  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: Quiet game as offense sputters

    Thielen had two receptions (three targets) for 25 yards in Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Cowboys.

    Minnesota's entire passing offense was shut down by Dallas, resulting in mediocre stat lines from Thielen and the rest of the starting unit. The veteran slot man was providing serviceable fantasy results prior to this dud, so fantasy managers shouldn't react too heavily to a blowout game script. Thielen will look to turn things around on a short week when the Vikings take on the Patriots on Thursday.

  • Kadarius Toney WR | CLE

    Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Won't return to SNF

    Toney (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Toney left in the first half and was subsequently ruled out. He has an extensive history of hamstring injuries over the course of his brief NFL career, so it wouldn't be surprising if Toney's latest injury winds up sidelining him in Week 12 against the Rams and possibly beyond.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Low usage in blowout win

    Lamb caught all five of his targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 40-3 blowout victory over the Vikings.

    Lamb was able to haul in 100 percent of the passes thrown his way for the first time this season, but the five targets also marked a season low. The 23-year-old was used sparingly due to a crooked score and a combined four touchdowns from Dallas' running backs. The game got so out of hand that head coach Mike McCarthy was able to pull all of the starters for the fourth quarter, also adding to Lamb's suppressed output this week. The Cowboys' star wideout could be in line for a big game on Thanksgiving against a Giants team that may be without both of its top corners Thursday.

  • Mike Williams WR | LAC

    Chargers' Mike Williams: Won't return after ankle injury

    Williams (ankle) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Chiefs. He hauled in his lone target for a 15-yard reception before exiting the contest.

    Williams hurt his right ankle in the first half. Per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, head coach Brandon Staley confirmed after the game that Williams suffered an aggravation of the right high-ankle sprain that had sidelined him since Week 7. Given that he's dealing with a setback of a prior injury that kept him out for two games, Williams may have a tough time gaining clearance to play Week 12 in Arizona.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Raiders' Mack Hollins: Earns nine targets

    Hollins recorded six receptions on nine targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Broncos.

    The Raiders remained heavily concentrated in their offensive approach, with Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams accounting for the majority of the production. Hollins was next in line, finishing second on the team in targets, receptions and yards. While it was an encouraging performance, Hollins has been highly inconsistent this season, posting fewer than 20 receiving yards in four of 10 games.

  • Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Team-high yardage total

    Marshall secured three of six targets for 76 yards in the Panthers' 13-3 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Marshall made a splash play through the air for the second straight game after also recording a 43-yard grab in the Week 10 win over the Falcons. The second-year receiver has over 70 receiving yards in two of his last three games and multiple catches in four of his last five, commendable accomplishments when considering the state of the Panthers' quarterback situation.

  • Kadarius Toney WR | CLE

    Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Hamstring injury flares up

    Toney (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Toney has been plagued by injuries since the Giants selected him in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, and his hamstring has been a frequent cause of concern. The Chiefs traded for Toney in hopes that he could find the health and consistency that eluded him in New York, but Toney made it through only two games unscathed before getting banged up in his third appearance for Kansas City. He didn't catch his only target against the Chargers prior to the injury.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Steps up in absence of Jeudy

    Sutton recorded five catches on seven targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Raiders.

    Russell Wilson spread the ball around, as seven Denver pass catchers drew multiple targets. However, Sutton led the way in targets, receptions and yards while posting his highest yardage total since Week 3. Two of his five catches went for more than 20 yards, also marking the first time he's managed multiple big plays in a game since Week 2. Sutton managed that production in the absence of Jerry Jeudy (ankle), and he should be the top pass catcher again in Week 12 against Carolina if Jeudy remains sidelined.

  • Mike Williams WR | LAC

    Chargers' Mike Williams: Re-injures ankle on SNF

    Williams (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Williams got up limping after making a tiptoeing catch along the sideline in the first half, so it's likely that he aggravated his ankle injury on that play. He had been out since spraining his ankle in Week 7. That sideline grab went for a gain of 15 on Williams' only target prior to his exit.

  • Steelers' Diontae Johnson: Shut down by Bengals

    Johnson caught four of five targets for 21 yards and rushed once for one yard in Sunday's 37-30 loss to the Bengals.

    Cincinnati consistently shaded extra attention Johnson's way, so rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett threw mostly to George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth, who combined for 12 catches, 162 yards and a touchdown on 18 targets. Johnson's still searching for his first touchdown of the season heading into Week 12 against the Colts, and he's mustered 63 yards or fewer in each of his past seven games.
