Sutton caught four of five targets for 74 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers.

Sutton made a tremendous impact early in the game, connecting with Drew Lock for a pair of touchdowns to put his team ahead in the first quarter. The highlight of the day came on the first of the two, when he beat his defender to the outside and made the grab while diving into the end zone. Those who feared for Sutton's fantasy value with Lock at quarterback can breathe a sigh of relief for now, as the duo will enjoy a favorable matchup against the Texans next week.

Smith caught two of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Bengals.

Smith had a limited impact as usual in his role as a depth receiver. There's still time for the 23-year-old undrafted free agent out of Limestone College to gain fantasy relevance as his career unfolds, but Smith can be ignored in all formats at this stage.

Montgomery rushed once for seven yards and caught his lone target for one yard in Sunday's 22-6 loss to Cincinnati.

Montgomery has totaled more than 20 yards from scrimmage only once all season, and that was way back in Week 2. He remains locked into a third-string role behind Le'Veon Bell and Bilal Powell.

Kirk caught three of seven targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Rams.

Despite tying Larry Fitzgerald for the team lead in targets, Kirk wound up posting his second-lowest yardage total of the year. It's the third time in the last four games he's averaged less than 5.0 yards per target, a poor showing for a player with his big-play potential, and he may not have much more success in next week's tilt against the Steelers.

Crowder caught just two of nine targets for eight yards in Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Bengals.

Crowder and quarterback Sam Darnold couldn't get on the same page in this one, as the slot receiver failed to crack double-digit receiving yards for the first time as a member of the Jets. His nine targets suggest that Crowder remains an integral part of the offense, and he'll have a nice opportunity to get back on track against the beatable Dolphins secondary in Week 14.

Williams caught five of his seven targets for 117 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Broncos.

While Williams' season-long battle with the end zone continues to get the best of the 25-year-old, it's clear the 2017 first-round pick has easily emerged as the Chargers' premiere deep threat. A 52-yard reception in the first half ultimately set up the team's first offensive touchdown, and it arguably should have been Williams' first jaunt in the end zone as well if not for a woefully under-thrown ball from quarterback Philip Rivers that forced the wide open receiver to derail his momentum on the deep pass. Williams later made a Herculean effort on a 4th-and-11 with just under two minutes remaining in the game, high-pointing the deep pass with one hand to bring in the ball, setting the stage for what appeared to be an overtime-forcing field goal. At some point or another, Williams, who easily surpassed his career high in total receiving yards Sunday, is due for some positive touchdown regression. However, it remains to be seen who will be throwing him the ball, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reported earlier Sunday that the Chargers may look to bench Philip Rivers if he continues to struggle.

Allen caught all six of his targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Broncos.

Allen rebounded from a four-catch, 18-yard outing against the Broncos in Week 4, taking advantage of broken coverage from cornerback Chris Harris to record his second straight game with at least 60 receiving yards and a touchdown. A possible change at quarterback is about the only thing stopping Allen at this point, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com suggested the Chargers may look to bench Philip Rivers in the event the team continues to struggle.

Johnson caught only one of his five targets for a 14-yard gain and added a 17-yard run during Sunday's 20-13 win over Cleveland.

The rookie receiver might be in the doghouse after Sunday's game, as he stopped running and helped surrender what might have been a costly interception late in Sunday's contest. Johnson has been targeted plenty in recent weeks, but he's topped 30 yards receiving just once in his last five games. The elixir could be on tap in Week 14 against a weak Arizona pass defense. Johnson should get his opportunities whether or not JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) continues to be sidelined, though Smith-Schuster's status for the game should still be monitored through the week.

Washington caught all four of his targets for 111 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Browns.

Washington made the most of JuJu Smith-Schuster's (knee) absence, nabbing a 30-yard touchdown just before halftime and then coming down with a 44-yard gain on the opening drive of the second half to set up Pittsburgh's only other touchdown on the day. Washington has been red hot despite drawing attention with Smith-Schuster out and mediocre quarterback play. He's topped 90 yards and scored in three of his last four games. He boasts an impressive 19.3 yards-per-catch average and faces off Sunday against an Arizona defense that has been burned deep all season, surrendering 4.9 passing plays of at least 20 yards per game this season, including nine in Week 13 against the Rams.

Agholor caught three of six targets for 41 yards during Sunday's 37-31 loss to the Dolphins.

The 26-year-old wideout's face was stricken with agony after a potential touchdown opportunity slipped past his fingertips, as a Carson Wentz pass on 2nd-and-goal late in the second quarter sailed just high of Agholor's outstretched hands. J.J. Arcega-Whiteside hauled in a 15-yard TD on the subsequent play and Agholor caught a successful two-point conversion attempt, but fantasy GMs can't help wonder what might have been. Another scoreless afternoon now gives Agholor eight straight outings without a TD as the Eagles prepare for a Week 14 matchup against a Giants defense that ranks better than only Tampa Bay in terms of receiving yards allowed to opposing WRs this season (2,350).
