Rashod Bateman WR | BAL
Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Hits pay dirt in win
Bateman caught two of three targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 30-23 win over the Chargers.
Bateman's touchdown Monday was his fifth score of the season, as the wideout is having his best statistical season as a Raven. The veteran has recorded 35 catches for 574 yards and five touchdowns through the first 12 games of the 2024 campaign. Bateman's touchdown against the Chargers came on a 40-yard pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson late in the first half to give the Ravens a lead that they wouldn't surrender for the rest of the contest. Operating as the No. 2 receiver in one of the league's best offenses, the 24-year-old has the potential to be useful for fantasy purposes most weeks while averaging over four targets per game. Bateman will look to build off of his solid Week 12 performance on limited touches when the Ravens host the Eagles in Week 13.

Jalen Reagor WR | MIA
Chargers' Jalen Reagor: Two grabs in Week 12
Reagor caught two of four targets for 20 yards in Monday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens.
Reagor's four targets marked a season high for the wideout. With that said, the veteran played just 30 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps as the team's No. 4 wide receiver behind Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer. With few opportunities in the Chargers' offense, Reagor should not be trusted for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Falcons.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Rough day against Ravens
Johnston failed to secure any of his five targets in Monday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens.
After finding the end zone three straight weeks, Johnston came crashing back down to Earth on Monday. The 23-year-old wideout struggled with drops, an issue that has plagued him during his young career. Additionally, his 65 percent offensive snap share was his lowest in the past four games, while rookie receiver Ladd McConkey led all Los Angeles wideouts in snaps and receiving yards against Baltimore. Johnston has proven he can have an impact for fantasy purposes in recent weeks, but his potential to be a true alpha receiver continues to be in question. The TCU product will look to bounce back when the Chargers visit the Falcons in Week 13.

Ricky Pearsall WR | SF
49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Non-factor in loss
Pearsall failed to record a target in Sunday's 39-10 loss to the Packers.
Pearsall played 33 of San Francisco's 49 offensive snaps Sunday, tied with Deebo Samuel for the second-most snaps among wide receivers behind Jauan Jennings (45). Despite handling his second-largest snap share of the season, the rookie wideout failed to earn a single target from quarterback Brandon Allen. Pearsall will look to bounce back after two straight weeks without a reception when the 49ers visit the Bills in Week 13.

Luke McCaffrey WR | WAS
Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Catches one pass against Dallas
McCaffrey caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Cowboys.
McCaffrey's minimal production continues to be a result of his limited usage within Washington's offense. The rookie wideout's 26 percent offensive snap share in the contest was his lowest of the season, and the 23-year-old has recorded just 14 catches for 142 scoreless yards through 12 games. McCaffrey should remain off the fantasy radar when the Commanders host the Titans in Week 13.
-
Dyami Brown WR | WAS
Commanders' Dyami Brown: Two grabs in loss
Brown caught both of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Cowboys.
Brown played just 24 of the Commanders' 70 offensive snaps Sunday and was unable to contribute much in the contest. The fourth-year wideout's sparse usage continues to limit his potential for fantasy production, as fellow receivers Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown are seeing most of the targets from quarterback Jayden Daniels. Brown remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Titans.

Olamide Zaccheaus WR | ATL
Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: One grab in loss
Zaccheaus caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Cowboys.
Zaccheaus played just 34 percent of Washington's offensive snaps Sunday and continued his streak of limited playing time in the Commanders' offense. The veteran has played over 50 percent of snaps just once this season, back in Week 5. Zaccheaus has recorded just one catch in each of the past three contests, as the 27-year-old is not a major part of Washington's offensive scheme. The sixth-year wideout should be ignored for fantasy purposes in a Week 13 matchup against Tennessee.
-
Adonai Mitchell WR | NYJ
Colts' Adonai Mitchell: One catch in loss
Mitchell caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.
Mitchell continued to operate as the Colts' No. 4 wide receiver, playing just 12 of 55 offensive snaps in the contest. The rookie wideout is simply not seeing enough volume in to sustain fantasy relevance on a consistent basis. Mitchell has recorded just 20 receptions for 254 yards through his first 12 games and has failed to find the end zone so far this season. The 22-year-old Texas product will be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Patriots.

Jahan Dotson WR | ATL
Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Continues one-catch streak
Dotson caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.
Dotson has now caught exactly one pass in four straight games. His yardage on his lone reception has decreased each week, going from 36 to 27 to eight to four. Expect a single reception for roughly one yard next week if the pattern continues.

Tre Tucker WR | LV
Raiders' Tre Tucker: Dealing with hip injury
Tucker was estimated as a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice due to a hip issue, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
It's unclear when Tucker hurt his hip, as he logged 84 percent of Las Vegas' offensive snaps in this past Sunday's loss to Denver and tied a season high with seven catches for 82 yards. Whether Tucker is in danger of missing Friday's game against Kansas City could become clearer when the Raiders hold their first non-walk-through practice of the week Wednesday.
