Cooper caught four of eight targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Steelers.

Cooper was held to his third-fewest yards, which may be a theme the rest of the year as the Browns roll with rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson in place of the injured Deshaun Watson (shoulder). The offensive game plan called for short passes, a radical change for Cooper who has a career-high aDOT of 15.5 yards in 2023 while mostly hauling in passes from the big arm of Watson. As Thompson-Robinson acclimates as the starting quarterback -- it's his job to lose with Watson done for the season -- the Browns may take more chances downfield, and their leading receiver could become more fantasy friendly.

Moore caught six of seven targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over Pittsburgh.

In a defensive affair, Moore led all pass catchers from either side with a season-high 60 receiving yards, including a 15-yard grab from rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson that kicked off the drive that led to the game-winning field goal. Sunday's game plan in the absence of Deshaun Watson (shoulder) called for a lot of short passes, which benefited Moore out of the slot, and the usual reliance on the running backs. As DTR grows more comfortable under center, perhaps head coach Kevin Stefanski will open up the playbook. Cleveland added Joe Flacco to its practice squad this week, and his experienced arm could be a factor later in the season if the rookie falters.

Diggs caught four of eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 32-6 win over the Jets.

The eight targets actually led the Bills, but they didn't turn into much production. Diggs has been quiet to begin the second half of the season, catching only seven of 13 targets for 61 yards and zero TDs over the last two games, but he could break out in Week 12 against an Eagles secondary that's been one of the most generous in the league this season against wideouts.

Jeudy turned seven targets into five receptions for 58 yards in Sunday's 21-20 win over Minnesota.

Jeudy's seven targets tied backup running back Samaje Perine for the team lead Sunday, but it was fellow wideout Courtland Sutton who cashed in Denver's lone touchdown for the premier fantasy line. Jeudy did make the highlight reel on one of his five receptions when he appeared to fake a lateral to his right, before euro-stepping to his left while passing the puzzled defender for a decent gain. It is unclear whether the skilled route runner planned this move in advance, or if the unconventional tactic from an entirely different sport was performed on a whim. Either way, Jeudy will remain a deep-league option when the Broncos take on the Browns next Sunday.

Shakir caught three of four targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-6 win over the Jets.

Most of the yardage came on Shakir's 81-yard TD midway through the third quarter, and the second-year wideout produced his first career 100-yard game while scoring his third career NFL touchdown and first since Week 2. It was an encouraging initial performance under new offensive coordinator Joe Brady, but Shakir has still seen more than four targets in a game only once this season, and until that volume increases he'll be tough to rely on in shallower fantasy formats.

Wilson caught two of eight targets for nine yards in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills.

Jets coach Robert Saleh finally got frustrated with Zach Wilson's inability to move the ball consistently and turned to backup Tim Boyle in the second half, but neither signal-caller was able to connect downfield with the team's top wideout. It was Garrett's worst production of the season, and the elbow injury he picked up last week may have also been a factor. The performance snapped a streak of four straight games in which he'd seen at least 12 targets and turned them into at least 80 yards. Wilson hasn't gotten into the end zone since Week 2 though, and the turmoil under center for New York will give the second-year receiver some extra risk in Week 12 against Miami.

Addison secured three of six targets for 44 yards in the Vikings' 21-20 loss to the Broncos on Sunday night.

Addison finished third in receiving yards despite checking in second in targets for the Vikings on the night, as he took a rare back seat to multiple pass catchers in a game that was played with Justin Jefferson (hamstring) still unavailable. Addison's catch and yardage tallies were his lowest over the last five games, and with Jefferson potentially set to return for a Week 12 Monday night clash against the Bears on Nov. 27, Addison could soon officially slot back into a No. 2 role.

Samuel caught three of four targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Buccaneers.

The 49ers' target tree was incredibly narrow in this one, as only four players caught a pass, with Samuel coming in fourth in that group. He still managed to post his second-highest yardage total of the season thanks to a 40-yard grab in the third quarter that helped set up the team's final points of the day. Samuel's had a disappointing season so far, but if he can stay healthy he could put together a productive run given San Francisco's favorable closing schedule, which includes a trip to Seattle in Week 12.

Sutton hauled in four of his five targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-20 victory over the Vikings.

Sutton made the play of the game when he leaped over his defender after running a corner route to grab a lob from Russell Wilson for the game-winning score. The QB/WR duo have already connected in the red zone a whopping eight times this season, resulting in all eight of Sutton's touchdowns through 10 games. The 28-year-old has still yet to eclipse the century mark in receiving yards in any game this year, which might suggest that the wideout's current high ranking in fantasy is being inflated by an unsustainable touchdown rate. That caveat aside, Sutton should continue to be deployed confidently in fantasy lineups, even with a tough matchup against the Browns looming next Sunday.

Atwell caught just one of his three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 17-16 win over Seattle.

Cooper Kupp (ankle) went down to injury in the first half and did not return to Sunday's contest. Puka Nacua dusted off his Kupp mask from earlier this year and went to work in the star's absence with a 5-70-1 line, but Atwell actually saw his targets decrease from the seven he received last week while Kupp was playing. The Rams will likely provide an update on the latter's status early in Week 12 after the medical staff examines his ankle. If Kupp is sidelined for next Sunday's matchup against Arizona, then Atwell will likely elevate into the starting lineup and receive a bump in value for as long as that scenario sticks.
