Callaway reeled in his only target for six yards during Sunday's 27-20 win versus the Rams.

Callaway saw a minimal role in the Saints' resurgent passing game Week 11. The 6-foot-2 wideout did not benefit from quarterback Andy Dalton's best passing stat line of the season, as he was targeted fewer than three times for just the second game in his last seven appearances. Callaway also tied his lowest number of offense snaps played (21) from this span. After being ruled a healthy scratch with veteran wideout Jarvis Landry back in the lineup Week 10, Callaway appears set to play a deep supporting role so long as New Orleans' receiving corps remains healthy moving forward.

Cole caught one of two targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 22-16 overtime win over the Broncos. He also returned four punts for 28 yards.

Despite playing more than 40 offensive snaps again this week, Cole was held without a catch until the Raiders' final drive in regulation. Meanwhile, fellow receivers Davante Adams and Mack Hollins combined for 13 receptions on 22 targets for 193 yards and two scores. Expect Cole to continue occupying the slot against the Seahawks in Week 12.

Atwell caught his only target for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints.

Atwell saw the field for the first time since Week 6 and quickly made an impact, burning down the left sideline past Saints safety Chris Harris for an explosive first-quarter touchdown. Atwell's field-stretching ability and game-breaking speed may force the Rams to give the second-year wideout more time on the field, and with the Rams playing the Chiefs in Week 12, Atwell's big-play prowess may be more necessary than ever in hopes of keeping up with one of the most dynamic offenses in the league.

Osborn caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Cowboys.

Osborn's volume has oscillated from two targets in Week 9 to 11 last week before dropping back down to three. As long as all three of Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and T.J. Hockenson are healthy, Osborn will have difficulty carving out a consistent role as Kirk Cousins' fourth option in the passing game.

Brown caught both his targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Vikings.

The Cowboys didn't need to attack downfield much with Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard accounting for two touchdowns each out of the backfield, but Brown still made an impact with a 35-yard catch in the third quarter that set up Elliott's second score of the day. Brown hasn't seen a significant role in the offense since Michael Gallup returned from a knee injury, and his snaps and targets could all but disappear down the stretch if Odell Beckham does end up landing in Dallas.

Agholor was on the field for 37 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets en route to catching two of his three targets for 18 yards in the contest, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Though Agholor saw an uptick in snaps Week 11, his fantasy production remained modest, and he's only an option in deeper leagues as Thursday's game against the Vikings approaches. At this stage, Jakobi Meyers is the only New England wide receiver with steady enough volume to merit lineup consideration in most formats.

Thornton logged 17 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Thornton's Week 11 snap count represented a season low, and for the fourth consecutive game, the 2022 second-rounder caught just one pass (on two targets) for five yards. Until steady volume heads his way, Thornton is off the fantasy radar while working in a New England wideout corps that also includes Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor.

Bourne, who was on the field for 24 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets, caught his only target in the contest for eight yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

For the fourth time in his last five games, Bourne recorded just one target, a rate of volume that keeps the 27-year old off the fantasy radar ahead of Thursday's game against the Vikings. Overall, Bourne -- who recorded 55 catches last season -- has caught 15 of his 20 targets for 175 yards through nine contests.

The Lions announced Monday that Williams (knee) has been designated for a return from the reserve/non-football injury list.

Williams isn't expected to be a candidate for action during this week's Thanksgiving Day contest against the Bills, but the transaction is a sign that the rookie first-round pick is nearing full health after suffering a left ACL tear in January during the National Championship Game while still with Alabama. Detroit will have a 21-day window to evaluate Williams at practice without him counting against the 53-man roster, and he can be activated at any time during that span. Once back to full health, Williams profiles to handle a significant role alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown atop the Lions' depth chart at wide receiver.

Byrd gathered in both of his two targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 27-24 win versus Chicago.

Byrd finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Kyle Pitts and has totaled nine receptions on 14 targets for 229 yards and two scores over his last five games. The veteran wideout has emerged as a quality option for Marcus Mariota during the middle of the season, but his inconsistent production makes him a risky fantasy play moving forward.
