  • Xavier Gipson WR | PHI

    Jets' Xavier Gipson: Early fumble sets tone in loss

    Gipson caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills. He also returned four kickoffs for 76 yards and lost a fumble.

    The last time these two AFC East rivals faced off, Gipson ended the game with a punt return touchdown in overtime in his NFL debut. His first return opportunity Sunday was far less successful, as Gipson fumbled on the opening kickoff. That miscue set the tone for a disastrous all-around performance from the Jets, who suffered a third consecutive loss to fall to 4-6.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Steelers' Allen Robinson: Logs three receptions Sunday

    Robinson secured three of four targets for 20 yards during the Steelers' 13-10 loss to Cleveland on Sunday.

    Robinson had totaled just two receptions for 17 yards during the first four games after the Steelers' Week 6 bye. While he was slightly more productive Sunday, he had limited fantasy production and is unlikely to have much upside unless the Steelers' offense drastically improves to close out the regular season.

  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Steelers' George Pickens: Racks up 38 yards in loss

    Pickens secured four of six targets for 38 yards while rushing once for minus-one yard during the Steelers' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Pickens led the Steelers in receptions and receiving yards during Sunday's matchup but was unable to generate much fantasy production in the low-scoring matchup. He's been a somewhat inconsistent contributor since Pittsburgh's Week 6 bye, securing 15 of 28 targets for 211 yards and a touchdown over the past five matchups.

  • Robbie Chosen WR | WAS

    Dolphins' Robbie Chosen: Logs two catches vs. Raiders

    Chosen secured both of his targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 20-13 win over Las Vegas.

    Chosen had an impactful 30-yard catch in his first appearance with the Dolphins since Week 6. Prior to Sunday's game against the Raiders, he had been re-signed to the practice squad and elevated after previously being waived. While Chosen has occasionally made big plays for Miami this season, he's only utilized as a reserve wideout on a sporadic basis. That stands to remain the same during Friday's road matchup against the Jets.

  • Steven Sims WR | ARI

    Texans' Steven Sims: Two targets in win

    Sims caught both of his targets for 25 yards and returned two punts for 16 yards in Sunday's 21-16 win over Arizona in Week 11.

    Sims made his season debut for the Texans, who were without Noah Brown (knee) , and was targeted on both his offensive snaps. He was one of six active wide receivers, as Houston dressed just two tight ends. Sims, who had one of six C.J. Stroud pass completions that went for more than 20 yards, would need several injuries to move into a position where he could be a fantasy contributor.

  • Rams' Austin Trammell: Sees big usage in win

    Trammell caught three of six targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 17-16 victory against the Seahawks. He also returned four punts for 30 yards.

    Despite being primarily used as a special-teams player by the Rams through most of the season, Trammell saw a significant amount of action Sunday when Cooper Kupp (ankle) went down with an injury. Trammell's 46 snaps from scrimmage more than tripled the amount of snaps he had taken on offense all season (13), and was more than his fellow backups Ben Skowronek (nine) and Demarcus Robinson (seven) had combined. Trammell's six targets were also just one less than Puka Nacua and Darrell Henderson, and an expanded role may be available for the versatile wideout if Kupp were to miss any additional time.

  • Dolphins' Cedrick Wilson: Hauls in three passes

    Wilson brought in three of four targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Raiders.

    Wilson and Robbie Chosen split No. 3 receiver reps behind top targets Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle versus Las Vegas. While Wilson had scored in two straight games leading up to Miami's bye, he logged his highest catch total since Week 5 versus the Raiders. It was also just his fourth time this season with at least 20 receiving yards. Wilson stands to handle a similar depth role on the road Friday versus the Jets.

  • Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Makes most of limited snaps

    Robinson caught both of his targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 17-16 victory against the Seahawks.

    Despite earning just seven snaps on offense, the veteran wideout made the most of his scant time on the field with a 23-yard catch early in the fourth quarter, which was the start of a key touchdown drive that helped the Rams pull off the comeback victory. Cooper Kupp (ankle) went down with injury during the game, and if he were to miss any time, Robinson, Ben Skowronek and Austin Trammell would likely see an expanded role behind starters Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell.

  • James Proche WR | TEN

    Browns' James Proche: No run on offense

    Proche did not play on offense and had three punt returns for 37 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Steelers.

    Proche, who is operating as the No. 5 wideout while Marquise Goodwin (concussion) is unavailable, has taken hold as the primary punt returner. He had a long return of 21 yards that put Cleveland's offense in business on the Pittsburgh side of the field in the third quarter, but an interception ended that threat. In three games on the active roster, Proche has one target and 10 punt returns for 92 yards.

  • Browns' Cedric Tillman: Ten combined yards in win

    Tillman caught one of two targets for two yards and had one carry for eight yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over Pittsburgh.

    Tillman continued to see ample time on the field -- this was his second consecutive week with 66 snaps -- but his impact has been limited. Sunday's two touches and 10 combined yards were seasons highs for the rookie, and the switch from Deshaun Watson (shoulder) to rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center likely won't make much of a difference for Tillman.
