Jefferson recorded two receptions on five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win against the Bears.

Sam Darnold ripped through the Chicago secondary to record seven completions of at least 20 yards, making Jefferson's line even more disappointing. He did have a 40-yard touchdown nullified late in the fourth quarter by offensive pass interference on an apparent pick play. Jefferson has now failed to reach 100 receiving yards in three consecutive contests.

Patrick brought in all four of his targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts.

Patrick saw a little extra work with Kalif Raymond (foot) exiting the contest in the second half. The 31-year-old Patrick was already operating as the Lions' third receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, so his role is unlikely to change much if Raymond is unable to go in Week 13. Patrick should be considered a deep-league fantasy option for Thursday's holiday matchup against the Bears.

Pierce had one reception (on four targets) for 39 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.

Pierce finished as the Colts' second-leading receiver in a game during which quarterback Anthony Richardson completed just 11 pass attempts. The 24-year-old Pierce did reach a new career high in single-season receiving yards (629) despite his one-catch performance. Pierce has played well overall given the murky QB situation in Indianapolis, keeping him in the conversation for deeper fantasy formats against the Patriots next Sunday.

Williams had five receptions (on seven targets) for 64 yards while adding one rushing attempt for four yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts.

The Lions didn't need their top wideouts much in a comfortable win over the Colts, leading to modest stat lines for Williams and the rest of Detroit's receiving corps, though he did lead the team in receiving yardage. The 23-year-old has been hot and cold this season, resulting in a 29-602-4 line through nine healthy games. Williams' home-run potential will keep him a viable fantasy option for the contending Lions in a home matchup against the Bears on Thanksgiving Day.

McLaurin brought in five of six targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders' 34-26 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

McLaurin finished with a team-high yardage total thanks to a miracle 86-yard touchdown reception with 21 seconds remaining on a play where the Cowboys were playing a heavy prevent defense. Prior to that unlikely catch, however, McLaurin had netted just 16 yards on four receptions and appeared headed to his third sub-20-yard receiving tally over the last four games. Despite the significant volatility in his production, McLaurin remains an every-week fantasy starter thanks to his upside as the Commanders prepare to tangle with the Titans in a Week 13 home battle.

Pittman caught six of seven targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to Detroit.

Pittman finished with the highest fantasy score of any receiver on either team Sunday after neither side threw a passing touchdown. The 26-year-old has produced 41 receptions for 508 yards and two touchdowns across 11 games, a far cry from the 109-1,152-4 receiving line he posted over 16 games in 2023. Pittman should be considered a fringe fantasy option in standard formats heading into next Sunday's tilt against New England.

Collins recorded five receptions on nine targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Titans.

Collins did the majority of his damage early in the game, first scoring from five yards away midway through the second quarter. He then caught a 56-yard pass to set up a field goal just before halftime. Collins also broke free for an apparent 33-yard yard score late in the fourth quarter, though it was nullified by a penalty-- the second consecutive week he's had a score called back. Despite that disappointment, Collins was more involved in the offense in his second game since returning from a hamstring injury, and he should be an elite fantasy option moving forward.

Lamb brought in 10 of 12 targets for 67 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Cowboys' 34-26 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

Lamb led the Cowboys in receptions, receiving yards and targets on a day when he was atypically contained to mostly short-area targets. The talented wideout still clawed his way to a fantasy-relevant effort while once again displaying plenty of chemistry with fill-in quarterback Cooper Rush, and the duo has now connected on 18 occasions for 160 yards on 24 pass attempts over the last two games. Lamb projects to remain heavily involved in a Week 13 home matchup against the Giants on Thanksgiving Day.

St. Brown corralled six of seven targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over Indianapolis.

St. Brown led his team in receptions while tying Jameson Williams for the lead in targets Sunday. The former was unable to push his impressive scoring streak past eight weeks, but he still produced decent fantasy totals for managers in PPR formats. St. Brown has accrued a 71-747-9 receiving line through 11 contests, making him one of the premier wideouts in the NFL ahead of a Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Bears.

Hill brought in five of six targets for 48 yards in the Dolphins' 34-15 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Hill played a clear second fiddle to the somewhat unlikely duo of Jaylen Waddle and Jonnu Smith, who accounted for 17 of Tua Tagovailoa's completions, 231 of his yards and half of his four touchdown passes on the afternoon. Hill was a distant third in receptions, receiving yards and targets to both of his fellow pass catchers, and he's now mired in a 10-game streak of failing to clear 80 receiving yards heading into a Week 13 road showdown against the Packers on Thanksgiving Night this Thursday.
