Wan'Dale Robinson WR | TEN
Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Racks up 156 yards in Week 12
Robinson caught nine of 14 targets for 156 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 overtime loss to the Lions. He also rushed once for no gain.
Robinson got behind the defense for a 39-yard touchdown catch on a flea flicker to cap the opening drive. That score was part of a sensational first quarter that also included a 40-yard reception and the NFL's version of an NBA and-one, on which Robinson held on for a 15-yard catch that also drew an unnecessary roughness penalty on Brian Branch. Robinson caught all four of his first-quarter targets for 106 yards and a touchdown, then tacked on five catches for 50 yards on 10 targets the rest of the way. He has drawn 45 targets over the past four games, so Robinson should continue to see plenty of volume against the Patriots in Week 13, regardless of whether Winston or Jaxson Dart (concussion) starts under center for the Giants.

Justin Jefferson WR | MIN
Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Four catches in Week 12 loss
Jefferson brought in four of six targets for 48 yards in the Vikings' 23-6 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
It's small consolation for Jefferson's frustrated fantasy managers, but the star wideout either tied for the lead (receptions) or set the pace (receiving yards, targets) for the Vikings on the afternoon in all three major receiving categories. However, J.J. McCarthy's continued struggles led to Jefferson's third sub-50-yard effort in the last four contests, and there presently doesn't appear to be any light at the end of the tunnel for Minnesota's air attack. Jefferson's next matchup doesn't offer any solace, either, considering a Week 13 road matchup against the daunting Seahawks defense awaits next Sunday.

Tee Higgins WR | CIN
Bengals' Tee Higgins: Sustains concussion Sunday
Higgins won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots after sustaining a concussion.
Prior to being carted off the field, Higgins caught five of his six targets for 31 yards. With Ja'Marr Chase (suspension) unavailable, the Bengals' WR depth is being put to the test as Sunday's game winds down. Higgins will now look to gain medical clearance ahead of Thursday's contest against the Ravens.

Kalif Raymond WR | CHI
Lions' Kalif Raymond: Won't return to Week 12 matchup
Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Giants.
Raymond was hurt on a play during which he made a seven-yard reception late in the third quarter. The veteran wideout was then ruled out early in the fourth. Raymond caught both of his targets for 37 yards prior to his exit. He also returned a punt for 44 yards.

Kalif Raymond WR | CHI
Lions' Kalif Raymond: Injures ankle Sunday
Raymond suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Giants.
Raymond remained on the turf for a spell at the end of a late third-quarter play and eventually was deemed questionable to return. He gathered in both of his targets for 37 yards prior to his exit.

Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL
Cowboys' Jonathan Mingo: Active for first time this season
Mingo is active for Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Eagles.
Mingo had been a healthy scratch for the three games that had transpired since he came off injured reserve ahead of Week 8, but he'll break that streak Sunday while fellow wideout Jalen Tolbert is inactive for the first time this season. Despite his availability against Philadelphia, Mingo isn't slated for a sizable role, considering he projects as the No. 5 receiver behind the top quartet of CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin.

Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA
Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Surprise inactive Sunday
Tolbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Eagles.
Tolbert's profile in the offense had been steadily trending down coming into Sunday, as he'd played fewer than 20 percent of the offensive snaps in three straight games. His downturn has now culminated in his first healthy scratch since his 2022 rookie campaign, per

Casey Washington WR | ATL
Falcons' Casey Washington: Healthy scratch vs. NOLA
Washington (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Even with Drake London (knee) sidelined for Sunday's game, Washington will be a healthy scratch for Week 12, with the latter seeing less playing time on offense as of late. With London and Washington inactive, the Falcons will go with five active wide receivers in Darnell Mooney, David Sills, KhaDarel Hodge, Jamal Agnew and Dylan Drummond. Washington's next chance to play is Week 13 against the Jets on Sunday, Nov. 30.

Brian Thomas Jr. WR | JAC
Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Good chance for Week 13 return
Thomas (ankle), who won't play Sunday against the Cardinals, has a good chance to return to action in Week 13 versus the Titans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Per Pelissero, Thomas -- who last played in Week 9 -- is getting close to a return after having logged limited three straight limited practices ahead of Week 12 action. In his absence versus Arizona, Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Tim Patrick are on track to lead the Jaguars WR corps.

Brandon Aiyuk WR | SF
49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Could still play for team in 2025
The 49ers remain committed to getting Aiyuk (knee) "healthy and back on the field" in 2025, even though the team had approximately $27 million in guarantees for the 2026 season voided in his contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Dianna Russini and Michael Silver of The Athletic broke the news Friday about Aiyuk's guaranteed money for 2026 being voided after the 49ers asserted that he failed to fulfill contractual obligations, but head coach Kyle Shanahan noted Saturday that the financial maneuver happened back in late July, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Shanahan didn't offer many specifics regarding what led to the team's decision to void the guaranteed money, but the coach acknowledged that Aiyuk remains engaged with the team and was at the 49ers' facility doing rehab work for his surgically repaired right knee as recently as Friday. While the 49ers remain optimistic Aiyuk will contribute at some point this season, a target date for his potential debut won't become clearer until the team opens his 21-day practice window. If Aiyuk doesn't end up playing before the season ends, his time in San Francisco could well be over, as the 49ers may be keen on moving on from the wideout during the offseason. A trade would likely be the preferred route if the 49ers part ways with Aiyuk; if he's released outright with no post-June 1 designation, San Francisco would incur a dead-cap charge of $29.585 million.
