Thielen secured nine of 10 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 33-26 win over the Patriots on Thursday night.

Thielen tied Justin Jefferson for the team lead in receptions and finished second to his star teammate in receiving yards and targets. The sure-handed veteran wideout's catch total was a season high, and it marked his first time over the 50-yard mark in three games. Thielen's third touchdown of the season, a 15-yard score with 9:34 remaining, also proved to be the difference in the game, making it a highly productive all-around night. Thielen's first opportunity to build on Thursday's performance comes in a Week 13 home matchup against the Jets a week from Sunday.

Jefferson secured nine of 11 targets for 139 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 33-26 win over the Patriots on Thursday night. He also completed his only pass attempt for 11 yards.

Jefferson shared the team lead in receptions with Adam Thielen and paced the Vikings in yardage and targets. The star wideout's performance, which also included a six-yard touchdown reception with 10:40 remaining in the first quarter, was a major resurgence from his three-catch, 33-yard tally in the team's Week 11 blowout loss to Dallas. Jefferson has now eclipsed the century mark in three of the last four games and six of his last eight contests overall, a torrid stretch he'll aim to extend in a Week 13 home matchup against the stingy Jets defense a week from Sunday.

Chark caught two of five targets for 16 yards with one touchdown during Thursday's 28-25 loss to the Bills.

Chark snagged a short touchdown on 3rd-and-goal from the one-yard line but otherwise had trouble connecting with quarterback Jared Goff. No instance was more indicative of this than the Lions' final third-down play when Goff badly under-threw him on a potential go-ahead touchdown pass. On the bright side, Chark jumped to a 73 percent snap share after seeing 16 percent of the snaps in his return from an ankle injury last week against the Giants. Heightened production should follow in future weeks considering Chark averaged six targets per game while seeing a similar proportion of snaps over the first few weeks of the season.

Lamb caught six of 11 targets for 106 yards in Thursday's 28-20 win over the Giants.

He added 11 rushing yards on two carries. Lamb, and the entire Dallas offense, had a sluggish first half, heading into the locker room down 13-7. The receiver got going after intermission though and nearly hauled in a two-yard TD midway through the fourth quarter, but he couldn't quite get both feet in bounds at the back of the end zone. It was Lamb's second 100-yard game of the season, both of which have come in the last three weeks, and he'll take plenty of momentum into a Week 13 matchup against the Colts.

James caught five of six targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 28-20 loss to the Cowboys.

James led the Giants in receptions while getting into the end zone for the second straight week, although his one-yard TD grab late in the fourth quarter did little more than make the final score respectable. The wideout has seen his role in the offense increase again with Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) the latest New York wideout to be lost for the season, giving James some fantasy appeal heading into a Week 13 tilt against the Commanders.

Slayton caught three of six targets for 63 yards in Thursday's 28-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Most of his real estate came on a 44-yard grab in the second quarter that set up a one-yard TD plunge by Saquon Barkley, as the Giants' offense was kept mostly in check in the second half. Slayton still led the team in receiving yards on the afternoon, as he topped 60 yards for the fourth straight game. The fourth-year wideout remains Daniel Jones' top target heading into a Week 13 clash with the Commanders.

Parker (knee) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Vikings.

In his return from a one-game absence, Parker logged a 40 percent snap share in the Patriots' Week 11 win over the Jets en route to catching both of his targets for 19 yards. After being listed as questionable for Thursday's contest, Parker is available and slated to continue to see his share of snaps alongside the team's top pass-catching option, Jakobi Meyers, with Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton also in the mix. With a 17-340-1 line on 30 targets through nine contests to date, however, Parker's fantasy lineup utility has been limited to deeper formats.

Davis caught four of five targets for 38 yards in Thursday's 28-25 win over the Lions.

The third-year receiver took a back seat to Stefon Diggs and Isaiah McKenzie in this one, as he failed to reach 40 receiving yards for the third time in the last five games. Davis' downturn has coincided with Josh Allen's elbow issues, but he remains a big-play threat heading into a Week 13 road clash with the Patriots.

McKenzie caught six of 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 28-25 win over the Lions.

The slot receiver led the Bills in receiving yards in the Thanksgiving Day victory, opening the scoring for his club with a 19-yard TD grab late in the first quarter. The 96 yards and 10 targets were season highs for McKenzie, while the touchdown was his first since Week 4 and his fourth of the year. He'll look to make an impact again in an AFC East battle against the Patriots in Week 13.

Diggs caught eight of 15 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 28-25 win over the Lions.

After struggling to make a mark in the first half, Diggs came up huge down the stretch, catching a five-yard TD pass with less than three minutes left in the fourth quarter before hauling in a 36-yard strike from Josh Allen with 23 seconds left to help set up Tyler Bass' game-winning field goal. Diggs now has nine touchdowns on the season, one short of his career high, and he's also on pace for personal bests in catches and receiving yards heading into a crucial Week 13 road tilt against the Patriots.
