Washington hauled in one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Bengals.

Washington had managed at least 10 yards in each of his last three appearances, but he failed to replicate even that modest production as the Steelers' offense struggled against the Bengals. The 25-year-old has now secured 17 of 29 targets for 184 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for 13 yards this season.

Moore caught his only target for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Jets.

Moore's 11 snaps were fourth among wide receivers, and he's last overall among the position group's regulars with just 32.1 percent of plays in 2021. He had a brief spasm of activity Weeks 5 and 6, but since then he's totaled five catches and 26 yards on five targets over five games. The 28-year-old is unlikely to gain a larger share of playing time, even as the team turns its focus to next season.

Conley was not targeted among his 29 snaps in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Jets.

Conley finished third in playing time among the wide receivers, but it did not translate into targets. Once again, 36-year-old Danny Amendola (five targets, three catches) was a bigger factor for the Texans, who rank 31st in passing offense with 186.5 yards per game and 26th in attempts. Conley has 14 catches on 22 targets for 233 yards and one touchdown over 11 games.

Peoples-Jones caught two of five targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Ravens.

Peoples-Jones returned to active duty after missing one week due to a groin injury, an on-going issue that's forced him to miss three of the last six games. He's the successor to Odell Beckham as the Browns' top deep threat, but the passing game is hindered by quarterback Baker Mayfield, who's dealing with multiple injuries and has completed 50.6 percent of his passes over the last three weeks. The Browns head into a bye Week 13, which could be an opportunity for Mayfield to get healthier and head coach Kevin Stefanski to fix the team's passing attack.

Brown (thigh) had eight receptions (10 targets) for 51 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Browns.

Brown returned from a one-game absence and appeared to be moving freely following a thigh injury. It wasn't a big volume game from a yardage standpoint, but the speedy wideout finished with double-digit targets for the fifth time over his last six appearances. Brown remains Lamar Jackson's favorite wide receiver target, but he has just one touchdown over his last five games (five touchdowns over previous five). The 24-year-old will attempt to take the top off of Pittsburgh's secondary in an important AFC North matchup next Sunday.

Jefferson recorded three receptions on nine targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-28 loss to the Packers.

Jefferson recorded a season high in targets, though he was inefficient for the majority of the game. The primary exception came early in the second quarter when he beat one-on-one coverage deep down the middle of the field for a 79-yard touchdown reception. Jefferson should continue to serve as a deep threat for the Rams heading into a Week 13 matchup against Jacksonville, as he now has at least one reception of 20 yards or more in five consecutive contests.

Aiyuk caught three of six targets for 91 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Vikings.

He also gained four rushing yards on one carry. Deebo Samuel (groin) was doing most of his damage out of the backfield, leaving Aiyuk to lead the Niners in receiving yards while setting a new season high in the category. If Samuel's injury proves to be serious, Aiyuk will take on an even bigger role in Week 13 against the Seahawks.

Valdes-Scantling recorded four receptions on nine targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 36-28 win over the Rams.

Valdes-Scantling finished tied for the team lead with nine targets and likely benefited from the absence of Randall Cobb (groin) in the second half. Valdes-Scantling now has 19 targets combined across his last two games. He continued to serve as a deep threat for the team, as he recorded a 28-yard reception early in the third quarter. As a result of that reception, Valdes-Scantling now has at least one reception of 20 or more yards in three consecutive games and has topped 40 total receiving yards on each occasion.

Cole caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 21-14 win over Houston.

Cole saw modest involvement, even with Corey Davis (groin) unavailable. His depth role in an up-and-down Jets offense limits Cole's fantasy appeal.

Berrios caught two of three targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 21-14 win over Houston.

Berrios actually led the Jets in receiving yards, topping Elijah Moore by one. He flipped field position with a 46-yard catch in the third quarter, but the play was wasted when Matt Ammendola missed a 42-yard field-goal attempt to cap the drive. Berrios hasn't reached 50 yards in a game since Week 2.
