Jennings had two receptions on three targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 win over Minnesota.

Jennings continued to see a gradual increase in usage while serving as the 49ers' No. 3 wideout, experiencing new highs in targets and receiving yardage. The 23-year-old even appeared to catch a second touchdown, but it was reviewed and overturned when the wideout's knee barely grazed the white sideline paint in the end zone. Jennings may continue to see his usage increase with Deebo Samuel's (groin) status unclear for next week's matchup against the Seahawks. It is worth mentioning that fellow wideout Trent Sherfield appeared to be running Samuel's backfield motions and distractions in the fourth quarter, but both receivers are likely to see a small uptick in action if the star wideout misses any time.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday he's hopeful Hopkins (hamstring) will return to the field against Chicago in Week 13, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Kingsbury said the same of quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle), but the coach added that he won't confirm anything until he's evaluated both offensive stars at practice. Hopkins is coming off three straight absences, but it looks like he's trending toward a return after also having a bye week to get healthy.

Guyton caught two of his three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Broncos.

The Chargers never managed to gain much traction against a stifling Broncos defense, but Guyton did help the team with a critical 15-yard catch-and-run on fourth-and-4 near the end of the third quarter. The drive ultimately ended thanks to an ill-timed interception, but that reception was arguably one of Guyton's lone highlights of the season to date. The speed threat now has back-to-back games playing at least 50 percent of the offensive snaps, but the extra workload predictably hasn't generated extra fantasy volume as the Chargers' narrow target tree hasn't included the third-year wideout.

Palmer caught both of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Broncos.

The rookie saw his second-most snaps this season, but the extra workload once again didn't translate to much. Favorable passing game scripts could force Palmer onto the field more as the season progresses, but he's far behind the more efficient targets heavily utilized by the Chargers.

Williams caught four of his eight targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Broncos.

Justin Herbert repeatedly tried to connect with Williams on a number of deep throws, but the end result saw the big-bodied target held under 50 yards for the fourth time in the last six games. After a blazing start to the season which appeared to highlight a rejuvenated Williams, the Chargers have essentially transitioned away from the 27-year-old as a top target, instead turning to Keenan Allen as the main focal point.

Dulin hauled in his lone target for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers.

Dulin's target share remained low in Sunday's loss, but he logged the first touchdown of his career with his 62-yard reception in the second quarter. It was encouraging to see him record the longest play of the game Sunday, as he's had limited looks in the Colts' offense this year. Across the last four games, he's secured all four of his targets for 101 yards and a touchdown.

Pascal secured two of seven targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers.

Pascal's seven targets in Sunday's loss matched his second-highest total of the season, yet he failed to generate much production on his two catches. The 26-year-old racked up a season-high 58 receiving yards in Week 9 but has hauled in four of 10 targets for 21 yards while rushing once for nine yards across the last three games.

Agholor, who was on the field for 50 of a possible 60 snaps in Sunday's 36-13 win over the Titans, caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in the contest, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Meanwhile, Jakobi Meyers logged 52 snaps and caught five of his eight targets for 98 yards, and Kendrick Bourne was out there for 33 plays, en route to hauling in five of his six targets for 61 yards and two TDs. Though Agholor continues to see steady playing time, his production has been up and down while working in an offense that spreads the ball around. He'll square off against a tough Bills pass defense Week 13, a context that makes Agholor something of a fantasy dart in New England's last game before the team's bye week.

Samuel (groin) appears to have avoided a serious injury but is still expected to miss time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Samuel was forced out of Sunday's win over the Vikings and is set for an MRI on Monday, after which more concrete details about the severity of his injury should be made available. The star wideout's availability for the upcoming Week 13 divisional matchup in Seattle is looking increasingly murky, but it looks like he may at least have avoided a season-ending injury. San Francisco could rely more on Brandon Aiyuk if the team is indeed forced to proceed without Samuel for one or more games.

St. Brown was targeted twice and caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday's 36-28 victory over the Rams.

After racking up a season-high 54 yards from scrimmage in Week 11, St. Brown barely made a mark in the box score during Sunday's victory. He did finish fourth among Packers wideouts in snaps as a result of Randall Cobb (groin) leaving the game, and he is the receiver most likely to benefit should Cobb miss more time. Even in that scenario, though, St. Brown would not be in position to offer much help to fantasy players, as he would slot in fourth on the depth chart behind three other receivers.
