Mostert rushed twice for six yards and caught two passes on as many targets for seven yards in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys. He also returned two kickoffs for 42 yards.

Mostert handled four offensive touches despite playing only 15 snaps behind rookie Ashton Jeanty, who was stuffed for just seven yards on six carries to go along with six receptions for 27 yards on eight targets. It could be similarly tough sledding for this Raiders offense against a stout Browns defense in Week 12.

Sills caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers.

The 29-year-old played 37 of the Falcons' 66 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Drake London (knee) and Darnell Mooney. Sills has had an underwhelming 2025 campaign, recording just four catches on nine targets for 34 yards through 10 games. With London considered week-to-week with a sprained PCL, Sills should see an uptick in targets, but fantasy managers would be wise to take a wait-and-see approach with Atlanta's entire passing game, as Kirk Cousins is set to take over as the starting quarterback with Michael Penix (knee) on injured reserve.

Demercado sustained a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the 49ers and is unlikely to be available for the Cardinals' Week 12 game against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Demercado gained eight rushing yards on five carries and added two receptions for 12 yards on three targets before he departed in the second quarter. Given that high-ankle sprains often entail multi-week recoveries, Demercado will be at risk of missing time beyond the Cardinals' upcoming matchup with the Jaguars. Bam Knight (five carries for 24 yards, four catches for 21 yards in Week 11) and Michael Carter (two carries for six yards, five catches for 22 yards) should be in line for expanded profiles out of the backfield in Week 12, unless Trey Benson (knee) makes an unexpected return from injured reserve.

Johnson brought in one of three targets for six yards and rushed three times for no gain in the Buccaneers' 44-32 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Despite Chris Godwin (fibula) logging another absence and Johnson logging the second-most snaps (58) among the Bucs' wide receivers, the latter couldn't extend what had been a productive five-game run. The rookie's 18-247-4 line on 27 targets in that span appeared to be a distant memory against a stingy Bills secondary, and if Godwin, who practiced on a limited basis during Week 11 prep, manages to suit up for a Week 12 Sunday night road showdown with the Rams, Johnson could be relegated to a No. 4 receiver role in that contest.

Otton secured two of five targets for 28 yards in the Buccaneers' 44-32 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Otton checked into Sunday's game riding a productive five-game run where he'd generated a 29-319-0 line on 37 targets, so his downturn against the Bills was significant. Baker Mayfield ultimately threw for only 173 yards against a tough Buffalo pass defense, however, putting Otton's modest numbers into better context. The talented tight end could have a chance to bounce back in a Week 12 road showdown against the Rams on Sunday night, considering Tampa Bay figures to have to remain aggressive to keep pace with Sean McVay's potent offense.

Lockett (knee) had three receptions on as many targets for 33 yards in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.

Lockett picked up a minor knee injury in last week's loss to the Broncos, but he was able to practice in a limited fashion and suit up for Monday Night Football. The veteran wideout finished third on the team in receiving yardage and fourth in targets while starting alongside Tre Tucker. In the two games since Jakobi Meyers was traded to the Jaguars, Lockett is averaging 4.0 receptions and 38.5 yards, numbers that could draw interest from those in deeper PPR formats. Managers operating in standard leagues can probably do better than Lockett in a brutal matchup against the Browns on Sunday.

Tucker brought in four of eight targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-16 loss to Dallas.

Tucker experienced greater success in his second game operating as the Raiders' top wideout after cashing in his team's only touchdown of the evening. It was the 24-year-old's first trip to the end zone since scoring thrice back in Week 3, and the eight targets also were the most he's garnered since that standout performance. Tucker was already providing a solid floor for fantasy managers prior to Las Vegas dealing Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville at the trade deadline. Even with the Raiders struggling on offense this season, Tucker's increased role should keep him in the mix as a flex option for Week 12 and beyond.

Jeanty rushed six times for seven yards while adding six receptions (on eight targets) for 27 yards in Monday's 33-16 loss to Dallas.

Las Vegas abandoned the run early in Monday's lopsided loss, resulting in Jeanty's worst rushing totals through 10 games on the season. The Raiders ran the ball just 12 times out of 59 plays on offense, and the imbalanced playcalling prevented the team's prized rookie from gaining any momentum. His six receptions served as the only silver lining in his stat line, and the total represented a new single-game high for Jeanty. The route to a bounce-back performance Week 12 will be steep, as Jeanty will have to find room to run behind a porous offensive line while facing Cleveland's dominant defensive front on Sunday.

Smith completed 27 of 42 pass attempts for 238 yards, one touchdown and one interception while gaining 14 yards on four carries in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.

In the two games coming out of Las Vegas' bye week, Smith posted a four-score outing followed up by last week's forgettable showing against Denver (143 yards, one INT). The veteran signal-caller presented a version of himself on Monday Night Football that falls right in between his recent Jekyll and Hyde performances. Smith used garbage time to pad his stats while tossing his 12th touchdown pass and 13th interception of the season. The 34-year-old's inconsistent play coupled with a matchup against the league's stingiest defense (167.0 passing yards allowed per game) make Smith a poor fantasy play against the Browns in Week 12.

Ferguson recorded four receptions (on five targets) for 16 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb dominated targets, leaving Ferguson with limited opportunity that came exclusively in short areas of the field. That led to Ferguson's second-lowest yardage output of the season, and he now has fewer than 30 receiving yards in three of four games since Lamb returned from an ankle sprain. Positively, Ferguson did find the end zone on a five-yard reception to save his fantasy performance, which marked his seventh touchdown of the season.
