49ers' Jacob Cowing: Diagnosed with concussion
Cowing (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against Seattle, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Cowing entered concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head during a punt return in the second quarter. He won't return Sunday, and he'll have to clear the league's five-step protocol in order to play in Week 12 against the Packers on Nov. 24.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine WR | IND
Titans' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Records 98-yard reception Sunday
Westbrook-Ikhine had two receptions (six targets) for 117 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.
Westbrook-Ikhine struggled overall in Sunday's loss, but he and quarterback Will Levis caught the defense sleeping with a 98-yard touchdown on third-and-long in the third quarter. It was the wideout's fifth touchdown catch over his last six contests, although he's recorded two or fewer receptions in four of those games. Westbrook-Ikhine is a TD-dependent option outside of deeper leagues heading into next Sunday's matchup versus Houston.

Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Breaks out in Week 11 loss
Jeudy caught six of 11 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints.
The former Bronco was Jameis Winston's top downfield option, and most of Jeudy's production came on an 89-yard score in the first quarter. It's only the wideout's second TD of the year and his first since Cleveland's season opener, but if Winston -- who threw for 395 yards Sunday -- is regaining the form that saw him lead the league in passing yards in 2019, Jeudy figures to be in line for a big finish to the campaign. The Browns' aerial attack will face a tougher test in Week 12 against the Steelers.
