Washington failed to catch any of his three targets during Sunday's 24-17 loss to Denver.

The rookie has a paltry eight catches for 77 yards this season and seems to have fallen behind Ryan Switzer (26-214) on the depth chart. Both have just one touchdown each and have a difficult Week 13 match-up against the Chargers , who have allowed opposing wide receivers to score just one touchdown in the past three games.

Sutton recorded one catch for 14 yards during Sunday's 24-17 win against Pittsburgh.

The Broncos rookie wideout had been coming on strong before the Steelers top 10 pass defense neutralized him, holding Sutton to his second-lowest output in 11 career games with just 14 offensive yards. The 6-foot-4 receiver had become slightly more involved following the trade of Demaryius Thomas (5.5 targets per game post-trade, compared to 4.6 per game before), but against Pittsburgh he was not only less utilized (four), he was also less efficient (25 percent catch rate). Week 13 brings a chance to rebound against a Bengals defense that ranks 31st in the NFL against the pass this season with 292.2 yards allowed per game through the air.

St. Brown (elbow) returned to Sunday's game against the Vikings, Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

St. Brown picked up an elbow injury in the third quarter, but the receiver's return to the field is evidence it isn't severe.

Smith-Schuster corralled 13 of a team-high 17 targets, amassing 189 receiving yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.

Smith-Schuster enjoyed the second-best receiving output of his young career in what was a monster day at Mile High. With a dazzling 97-yard touchdown catch and run, he now has two scores of 97-plus yards for his career (he and Gaynell Tinsley are the only players in NFL history to do so). The 22-year-old wideout has been a high-end WR2 option in most formats, with at least four receptions or 90 receiving yards in every game this year. Week 13's matchup provides at least a sliver of doubt that the streak will be extended, facing a Chargers defense that allows the fourth-fewest WR receptions (120) and the sixth-fewest receiving yards to the position (1,554).

St. Brown suffered an elbow injury during Sunday's game in Minnesota and is questionable to return , Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

The rookie wideout seems to be gearing up for a return, catching passes on the sideline from backup quarterback DeShone Kizer, per Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. St. Brown hauled in each of his three targets for 53 yards prior to exiting the contest in the third quarter. He briefly went to the locker room and then came back to the sideline with his elbow taped.

Williams caught all four of his targets for 25 yards and two touchdowns in the 45-10 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Tyrell Williams (quadriceps) was active for Sunday's game despite putting together back-to-back limited practices to conclude the week, but it was Mike Williams who wound up being the star of the show, recording the second multi-touchdown game of his young career. The likes of Keenan Allen, Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler have made it nearly impossible for Williams to see an extended amount of targets, but the second-year wide receiver remains a certifiable threat near the red zone. Should the Chargers choose to work the No. 7 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft into the offense more, there's a strong possibility Williams could become a starting caliber fantasy option in most formats.

Kirk caught four of six targets for 41 yards during Sunday's 45-10 loss to the Chargers.

Kirk led the team in targets and catches while contributing to nearly half of Josh Rosen's passing production on the day. Unfortunately, the signal caller finished with just over 100 passing yards on the day, limiting Kirk's potential to produce. He's totaled a respectable 536 receiving yards to this point in his rookie season, but efficiency and consistency have been hard to come by. He'll look to bounce back next Sunday against the Packers.

Allen caught all seven of his targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in the 45-10 win Sunday over the Cardinals.

Allen had a number of astounding catches in this contest, including a 20-yard tip-toeing reception which set up a touchdown to end the second quarter, and then a similarly difficult catch near the back end zone to begin the second half, which put the contest out of reach. Allen has only topped 100 receiving yards twice this season, but three straight weeks with a touchdown has turned the tables on what could have been a disappointing fantasy season for the Chargers' top receiver.

Foster caught two of three targets for 94 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-21 win over the Jaguars.

Foster's highlight came in the first quarter when rookie Josh Allen found him deep for a 75-yard strike to put Buffalo up by two touchdowns. The rookie had just two catches on the season heading into last week, but has five during Buffalo's two-game winning streak, three having gone for 40 yards or more. He gets a very favorable matchup to keep that going next Sunday against a Miami defense giving up 12.4 yards per catch, among the bottom five in the league.

Jones was unable to gather his only target during Sunday's 24-21 win over the Jaguars.

Jones' best play of the day actually came on special teams, when he recovered the Jaguars' last-ditch onside kick. That's probably a disappointment seeing as how he had season highs in catches, targets and yards last week against the Jets. Jones needs to get a better rapport with rookie as quarterback Josh Allen, as he has averaged 28.8 yards per game with Allen starting as compared to 43.8 yards without him. A matchup against a middle-of-the-road Miami defense awaits next week.
