  • Malik Turner WR | SF

    Seahawks' Malik Turner: Notches first career TD

    Turner caught a 33-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Eagles.

    The Seahawks caught the Eagles off guard in the first quarter with a flea flicker, and Russell Wilson found Turner in the end zone for his only passing touchdown of the afternoon. This was Turner's first touchdown of his career, and he now has 10 catches for 186 yards on 13 targets this year. His fantasy ceiling is still capped as a rotational option behind Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and Josh Gordon.

  • Saints' Michael Thomas: Historically prolific year persists

    Thomas corralled 10 of 11 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 34-31 win against Carolina.

    Coming into Week 12, Thomas had accounted for more receptions than the Eagles' (93) and Ravens' (74) entire wide receiver corps, and by the conclusion of the first quarter against the Panthers, he had already hauled in six passes to reach the century mark for the season. With 104 grabs through 11 games thus far in 2019, Thomas finds himself on pace to break Marvin Harrison's single-season receptions record (143) by eight. It's a delectable matchup forthcoming for Thomas on Thanksgiving night, facing a Falcons defense that surrendered a combined 11 catches for 234 yards and two touchdowns to Buccaneers top targets Chris Godwin and Mike Evans on Sunday.

  • DeVante Parker WR | PHI

    Dolphins' DeVante Parker: Six-catch effort in loss

    Parker brought in six of 11 targets for 91 yards in the Dolphins' 41-24 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Parker shared the team lead in receptions with Albert Wilson while pacing the Dolphins in receiving yardage. The 2015 first-round pick is quietly putting together a solid season, as he's become a favorite downfield target of Ryan Fitzpatrick's and now has 695 receiving yards through 11 games, the second-highest tally of his career. Parker has at least five receptions in five of the last six games, giving him a solid fantasy floor in all formats heading into a Week 13 battle versus the Eagles.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Registers 35 yards

    Metcalf caught three of six targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Eagles.

    The Seahawks struggled to get things going through the air -- Russell Wilson completed 13 passes for 200 yards -- so Metcalf ended up below 50 yards for the fourth time this year. The rookie wideout's stat line would've been more appealing had he hung onto a 38-yard pass in the end zone. Metcalf and the Seahawks will look to notch their 10th win in Week 13 against the Vikings.

  • Cole Beasley WR | NYG

    Bills' Cole Beasley: Leads way for pass offense

    Beasley finished Sunday's 20-3 win over Denver having caught six of nine passes for 76 yards and a touchdown.

    Beasley led the Bills across receiving categories Sunday as Denver, for the most part, attempted to take away John Brown. Beasley stepped up to the challenge, gaining 30-yards on a catch-and-run crosser to set up a second-quarter field goal and then splitting the seam during the first drive of the second half to reel in an 18-yard touchdown. Beasley is finding a groove in Buffalo with at least four catches in each of his last three games and four touchdowns in his last six outings. Thursday brings a trip to Dallas' top-10 pass defense, but Beasley figures to be fired up to take on his old team. It's worth noting Beasley did leave the game briefly due to an undisclosed injury, but he returned shortly thereafter.

  • Jakeem Grant WR | ATL

    Dolphins' Jakeem Grant: Wearing walking boot

    Grant (ankle) was spotted with a walking boot on his right foot following Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Browns, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Grant was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Browns during the first quarter, and he was unable to retake the field. The depth wideout and return specialist has avoided sustaining any broken bones, according to Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald, but a timetable for his recovery remains uncertain at this time. Allen Hurns stands to play an increased role in Miami's receiving corps as long as Grant is unable to play.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Quiet day in Week 12 win

    Evans secured four of eight targets for 50 yards in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Evans tied position mate Chris Godwin for the team lead in targets, but he was a distant second in receptions and particularly receiving yardage. Evans and Godwin appear to often alternate weeks as the top target for Jameis Winston, and while Sunday was definitely Evans' turn to play second fiddle, he did eclipse the 1,000-yard mark for the sixth straight season to open his career with Sunday's tally. The multi-time Pro Bowler naturally retains plenty of upside heading into a Week 13 interconference tilt against the Jaguars.

  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Accounts for just one reception

    Lockett hauled in a 38-yard pass on two targets in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Eagles.

    Lockett received clearance after suffering a shin injury during the Week 10 win over the 49ers, and he was unproductive against a normally weak Philly secondary. Despite making just one catch, Lockett led the Seahawks in receiving yards as Russell Wilson spread out his 13 completions to seven different targets. This was just the third time this season Lockett finished with less than 51 receiving yards, and he'll look to get back on track in Week 13's clash against the Vikings.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Monster performance in Week 12 win

    Godwin brought in seven of eight targets for 184 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Godwin got his day started in earnest with a beautiful 71-yard touchdown grab in extremely tight coverage midway through the first quarter, giving the Buccaneers their first points of the contest. He'd eventually also make another impressive catch in much closer quarters, bringing in a one-yard scoring throw in the second quarter on a play where the ball appeared to carom into his hands off the defender's body. Godwin eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the season with his stellar afternoon, one that featured a career high in receiving yardage and his first 100-yard game since Week 6. The stellar third-year pro will look to follow up his memorable performance in a Week 13 interconference matchup against the in-state Jaguars.

  • Browns' Odell Beckham: Finds end zone in win over Dolphins

    Beckham caught six of eight targets for 84 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 41-24 win over the Dolphins.

    Beckham helped his team get off to a fast start with a beautiful 35-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. He was limited mostly to short gains on his other receptions but still did enough to come away with his fourth-best receiving output of the season. Beckham's touchdown was also his first since Week 2, and he'll look to build on this effort next Sunday against the Steelers.
