Pickens caught four of six targets for 83 yards and a touchdown prior to being ejected in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 37-30 loss to the Bengals.

After finding the end zone on the ground in Pittsburgh's previous game, Pickens caught his second career receiving touchdown in this one, scoring from 24 yards out in the second quarter. He added a highlight catch along the sideline for a 33-yard gain early in the fourth quarter, but Pickens had a would-be long touchdown go through his hands with the Steelers down by two touchdowns later in the fourth. After Pittsburgh failed to recover an onside kick with 45 seconds left and no timeouts, Pickens made a late hit on Tyler Boyd that led to Pickens' disqualification. The rookie wide receiver is unlikely to face more than a fine as a result of the ejection, so he'll look to extend his touchdown streak on MNF against the Colts in Week 12.

Cooks secured three of six targets for 70 yards in the Texans' 23-10 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

The veteran wideout paced the Texans in receiving yardage, with a game-long 41-yard grab playing a significant part. Cooks' upside will continue to be capped to a degree by the team's quarterback play, but he's at least hit or exceeded the 70-yard mark in two of his last three games heading into a Week 12 road matchup versus an inconsistent Dolphins secondary.

Irwin had three catches on four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Steelers.

By rule Irwin will revert back to the Bengals' practice squad at the start of Week 12, but it would come as a surprise if they don't add him full-time to the roster. He's proven to be a far more reliable option than teammates Mike Thomas and Trent Taylor.

Boyd was held to two catches for 42 yards on seven targets in Sunday's win over the Steelers.

Boyd lined up frequently on the outside instead of in the slot, and that might have hurt his output. He did have two pretty big catches in the second half as the Bengals were trying to extend a narrow lead. We'll see if Ja'Marr Chase (hip) can return this week against Tennessee, and, if so, how that impacts Boyd's targets.

Higgins caught nine passes for 148 yards on 13 targets in Sunday's win over the Steelers.

Higgins took a quarter to warm up, but once he got going he was nearly impossible for the Steelers to stop. He briefly left the game after landing hard on his hip right before halftime, but he returned and played well in the second half.

Adams recorded seven receptions on 13 targets for 141 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 22-16 overtime win over the Broncos.

Adams earned double-digit targets for the third consecutive game and shredded the Denver secondary for scores of 31 and 35 yards. The latter was his longest catch of the day and also accounted for the game-winning touchdown, and he also turned in two additional receptions of more than 20 yards. Adams has surpassed 100 receiving yards in each of his last three matchups while scoring five touchdowns in that span.

Robinson (knee) was spotted using crutches after Sunday's 31-18 loss to the Lions, Jaclyn Hendricks of the New York Post reports.

The Giants play again in just four days against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, and while a return timetable has yet to emerge for Robinson, it's hard to imagine him suiting up in Week 12, even in a best-case scenario. Robinson went down at the end of his ninth and final catch against Detroit and was unable to put any weight on his injured right leg. New York will likely provide an update on the rookie receiver's status after running tests on the injury.

Duvernay brought in his sole target for three yards, rushed once for four yards and returned two punts for five yards in the Ravens' 13-3 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Duvernay was disappointingly uninvolved on a day when Mark Andrews returned to action from a one-game absence and Demarcus Robinson stepped up with his biggest yardage total since 2019. The speedster's production is still tough to trust on a week-to-week basis, though he'll have a favorable matchup in a Week 12 road battle against an inconsistent Jaguars defense.

Moore secured three of five targets for 24 yards in the Panthers' 13-3 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Moore's disappointing day extended an unfavorable streak of sub-30-yard games to three. The veteran spiked in Week 7 and Week 8 with a 13-221-2 line over that span, but his lackluster production since with both PJ Walker (ankle) and Baker Mayfield makes him difficult to trust in a tough matchup against the Broncos in Week 12.

James corralled all three of his targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-18 loss to the Lions.

James was having a quiet game before scoring a nine-yard touchdown in garbage time of the blowout loss. Normally, this performance could be written off as a fluke, but starting wideout Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) left the game in the fourth quarter, which could open up some targets for James in the short term. If Robinson is sidelined for the Giants' Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Cowboys, James could generate some deep-league interest.
