Thompkins caught all three of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.

Thompkins had his best game of the season in Sunday's narrow loss, catching his first three passes of the year for 13 yards, which ranked fourth among Carolina's wide receivers. The Utah State product has appeared in just three games this season, also having recorded one carry for minus-2 yards. He's expected to continue serving as a depth piece in the Panthers' wide receiver room as the season progresses.

Moore recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings. He added one rush for 13 yards.

Moore showed the ability to connect with Caleb Williams in all areas of the field in the loss, as he had long gains of 37 and 27 yards, the latter of which set up a game-tying field goal to send the game to overtime. He also worked effectively in the short areas of the field, including on a 10-yard touchdown reception early in the fourth quarter -- his first trip to the end zone since Week 5. While it's been a disappointing season for Moore, he has 14 receptions on 14 targets for 168 yards across two games since Chicago made a change at offensive coordinator.

Douglas secured five of seven targets for 62 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Patriots' 34-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Douglas finished with a co-team-high number of receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards for the Patriots on an unproductive afternoon for the offense overall. The second-year wideout has at least four catches in four consecutive games, and his yardage total Sunday was his highest since Week 6. Douglas' next opportunity to continue building rapport with rookie signal-caller Drake Maye comes in a Week 13 home matchup against the Colts.

Addison recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 162 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Bears.

Addison posted both the highest yardage and reception total of his career against a Bears secondary that has regularly shut down opposing wide receivers. He did the majority of his damage on receptions of 69 and 45 yards, and he showed impressive balance for a long run after the catch down the sideline on the former play. Addison also found the end zone for the second consecutive game on a two-yard catch early in the second quarter. While Justin Jefferson will remain the top priority in the Minnesota offense, Addison's performance shows the ability to make opposing defenses pay when they focus on taking Jefferson out of the game.

Doubs won't return to Sunday's game versus the 49ers due to a concussion, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Doubs drew a defensive pass interference penalty in the end zone in the middle of the third quarter that helped set up Josh Jacobs' (cramps) second TD of the contest, but the wide receiver was slow to get to his feet and eventually the sideline before he was ruled out. Doubs will finish Week 12 with three catches (on six targets) for 54 yards.

Jefferson recorded two receptions on five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win against the Bears.

Sam Darnold ripped through the Chicago secondary to record seven completions of at least 20 yards, making Jefferson's line even more disappointing. He did have a 40-yard touchdown nullified late in the fourth quarter by offensive pass interference on an apparent pick play. Jefferson has now failed to reach 100 receiving yards in three consecutive contests.

Patrick brought in all four of his targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts.

Patrick saw a little extra work with Kalif Raymond (foot) exiting the contest in the second half. The 31-year-old Patrick was already operating as the Lions' third receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, so his role is unlikely to change much if Raymond is unable to go in Week 13. Patrick should be considered a deep-league fantasy option for Thursday's holiday matchup against the Bears.

Pierce had one reception (on four targets) for 39 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.

Pierce finished as the Colts' second-leading receiver in a game during which quarterback Anthony Richardson completed just 11 pass attempts. The 24-year-old Pierce did reach a new career high in single-season receiving yards (629) despite his one-catch performance. Pierce has played well overall given the murky QB situation in Indianapolis, keeping him in the conversation for deeper fantasy formats against the Patriots next Sunday.

Williams had five receptions (on seven targets) for 64 yards while adding one rushing attempt for four yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts.

The Lions didn't need their top wideouts much in a comfortable win over the Colts, leading to modest stat lines for Williams and the rest of Detroit's receiving corps, though he did lead the team in receiving yardage. The 23-year-old has been hot and cold this season, resulting in a 29-602-4 line through nine healthy games. Williams' home-run potential will keep him a viable fantasy option for the contending Lions in a home matchup against the Bears on Thanksgiving Day.

McLaurin brought in five of six targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders' 34-26 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

McLaurin finished with a team-high yardage total thanks to a miracle 86-yard touchdown reception with 21 seconds remaining on a play where the Cowboys were playing a heavy prevent defense. Prior to that unlikely catch, however, McLaurin had netted just 16 yards on four receptions and appeared headed to his third sub-20-yard receiving tally over the last four games. Despite the significant volatility in his production, McLaurin remains an every-week fantasy starter thanks to his upside as the Commanders prepare to tangle with the Titans in a Week 13 home battle.
