Darnell Mooney WR | ATL
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Targeted seven times in Week 11
Mooney caught three of seven targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers.
Sunday's contest marked just the second time that Mooney caught multiple passes in a game since Week 7. The veteran wideout has been a major disappointment this season, but he has the opportunity to turn things around with Drake London (knee) considered week-to-week due to a sprained PCL suffered in Week 11. Mooney will step into the No. 1 spot on the depth chart as a result, but he'll be catching passes from quarterback Kirk Cousins, as Michael Penix (knee) is on injured reserve.

Jack Bech WR | LV
Raiders' Jack Bech: Makes 19-yard grab on MNF
Bech caught his lone target for 19 yards in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.
Bech picked up a first down on his 19-yard reception in the first quarter of Monday's tilt, but he was relatively uninvolved thereafter, ultimately finishing the game with a 15 percent offensive snap share behind fellow receivers Tre Tucker, Tyler Lockett and Dont'e Thornton. Meanwhile, tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty combined for 20 targets, further limiting Bech's opportunities within this struggling Raiders offense.

Dont'e Thornton Jr. WR | LV
Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Not targeted in loss
Thornton was not targeted in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.
Thornton logged 38 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps behind fellow receivers Tre Tucker and Tyler Lockett on Monday, but quarterback Geno Smith didn't look Thornton's way. Meanwhile, fellow rookie Jack Bech hauled in his lone target for 19 yards before returning to a reserve role. Through nine games played this season, Thornton owns a disappointing 6-98-0 receiving line.

David Sills WR | ATL
Falcons' David Sills: One catch in loss
Sills caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers.
The 29-year-old played 37 of the Falcons' 66 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Drake London (knee) and Darnell Mooney. Sills has had an underwhelming 2025 campaign, recording just four catches on nine targets for 34 yards through 10 games. With London considered week-to-week with a sprained PCL, Sills should see an uptick in targets, but fantasy managers would be wise to take a wait-and-see approach with Atlanta's entire passing game, as Kirk Cousins is set to take over as the starting quarterback with Michael Penix (knee) on injured reserve.

Tez Johnson WR | TB
Buccaneers' Tez Johnson: Minimal production on four touches
Johnson brought in one of three targets for six yards and rushed three times for no gain in the Buccaneers' 44-32 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Despite Chris Godwin (fibula) logging another absence and Johnson logging the second-most snaps (58) among the Bucs' wide receivers, the latter couldn't extend what had been a productive five-game run. The rookie's 18-247-4 line on 27 targets in that span appeared to be a distant memory against a stingy Bills secondary, and if Godwin, who practiced on a limited basis during Week 11 prep, manages to suit up for a Week 12 Sunday night road showdown with the Rams, Johnson could be relegated to a No. 4 receiver role in that contest.

Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Raiders' Tyler Lockett: Gains 33 yards on MNF
Lockett (knee) had three receptions on as many targets for 33 yards in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.
Lockett picked up a minor knee injury in last week's loss to the Broncos, but he was able to practice in a limited fashion and suit up for Monday Night Football. The veteran wideout finished third on the team in receiving yardage and fourth in targets while starting alongside Tre Tucker. In the two games since Jakobi Meyers was traded to the Jaguars, Lockett is averaging 4.0 receptions and 38.5 yards, numbers that could draw interest from those in deeper PPR formats. Managers operating in standard leagues can probably do better than Lockett in a brutal matchup against the Browns on Sunday.

Tre Tucker WR | LV
Raiders' Tre Tucker: Hits pay dirt Monday
Tucker brought in four of eight targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-16 loss to Dallas.
Tucker experienced greater success in his second game operating as the Raiders' top wideout after cashing in his team's only touchdown of the evening. It was the 24-year-old's first trip to the end zone since scoring thrice back in Week 3, and the eight targets also were the most he's garnered since that standout performance. Tucker was already providing a solid floor for fantasy managers prior to Las Vegas dealing Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville at the trade deadline. Even with the Raiders struggling on offense this season, Tucker's increased role should keep him in the mix as a flex option for Week 12 and beyond.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Second touchdown of season
Lamb recorded five receptions (on seven targets) for 66 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.
Lamb was sidelined for the Cowboys' opening possession for disciplinary reasons per Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com, but he rebounded for a solid effort. George Pickens led the team in targets, receptions and yards, though Lamb still managed to make an impact with an 18-yard touchdown early in the first quarter while also logging another long gain of 23 yards. While Pickens may be the preferred option occasionally, Lamb has been very steady by logging at least 65 yards with two scores across four games since he returned from a sprained ankle.

George Pickens WR | DAL
Cowboys' George Pickens: Excellent showing against Raiders
Pickens recorded nine catches (on 11 targets) for 144 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.
Pickens was sidelined for the opening possession of Monday's win for disciplinary reasons, per Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com, though that didn't slow him down. He had a determined effort thereafter, showcasing his athleticism and tackle-breaking ability with catches of 37, 21, 19 and 17 yards -- the longest of which went for a touchdown. This marked Pickens' third 100-yard effort of the season, and he now has at least 75 receiving yards in five consecutive contests.

Jahan Dotson WR | PHI
Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Two catches in win
Dotson caught a pair of passes for 43 yards in Sunday's 16-9 victory over the Lions.
Dotson's second catch of the day, a 34-yard reception down the sideline after Jalen Hurts was forced out of the pocket, helped dig the Eagles out of tough field position on their own four-yard line late in the fourth quarter. He's made the occasional key play for the Eagles this season and is averaging an impressive 19.4 yards per catch, but he's caught a total of just 10 passes in 10 games. Sunday's contest marked just the second time all year that he's caught multiple passes.
