Jalen Reagor WR | MIA
Eagles' Jalen Reagor: Two catches in Week 12
Reagor caught two passes for 31 yards on seven targets against the Giants on Sunday.
The Eagles lost 13-7 in a game where Reagor had two chances to make game-winning catches on the final drive yet failed to do so despite a pair of on-target passes. Reagor can't be blamed for Jalen Hurts' broader box score of 14 completed passes for 129 yards and three interceptions on 31 targets, but given the visibility of Reagor's mistakes in the one-score game, he might see his playing time and usage suffer going forward.

DeVonta Smith WR | PHI
Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Underused Sunday
Smith caught two passes for 22 yards on four targets against the Giants on Sunday.
Jalen Hurts struggled as a passer and took Smith down with him, yet both players should find a more welcoming matchup when the Eagles face the Jets in Week 13. Smith's disappointing numbers against the Giants mostly occurred because Hurts threw for only 129 yards and three interceptions on 31 attempts, but an outcome like that is far less likely versus New York.

Laviska Shenault Jr. WR | BUF
Jaguars' Laviska Shenault: Hauls in five passes in Week 12
Shenault recorded five catches (on nine targets) for 33 yards during Sunday's 21-14 defeat to the Falcons.
Shenault's team-high target tally was the second most he's received in a game this season, and the third most of his one-and-a-half campaigns as a pro. However, he was unable to do much with them. His two longest receptions went for 24 and 11 yards, while the other three totaled minus-2 yards. Since he compiled at least 48 yards in five of the first six games of the season, Shenault has only gone past that threshold once in the last five contests. He may have a difficult time turning it around next Sunday in a road matchup with the Rams.

Russell Gage WR | SF
Falcons' Russell Gage: Productive in Week 12 win
Gage caught six of seven targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 win over Jacksonville.
Gage put Atlanta ahead 21-3 with a 12-yard touchdown in the third quarter, doubling his season touchdown total. He also led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. If Calvin Ridley (personal) remains on the reserve/non-football injury list, Gage will continue to work as the Falcons' de facto No. 1 wide receiver in Week 13 against the Buccaneers.

Marvin Jones WR | DET
Jaguars' Marvin Jones: Notches four catches Sunday
Jones reeled in four of seven targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Falcons.
Aside from a 21-yard reception at the two-minute warning of the first half, none of Jones' other three grabs went for more than 10 yards, and one of his targets was picked off by Atlanta safety Duron Harmon. Jones primarily has had muted performances this season working with rookie signal-caller Trevor Lawrence, with one 100-yard effort and three touchdowns (none since Week 6) in 11 games. The 10th-year pro will seek out a better outing next Sunday versus the Rams' 15th-ranked pass offense.

Kendrick Bourne WR | ARI
Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Two TDs in Week 12 win
Bourne caught five of six targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-13 win over the Titans.
Bourne scored a four-yard touchdown in the first quarter, but most of his damage came on a 41-yard touchdown grab in the third. New England's offense tends to rotate its featured options on a weekly basis, but Bourne has emerged as the top scoring threat among the team's wide receivers. Bourne's five receiving touchdowns rank second behind tight end Hunter Henry's seven, and Nelson Agholor (three) is the only other player on the team with more than one. Building on this effort won't be easy for Bourne in Week 13 against the stingy Bills secondary.

Jaelon Darden WR | SEA
Buccaneers' Jaelon Darden: Evaluated for possible concussion
Darden is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return Sunday against the Colts, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Darden has left his mark as a return specialist, racking up 66 yards on three kick returns and just three yards following two punt returns.
-
Allen Lazard WR | NYJ
Packers' Allen Lazard: Active in Week 12
Lazard (shoulder) is active for Sunday's contest against the Rams, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
After sitting out one game due to a shoulder injury, Lazard is back in the lineup and gets Green Bay's receiving corps back to full strength. Behind Davante Adams, the breakdown of targets is a weekly carousel. In nine appearances this season, Lazard has averaged 1.9 catches (on 2.9 targets) for 23.3 yards per game while scoring three TDs.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Puts in full practice
Lamb (concussion) was deemed a full participant Sunday in the Cowboys' unofficial practice session, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
After sustaining the head injury exactly one week ago in the Cowboys' loss to the Chiefs, Lamb managed only one limited practice on a short week before being ruled out ahead of Dallas' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Raiders. The Cowboys will have another quick turnaround for Week 13 with a Thursday night matchup against the Saints, but Lamb's ability to increase his practice activity a few days later bodes well for his chances of being able to play in New Orleans. He'll still need to receive clearance from an independent neurologist before exiting the concussion protocol, but head coach Mike McCarthy seems optimistic that the wideout will be able to do so in advance of Thursday's contest.
