Christian Kirk WR | SF
Jaguars' Christian Kirk: Shut down by Baltimore
Kirk recorded four receptions on nine targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over Baltimore. He added one rush for minus-five yards.
Kirk remained heavily involved in the offense, though he turned in one of his more inefficient performances of the season. Despite managing receptions of 17, 16 and 11 yards, Kirk averaged only 5.1 yards per target due to a 44 percent catch rate. While it was a down performance, Kirk's outlook should significantly improve for a Week 13 matchup against the Lions.

Elijah Moore WR | PHI
Jets' Elijah Moore: Finds end zone in White's debut
Moore caught both of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Bears.
Moore had struggled to produce with Zach Wilson under center for the Jets, but he made the most of his first touch in the second quarter, catching a well-placed pass from Mike White and bouncing off a tackle for a 42-yard gain. The second-year wide receiver's only other target came in the third quarter, and he caught it for his first touchdown of the season from 22 yards out. It remains to be seen whether White can sustain this form in Week 13 against the Vikings and beyond, but he unlocked the big-play potential of both Moore and Garrett Wilson (two touchdowns) in his season debut.

Mike Evans WR | SF
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Highly inefficient in Week 12 loss
Evans secured two of nine targets for 31 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns on Sunday.
It was a nightmare of an afternoon for Evans, who repeatedly failed to connect with Tom Brady despite tying with running back Rachaad White for the second-most targets on the day. Evans saw position mate Chris Godwin (12-110-1) enjoy outstanding chemistry with Brady, and he's now recorded 54 receiving yards or fewer in three consecutive games. Evans next lines up for a matchup with a team that's given him plenty of trouble in the past, the Saints, in a Week 13 Monday night home divisional clash.

Trenton Irwin WR | SF
Bengals' Trenton Irwin: One big catch
Irwin had just one catch for 16 yards, a key third-down conversion, in Sunday's win over the Titans.
Irwin made a spectacular catch that held up from a review in the third quarter, and the Bengals then scored on the subsequent play on a pass to Tee Higgins to take the lead for good. Irwin's snap count will likely decline next week against the Chiefs, assuming that Ja'Marr Chase (hip) returns.
-
Tyler Boyd WR | TEN
Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Disappointing game
Boyd had just two catches for 16 yards on four targets in Sunday's win over the Titans.
Boyd struggled to gain separation on his targets, and he slipped on his cut on one of the passes he didn't corral. Meanwhile, the Bengals found a good matchup on the opposite side of the field for Tee Higgins most of the time, and Trenton Irwin on one key first down. With Ja'Marr Chase (hip) out, we expected more from Boyd and didn't get it the last two weeks. Now, Chase should return next week against the Chiefs.

DJ Moore WR | BUF
Panthers' DJ Moore: Tops 100 receiving yards
Moore recorded four receptions on six targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Broncos.
Moore topped 100 receiving yards for the second time this season, with three of his catches going for at least 20 yards. His longest reception went for 52 yards on a drive early in the fourth quarter, which ultimately help set up a Carolina field goal. Moore also tallied his fourth touchdown of the season on a four-yard catch late in the opening quarter. While he's been held back by quarterback play for most of the season, Carolina is sticking with Sam Darnold under center, which may turn out to be good news for Moore.
-
Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ
Jets' Garrett Wilson: Two TDs in White's debut
Wilson caught five of eight targets for 95 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Bears. He added one rushing attempt for minus-1 yard.
Wilson showed immediate chemistry with new starting quarterback Mike White, catching three of four targets for 32 yards on the opening drive, including an eight-yard touchdown. The pair hooked up again in the second quarter for a 54-yard touchdown, on which Wilson showed off his shiftiness after the catch. At least for one game, White looked like a considerable upgrade over Zach Wilson under center, which has the rookie wide receiver's arrow pointing up ahead of a Week 13 matchup with a leaky Minnesota secondary.

Amari Cooper WR | LV
Browns' Amari Cooper: Clutch catch late in win
Cooper brought in seven of 12 targets for 94 yards in the Browns' 23-17 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
The veteran wideout came up big when his team needed it the most, recording catches of 17 and 45 yards on what turned out to be the Browns' game-winning drive. The second reception brought Cleveland all the way down to the three-yard line, which set up a Nick Chubb game-winning touchdown rush. Cooper's reception, yardage and target totals were all team highs, and it will be intriguing to see how he works in tandem with incoming starter Deshaun Watson in a Week 13 matchup against the Texans after displaying plenty of chemistry with Jacoby Brissett over the first 11 games of the season.
-
Tee Higgins WR | CIN
Bengals' Tee Higgins: Another huge day
Higgins had seven catches for 114 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Titans.
Higgins and Joe Burrow found multiple occasions where Higgins had man-to-man coverage on the outside and exploited it. Both the go-ahead touchdown and a subsequent big play on the game-clinching drive were under those conditions. Higgins likely will get teammate Ja'Marr Chase (hip) back next weekend against the Chiefs, but he's demonstrating that he is a No. 1 receiver and will likely get paid as such this offseason.
-
Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Monster volume day in loss
Godwin secured 12 of 13 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Godwin comfortably paced the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also securing the only touchdown among the team's wideouts. Godwin's score came from 10 yards out in the first quarter, his second trip to the end zone in as many games after not recording any in the first seven contests of the campaign. Godwin has no fewer than six receptions in any game since Week 1, giving him a very safe fantasy floor ahead of a Week 13 Monday night divisional clash against the Saints.
