Iosivas caught all three of his targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers.

Iosivas saw his playing time take a hit Sunday with the return of Tee Higgins (quadricep) to the lineup, but the second-year wideout recorded his highest yardage total since Week 3. Though Iosivas has shown flashes this season, his role as the No. 3 wide receiver with both Ja'Marr Chase and Higgins healthy will limit his potential for consistent fantasy production. The Princeton product would be best left out of fantasy lineups when the Bengals return from their Week 12 bye to face the Steelers in Week 13.

Washington caught all three of his targets for 11 yards and added one rush for seven yards in Sunday's 34-19 win over the Raiders.

Washington's 40 percent snap share Sunday was his largest of the season, though the rookie wideout was unable to produce much on his four total touches in the contest. The Dolphins have made it a point to get the ball in his hands a few times in recent weeks, hoping for a spark in what has been an underwhelming offensive attack compared to Miami's high-powered offense in 2023. Even so, Washington lacks enough usage to make him fantasy relevant behind fellow wide receivers Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Odell Beckham. The Dolphins are set to host the Patriots in Week 12.

Beckham caught two of four targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 34-19 win over the Raiders.

After seeing his highest snap share (32 percent) of the season in Week 10, Beckham played just 24 percent of Miami's offensive snaps against the Raiders on Sunday. The veteran wideout's 13 receiving yards were his lowest in a contest in which he has recorded a catch. In the six games he's played, Beckham has totaled just seven catches for 45 yards. With such little volume in the Dolphins' passing attack, Beckham can be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 12 matchup with the Patriots.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday that Cooks (knee) is getting close to a return from injured reserve and could be activated as soon as this week, Saad Yousuf of The Athletic reports.

Before becoming a realistic candidate to play this Sunday against the Commanders, Cooks will first have to return to practice, as the Cowboys have yet to open his 21-day evaluation window. McCarthy's comments suggest that the veteran wideout is improving after he developed an infection in his right knee following a surgical procedure, but the team still may want to take a cautious approach with his return. The 3-7 Cowboys have faded from the NFC playoff picture following five consecutive losses and have little incentive to rush him back. Cooks suited up in each of Dallas' first four games of the season and recorded nine catches for 91 yards and a touchdown on 19 targets.

The Browns listed Moore (shoulder) as a limited practice participant Tuesday.

Moore has now gone down as a limited participant on the Browns' first two Week 12 injury reports, but the team hasn't yet suggested that he's in any danger of missing Thursday's game against the Steelers. The fourth-year wideout has enjoyed his best run of production of the season since Jameis Winston took over as the starting quarterback, recording 17 receptions for 179 yards and a touchdown on 29 targets over the past three contests.

McCloud caught all six of his targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Broncos.

McCloud tied his season high with six receptions, a mark he's reached three times. He continues to play nearly every offensive snap but remains firmly behind Drake London and Darnell Mooney on the WR depth chart, with TE Kyle Pitts and RB Bijan Robinson also siphoning targets from Kirk Cousins. McCloud already has career-high marks in receptions (41) and receiving yards (381) this season, and his role as the top slot wideout isn't in danger.

Hodge caught both of his targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Broncos.

Hodge caught multiple passes for a second time this season. However, outside of those two outings, he's been targeted in only one other game. He's played double-digit offensive snaps in four of the last eight games, but, more often than not, he's left completely out of the Falcons' offensive game plan.

The Jaguars placed Davis (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Davis will miss the rest of the season after he suffered a torn meniscus in Sunday's 52-6 loss to the Lions that will need to be surgically repaired. He becomes the second Jaguars starting receiver to go down with a season-ending injury, after Christian Kirk fractured his collarbone in a Week 8 loss to the Packers. The Jaguars are now left with rookie Brian Thomas as their top option at receiver, while the absences of Davis and Kirk could open up more reps for Parker Washington, Tim Jones and Devin Duvernay over the team's final six games. After signing a three-year, $39 million contract in March, Davis will finish his first season in Jacksonville with 20 receptions for 239 yards and two touchdowns on 42 targets over his 10 appearances.

Watson reeled in both of his targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 30-21 loss against the Bills.

Despite matching his two-catch and two-target total from a week ago, Watson notably played a significantly lower snap percentage (56 percent) compared to what he drew (75 percent) last week and in preceding games. That likely correlates with the return of JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) from a multiweek absence, leaving Watson slightly lower on the pecking order for reps. He finished with the second-most offensive snaps (31) behind Xavier Worthy (32), but Watson doesn't produce enough to warrant fantasy consideration in most leagues.

Smith-Schuster hauled in his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 30-21 loss to the Bills.

Smith-Schuster logged only 20 snaps in his return to action Sunday, turning the limited run into just one grab. Following the trade deadline acquisition of DeAndre Hopkins, Smith-Schuster's seven-catch, 130-yard performance against the Saints in Week 5 seems unlikely to be replicated. Still, Smith-Schuster figures to handle a regular role on offense for the rest of the regular season due to the Chiefs' thinned-out wide receiver room because of injury.
