  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Takes three receptions for 26 yards

    Reed corralled all three of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the 49ers.

    Unlike last week's two-catch effort, Reed was unable to hit pay dirt against the 49ers and left fantasy managers with paltry production. The speedy sophomore did not record a rushing attempt, and he hasn't had a positive gain as a runner since back in Week 5. Reed still has enough upside on any given week to be worth considering, but he is likely more of a deep-league asset due to his propensity for posting duds heading into Thursday's matchup against the Dolphins.

  • Jauan Jennings WR | MIN

    49ers' Jauan Jennings: Gains 40 yards with backup QB

    Jennings caught five of seven targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Packers.

    The 49ers were without starting quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) on Sunday, limiting the output of all skill-position players not named George Kittle in a blowout loss to Green Bay. Jennings actually led the team's wideouts with his modest production, but it still left much to be desired based on his increased production in 2024. The four-year veteran will carry a 47-628-4 receiving line into next Sunday's road tilt against the Bills.

  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Five catches in loss

    Robinson secured all five targets for 47 yards and rushed once for no gain in the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Robinson worked in his usual short-area role and finished second in receptions and receiving yards to Malik Nabers. Robinson got experience working with new starter Tommy DeVito last season, so it's not surprising the third-year wideout put together a solid performance in the first game of the latter's current starting stint. Robinson should remain a prime target during Thursday's Thanksgiving Day road showdown against the Cowboys.

  • Broncos' Devaughn Vele: Racks up 80 yards in win

    Vele brought in six of nine targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.

    Vele finished a close second behind top wideout Courtland Sutton in all receiving categories, but the latter cashed in both of Bo Nix's passing touchdowns Sunday. The seventh-round rookie still managed to set a new career high in receiving yards despite not hitting pay dirt. Vele should be on the radar in deeper formats as the No. 2 option for an improving Bo Nix down the stretch, starting with a home matchup against the Browns on Monday Night Football next week.

  • Tank Dell WR | HOU

    Texans' Tank Dell: Three long catches

    Dell recorded three catches on five targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Titans.

    Dell saw his target volume dip as Nico Collins got more involved, though he made the most of the looks he received. He caught a long 39-yard pass early in the second quarter, with his other two receptions going for 17 and 16 yards. Dell is likely to get fewer looks in the offense with Collins in the mix, though he could be freed to work down the field with the majority of defensive attention elsewhere on Collins.

  • Deebo Samuel WR | SF

    49ers' Deebo Samuel: Struggles continue with backup QB

    Samuel had just one reception for 21 yards off four targets in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Packers.

    Samuel was already in a midseason slump entering Sunday's loss, but a backup quarterback under center made a bounce-back effort less likely. The dual-threat superstar also failed to record a rushing attempt for the first time in a full game this season. Samuel has underperformed this season with just 590 combined yards and two total touchdowns through 10 games. Brock Purdy's (shoulder) potential return in Week 13 would boost Samuel's projections heading into a tough road matchup in Buffalo next Sunday.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Goes for two scores Sunday

    Sutton grabbed eight receptions (on 10 targets) for 97 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.

    Sutton was on the receiving end of both of Bo Nix's touchdown passes Sunday, resulting in his first multi-score game of 2024. The veteran wideout boosted his season line to 57-744-5 through 12 games with this dominant showing. Sutton has recorded at least 70 receiving yards in five straight contests since being held without a target back in Week 7. Fantasy managers should continue riding this wave of production into next Monday's tilt against the Browns.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Musters three catches in Week 12

    Harrison hauled in three of six targets for 47 yards and no touchdowns during Sunday's 16-6 defeat in Seattle.

    Cardinals pass catchers took a back seat to TE Trey McBride (12-133-0 on 15 targets) in the passing game Week 12, as Harrison's target count ranked second on the team, while his yards from scrimmage were fourth (WR Michael Wilson had 54, and RB James Conner notched 49). Prior to Arizona's Week 11 bye, Harrison was able to salvage lacking performances with touchdowns (six in 10 appearances), but the offense was held out of the end zone this weekend. Harrison's next opportunity to produce is next Sunday at Minnesota.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Makes five catches Sunday

    Odunze gathered in five of 10 targets for 39 yards and no touchdowns during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Vikings.

    Odunze recorded double-digit targets for the second game in a row (and third time on the campaign), but he wasn't very efficient with his looks from QB Caleb Williams, unlike fellow WRs DJ Moore (7-106-1 on seven targets) and Keenan Allen (9-86-1 on 15 targets) and TE Cole Kmet (7-64-0 on 10 targets). Lacking efficiency has been a season-long trend for the rookie, as Odunze's catch rate (55.7 percent) and YPT (7.4) indicate. His next chance to produce arrives Thursday at Detroit.

  • Keenan Allen WR | LAC

    Bears' Keenan Allen: Commands 15 targets

    Allen recorded nine receptions on 15 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings.

    Allen earned a season-best 15 targets, his third-double digit target total of the campaign. Though he wasn't particularly efficient, he managed to top 45 receiving yards for the first time as a Bear, highlighted by a 40-yard catch and run midway through the first quarter. Allen also tallied his third touchdown of the season with 22 seconds remaining in the game to help set up a remarkable comeback that ultimately fell just short. While it was a positive performance, Allen's track record in Chicago suggests he may not replicate it any time soon.
