Beasley caught five of seven targets for 51 yards during Sunday's 22-19 win over the Falcons.

Beasley led the team's wideouts in targets, catches and yards, though he finished with rather modest numbers. He could've added a touchdown catch to his line, but he uncharacteristically dropped an easy one on the opening drive of the game. Beasley's output was his best since the acquisition of Amari Cooper, who was held in check while drawing five targets on the day. He isn't much of a fantasy factor outside deep PPR formats and will likely continue as such in the Thanksgiving matchup with Washington.

Moore brought in seven of eight targets for 157 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 20-19 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

The rookie set career highs in receptions, targets and receiving yards, while also finding the end zone for the first time since Week 2. Moore's eight-yard touchdown grab with 1:07 remaining brought the Panthers within one, but a subsequent two-point conversion pass attempt to Jarius Wright fell incomplete. Although the afternoon was certainly a disappointment from a team perspective, Moore's performance was a welcome sight from a fantasy one after he had totaled just 36 combined receiving yards over the prior two games. He'll look to build on Sunday's effort against the Seahawks in Week 12.

Cooper caught three of five targets for 36 yards during Sunday's 22-19 win over the Falcons.

Cooper finished tied for third on the team in targets and managed a long gain of just 17 yards. He was held off the board entirely in the first half and never really got going despite what looked like a favorable matchup on paper. This performance is a tough pill to swallow for Cooper's fantasy owners, who were surely encouraged by his first two efforts with his new team. He'll look to get back on track in another potentially favorable matchup against the Redskins on Thanksgiving.

Boyd caught four of 11 targets for 71 yards during Sunday's 24-21 loss to Baltimore.

Boyd delivered big in the opening seconds of the second quarter, helping convert a 3rd and long with a 29-yard reception down field, setting up a Joe Mixon touchdown run. Boyd has been the man in A.J. Green's (foot) absence, seeing 15 total targets, including a team-high 11 on Sunday. Expect those targets to keep coming against a tough Browns defense next in Week 12.

Beckham brought in all four of his targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 38-35 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed once for 11 yards.

Beckham showed off his strong hands on an eight-yard touchdown reception early in the fourth quarter that extended the Giants' lead to 30-14 pending an Aldrick Rosas extra point. The star wideout's target share was his lowest of the season by far, but with Eli Manning only throwing 18 passes on the day, Beckham still accounted for a notable cut of the passing game looks on the day. The 26-year-old has now found the end zone thrice over the last two games, a streak he'll look to continue against the Eagles in a Week 12 divisional battle.

Evans brought in six of seven targets for 120 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 38-35 loss to the Giants on Sunday. He also recovered a Jameis Winston fumble in the end zone for a touchdown.

Evans bounced back nicely from two subpar weeks, eclipsing the 100-yard mark and notching a receiving touchdown for the first time in three games. Moreover, he was credited with another score on a recovery of a third-quarter fumble of Winston in the end zone. Evans' 41-yard TD reception with 2:22 remaining gave the Bucs hope by bringing them to within 38-35, but Winston ultimately threw an interception with 23 seconds left that sealed Tampa's fate. Evans will look to build on his impressive performance versus the 49ers in Week 12.

Montgomery is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

He'll join a Baltimore backfield led by Alex Collins, that also includes Javorius Allen and Gus Edwards. Montgomery's ability as a pass catcher and blocker should prove to be an asset to the Ravens, but he'll be a speculative fantasy play until it's established that he's a key cog in the team's passing attack.

Smith is a coach's decision inactive for Sunday's game against the Redskins.

Smith was active for Houston's last two games, playing 11 snaps and not catching a pass. He appears to be last on the team's wide receiver depth chart. The Texans picked up DeAndre Carter two weeks ago and are giving him the nod in place of Smith.

Powell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

The Lions' trade of Golden Tate to the Eagles on Oct. 30 was expected to open up more opportunities for Powell, but the undrafted rookie out of Florida hasn't done much with his opportunities thus far. Though he dressed for each of the past three games, Powell was only targeted three times -- all in last week's 34-22 loss to the Bears -- across 26 offensive snaps. Powell also lost out on kick-return duties against Chicago and will now be excluded from the gameday lineup entirely in Week 11 with the newly signed Andy Jones taking his spot.

Boyd is once again in line to serve as a primary target in the passing game with A.J. Green (toe) listed as inactive Sunday against the Ravens.

Boyd has seen a snap share of 93 percent or greater in each of the last four weeks, but he led that category for just the second time all season in Week 10 with A.J. Green (toe) out. Green will sit yet again Sunday, and while fellow receiver John Ross (groin) is listed as active as well, Boyd should see plenty of time on the field. He failed to take advantage of this opportunity last week against New Orleans -- seeing only four targets in the passing game -- but much of that can be attributed to the blowout nature of a game that Cincinnati was never really competitive in. Expect more targets Sunday afternoon, though it is worth noting that Baltimore sports the fifth-best defense against wide receivers in PPR formats, and sixth-best in standard leagues. Boyd's upside comes largely from expected volume in an offense that can only go up after a dreadful Week 10 performance.
