  • Colts' Michael Pittman: Leading receiver on seven targets

    Pittman caught six of seven targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to Detroit.

    Pittman finished with the highest fantasy score of any receiver on either team Sunday after neither side threw a passing touchdown. The 26-year-old has produced 41 receptions for 508 yards and two touchdowns across 11 games, a far cry from the 109-1,152-4 receiving line he posted over 16 games in 2023. Pittman should be considered a fringe fantasy option in standard formats heading into next Sunday's tilt against New England.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Big game against Tennessee

    Collins recorded five receptions on nine targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Titans.

    Collins did the majority of his damage early in the game, first scoring from five yards away midway through the second quarter. He then caught a 56-yard pass to set up a field goal just before halftime. Collins also broke free for an apparent 33-yard yard score late in the fourth quarter, though it was nullified by a penalty-- the second consecutive week he's had a score called back. Despite that disappointment, Collins was more involved in the offense in his second game since returning from a hamstring injury, and he should be an elite fantasy option moving forward.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Busy day in wild win

    Lamb brought in 10 of 12 targets for 67 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Cowboys' 34-26 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

    Lamb led the Cowboys in receptions, receiving yards and targets on a day when he was atypically contained to mostly short-area targets. The talented wideout still clawed his way to a fantasy-relevant effort while once again displaying plenty of chemistry with fill-in quarterback Cooper Rush, and the duo has now connected on 18 occasions for 160 yards on 24 pass attempts over the last two games. Lamb projects to remain heavily involved in a Week 13 home matchup against the Giants on Thanksgiving Day.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Modest production in easy win

    St. Brown corralled six of seven targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over Indianapolis.

    St. Brown led his team in receptions while tying Jameson Williams for the lead in targets Sunday. The former was unable to push his impressive scoring streak past eight weeks, but he still produced decent fantasy totals for managers in PPR formats. St. Brown has accrued a 71-747-9 receiving line through 11 contests, making him one of the premier wideouts in the NFL ahead of a Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Bears.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Contained again in win

    Hill brought in five of six targets for 48 yards in the Dolphins' 34-15 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

    Hill played a clear second fiddle to the somewhat unlikely duo of Jaylen Waddle and Jonnu Smith, who accounted for 17 of Tua Tagovailoa's completions, 231 of his yards and half of his four touchdown passes on the afternoon. Hill was a distant third in receptions, receiving yards and targets to both of his fellow pass catchers, and he's now mired in a 10-game streak of failing to clear 80 receiving yards heading into a Week 13 road showdown against the Packers on Thanksgiving Night this Thursday.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Season-best numbers in big win

    Waddle brought in eight of nine targets for 144 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 34-15 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

    Waddle's long-awaited breakout performance was a sight to behold, with the previously struggling wideout posting season highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The 2021 first-round pick consistently gained significant yardage on his catches, and he recorded his second touchdown of the campaign on a 23-yard grab late in the third quarter. Waddle's production could still remain hard to trust from week to week given this year's inconsistencies, but he should remain heavily involved in a Week 13 Thanksgiving Night road showdown against the Packers.

  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: Paces pass catchers in loss

    Nabers secured six of nine targets for 64 yards in the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by New York.

    Nabers and the entire Giants offense struggled in the first half with Tommy DeVito sluggish in his first start since late last season. However, matters picked up in the second half with New York forced to go into pass-heavy mode, and Nabers ultimately finished as the team leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. The talented rookie didn't seem to experience any ill effects from the groin injury that had popped up late in the practice week, and he could have a chance for better production in a Thanksgiving Day road clash against the Cowboys after getting his first game with DeVito as his quarterback under his belt.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Team-high yardage total in return

    Evans brought in five of six targets for 68 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Making his return from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Evans finished with a team-high receiving yardage total while checking in second in both receptions and targets. The veteran wideout looked as healthy as he proclaimed he was coming into the game and contributed a 26-yard grab among his five catches. Evans, whose catch and yardage totals Sunday were his highest since Week 4, will next take aim at a vulnerable Panthers defense in a Week 13 road divisional battle.

  • Josh Downs WR | IND

    Colts' Josh Downs: Injures shoulder Sunday

    Downs exited Sunday's game against the Lions with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return.

    Prior to his exit from the contest, Downs caught three of his six targets for 27 yards. In Downs' absence, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierceand Adonai Mitchell are available to pick up snaps at receiver.

  • Ashton Dulin WR | IND

    Colts' Ashton Dulin: Will not return Sunday

    Dulin (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game against the Lions, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    The wide receiver was unable to catch his only target of the day before leaving the contest. With Josh Downs questionable to return due to a shoulder injury, Indianapolis is down to three healthy wide receivers in Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Adonai Mitchell.
