Samuel brought in six of seven targets for 63 yards and rushed three times for 23 yards in the Commanders' 20-20 tie with the Giants on Sunday.

Samuel checked in second in receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon while logging the third-most targets. The versatile wideout's afternoon was his busiest in terms of total touches since Week 7, while his receiving yardage total was his third-highest of the campaign. Samuel gets another crack at the Giants defense in Week 15 following Washington's Week 14 bye.

Slayton secured six of eight targets for 90 yards in the Giants' 20-20 tie with the Commanders on Sunday.

Slayton led the Giants in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also recording a game-long 55-yard grab. The speedster has been Daniel Jones' most reliable target in recent weeks as the team's wide receiver corps has fallen victim to multiple injuries -- he has at least 63 receiving yards in five consecutive contests, a sample that now includes a pair of 90-yard tallies. Slayton next takes aim at the tough Eagles secondary in a Week 14 home matchup.

Goodwin (hand) returned to Sunday's 27-23 victory at the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

As halftime ended and the third quarter began, the Seahawks deemed Goodwin questionable to return due to a hand injury. There were crickets surrounding the situation until he made a key 17-yard catch to get the Seahawks in the red zone, and the game-winning connection between Geno Smith and DK Metcalf took place one play later. Goodwin's Week 13 stat line includes just the aforementioned grab on two targets.

Jones brought in two of seven targets for 16 yards in the Jaguars' 40-14 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Fresh off a prolific 11-catch, 145-yard performance against the Ravens in Week 12, Jones significantly disappointed in what was believed to be a favorable game environment coming in. Jones still tied for the second-most targets on the afternoon for the Jaguars, however, which is certainly important when evaluating his overall fantasy outlook beyond just Sunday's game. Jones' first opportunity to bounce back comes in a Week 14 road divisional clash against the Titans.

Chark secured five of six targets for 98 yards in the Lions' 40-14 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Chark got a crack at his original Jaguars squad and was able to generate season-best catch and yardage totals in the process. The 2018 second-round pick of the Jaguars has shown signs of life over the last two games -- he also recorded his first touchdown since Week 1 against the Bills on Thanksgiving -- giving him some momentum heading into a key Week 14 divisional battle against the Vikings at Ford Field.

Cooper recorded four receptions on nine targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Texans.

Cooper was expected to receive a lift in production with Deshaun Watson under center, but Watson showed considerable rust in his first game since Week 16 of the 2020 season. As a result, despite seeing a fairly typical rate of targets in the offense, Cooper sputtered to a poor game. In addition to the switch to Watson, the Browns were able to rely heavily on the run game thanks to a matchup against the Texans that they controlled throughout. That's much less likely to be the case in Week 14 against the Bengals, so Cooper should be in a decent position to bounce back.

Gallup (illness) is active for Sunday's contest against the Colts.

Gallup was plagued by an illness ahead of this game, sitting out Wednesday and Thursday before returning to drills in a limited capacity to cap the week. Coach Mike McCarthy told Jon Machota of The Athletic on Friday morning that he expected Gallup to be available Sunday, and that assumption has come to fruition. Whether or not Gallup's conditioning is impacted remains to be seen, but even if it isn't he may find the going tough versus Indianapolis' fourth-ranked pass defense (190.6 yards per game).

Robinson secured seven of eight targets for 41 yards in the Ravens' 10-9 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Robinson led the Ravens in receptions and targets on the afternoon while checking in second only to Mark Andrews in receiving yardage. The journeyman wideout has worked well with both Tyler Huntley and Lamar Jackson (knee) as his quarterbacks, as he now has efforts of six, seven and nine catches within his last five games. He'll aim to continue his productive ways with whoever is under center in a Week 14 road divisional clash against the Steelers.

Jeudy secured all four targets for 65 yards in the Broncos' 10-9 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Jeudy put in a solid effort in his return from a two-game absence, checking in second in receptions and receiving yards to tight end Greg Dulcich. Courtland Sutton's early exit due to a hamstring injury didn't hurt Jeudy's chances of drawing some of Russell Wilson's attention, but the entire Broncos offense continues to be stuck in neutral for the most part. Jeudy could be due for an elevated role in Week 14 if Sutton is unable to suit up for the home showdown against the Chiefs.

Waddle (leg) returned to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

The Dolphins' starting wideout had been forced out of the game with a leg injury, but Waddle is back in the contest and will look to pick up the pace after not hauling in any of his first four targets Sunday.
