Elijah Moore WR | PHI
Browns' Elijah Moore: Does little with targets Sunday
Moore caught three of nine targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 29-12 loss to the Broncos.
He tied tight end David Njoku for the lead in targets among Browns players, but Moore finished only fourth in catches and third in receiving yards. The former Jet has yet to top 60 receiving yards in a game for his new squad and has only one TD in 11 contests, and Cleveland's uncertain QB situation -- rookie starter Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) was replaced by PJ Walker in the third quarter -- leaves Moore with little fantasy appeal heading into a Week 13 clash with the Rams.

Wan'Dale Robinson WR | TEN
Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Remains quiet in Week 12 win
Robinson caught four of five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Patriots.
Robinson didn't register an official rushing attempt, but Tommy DeVito was attempting to hand the ball off to Robinson on a jet sweep when the ball came loose and was recovered by New England to end the Giants' opening possession on a fumble credited to the quarterback. After recording at least five receptions in three of his first four appearances this season, Robinson has come up short of that mark in each of his last six games heading into New York's Week 13 bye.

Xavier Hutchinson WR | HOU
Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Has big play in loss
Hutchinson caught his lone target for 34 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to Jacksonville in Week 12.
Hutchinson had the Texans' longest play, a 34-yard reception in the fourth quarter to set up a Nico Collins touchdown. The rookie has been more involved the last few weeks as wideouts further up the depth chart have dealt with injuries. He's on the lower end of the target pecking order, but given the surge of Houston's passing offense -- 367 yards per game, 10 touchdowns -- the last four weeks, Hutchinson could grab a few leftovers behind Nico Collins, Tank Dell. Dalton Schultz and Robert Woods.

Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Career-best numbers in loss
Tillman caught four of five targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 29-12 loss to the Broncos.
The 2023 third-round pick hauled in more catches for more yardage than he had in his first seven NFL games combined, but all of his production came in the first half with fellow rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center. Thompson-Robinson left the game in the third quarter with a concussion, and the lone pass Tillman saw from PJ Walker afterward fell incomplete. Even if Thompson-Robinson is able to clear the league's protocol and suit up in Week 13 against the Rams, Tillman has yet to show enough consistency to be anything more than a deep-league dart throw for fantasy purposes. The chemistry the duo showed in the first half Sunday was encouraging, however.
-
Robert Woods WR | PIT
Texans' Robert Woods: Three targets in loss
Woods caught two of three targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Jaguars in Week 12.
Woods found himself on the edge of quarterback C.J. Stroud's target distribution. Nico Collins (nine targets) and Tank Dell (eight), each of whom scored a touchdown Sunday, further established themselves as the team leaders at wide receiver. Given the way Noah Brown (knee) performed -- 13 catches, 325 yards, one touchdown -- in the two games leading up his Week 10 injury, a strong case can be made that Woods is fourth on the depth chart when all receivers are healthy.

Marquise Brown WR | PHI
Cardinals' Marquise Brown: Team-high yardage total in loss
Brown secured six of 12 targets for 88 yards in the Cardinals' 37-14 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Brown didn't show any ill effects from the heel injury that had him listed as questionable coming into the contest, leading the Cardinals in receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. The performance was Brown's first productive one in the three games Kyler Murray has been under center, perhaps a harbinger of better chemistry down the stretch for the talented duo. Brown and the Cardinals travel to face the Steelers in a Week 13 interconference battle.
-
Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Modest numbers in Week 12 win
Nacua brought in four of eight targets for 27 yards in the Rams' 37-14 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Nacua and Cooper Kupp curiously combined for only seven catches for 45 yards on an afternoon where Matthew Stafford threw four touchdown passes, with those scores all going to either Kyren Williams or Tyler Higbee. Nacua has now been under 50 receiving yards in three of his past four games, an undesirable stretch he'll aim to snap in a Week 13 home matchup against the Browns.
-
Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Rams' Cooper Kupp: Subdued day in Week 12 win
Kupp brought in three of five targets for 18 yards in the Rams' 37-14 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Kupp was able to come into the day free of an injury designation after overcoming his Week 11 ankle sprain, and although he appeared to be dinged up briefly early in Sunday's contest, he returned and handled a normal workload. However, the majority of the production through the air came via the unlikely duo of Kyren Williams and Tyler Higbee, who accounted for all four of Matthew Stafford's touchdown tosses. Kupp's numbers thus far have been underwhelming, but he'll draw an intriguing home matchup in Week 13 against a Browns defense that's been much more generous against the pass on the road.
-
Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN
Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Manages 81 yards in loss
Chase recorded four receptions on six targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.
Chase was Cincinnati's most-targeted receiver by a narrow margin, but he was by far the team's most productive pass catcher. He made a few highlight reel plays, and his longest gain of the day came on a deflected pass that he collected and turned upfield for 31 yards. Chase later caught a tightly contested pass with his mouthguard in his hand. Though the catches may have come in unique circumstances, the fact that Chase was productive with Jake Browning under center for a full game is reassuring as Cincinnati heads into a Week 13 matchup against the Jaguars.

Amari Cooper WR | LV
Browns' Amari Cooper: X-rays on ribs negative
Coach Kevin Stefanski said after Sunday's 29-12 loss to the Broncos that X-rays on Cooper's rib injury came back negative, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Cooper exited due to a rib injury in the second half after catching two of six targets for 16 yards, but he avoided any broken ribs. These X-ray results suggest Cooper could have a chance to play in Week 13 against the Rams. Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) also left the loss to Denver in the second half, so if Cooper is able to return next week he could be catching passes from PJ Walker.
