Dontayvion Wicks WR | GB
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Two catches in Week 12 win
Wicks brought in two of four targets for 32 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Wicks finished with the second-most receiving yards and targets on the day for the Packers despite his modest output in both categories. The third-year pro has dealt with a lingering calf issue and has missed two games overall, but Wicks does have multiple catches in seven of the nine games he's appeared in. He'll have a chance at more volume during a Week 13 Thanksgiving Day showdown against the Lions that could develop into a high-scoring affair.

DeVonta Smith WR | PHI
Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Six catches in loss
Smith recorded six receptions on 11 targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.
Smith led the Eagles in targets and also matched his season high. His longest catch of the day went for 41 yards, which came on an impressive catch deep down the right sideline as he was forced to adjust to an underthrown ball. Smith had a needed bounceback performance after struggling in Week 11, and he now has at least 65 receiving yards in four of his last five games while serving as Philadelphia's most consistent pass catcher.

Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Two catches in return
Godwin recorded two receptions on four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Rams.
Godwin was active for only the third time this season and for the first time since Week 5. He had an underwhelming stat line, though the entire Tampa Bay offense was stifled. Godwin could see improved results in a Week 13 matchup against Arizona, though that will be very dependent on the ability of Baker Mayfield (shoulder) to suit up.

Emeka Egbuka WR | TB
Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Held to 32 yards
Egbuka recorded three catches on eight targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Rams.
Egbuka was held to 40 or fewer yards for the third time in his last four games, though it's difficult to hold this showing against him as the entire Tampa Bay offense struggled. Egbuka's lone impactful play came early in the fourth quarter on a deep 32-yard reception on a pass delivered by Teddy Bridgewater. Egbuka should be in for a more favorable matchup in Week 13 against Arizona, though his outlook will depend heavily on Baker Mayfield's (shoulder) health.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Rams' Davante Adams: Posts 27th multi-TD game of career
Adams finished with five receptions on eight targets for 62 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 34-7 blowout win over Tampa Bay.
Adams suffered a couple of uncharacteristic drops on Sunday Night Football, but fantasy managers can look past that fact after he converted a pair of successful touchdown grabs in the win. It was the 27th time over the course of the superstar's illustrious career that he has scored multiple touchdowns in a single game, good for seventh all-time among receivers in league history. The 32-year-old has now scored in five consecutive appearances, producing multiple trips to the end zone in three out of those five outings. The NFL's league leader in receiving touchdowns (12) will look to add to the gap between he and Amon-Ra St. Brown (eight) when Adams and the Rams visit the Panthers next Sunday.

Devaughn Vele WR | NO
Saints' Devaughn Vele: Posts 37 yards in Week 12 loss
Vele caught three of seven targets for 37 yards in the Saints' 24-10 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
With Brandin Cooks booted from the roster over the weekend following the trade of Rashid Shaheed at the deadline a couple weeks ago, Vele has taken over as the Saints' WR2 behind Chris Olave. His seven targets versus Atlanta tied for second on the team behind Olave's 13. Vele will need to show more of a ceiling in the box score before he can be trusted as a fantasy contributor.

Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Leading receiver in blowout win
Nacua corralled seven of 11 targets for 97 yards in Sunday's 34-7 rout of the Buccaneers.
Nacua finished the one-sided affair as the Rams' leading receiver on a team-high 11 targets, but he took a back seat to teammate Davante Adams in the scoring department after the latter cashed in a pair of Matthew Stafford's three touchdown strikes on Sunday Night Football. The 24-year-old Nacua has seen his elite production dip ever so slightly since Los Angeles' Week 8 bye after failing to crack 100 yards from scrimmage in all four appearances over that span. To put things into perspective, the BYU product had accomplished that feat four times in the six games predating the bye. Nacua is still on track to have an elite fantasy campaign, as he currently sits just 53 yards shy of a 1,000-yard receiving season in just 10 games played.

Greg Dortch WR | ARI
Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Nets another TD in Week 12
Dortch recorded six catches (on nine targets) for 53 yards and one touchdown, took two carries for minus-5 yards and returned five kickoffs for 127 yards during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jaguars.
After a mostly quiet first half of the campaign, Dortch has awakened over the last two games with No. 1 WR Marvin Harrison sidelined due to a bout of appendicitis. While position mate Michael Wilson has benefited most with back-to-back outings with 10-plus catches and 100 or more yards, Dortch has made his mark in the box score with a cumulative 12-119-2 line on 15 targets during that same span. Dortch wasn't doing much before a 39-yard catch-and-run for a TD in the middle of the third quarter, but it marked QB Jacoby Brissett's only scoring strike of Week 12. The Cardinals next take to the road against the Buccaneers next Sunday, and Dortch will continue to have an increased role if Harrison again is unavailable.

Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: Team-high seven targets in win
Washington secured five of seven targets for 71 yards and one touchdown in Jacksonville's overtime win over Arizona on Sunday.
Washington didn't see his first target of the game until deep into the second quarter, and he recorded all of his catches and yards after halftime. His seven targets ended up pacing Jacksonville's offense. Washington caught a nine-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to give the Jaguars a 24-21 lead with 3:47 to play in regulation. It's been a breakout 2025 season for Washington, who has already set career highs in targets (60), catches (35) and yards (421) with his three scores. Washington's fantasy appeal moving forward is largely tied to Brian Thomas' (ankle) availability.

Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Produces five yards in victory
Tillman secured one of three targets for five yards in Cleveland's win over Las Vegas on Sunday.
Tillman's three targets tied him with Jerry Jeudy and Dylan Sampson for second on the team behind Harold Fannin (six), but Tillman and Shedeur Sanders showed little on-field chemistry. After totaling seven catches for 74 yards and two touchdowns from Joe Flacco in the first two games of the season, Tillman has just 10 grabs for 100 scoreless yards in five appearances since, making him someone to avoid in fantasy lineups ahead of a Week 13 date with San Francisco.
