Byron Pringle WR | WAS
Bears' Byron Pringle: Scores first touchdown for Chicago
Pringle caught two passes for 12 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 31-10 loss to the Jets on Sunday.
On a pass that appeared to have a high probability of being intercepted, Pringle made an excellent play by going over the top of the defender to secure his first touchdown reception as a member of the Bears. With four catches and 45 yards over four games this year, he'll remain an unreliable fantasy option unless his role in the offense changes.

Chase Claypool WR | BUF
Bears' Chase Claypool: Best game with new team
Claypool caught two passes for 51 yards in the Bears' 31-10 loss to the Jets on Sunday.
Claypool led all Chicago wide receivers with five targets, and Trevor Siemian threw him a pair of downfield passes. On his 31-yard gain, Claypool beat standout cornerback Sauce Gardner, but the Chicago offense struggled to move the ball from the middle of the second quarter on, limiting Claypool's potential for additional production. This was the first time in four games that Claypool posted more than 13 yards, and he's yet to become a reliable fantasy option with the Bears.

DeAndre Hopkins WR | BAL
Cardinals' DeAndre Hopkins: Tallies third touchdown
Hopkins recorded four receptions on six targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Chargers.
For the first time this season, Hopkins shared the field with Marquise Brown and seemingly lost targets as a result. Hopkins still managed a relatively strong performance, highlighted by long gains of 33, 29 and 21 yards -- the first of which went for his third touchdown of the season. One game can't perfectly predict how Hopkins will be used with Brown back in the fold, but the initial returns suggest he'll have to rely upon big plays to remain an elite producer.

Lance McCutcheon WR | TEN
Rams' Lance McCutcheon: Suffers shoulder injury
McCutcheon hurt his shoulder during Sunday's 26-10 loss at Kansas City.
Per Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, there was no context for McCutcheon's injury when it was announced in the fourth quarter. In any case, McCutcheon finished Week 12 with no catches on three targets. His next chance to play will arrive next Sunday against the Seahawks.

Allen Robinson WR | DET
Rams' Allen Robinson: Needs season-ending surgery on foot
Coach Sean McVay said after Sunday's loss to the Chiefs that Robinson has a foot injury that will require season-ending surgery, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Robinson missed the 26-10 loss to the Chiefs with what was deemed an ankle injury, but it appears the injury is actually to his foot. The injury-riddled Rams have fallen out of the playoff hunt at 3-8, so they have no reason to rush Robinson's recovery. He finishes his first season in Los Angeles with 33 catches for 339 yards and three touchdowns on 52 targets.

Anthony Schwartz WR | MIA
Browns' Anthony Schwartz: Scores on opening drive
Schwartz caught one of two targets for 17 yards and had one carry for a 31-yard touchdown run in Sunday's 23-17 overtime victory of Tampa Bay.
Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski has prepared well on scripted opening drives and that continued Sunday, the sixth time in 11 games the Browns have struck on their opening possession. Schwartz, who has been invisible on offense this season, took a double-reverse flip from Kareem Hunt and followed superb blocking by quarterback Jacoby Brissett and wideout Amari Cooper to give Cleveland the early lead. It was Schwartz's first touchdown since Week 16 of 2021. The Browns drafted the speedy wideout with the idea of getting the ball into his hands in non-conventional ways, but his snaps were curtailed after the season opener. After Week 1, Schwartz had just one catch and five targets over the nine games entering Sunday's contest.

Trent Sherfield WR | BUF
Dolphins' Trent Sherfield: Pair of grabs in win
Sherfield secured two of five targets for 33 yards in the Dolphins' 30-15 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Sherfield continued to function as the Dolphins' clear-cut third receiver, checking in behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle for third in targets on the day. The fifth-year veteran is up to a career-high 24 receptions and 280 yards through 10 games and will have a chance to face the team he spent 2021 with, the 49ers, in a Week 13 road showdown.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Limited opportunity in win
McLaurin recorded four receptions on six targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.
McLaurin led the team with six targets, but Taylor Heinicke took to the air only 23 times. That limited McLaurin's opportunity to produce, but he still managed receptions of 26 and 13 yards to highlight his performance. Despite delivering when given looks, McLaurin has failed to top 60 yards in three of his last four games.
