  • Jets' Braxton Berrios: Another week without a target

    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.

  • Kendall Hinton WR | DEN

    Broncos' Kendall Hinton: Manages one completion in debut

    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.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Titans' Corey Davis: Makes most of three targets

    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.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Stays busy in close loss

    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.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Pair of scores in loss

    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.

  • Tre'Quan Smith WR | DET

    Saints' Tre'Quan Smith: One reception in Week 12 rout

    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.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Flirts with franchise record in win

    Hill secured 13 of 15 targets for 269 yards and three touchdowns in the Chiefs' 27-24 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    As his final line indicates, the incomparable speedster was in top form, particularly during a first quarter when he hauled in touchdown throws of 75 and 44 yards. Hill's 159 receiving yards in the first quarter was the most in any one period in an NFL game since 2006, and he came just 40 yards short overall of equaling Stephone Paige's single-game franchise record of 309 yards, set back in 1985. Hill's target haul was actually just his second highest of the season, and it marked the third straight game he logged double-digit looks from Patrick Mahomes. Hill's eye-popping numbers will naturally be difficult to replicate going forward, although with the way he and Mahomes connected Sunday, it seemingly remains within the realm of possibility. Hill will take on the formidable task of trying to put together a successful encore in a Week 13 Sunday night battle against the Broncos.

  • Saints' Michael Thomas: Records four catches in Denver

    Thomas secured four of his six targets for 50 receiving yards during Sunday's 31-3 win against the Broncos.

    Thomas consumed 42.9 percent of the team's target share on a low-volume passing day, but that wasn't enough to secure the two-time All-Pro a second consecutive profitable outing. He enjoyed a nine-catch, 104-yard performance last Sunday in a 24-9 win against the Falcons but has otherwise averaged only 42.7 receiving yards per game since his Week 9 return from ankle and hamstring injuries. Thomas will face the Falcons for the second time in three outings Week 13, with Taysom Hill likely slotting in as his quarterback again.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Raiders' Nelson Agholor: Snags five passes against Falcons

    Agholor secured five of six targets for 54 receiving yards during Sunday's 43-6 loss to Atlanta.

    Agholor continues to be rejuvenated in his debut campaign with the Raiders, once again standing beside Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow as one of the team's top targets Sunday. The USC product has already posted six receiving touchdowns in 11 appearances, and he's registered 50-plus receiving yards in three of his past four outings. Agholor's 15 combined targets Weeks 11 and 12 constitute a new season best for a two-game span. He prepares to face a Jets defense that allowed DeVante Parker to post eight receptions for 119 yards Sunday.

  • Tyler Boyd WR | TEN

    Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Totals 15 yards

    Boyd caught three of six targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Giants.

    Boyd led the team in targets but struggled to connect with Brandon Allen as his longest gain went for just nine yards. This was a rather disheartening development for Boyd's fantasy outlook after he piled up nine catches for 85 yards last week, indicating that Allen's lackluster play seems likely to hinder his star wideout moving forward. Of course, the team could opt to go in another direction under center next Sunday against the Dolphins, whose strong defensive unit should cause problems regardless.
