  • Packers' Christian Watson: Puts forth season-best effort

    Watson brought in all four targets for 150 yards in the Packers' 20-19 win over the Bears on Sunday.

    Watson contributed a game-long 60-yard reception on the second play of what would turn out to be the Packers' game-winning drive in the fourth quarter. The third-year wideout tied a season best in receptions while setting a new high-water mark in receiving yards, with the only blemish on his afternoon the fact his touchdown drought extended to four games. Watson will look to build on his first 100-yard tally of the season in a Week 12 home clash against the 49ers next Sunday.

  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Titans' Calvin Ridley: Gains 58 yards in loss

    Ridley brought in four of six targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.

    Ridley was unable to replicate his big scoring day from a week prior, but he still churned out serviceable production Sunday. The 29-year-old's fantasy value has taken a hit overall since he joined the Titans, as he has a 36-541-3 receiving line through 10 games and has eclipsed 85 receiving yards just once all season. Ridley still offers enough juice for those in deeper formats, or even as a Week 12 bye replacement in standard leagues against the Texans next Sunday.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Long catch aids game-winning drive

    Pierce caught three of four targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Jets.

    The majority of Pierce's yardage came on a 39-yard catch on the last Colts possession, which set up Anthony Richardson's game-winning rushing touchdown in the final minute. Pierce's ability to make big gains down the field has been his calling card all season, as he came into Sunday's game leading all qualified receivers with 22.4 yards per catch. He needs just three receiving yards in Week 12 against the Lions to match his career high of 593 from his rookie season in 2022.

  • Colts' Michael Pittman: Five catches in return

    Pittman caught five of eight targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Jets.

    Pittman was more involved in his return from a one-game absence due to a back injury, which was preceded by a pair of one-catch performances. He has been eclipsed as the top option in the Colts passing game by Josh Downs, who had a touchdown catch among his team-high 84 receiving yards Sunday. Up next for Pittman is a Week 12 home game against a Detroit defense that has allowed plenty of yardage to wide receivers, in part because the 9-1 Lions have spent the vast majority of their season playing from ahead.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Lions' Allen Robinson: Evaluated for concussion

    Robinson was evaluated for a concussion in the late moments of Sunday's 52-6 win over the Jaguars.

    Robinson reeled in one of two targets for seven yards in the victory, but he did take a blow to the head in the fourth quarter. It's unclear if the wide receiver suffered a concussion, but if he did, he'd have to clear league protocols to have a chance to suit up against the Colts on the road in Week 12.

  • Josh Downs WR | IND

    Colts' Josh Downs: Leading receiver in Week 11 win

    Downs caught all five of his targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Jets.

    Downs continued to work as the top option in Indianapolis' passing game as the Colts went back to Anthony Richardson under center. The second-year wideout led the Colts in receiving yards and scored the team's only touchdown through the air while Richardson provided another two with his legs. Downs has reached 60 receiving yards in six of his last seven games and has a nice opportunity to keep rolling in Week 12 against a Lions defense that has given up plenty of yardage to wide receivers.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Season-low 18 yards in loss

    Wilson caught four of eight targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.

    Wilson posted his lowest receiving yardage total of the season and has just 59 yards over his last two games combined after averaging 94.4 over the previous five games. Aaron Rodgers hasn't been nearly as much of an upgrade under center as the Jets anticipated, but Wilson has still benefited from the change. Heading into the Jets' Week 12 bye, Wilson has already set a career high with five receiving touchdowns, and he's on pace for 1,116 receiving yards this season, which would narrowly set a new personal best for the third-year wideout.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Jets' Davante Adams: Six catches in Week 11 loss

    Adams (illness/wrist) caught six of seven targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.

    Adams bounced back to lead the Jets in receiving yards after averaging an awful 2.4 yards per target in the previous game, but this still wasn't all that strong of a performance by the star wide receiver's lofty standards. Breece Hall scored two total touchdowns in the loss, while Garrett Wilson was limited to 18 receiving yards on eight targets. The Jets have been unable to get all three of those prominent playmakers going simultaneously, which has contributed to the team's dreadful 3-8 start heading into the Week 12 bye.

  • Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Third on team in targets

    Robinson secured two of four targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 28-22 victory against the Patriots.

    Besides the target-hogging duo of Cooper Kupp (6-106-2) and Puka Nacua (7-123-1), Robinson and Tutu Atwell were the only wideouts to see any passes come their way. Robinson didn't manage to do much with those targets, however, and his 6-94-2 line from Week 9 is starting to look more like an outlier with Kupp and Nacua rolling. It'll be hard to trust Robinson in fantasy lineups against the Eagles in Week 12.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Leading receiver in win

    Jefferson brought in six of eight targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Titans.

    Jefferson led the Vikings in all receiving categories as he usually does, but he was left scoreless after both of Sam Darnold's passing touchdowns went to a pair of running backs. It was still a solid fantasy effort from Jefferson, who now has 59 receptions for 912 yards and five touchdowns through 10 contests. The superstar wideout is a clear-cut WR1 for Week 12 when Minnesota visits Chicago next Sunday.
