Grant rushed once for 11 yards and caught his only target for six yards in the Bears' 16-13 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Grant's greatest value to the Bears is as a returner, and any offensive touches he receives are a bonus. Aside from leagues that award points for return yardage, Grant's fantasy value will be minimal unless his sees an increase in usage.

Crowder caught six of seven targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins.

Crowder got wide open near the front of the end zone for a two-yard, fourth-down touchdown to score the Jets' first points. He finished second on the team in targets, catches and receiving yards, trailing only Elijah Moore, who added to his recent breakout with eight catches for 141 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. With Crowder in the slot complementing Moore and Corey Davis on the outside, New York has a respectable group of pass-catchers to throw to for rookie quarterback Zach Wilson (knee), who will most likely reclaim the starting role under center in Week 12 against Houston after Joe Flacco started this one.

Smith brought in four of six targets for 61 yards in the Eagles' 40-29 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Smith narrowly missed out on a touchdown grab in the left corner of the end zone late in the first half when he couldn't quite come down inbounds, and he otherwise put together a solid but unspectacular day. The rookie's production continues to be somewhat capped by quarterback Jalen Hurts' overall limitations as a passer, but he's now eclipsed 60 receiving yards in four of the last five games. Smith's Week 12 matchup takes him to New York, where he'll face a Giants secondary that's been much better at home than the road this season.

Carter caught two of three targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Panthers. He also rushed once but lost three yards.

Carter's touchdown streak was brought to three straight games thanks to his four-yard score during the third quarter. Although Carter couldn't reach 50 yards like in the two games prior, his end-zone trip nonetheless made for an impactful day. The wideout will strive to keep his scoring stretch going in Week 12 versus the Seahawks.

Shenault caught five passes for 50 yards on five targets against San Francisco on Sunday.

Shenault was efficient with his five targets, but he undermined his box score with a lost fumble. Shenault's effectiveness had badly suffered after moving from the slot to outside receiver, so even this mostly unimpressive game is sadly a welcome development in Shenault's highly disappointing season. If Jamal Agnew (hip) misses time, though, the Jaguars might have Shenault play in the slot more against the Falcons in Week 12, which would be a more natural fit for his skill set.

Adams (shoulder) corralled seven of eight targets for 115 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 loss to Minnesota.

Adams was battling a shoulder injury throughout practice this week, but he showed no ill effects in a dominant showing on the gridiron. The 28-year-old was coming off of a pair of pedestrian performances -- by his lofty standards -- during a period where both he and Aaron Rodgers missed time due to illness, but Green Bay's dynamic duo appeared to get its mojo back. Adams will face a stiff test against shutdown corner Jalen Ramsey and the Rams in a rematch of last year's NFC divisional round next Sunday.

Jones caught four passes for 52 yards on six targets against San Francisco on Sunday.

Jones is pretty much overmatched in Jacksonville's No. 1 receiver role, which was supposed to be filled by DJ Chark (ankle) prior to his season-ending injury. Jones' line was serviceable on the surface, but the Jaguars passing game was never threatening and scored their one touchdown with just about three minutes left in the 30-10 blowout loss. Perhaps he can get more going against Atlanta's thin secondary in Week 12, but Jones might be dependent on garbage-time production in most of Jacksonville's remaining games.

Anderson caught five of six targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-21 loss to Washington.

Anderson trailed only tailback Christian McCaffrey in receptions, tying fellow wideout DJ Moore with his handful of grabs. Although his long gain was only 11 yards, it was good to see Anderson's involvement increase in quarterback Cam Newton's first start. The wideout matched his season high in catches Sunday, bringing his tally to nine over the past two weeks, an encouraging sign after he managed just one in the two weeks prior. Next up for Anderson is a matchup against a familiar foe, the Dolphins, in Week 12.

Jefferson posted eight receptions (10 targets) for 169 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Packers.

Fresh off of setting a new season high in receiving yards last week, Jefferson wasted no time in raising his personal high-water mark yet again. It was also the 22-year-old's first multi-score game of the season, bringing his totals up to 63 receptions, 944 yards and six touchdowns through 10 contests. The red-hot Jefferson will be the beneficiary of a favorable matchup against the 49ers next Sunday.

Aiyuk caught seven passes for 85 yards and one touchdown on seven targets against Jacksonville on Sunday.

Given the last month of improved production, it's hopefully safe to say by now that Aiyuk is free from whatever limitations he had to begin the year. While he can't always count on the target share or efficiency he enjoyed Sunday, Aiyuk's explosiveness speaks for itself and a similar caliber of play to Sunday's will keep him involved in the San Francisco game plan. He's still probably third in line behind Deebo Samuel and George Kittle in the offensive hierarchy, but a Week 12 matchup against Minnesota is promising on paper.
