Jones caught three of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 17-15 loss to Washington.

He and Bryan Edwards put up nearly identical numbers, but both took a back seat to another 100-yard performance by Hunter Renfrow. Jones has seen an uptick in volume the last two weeks, posting an 8-80-0 line on 12 targets as the Raiders scramble to plug the holes in their passing game, and his new role gives him some modest upside in Week 14 against Kansas City.

Edwards caught three of five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 17-15 loss to Washington.

Even with Derek Carr running out of healthy receiving options, Edwards still didn't see a large role in the offense, although his five targets were his highest volume since Week 5. The second-year wideout can still find himself on the end of the occasional big play, but he otherwise has little fantasy appeal heading into a Week 14 clash with Kansas City.

Renfrow caught nine of 10 targets for 102 yards in Sunday's 17-15 loss to Washington.

The third-year slot man continues to reap the benefits of being the only healthy receiving option Derek Carr trusts, as Renfrow hit triple digits in yards for the second straight game. Even if Darren Waller (knee) is able to return to action, Renfrow should remain very busy in his new No. 1 role against Kansas City in Week 14.

Humphries caught four of five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 17-15 win over the Raiders.

The veteran slot man wound up leading all Washington wideouts in catches and receiving yards on a sluggish day for the team's passing game. Humphries hasn't reached 40 receiving yards since Week 5 and is still looking for his first TD of the season, giving him limited appeal heading into a Week 14 clash with the Cowboys.

McLaurin caught three of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 17-15 win over the Raiders.

The Washington passing game didn't have much success, particularly the wideouts -- tight end Logan Thomas (knee) led the team in receiving yards, while running back Antonio Gibson led in catches. The performance was the worst of the season for McLaurin, who will look to rebound in Week 14 against the Cowboys.

Brown reeled in five of seven targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 20-19 defeat in Pittsburgh.

Brown broke a streak of four straight games with double-digit targets, seeing his fewest since Week 6. Additionally, his stretch without a touchdown extended to four contests after he notched six in seven games prior to the Ravens' bye. Brown already has attained career highs in catches and yards, and his next target will match his number (100) from a full 16-game slate last season. He'll seek a more fruitful outing next Sunday during a road jaunt to Cleveland.

Thielen suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to Detroit and will undergo further testing Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

It sounds unlikely that he'll be able to play Thursday against Pittsburgh. With news that he suffered a high ankle sprain, he could be out multiple games.

Crowder recorded four receptions on six targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 33-18 loss to the Eagles.

After recording only one target on one reception in Week 12, Crowder rebounded to finish second on the team in targets, receptions and yards against the Eagles. He likely benefited from Corey Davis being hobbled, as Davis left late in the game after apparently aggravating his groin injury. Crowder has now recorded at least four receptions in seven of his nine games this season, giving him a relatively safe floor of production regardless of who works as the team's quarterback.

Jones caught two passes for 11 yards on three targets Sunday in the Jaguars' 37-7 loss to the Rams.

It's been a difficult season for Jones and the Jaguars offense, and this matchup was one of the tougher ones on their schedule. Disappointing as it might be, Jones' numbers from Sunday can't be called surprising. While it's best to not get hopes too high with any component of the Jacksonville passing game, a Week 14 matchup with the Titans is probably more favorable than the clash against the Rams was.

Claypool hauled in two of three targets for 52 yards while rushing once for two yards in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Ravens.

Claypool drew a season-low three targets in Sunday's matchup, but he had a 40-yard reception early in the fourth quarter, which was the longest play of the game by either team. The 23-year-old hasn't had the same volume that Diontae Johnson has generated this season, but he's logged at least 40 yards from scrimmage in each of his last five appearances. During that time, he's secured 17 of 30 targets for 302 yards while rushing seven times for 32 yards. He'll have a very favorable matchup against the Vikings in Week 14.
