Jeudy recorded three receptions on four targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Texans.

Russell Wilson took to the air only 26 times, limiting opportunities for all of Denver's pass catchers. Jeudy finished second on the team in targets and yards, and the highlight of his day came on a 41-yard gain early in the fourth quarter that set up a touchdown on the next play. Jeudy has topped 65 yards just once this season, though he does have at least 50 in four of his last six games.

Smith had nine receptions on 11 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the 49ers.

Smith was already having a strong fantasy performance before catching a short touchdown late in Sunday's loss to bolster his final line. A.J. Brown (thigh) also produced strong results as both starting wideouts took advantage of San Francisco's weakness on defense -- its cornerbacks. Smith has tallied 22 receptions for 301 yards and two touchdowns in three games since the Eagles' bye week. He will have another opportunity to post big numbers next Sunday against a Cowboys team that has been without top corner Trevon Diggs (knee) all season.

Pickens recorded four receptions on five targets for 86 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Cardinals.

Pickens opened the game in exceptional fashion, racking up 51 yards between two catches within the first three plays from scrimmage. He slowed down considerably from there, in part due to the absence of Kenny Pickett (ankle) and also because of rainy conditions. Positively, it was still Pickens' most productive performance since a Week 7 win over the Rams and marked only the second time he's topped 50 yards in six games since.

Brown (thigh) had eight receptions on 13 targets for 114 yards in Sunday's 42-19 loss to San Francisco.

Brown powered through a nagging thigh injury to produce his first 100-yard game since Week 8. Fellow starter DeVonta Smith caught Jalen Hurts' lone touchdown pass Sunday, but Brown finished with the team lead in targets (13) and yards (114). The star wideout's production had tapered off in recent weeks following a white-hot start to the campaign, so Sunday's gaudy receiving performance along with improved health could get him back on track. Expect Brown to be heavily involved when the Eagles face the Cowboys in a crucial NFC East matchup on Sunday Night Football in Week 14.

Hopkins recorded five catches on 12 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Colts. He also recorded one carry for four yards.

Hopkins saw double-digit targets for the fourth time this season and had his most productive showing since Week 8. He did the majority of his damage on a trio of catches that went for 27, 22 and 18 yards. Hopkins also tallied his fifth touchdown of the campaign -- all of which have come since Will Levis took over under center -- on a three-yard reception late in the fourth quarter. The Titans will likely continue to prefer to run their offense through the ground game, but Hopkins has shown he is still capable of putting together strong performances

Samuel caught all four of his targets for 116 yards and two touchdowns while adding 22 rushing yards and another score off of three carries in Sunday's 42-19 win over the Eagles.

Samuel elevated his game for this benchmark matchup between NFC contenders by scoring rushing and receiving touchdowns in the same game for the first time this season. He even handled kickoff returns in place of Ray-Ray McCloud (ribs), gaining 60 yards on two returns. The dual-threat superstar has scored in four consecutive games since returning from San Francisco's Week 9 bye. Samuel's massive performance brings him up to 750 combined yards and seven touchdowns through 10 active games as San Francisco prepares to face Seattle for the second time in three weeks next Sunday.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said after Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Rams that Cooper suffered a concussion during the game, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Cooper was evaluated for a concussion after exiting with a head injury in the second quarter, and Stefanski revealed that those tests confirmed a concussion for the wide receiver. Prior to exiting, Cooper caught three of five targets for 34 yards. He'll have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 14 against the Jaguars.

Pittman recorded 11 receptions on 16 targets for 105 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win over the Titans.

Pittman saw a season-high 16 targets and managed double-digit looks for the eighth time in 12 contests. He also managed his second consecutive 100-yard performance despite his longest gain going for only 14 yards. As is appropriate given Pittman's heavy involvement in the Colts' offense, he also caught a four-yard touchdown pass to win the game in overtime. While he may not have the same ceiling as the most elite pass catchers in the league, Pittman now has at least eight receptions in five straight games and has a very safe floor.

Johnson recorded four receptions on five targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Cardinals.

Johnson made two short catches early in the game and then completely disappeared until late in the fourth quarter. With the Steelers down three scores, he made a 26-yard catch and followed that up with a two-yard touchdown reception two plays later. Johnson has now been held under 50 receiving yards in three of his last four games and could be without Kenny Pickett (ankle) for a Week 14 matchup against New England on Thursday.

Wicks (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Wicks missed the Packers' Week 12 win at Detroit on Thanksgiving due to a concussion and a knee injury. While he made it through the protocol for head injuries as of last Monday, he remained limited in practice during Week 13 prep as a result of the other concern. Now that he's been cleared to play again, Wicks will serve as Green Bay's fourth wide receiver behind Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed (chest).
