Coutee caught two of four targets for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over New England.

Eraly injuries to Randall Cobb (toe) and Kenny Stills (quadriceps) cleared the way for Coutee's biggest game of the season. He played a season-high 35 snaps (57 percent) and was targeted three times in the red zone. With a short week of preparation for Week 12 on Thursday in Detroit, Coutee could be the starting slot receiver against the Lions.

Sims caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Bengals.

Sims got the start and played 84 percent of offensive snaps, but he was targeted only twice on Alex Smith's 25 pass attempts. The 6-foot-5 wideout continues to be highly efficient with his limited opportunities, averaging 2.5 catches for 51.5 yards on 3.0 targets per game since he became a starter in Week 11. It's possible Sims loses some work if Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) returns for Thursday's game against Dallas.

Jones caught his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Chiefs.

Jones remains at the bottom of the pecking order at wide receiver for the Raiders, as he matched his season low of five offensive snaps on Sunday Night Football. If he's able to earn more playing time in Week 12, a favorable matchup against the Falcons awaits.

Sims caught each of his three targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-9 win over Cincinnati.

The touchdown was Sims' first of the season, but he played only 32 percent of offensive snaps, his third straight week below 50 percent since he returned from injured reserve. With Terry McLaurin and Cam Sims working as the starters in recent weeks, the remaining WR snaps have been split between Steven Sims, J.D. McKissic and Isaiah Wright. Things could become even more crowded if Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) makes it back for Thursday's game against Dallas.

Renfrow caught two passes on as many targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Chiefs. He also returned a pair of punts for a total of 11 yards.

Renfrow has now recorded at least two receptions in five consecutive games since the Raiders' Week 6 bye, but Nelson Agholor and Darren Waller continue to flash more fantasy upside in the Raiders' aerial attack. Renfrow will hope to take advantage of a beatable Falcons secondary in Week 12 as the Raiders travel to Atlanta.

Peoples-Jones was not targeted over seven offensive snaps in Sunday's 22-17 win over Philadelphia.

Peoples-Jones played fewer than 10 snaps for the third time in five games and once again had more impact as a returner. He had 22 yards on four punt returns and 30 yards on one kickoff return. The rookie had been the primary returner in both phases, but in a new wrinkle, D'Ernest Johnson had more kickoff return chances (two) Sunday.

Agholor caught six of nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-31 loss to Kansas City.

Agholor was coming off an ugly one-catch outing against the Broncos in Week 10, but he returned to looking like the Raiders' top wideout in a showdown with the Chiefs. The former Eagle led his new club in targets, and has logged the most snaps of any Las Vegas wide receiver through 10 games despite not cracking the starting lineup until Week 3. Agholor has alternated strong and poor performances over the last five weeks, but the odds are in favor of him bucking that trend in a favorable Week 12 matchup against the Falcons' 31st-ranked pass defense.

Hill had 11 receptions (14 targets) for 102 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-31 win over Las Vegas.

Hill got the scoring going early for the Chiefs on a short pitch and catch from Patrick Mahomes in the first quarter. The 11 receptions set a new high watermark for the speedy wideout. Hill is known more for his explosive plays as opposed to volume, but the Raiders were sitting in cover-4 shells for most of the night, so head coach Andy Reid and Mahomes took what the defense gave them and connected with Hill on shorter routes. Look for Kansas City's dynamic duo to potentially return to the long ball against a Buccaneers defense that loves to blitz the opposition relentlessly and leave its defensive backs in man coverage.

Zaccheaus caught his only target for 10 yards during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Saints.

Zaccheaus was coming off an explosive four-catch, 103-yard performance Week 9 against the Broncos that included a 51-yard TD, rendering his Week 11 showing a disappointing one in comparison. Even with Matt Ryan chucking up 37 attempts Sunday, Zaccheaus was still held under 15 receiving yards for the fifth time in his past six appearances. The 23-year-old has the open-field speed to provide lucrative fantasy numbers when he slips a crease in a given outing, but he hasn't proven capable of providing any sort of high-floor production week-to-week.

Gage caught seven of a team-high 12 targets for 58 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Saints.

With Julio Jones beleaguered by a hamstring issue from the second quarter on, missing a chunk of second-half action in the process, Gage reached the double-digit threshold in targets for the first time since Week 1. The LSU product started the season promisingly by recording 15 receptions for 160 yards and a touchdown Weeks 1 and 2, but entering Sunday he had averaged just 31.3 receiving yards per game with zero scores in seven appearances since. Gage has garnered six-plus targets in three of his past four games as the Falcons prepare to host Las Vegas in Week 12.
