  • Packers' Christian Watson: Paces pass catchers in win

    Watson brought in five of seven targets for 49 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Watson set the pace across the board for the Packers' air attack in receptions, receiving yards and targets on a day when Jordan Love completed only 14 passes for 139 yards. Watson arguably boasts the most stable floor of any Green Bay receiver in his team's frequently low-volume passing game for the moment, as he's now recorded 45 receiving yards or more in all five games, while logging at least four targets in each contest as well. Watson could be in for his busiest day yet when the Packers visit the Lions for a Thanksgiving Day showdown.

  • Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Season-best performance

    Smith-Njigba recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 167 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Titans. He added one rush for four yards.

    Smith-Njigba was the only threat in the Seattle passing game, as he accounted for half of Sam Darnold's completions and over two-thirds of his passing yards. That damage came primarily on a pair of receptions over 50 yards, including a 63-yard catch deep down the right sideline to begin the second quarter. The second was a 56-yard grab, which he followed up with a 13-yard score two plays later. Smith-Njigba set a season-high in receiving yards with the performance and now has 100 yards in eight of his 11 contests.

  • Darius Slayton WR | NYG

    Giants' Darius Slayton: One catch in return

    Slayton caught one of two targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 34-27 overtime loss to the Lions.

    Slayton announced his return from a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury with a 23-yard catch on the game's first play, but he didn't catch his only other target the rest of the way. Jameis Winston threw for 366 yards, but Wan'Dale Robinson was Winston's go-to receiver, as Robinson caught nine of 14 targets for 156 yards and a touchdown. Slayton has yet to score a touchdown heading into a Week 13 road game against the Patriots, and he has topped 60 receiving yards only three times, though two of those three games came in Slayton's last two outings prior to his hamstring injury.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Inefficient with nine targets

    Odunze brought in three of nine targets for 53 yards in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

    Odunze was second in receiving yards for the Bears on the afternoon, but his day could have been appreciably bigger with an uptick in efficiency. Nevertheless, the second-year wideout eclipsed 50 receiving yards for the third time in five games, all contests in which he's drawn at least nine targets. Odunze should be busy again in a Week 13 road matchup against the Eagles on Black Friday.

  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Bears' DJ Moore: Two-TD tally in high-scoring win

    Moore brought in five of seven targets for 64 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

    In what has been a rare instance this season, Moore outperformed fellow wideout Rome Odunze on the afternoon, leading the Bears in receptions and receiving yards while checking in second to his teammate in targets. Moore also was the only one of the two to get into the end zone, recording touchdowns of five and 25 yards in the first and third quarter, respectively. The veteran wideout hadn't scored since Week 3 prior to Sunday, and his performance snapped an ugly two-game funk during which he'd recorded just one catch for 18 yards on seven targets. Moore and the Bears' air attack draw a tough Week 13 matchup on Black Friday, when they'll travel to face the defending champion Eagles.

  • Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: Hauls in late TD in Sunday's loss

    Tinsley caught two of six targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Patriots.

    With Ja'Marr Chase serving a one-game suspension and Tee Higgins (concussion) getting knocked out of the game late, Tinsley ended up doubling his target total on the season while hauling in his second TD of 2025 on a 17-yard toss from Joe Flacco. The Bengals' passing game could look very different in Week 13 if Joe Burrow (toe) is ready to return, but a potential Higgins absence could leave Tinsley with a larger role than usual once again in a Thanksgiving tilt against the Ravens.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Leading receiver in Week 12 win

    Flowers caught five of six targets for 58 yards and rushed twice for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Jets.

    Flowers accounted for 58 of Lamar Jackson's 153 passing yards while no teammate exceeded 30 receiving yards. The shifty wide receiver is the top option in Baltimore's passing game, but the Ravens haven't gotten much going through the air in recent weeks, as Jackson has just one passing touchdown over the past three games while throwing for fewer than 200 yards in each of those outings. Flowers has caught 58 of 77 targets for 761 yards but has only one touchdown heading into Thursday's home game against the Bengals on Thanksgiving night.

  • Colts' Michael Pittman: Offsets quiet day with TD

    Pittman brought in five of eight targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 23-20 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    The veteran receiver tied with Tyler Warren for the team lead in receptions and set the pace in targets, although Pittman finished with his second consecutive sub-30-yard tally. The sixth-year pro did find the end zone for the seventh time this season on a six-yard grab in the first quarter, and Pittman has now drawn at least eight targets in four of the last five contests. The veteran wideout draws a tough matchup again in Week 13, as a talented Texans defense drops in for a key divisional clash.

  • Andrei Iosivas WR | CIN

    Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Leading receiver in Week 12 loss

    Iosivas caught four of seven targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Patriots. He added five rushing yards on his lone carry.

    While Tee Higgins (concussion) led Cincinnati with five catches, Iosivas paced the team in receiving yards and was on the other end of Joe Flacco's longest completion of the day at 19 yards. The team's passing game could look very different in Week 13 if Joe Burrow (toe) is ready to return and Ja'Marr Chase having served his one-game suspension, but Iosivas could still operate as the team's No. 2 wideout for a Thanksgiving clash with the Ravens if Higgins remains in the concussion protocol. Through 11 games this season, Iosivas has a 23-317-1 line on 42 targets.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Just two grabs in Week 12 win

    Diggs caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Bengals.

    Quarterback Drake Maye focused most of his attention on veteran tight end Hunter Henry, who erupted for a 7-115-1 line on 10 targets, while Diggs' two catches actually tied for the team lead among Patriots' wideouts. The three targets also tied for his season low, but Diggs has still caught multiple passes in every game this season, en route a 61-679-3 line on 75 targets through 12 contests. He'll look to bounce back in Week 13 against the Giants.
