Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Finishes third in receiving yards
Smith-Njigba had three receptions on six targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Rams.
Smith-Njigba would have had a fourth reception for 22 additional yards had the Rams not challenged the wideout's diving attempt in the first quarter and had the call correctly changed to an incompletion. Still, it was another solid outing from Seattle's slot receiver, who is averaging four receptions and 50.5 yards in six games since the team's bye in Week 5. Smith-Njigba should continue providing consistent value to managers in deeper leagues when the Seahawks host the 49ers for Thursday Night Football in Week 12.

Brandon Aiyuk WR | SF
49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Huge day against Bucs
Aiyuk caught five of six targets for 156 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Buccaneers.
Despite the relatively low target volume, the fourth-year wideout set a new career high in receiving yards on the day, highlighted by a 76-yard TD catch from Brock Purdy early in the third quarter. Aiyuk has delivered triple-digit yardage in four of nine games so far in 2023, and he's on pace to shatter last year's career-best 1,015 yards.

Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Gains 51 yards in loss
Lockett (hamstring) finished with five receptions on seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Rams.
Lockett has been dealing with a bum hamstring for several weeks, but his status appeared to truly be questionable leading up to Sunday's eventual start. The Seattle stalwart wound up providing an average fantasy line for managers who rolled the dice on his health. Lockett completed Sunday's contest without any setbacks, but it wouldn't be surprising to see his name remain on the injury report for the upcoming short practice week leading up to Thursday's matchup against the 49ers.

Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Six grabs against Niners
Godwin caught six of seven targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the 49ers.
The wideout tied Rachaad White for the team lead in receptions, but Godwin was only fourth in yardage as his longest grab went for only 11 yards. He hasn't shown the same chemistry with new quarterback Baker Mayfield this season that Mike Evans has, and while Godwin has caught at least five passes in seven of 10 games so far in 2023, he has only one TD and is on pace to fall short of 1,000 yards over a full campaign for the first time since 2018.

Mike Evans WR | SF
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Hauls in red-zone TD in loss
Evans caught five of 12 targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the 49ers.
The veteran receiver was on the other end of a one-yard TD toss from Baker Mayfield right before halftime, but it was otherwise a tough day for Evans despite the fact that he saw a season high in targets. He's been his usual productive self in 2023, scoring seven touchdowns in 10 games including four in the last five contests, and Evans is on pace for his fifth career season with double-digit scores as well as his best receiving yards total since 2018.

Marquise Brown WR | PHI
Cardinals' Marquise Brown: Minimal production in Week 11 loss
Brown brought in two of five targets for 18 yards in the Cardinals' 21-16 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Brown was third on the Cardinals in targets, but the matchup against a Texans defense adept at limiting wide receiver production got the best of the speedy wideout. Brown has brought in just three of nine targets for 46 yards in the two games he's played with Kyler Murray thus far, but given the previous rapport between the two, that inefficiency could begin to wane beginning with a favorable Week 12 home matchup against the Rams.

Greg Dortch WR | BUF
Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Surprisingly productive in loss
Dortch brought in six of eight targets for 76 yards in the Cardinals' 21-16 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 23 yards and one punt for three yards.
Dortch was the surprise leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon for the Cardinals after coming into the game with one catch for two yards on the season. Michael Wilson's absence due to a shoulder injury helped open the door for Dortch's sudden boost in volume, and it remains to be seen if the surge in production will have any carryover into a Week 12 home matchup against the Rams if Wilson returns.
