  • Jets' Isaiah Williams: Touches limited to special teams

    Williams had four kickoff returns for 122 yards and three punt returns for 23 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Williams didn't get a touch on offense as his usage on that side of the ball faded, but he contributed significantly on special teams. Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) played through a questionable tag but returned only one kickoff while Williams served as the primary kickoff returner in addition to the depth wideout's usual role returning punts. Williams' fantasy value is confined to formats that reward return yards.

  • Arian Smith WR | NYJ

    Jets' Arian Smith: Not targeted in Week 12

    Smith rushed once for eight yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Smith hasn't seen many opportunities since the Jets traded for wide receivers John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell, as the rookie fourth-round pick has gone three consecutive games without a target. Smith has promising speed but hasn't exceeded two touches on offense in any game.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Continues to thrive as No. 1 WR

    Wilson hauled in 10 of 15 targets for 118 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to Jacksonville.

    Wilson is taking full advantage of teammate Marvin Harrison's (appendix) continued absence, with the former producing his second 100-plus yard performance in his second game operating as Arizona's top wideout. The ascension of veteran backup Jacoby Brissett's game since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot) can also be attributed to Wilson's rapid rise in the fantasy ranks. It is unclear how long Harrison will remained sidelined while recovering from appendix surgery, but it has become clear that Wilson should be treated as a must-start option in fantasy until that day comes. Harrison hasn't been ruled out for next Sunday's tilt in Tampa Bay, but there is reason to believe that Wilson could remain fantasy relevant even after his teammate's return given the way the Cardinals are airing the ball out.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Jets' Allen Lazard: One catch in Week 12

    Lazard caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

    John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell tied for the team lead with seven targets apiece from Tyrod Taylor, while Lazard was the only other Jets wide receiver to earn a target. Lazard has yet to exceed 16 receiving yards in a game this season, so he'll likely remain a fantasy nonfactor in Week 13 against the Falcons, regardless of whether Taylor or Justin Fields starts at quarterback.

  • Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Minimal role in passing game

    Zaccheaus caught one pass for six yards on one target in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

    Zaccheaus has been held to five or fewer yards in three straight contests and saw only one target in Week 12. With Luther Burden now operating ahead of him in three-receiver sets, Zaccheaus' reduced usage leaves him as a deep-league depth option.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Leading receiver on 13 targets

    Olave had nine receptions on 13 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Falcons.

    Olave stayed hot coming out of the Saints' bye week despite his team finding itself back in the loss column after beating the Panthers in Week 10. The 25-year-old generated a stellar PPR score on the backs of his second-highest target and reception totals of 2025. The Ohio State product continues to display a good rapport with rookie QB Tyler Shough, with the duo producing 17 receptions for 231 yards and a touchdown in the three games the latter has started this season. Olave should be treated as a starting-caliber receiver with a high fantasy floor in next Sunday's road tilt against Miami.

  • Isaiah Bond WR | CLE

    Browns' Isaiah Bond: Catches deep ball from Sanders

    Bond caught both of his targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Raiders.

    Bond and Shedeur Sanders linked up for a 52-yard deep ball in the first quarter, which was two yards short of being Bond's first NFL touchdown but helped Bond tie his single-game career high in receiving yards. No other Browns wide receiver had more than one catch, so Cleveland's entire passing game will be tough to trust in Week 13 against the 49ers, regardless of whether Sanders or Dillon Gabriel (concussion) starts under center.

  • Isaiah Hodgins WR | NYG

    Giants' Isaiah Hodgins: Secures TD in loss to Detroit

    Hodgins caught two of six targets for 42 yards and one touchdown in the Giants' 34-27 overtime loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Hodgins' six targets were a distant second on the team behind Wan'Dale Robinson's 14 looks from Jameis Winston. Hodgins, however, did find the end zone from 12 yards out in the second quarter to give the Giants a 17-7 lead. Hodgins has drawn six targets in back-to-back games since signing with the team off the Steelers' practice squad. He appears to be locked into three-wide sets alongside Robinson and Darius Slayton, as the Giants seem to again be moving away from Jalin Hyatt.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Quiet in loss to Kansas City

    Pierce caught one of two targets for 26 yards in the Colts' 23-20 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    The 26 yards marked a new single-game low for Pierce this season after he'd posted at least 67 receiving yards in six of his last seven contests. His two targets tied TE3 Drew Ogletree for fifth on the Colts against Kansas City. Pierce will look for a rebound game in another tough draw next Sunday against a stingy Texans defense.

  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Blanked on three targets

    Williams failed to haul in any of his three targets during the Lions' 34-27 overtime loss to the Giants on Sunday.

    Williams logged at least four catches, six targets and a touchdown in each of his last three games prior to Week 12. However, the fourth-year wideout wasn't able to carry that momentum into Sunday's game, as Jared Goff frequently looked toward Amon-Ra St. Brown (12 targets) and Jahmyr Gibbs (11 targets) in the passing game. Williams appeared to get on the board with a 36-yard catch early in the third quarter, but it was negated by a penalty on offensive lineman Graham Glasgow. Sunday marked the second time this season that Williams did not record a catch, and he'll look to bounce back in the Lions' Thanksgiving Day game against the Packers.
