Smith brought in one of three targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 34-31 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Smith crossed the goal line for the first time since Week 1, though his touchdown grab was his only look from Drew Brees. Smith started the year on solid footing, but in four games played since Week 2, he's accounted for just 26 receiving yards and a touchdown on two receptions. He's seen a meager 11 targets through six games this season and doesn't belong on fantasy rosters outside the deepest of leagues.

Smith caught his lone target for 22 yards in Sunday's 34-3 win over Oakland. He also returned one kick for 19 yards.

Smith continues to get the occasional look on offense, but his involvement isn't consistent enough to warrant fantasy consideration at this point. His 22 receiving yards represent a new single-game career high in that category.

Perriman secured his only target for 44 yards in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Perriman's one touch made an impact, as he had the second-longest catch of the day for the Buccaneers. He's one of the lower-volume No. 3 receivers in the league, having notched more than two receptions in only one game this season and already having been blanked altogether on three occasions. Therefore, even though the young veteran boasts plenty of speed, he remains a speculative play each week.

Gage caught eight of 10 targets for 76 yards during Sunday's 35-22 loss to Tampa Bay.

The second-year wideout has been establishing himself as a deep-league consideration of late, accumulating 5.3 catches and 47.3 yards per game since Week 8 after managing fewer than one reception and 6.3 yards per game over his first seven appearances of the year. Gage's 76-yard day established a new career best for the former LSU Tiger, but it'd be surprising if he were able to produce a comparable or better output in his upcoming matchup, facing New Orleans' top-12 pass defense on a short week.

Berrios caught his lone target for 69 yards in Sunday's 34-3 win over Oakland. He also returned one punt for 26 yards.

Berrios found a soft spot in the defense and looked like he was going to zoom away for a touchdown, only to be tackled at the 1-yard line. The Jets got into the end zone one play later, but the 24-year-old receiver was left just short of his first NFL touchdown. While Berrios' contributions come primarily on special teams, it's good to know he's capable of making the occasional play on offense when called upon.

Montgomery rushed five times for two yards and caught one of two targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Raiders.

Montgomery racked up some garbage-time touches, but he remains a non-factor as long as starting running back Le'Veon Bell is healthy.

Humphries hauled in all three of his targets for 20 yards in the team's Week 12 win over the Jaguars.

Humphries finished second on the team with three receptions, but failed to make an impact. His longest catch went for just eight yards, with his other two receptions going for just six yards each. Though Humphries has converted 80 percent of his 45 targets into catches this season, that has turned into only 361 receiving yards. That said, he's dependent on finding the end zone to return any type of viable fantasy contribution. He'll look to do so in Week 13 against Miami.

Davis hauled in two of his three targets for 29 yards in the team's Week 12 win over the Jaguars.

Davis continues to fade into the background of the Titans' passing attack, as A.J. Brown exploded for a big performance in the win. Davis' three targets matched his fewest of the season, though he's now failed to surpass 30 receiving yards in four of his 10 games. While he's shown brief flashes of promise, Davis doesn't see enough volume to turn in consistent performances. On the other hand, he will draw a plus matchup against the Dolphins in Week 13, so he could be in for a boom performance.

Brown hauled in four of his five targets for 135 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 12 win over the Jaguars.

Brown led the team in targets, receptions and yards, his third explosive performance of the season. His standout catch came halfway through the third quarter, when he caught a Ryan Tannehill pass over the middle before turning upfield for a 65-yard touchdown. He also posted several other long receptions, including gains of 36, 19 and 15 yards. While Tannehill has moved the offense more effectively than Marcus Mariota, the Titans still focus on moving the ball predominantly on the ground rather than through the air. As a result, Brown is likely to remain only a volatile producer for the remainder of the season. That said, he'll draw a positive matchup against the Dolphins in Week 13.

Patrick caught one of three targets for three yards during Sunday's 20-3 loss in Buffalo.

Patrick helped covert the Broncos' first third-down of the game during the team's opening drive, hauling in a third-and-short pass right at the sticks. The Broncos converted just one more third down for the remainder of the game. Patrick, just two games into his comeback from a broken hand, has been a key target on third and fourth down, but he -- and Denver's offense as a whole -- appears to have met his ceiling with Brandon Allen at quarterback. His value heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers likely depends on whether the Drew Lock era has begun.
