Mims caught two of three targets for 24 yards and rushed once for 11 yards in Sunday's 29-12 win over the Browns.

Sunday marked Mims' second straight week with two grabs on three targets, but head coach Sean Payton does seem to be making an effort to get the rookie more involved in the offense. Before the Broncos' Week 9 bye, the speedy wideout was averaging just a 29 percent offensive snap share. In three games since the bye, his snap share average has increased to 57 percent. As is the case with many rookie receivers, it's possible that Mims could push for more opportunities as the season progresses. Even so, the 21-year-old won't make for a trustworthy fantasy option in Week 13 against the Texans.

Guyton recorded one catch for four yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Ravens.

Guyton struggled to put up a solid game stats-wise even after a Week 10 season-high (4-41-1), but he was still third in targets and tied a season high in offensive snaps with 53. That number was likely aided by the third-quarter injury to rookie Quentin Johnston (ribs), but it's unclear if he would have been able to return. Additionally, receiver Joshua Palmer (knee) could return in the ensuing weeks, as he's already exceeded his mandated four-game absence after landing on injured reserve earlier in November. With head coach Brandon Staley reportedly unhappy with Johnston's play, it's possible Guyton could elevate to the team's No. 2 receiver for as long as Palmer is out, but fantasy managers should try and wait out the ambiguity before making appropriate roster moves.

Kirkwood played 25 of the Saints' 72 snaps on offense and finished with two catches for 20 yards on three targets in Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Falcons.

Re-signed during the Saints' Week 11 bye after New Orleans lost Michael Thomas (knee) to injured reserve, Kirkwood ended up stepping into a more prominent role than anticipated Sunday. Kirkwood saw elevated snaps in part due to starting wideouts Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (quadriceps) exiting early due to injuries, but the 28-year-old was still able to outpace fellow reserve receivers A.T. Perry (one catch for seven yards on two targets) and Lynn Bowden (no catches on two targets) in terms of production. With Thomas on IR for at least three more games and Olave and Shaheed perhaps at risk of missing time, Kirkwood could have a path to a top-three role at receiver Week 13 against the Lions.

Jefferson caught one of two passes for 13 yards during Sunday's 24-15 win over the Saints.

Jefferson was one of six Falcons to catch a pass, but only Drake London (seven) and Bijan Robinson (six) saw more than two targets as Desmond Ridder attempted just 21 passes. In six games with Atlanta, Jefferson has caught six of 16 targets for 56 yards. He's carved out a depth role with his new squad, but given the Falcons' passing struggles, Jefferson doesn't need to be rostered in standard leagues.

Osborn played 47 of the Vikings' 55 snaps on offense and finished with three catches for 34 yards on four targets in Monday's 12-10 loss to the Bears.

Even though the Vikings opted not to activate standout receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) from injured reserve ahead of Monday's contest, Osborn still ranked just third among Minnesota pass catchers in targets, trailing fellow wideout Jordan Addison (10) and tight end T.J. Hockenson (six). With Jefferson seemingly trending toward a return to the lineup Dec. 10 against Las Vegas following the Vikings' Week 13 bye, Osborn will be pushed down another spot in the pass-catching hierarchy.

Jeudy brought in two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 29-12 win over the Browns.

Jeudy's 11 yards accounted for his lowest total of the season. Additionally, the veteran wideout saw his second-lowest snap share of the campaign, as he was on the field for just 61 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Sunday. With Marvin Mims' playing time increasing in recent weeks, it's possible that Jeudy could cede some opportunities to the rookie. Both Jeudy and Mims saw three targets against Cleveland. It also appears that teammate Courtland Sutton, who has out-targeted Jeudy 22 to 13 since Denver's Week 9 bye, has become the preferred option for quarterback Russell Wilson. Nonetheless, Jeudy will look to bounce back in a Week 13 matchup against the Texans.

Mooney caught two passes for six yards in the Bears' 12-10 win over the Vikings on Monday.

Mooney was reasonably productive when Tyson Bagent was the starting quarterback. In the last two games with Justin Fields under center, Mooney has three catches for 30 yards on four targets. His low floor and limited upside makes him difficult to count on each week.

Addison secured six of 10 targets for 39 yards in the Vikings' 12-10 loss to the Bears on Monday.

Addison led the Vikings in receptions and targets but finished third in receiving yards. Outside of his 14-yard grab, Addison averaged only 5.0 yards per reception, leading to his lowest tally in that category since his first encounter with the Bears back in Week 6. Justin Jefferson (hamstring) should have a good chance of returning to action for Minnesota's Week 14 road matchup against the Raiders following a Week 13 bye, so Addison could well see a downturn in targets beginning with that game.

Moore brought in 11 of 13 targets for 114 yards in the Bears' 12-10 win over the Vikings on Monday.

The veteran wideout was the epitome of a No. 1 receiver in the low-scoring win, accounting for well over half of Justin Fields' 217 passing yards while leading the Bears in receptions and targets by a wide margin as well. Moore also saved his best for last, recording 16- and 36-yard grabs on what would turn out to be Chicago's game-winning drive. Moore's catch total was a season high, and his yardage tally was his first over the century mark since Week 5. Following the Week 13 bye, Moore gets a crack at a Lions defense he posted a 7-96-1 line against during the first meeting between the division rivals.

Philips recorded one catch on two targets for negative three yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Panthers.

Philips saw a season-low snap rate on offense of 23 percent and was on the field for only 12 snaps. As a result, he was limited to only one catch for the second consecutive game and for the fourth time in seven contests this season.
