Woods caught seven of 12 targets for 80 yards and carried once for eight yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the 49ers.

With Cooper Kupp struggling, it was Woods who led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. He has now reached the 80-yard mark in three of his last four games and is back on pace to flirt with 1,000 yards for the season despite a few rough outings along the way. Woods will look to continue his recent success next Sunday against a Cardinals team he torched for 239 yards on 20 catches over two meetings last season.

Kupp caught two of five targets for 41 yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the 49ers.

Kupp was held in check for most of the game and did little outside of shaking loose for a 33-yard gain in the third quarter. He gashed the talented Buccaneers defense for a season-high 145 yards in his prior outing, so his inability to make a notable impact in this one was likely a bit of a surprise for many fantasy managers. Kupp will look to bounce back next Sunday against a Cardinals team he touched up for 164 yards and two touchdowns over two meetings last season.

Samuel caught 11 of 13 targets for 133 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Rams.

Making his first appearance since Week 7, Samuel more than doubled his previous season high in yardage as he repeatedly gashed the typically stout Rams secondary while leading the team in targets and catches as well. He dominated throughout the game but was particularly effective on the game-winning drive as he contributed three catches and 35 yards to help set up a last-second field goal. Samuel appears to be fully over the hamstring injury that sidelined him and will look to build on this excellent effort next Monday night against the Bills.

Jeudy did not haul in his only target during Sunday's 31-3 loss to New Orleans.

Denver was in a desperate situation at the quarterback spot, with Jeff Driskel testing positive for COVID-19 during the practice week, plus Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles all being deemed inactive as high-risk close contacts. As a result, Jeudy struggled during Week 12, granted he had virtually zero time to establish a rapport with his signal-caller Kendall Hinton. Jeudy also had a restricted practice workload during the week because of Achilles and ankle issues. If Lock is activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list in time for a Week 13 road trip to take on the Chiefs, Jeudy would carry increased upside.

Berrios wasn't targeted in Sunday's 20-3 loss to Miami.

Berrios netted six yards between a kick return and a punt return, but watched Corey Ballentine return a pair of kickoffs for 50 yards. Berrios' role on offense is nearly nonexistent, and his special teams contributions are shrinking.

Hinton completed one of nine pass attempts for 13 yards, throwing no touchdowns and two interceptions during Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Saints. He also registered seven rushing yards on two carries.

Hinton was put in a near-impossible spot, elevated into the starting quarterback role from the practice squad Saturday after COVID concerns eliminated all of Denver's foreseeable options from the depth chart. Jeff Driskel tested positive for COVID-19 this week, while Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles were all unavailable upon being considered high-risk close contacts. Hinton joined Denver's practice squad as a wide receiver Nov. 4, with his most recent in-game quarterbacking experience coming in 2018 during his time at Wake Forest. The Broncos minimized his pass attempts, but Hinton still floated a couple of relatively easy INTs to Janoris Jenkins and C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Denver hopes to get Lock back from the reserve/COVID-19 list in time for a Week 13 road trip to Arrowhead Stadium.

Davis recorded three receptions on three targets for 70 yards in Week 12 against the Colts.

Davis matched his lowest target total of the season as the Titans threw only seven passes in the second half. Even so, he ripped off long receptions of 37 and 21 yards prior to halftime to make the most of his opportunities. Prior to this contest, Davis had seen at least six targets in four of five games, so he could see more volume in Week 13 against the Browns.

Godwin secured eight of nine targets for 97 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Godwin finished with a team high in receptions while checking in second in receiving yardage to Rob Gronkowski. The fourth-year wideout also tied Mike Evans for the team lead in targets and will head into the Buccaneers' Week 13 bye with a combined 21-242-1 line over his last three games. Godwin also has no fewer than six targets and as many as 10 in each of his eight contests thus far, giving him a coveted fantasy floor ahead of a Week 14 battle versus the Vikings following the upcoming week off.

Evans hauled in three of nine targets for 50 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Evans certainly made the most of his handful of receptions, and he even fought through what appeared to be an ankle issue that caused him to limp off for a play in the second half. The big wideout's connection with Tom Brady wasn't operating on all cylinders, however, as evidenced by both his poor catch rate and the fact Brady's second interception of the day came on a pass intended for Evans in which there appeared to be some degree of miscommunication. Nevertheless, fantasy managers walked away pleased with the pair of end-zone trips, which extended Evans' scoring streak to three games and left the seven-year veteran just one touchdown away from equaling the career-high 12 he's notched in two other seasons. Evans will look to carry over his momentum into a Week 14 battle against the Vikings after resting up over the Buccaneers' Week 13 bye.

Smith hauled in his only target for 16 yards in the Saints' 31-3 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Surprisingly, Smith was one of just two Saints pass-catchers to accumulate double-digit receiving yards (Michael Thomas being the other) in a game during which Taysom Hill threw for just 78 yards. New Orleans crushed Denver on the ground to the tune of 229 rushing yards, accounting for the paltry passing stats. Smith will look to bounce back in a favorable matchup against Atlanta in Week 13.
