Robinson brought in all nine targets for 128 yards in the Ravens' 13-3 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

The veteran journeyman surprisingly paced the Ravens in receptions, receiving yardage and targets on the afternoon despite the return of Mark Andrews from his one-game absence due to shoulder and ankle injuries. Robinson's yardage total was his highest since Week 2 of the 2019 season when he was still with the Chiefs, and with Rashod Bateman (foot) out the rest of the season, it's certainly possible he continues to enjoy an elevated role.

Smith caught six passes for 78 yards on nine targets against Indianapolis on Sunday.

Smith seemed to draw more usage than usual with Dallas Goedert out and A.J. Brown (seven targets) drawing most of the defensive attention. The resulting box score isn't overly impressive at a glance, but it was a crucial contribution to the Eagles offense on a day where Jalen Hurts threw for only 190 yards on 25 attempts. Smith should continue to see escalated target shares while Goedert misses time, and a big game could result if Hurts' passing yardage volume exceeds the figure from this game. A Week 12 matchup with Green Bay could be a productive one for Smith.

Boykin exited Sunday's game against the Bengals early with an oblique injury, Alan Saunders of PittsburghSportsNow.com reports.

Boykin's current absence will leave the Steelers light on depth at wide receiver. He's considered questionable to return.

Cooper brought in eight of 12 targets for 113 yards and two touchdowns in the Browns' 31-23 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Cooper opened the scoring with a 25-yard touchdown grab just 5:58 into the game to cap off an impressive nine-play, 75-yard drive. He also found the end zone near the end of the contest on a seven-yard scoring reception and eclipsed the century mark for the second time in the last three games while facing a normally stingy Bills secondary. Cooper has one more game remaining to cultivate his solid connection with Jacoby Brissett, a Week 12 home matchup versus the Buccaneers, before Deshaun Watson (suspension) takes over under center against his old Texans squad in Week 13.

Brown caught five passes for 60 yards on seven targets against Indianapolis on Sunday.

The Colts undeniably tried to roll their coverage toward Brown, and they had some measure of success containing the star receiver and reducing the Philadelphia passing game to more of a dink-and-dunk attack as opposed to its usual big-play profile. Brown's abilities make him almost matchup-proof as long as the Eagles can keep Jalen Hurts upright, so a bigger game against Green Bay in Week 12 is certainly within reach.

Parker (knee) caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets.

Parker was quiet in his first action since Week 8 as the defenses dominated in this one. He has topped 60 receiving yards three times but has failed to reach 25 yards in any other game for the Patriots. Parker should find getting separation easier against the Vikings on Thanksgiving, as New York's secondary has made life difficult for wide receivers all season.

Meyers caught four of six targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets.

Meyers tied Rhamondre Stevenson for the team lead in targets and finished four receiving yards shy of the running back's team-high total. New England's offense didn't get into the end zone, as the game's only touchdown came on a Patriots punt return in the final minute. Meyers is rarely a threat to score himself -- he has only five receiving touchdowns in 54 career NFL games -- but he's been a reliable chain-mover for New England, accruing over 50 yards in six of eight games this season. Up next for Meyers and the Patriots is a Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Vikings.

Diggs brought in four of five targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 31-23 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Diggs was frustrated through almost the entirety of the first half, even leading to a sideline conference with head coach Sean McDermott that was caught on camera. However, he secured a five-yard touchdown grab late in the second quarter to break the ice, and he went on to put together a reasonably productive second half relative to Allen's modest production overall. Diggs will aim for a more prolific effort in the same venue when the Bills return to Ford Field to tangle with the Lions on Thanksgiving afternoon.

Mooney caught four of five targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 loss to Atlanta.

Mooney capped Chicago's first possession with a 16-yard touchdown catch. He got behind his defender deep downfield on the next drive, but Justin Fields overthrew the speedy wide receiver. Chicago went with a run-heavy approach the rest of the way, and Mooney actually finished with team-high totals in targets and catches. Fields hurt his non-throwing shoulder late in the game, but even if the starting quarterback plays in Week 12 against the Jets, Mooney will be tough to trust against standout rookie cornerback Sauce Gardner.

McLaurin caught four passes for 55 yards on seven targets against Houston on Sunday.

McLaurin did well for his own part, especially considering the struggles of quarterback Taylor Heinicke (15-of-27 for 191 yards), but it's still somewhat disappointing for McLaurin's fantasy investors that he wasn't given more opportunity to capitalize against a Houston defense that couldn't consistently cover him. McLaurin usually holds the advantage against any cornerback that lines up against him, so he's a fine bounce-back candidate even if he sees shadow coverage from standout Atlanta corner A.J. Terrell in Week 12.
