McConkey caught six of his nine targets for 123 yards in the 34-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

McConkey was briefly in the locker room due to an apparent shoulder injury in the first half, but the rookie returned relatively shortly thereafter. Justin Herbert found the Georgia product twice on the final drive of the game, as McConkey tallied receptions of 28 and 27 yards to help put the team in field-goal range before J.K. Dobbins punctuated the win with a long touchdown run. This is now the eighth time this season McConkey has led all Chargers receivers in targets as he continues to emerge as Herbert's go-to target. Expect the 23-year-old to be poised with more opportunities next week against a susceptible Ravens pass defense.

Raymond caught both of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 52-6 win over Jacksonville.

Raymond was able to secure a pair of catches after going without a reception in Week 10 against the Texans, notching his highest yardage total since Week 7. The wide receiver continues to operate as a small piece in a massively successful Detroit offense, reeling in 16 catches for 204 yards over 10 games in 2024.

Hopkins caught three of four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 30-21 loss to Buffalo.

Hopkins actually finished as the team's second-leading receiver despite his mild statistical output Sunday. It was a rough day overall for Kansas City's key receivers outside of rookie Xavier Worthy (4-61-1). Hopkins was targeted in the end zone late in the contest, but he drew a pass interference penalty instead. The Chiefs will lick their wounds and try to bounce back in a softer matchup against the Panthers next Sunday.

Cooper (wrist) caught two of three targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 30-21 win over the Chiefs.

Cooper made a successful return from a wrist injury that cost him two-plus games and left the wideout listed as questionable for Week 11. The 10-year pro made his mark on the game with a pair of big-chunk gains on his two receptions as Buffalo dealt Kansas City its first loss of the season. With no setbacks reported and a bye week on tap, fantasy managers can expect a well-rested Cooper back for a Week 13 matchup against the 49ers on Dec. 1.

Shakir had eight receptions on 12 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 30-21 victory over the Chiefs.

Shakir finished as the Bills' leading receiver in a decisive victory over another conference contender. The 24-year-old has blossomed into a consistent fantasy asset in his third year. Through 10 games this season, Shakir is just 12 yards shy of matching his entire production during the 2023 regular season in seven fewer games. The receiver's lack of touchdowns (two) has kept him from becoming a certified fantasy breakout as the Bills enter a bye week.

Worthy had four receptions (on five targets) for 61 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for seven yards in Sunday's 30-21 loss to Buffalo.

Worthy snapped out of his recent funk to lead the Chiefs in receiving yardage while scoring for the sixth time this season. The versatile speedster had netted just one yard over his last two starts, but Sunday's strong output should restore some faith in fantasy managers. The Chiefs will attempt to bounce back next Sunday, in the same fashion Worthy did this Sunday, against the Panthers in Week 12.

Metcalf (knee) finished with seven receptions (on nine targets) for 70 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over San Francisco.

Metcalf returned from a knee injury sustained in Week 7 to reclaim his starting role in an upset victory for Seattle. The physically gifted wideout saw his usual allotment of targets (nine) while Jaxon Smith-Njigba (10-110-0) stayed hot with his star teammate returning Sunday. A healthy Metcalf should be considered a plus fantasy play against Arizona next Sunday.

Smith-Njigba brought in 10 of 11 targets for 110 yards while taking his lone carry for eight yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the 49ers.

Smith-Njigba stayed hot out of Seattle's Week 10 bye with his third 100-plus yard performance of the season. The 2023 first-round pick is hitting his stride mid-season for the 5-5 Seahawks while providing a couple of monster receiving lines for fantasy managers. Continue to ride Smith-Njigba in Week 12 as the Seahawks prepare to host the Cardinals next Sunday.

Samuel had four receptions (on seven targets) for 22 yards while losing one yard on his only rushing attempt in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.

Samuel was blanketed by the Seahawks' athletic secondary due to George Kittle (hamstring) being inactive and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) done for the season. For reference, Samuel feasted on the Seahawks for 117 yards and a touchdown back in Week 6 when the receiving corps was at full strength. If Kittle is good to go for Week 12 after almost being able to suit up Sunday, then San Francisco's offense will look more like we have become accustomed to.

Toney had one carry for minus-seven yards in Sunday's 35-14 loss to New Orleans in Week 11.

Toney was elevated from the practice squad for the game and was never expected to see much use. The fifth-year wideout went untargeted on a day when Cleveland threw the ball a season-high 47 times. Toney took the roster spot that had been going to Jaelon Darden, who was a healthy inactive.
