Smith secured five of seven targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 34-10 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Smith paced the Eagles in receptions and receiving yardage, with his production in each category also serving as his best since Week 9. The rookie's four-yard scoring grab in the latter portion of the third quarter was also the subject of two replays, with the latter review confirming the score after the first one seemed to nullify it. Smith is likely to again play a prominent role in a key Week 17 road showdown against Washington.

Treadwell tallied four catches (on five targets) for 54 yards during Sunday's 26-21 road defeat to the Jets.

Treadwell has been handling an offensive snap share above 70 percent since a Week 11 loss to the 49ers, and Sunday's performance is roughly in line with his production since that time. Overall, he's put up a 23-305-0 line on 36 targets during that six-game stretch. If Laviska Shenault (illness) is able to get out of COVID-19 protocols in time for next Sunday's visit to New England, Treadwell will be vying with him, Marvin Jones and even Tavon Austin for looks from Trevor Lawrence.

Jones gathered in eight of 13 targets for 74 yards during Sunday's 26-21 road loss to the Jets.

Jones was on the receiving end of exactly one-third of Trevor Lawrence's 39 passes, but he wasn't very efficient with them. Still, the increased volume allowed Jones to rack up his most yardage since going for 100 back in Week 6 against the Dolphins. Assuming he falls back to the 5-to-6 targets per week he's managed since the Jaguars' Week 7 bye, Jones may be hard-pressed to do much next Sunday at New England.

Toney (oblique) secured four of nine targets for 28 yards and recovered a fumble in the Giants' 34-10 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

The rookie jumped back into action for the first time since Week 11 and was busy, pacing the team in receiving yards and targets while sharing the lead in receptions. However, all of those were rather empty accomplishments for Toney, considering the Giants mustered all of 108 passing yards on the afternoon. Toney has indisputable upside in his own right, but the prospect of playing out the final two regular-season games with Mike Glennon and Jake Fromm as his quarterbacks certainly dampens his short-term outlook.

Allen recorded four receptions on six targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 41-29 loss to the Texans.

For the second time in his last three games, Allen was held to less than 40 receiving yards. The six targets were his lowest in a game since Week 6 and snapped a seven-contest stretch during which he got at least eight looks in the passing game. Given his track record, Allen has a good chance to bounce back in Week 17 against Denver despite a relatively difficult matchup.

Raymond caught three of five targets for 12 yards while rushing once for five yards during Sunday's 20-16 loss to Atlanta.

Playing through a shoulder injury, Raymond remained the third wheel behind Amon-Ra St. Brown (11 targets) and Josh Reynolds (seven) in the passing game. Only St. Brown managed any meaningful production with backup QB Tim Boyle, who struggled to complete passes down the field. Even if Jared Goff (COVID-19) manages to return in Week 17 against Seattle, Raymond will remain an inadvisable fantasy option.

Jefferson recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 116 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Rams.

Even with Adam Thielen back in the mix, Jefferson managed to record double-digit targets for the fourth consecutive game. He recorded a number of big catches that went for gains of 34, 21, 16 and 16 yards to notch his sixth 100-yard performance of the season. The only thing missing from the effort was a touchdown, though Jefferson had found the end zone in each of the team's last three contests. Jefferson will enter the team's Week 17 matchup against Green Bay only four receptions short of the century mark.

Reynolds caught two of seven targets for 36 yards during Sunday's 20-16 loss to Atlanta.

Reynolds caught 13 of 18 targets over the past three games with Jared Goff (COVID-19) under center, but the chemistry wasn't there with backup QB Tim Boyle under center. Instead, Amon-Ra St. Brown kept rolling in an underneath slot role that has earned him 11 targets in each of the past four weeks. While Reynolds should remain Detroit's top downfield threat down the stretch, expectations for his production should be dampened if Goff is unable to return in Week 17 against Seattle.

Brown caught five passes for 44 yards on nine targets against Cincinnati on Sunday.

As the Ravens' smallest receiver, Brown is the easiest one for a quarterback to miss, and he tends to suffer when playing with a quarterback who struggles to throw downfield. Lamar Jackson definitely has more of an inclination to throw deep than Tyler Huntley (illness) or Sunday's starter Josh Johnson, so it's not terribly surprising that Brown's efficiency fell off with that change at quarterback. It's not clear who will be taking snaps for the Ravens when they face the Rams in Week 17.

Berrios caught five of six targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jaguars. He added three yards on one rushing attempt and scored a kickoff return touchdown.

Berrios led New York's depleted receiving corps in catches, targets and receiving yards. In addition to his contributions on offense, Berrios scored a 102-yard kickoff return touchdown in the second quarter. Elijah Moore (quadriceps) -- who is also on the reserve/COVID-19 list -- and Jamison Crowder (calf) both have a chance to return in Week 17 against the Buccaneers, but even one of those two sitting should be enough for Berrios to maintain a prominent role on offense to go with his usage in the return game on special teams.
