  • Packers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Key fumble in defeat

    Valdes-Scantling recorded three receptions on six targets for 55 yards in Week 11 against the Colts.

    Valdes-Scantling continued in a deep-threat role, as the majority of his production came on a 47-yard reception late in the fourth quarter to set up a game-tying field goal. However, he also had the game-deciding error, fumbling after a short gain in overtime to put the Colts in field-goal position. Overall, Valdes-Scantling held onto his role as Aaron Rodgers' second receiver, though that could change in Week 12 against the Bears as Allen Lazard will be another game removed from his core injury.

  • Byron Pringle WR | WAS

    Chiefs' Byron Pringle: Hurts ankle on SNF

    Pringle (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Pringle caught three of four targets for 17 yards and returned a trio of kickoffs for 67 yards before picking up the injury in the second half. The deep Kansas City skill position group should be able to weather Pringle's absence if he's unable to work his way back into the game.

  • Jets' Braxton Berrios: No targets in Week 11

    Berrios wasn't targeted in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chargers. He had three punt returns for 60 yards and one kick return for 16 yards.

    Berrios made a peculiar choice on the game's final play with the Chargers kicking the ball away after a safety. Rather than trying to lateral the ball to give his team a chance, he ran a conventional return and was easily tackled to end the game. With starting slot receiver Jamison Crowder healthy, Berrios' recent contributions have come almost exclusively on special teams.

  • Colts' Michael Pittman: Builds on breakout

    Pittman recorded three receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Packers.

    After breaking out in Week 10 thanks to commanding seven targets, Pittman showcased his big-play ability against the Packers. He did the majority of his damage on a short reception, after which he subsequently weaved through the opposing secondary to find the end zone for a 45-yard touchdown. His remaining two receptions went for a combined 21 yards, though Pittman continues to establish himself as a favorite target of Philip Rivers. Pittman will look to continue his breakout in a Week 12 matchup against the Titans.

  • Jets' Jamison Crowder: Held to one catch

    Crowder caught one of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chargers.

    Crowder didn't get much attention from backup quarterback Joe Flacco, who elected to push the ball downfield outside the numbers rather than dumping it down to Crowder underneath. The slot receiver will hope to bounce back against the Dolphins in Week 12, though it's still unclear at this point if he'll be catching passes from Flacco or Sam Darnold (shoulder). Crowder had seven catches in the shutout Week 6 loss to Miami, and he has caught at least seven balls in four of six games played this season.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Stays hot in Sunday's loss

    Jefferson caught three of five targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys.

    Despite low target volume, Jefferson still produced big numbers thanks to a 39-yard TD catch late in the fourth quarter that gave the Vikings their last lead of the game. The rookie receiver is on pace for over 70 catches and 1,300 receiving yards heading into a Week 12 clash with the Panthers.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: Two more TDs in loss

    Thielen caught eight of 11 targets for 123 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys.

    For the second straight game, Thielen found the end zone twice, as he grabbed TD strikes of two and three yards from Kirk Cousins as the game opened up in the second half Sunday. Thielen also set a new season high in receiving yards, and his 11 scores through 10 games is already a new career high heading into Week 12's clash with the Panthers.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Packers' Davante Adams: Another efficient performance

    Adams recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Colts.

    Adams didn't rack up his usual double-digit targets, but did make the most of his opportunity in all areas of the field. He found the end zone for his 10th touchdown of the campaign on a five-yard reception midway through the second quarter. While Marquez Valdes-Scantling maintained his role as the primary deep threat, Adams did also manage to log field-stretching receptions of 33, 20, 18 and 14 yards. Adams will face a stiff test in Week 12 against the Bears, though his target volume should help him overcome the poor matchup.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: TD grab in win over Vikings

    Lamb caught four of six targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Vikings. He also gained 12 rushing yards on two carries and ran in a two-point conversion.

    While the rookie didn't gain much real estate, Lamb grabbed his fourth TD of the season in the second quarter on a four-yard toss from Andy Dalton. The entire Cowboys offense looked much improved after the team's bye with Dalton back under center, and as a result Lamb's fantasy fortunes are on the upswing again heading into a Thanksgiving clash with Washington.

  • Amari Cooper WR | LV

    Cowboys' Amari Cooper: Leads team in receiving Sunday

    Cooper caught six of seven targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Vikings.

    Andy Dalton did an excellent job spreading the ball around, as nine different Cowboys hauled in at least one catch, but it was Cooper who led the team in receptions, targets and yards. Despite the turmoil in the offense since Dak Prescott (ankle) got hurt, Cooper's still on pace for career highs in catches and targets, as well as the fourth 1,000-yard campaign of his career. He'll look to keep rolling in a Thanksgiving clash with Washington.
