Smith caught seven of eight targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the Bills.

The third-year wideout reached triple digits in receiving yards for the first time since Week 2, although Smith got to exactly 99 in two of his last three games coming into Sunday. He also scored for the third time in the last four games, with his 15-yard catch from Jalen Hurts kicking off a wild fourth quarter that saw the two teams combine for 24 points. Smith has a 23-355-3 line on 26 targets over that four-game stretch, giving him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 13 clash with the 49ers that could be an NFC Conference Championship Game preview.

Parker recorded three catches on five targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Giants.

Parker returned from a two-game absence and finished second on the team with 42 receiving yards. He also accounted for the Patriots' two longest plays from scrimmage on catches of 19 and 17 yards. While it was a relatively positive performance, Parker has failed to top 50 receiving yards in all but one of his eight contests on the campaign.

Brown caught five of nine targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the Bills.

He once again took a back seat to DeVonta Smith, but Brown still made an impact, hauling in a three-yard TD strike from Jalen Hurts in the third quarter as the Eagles began their second-half comeback. Brown has gone three straight games without reaching 100 receiving yards after his record-setting run of six straight weeks with 130-plus yards, but he could rebound if a Week 13 meeting with the 49ers turns into another barn burner.

Rice finished with eight receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown off of 10 targets in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Raiders.

Rice put it all together for his best performance as a pro against the Raiders on Sunday. The second-round rookie finished as the Chiefs' leading receiver while recording the first game with 100 or more receiving yards of his career. Rice was already separating himself from the pack as star quarterback Patrick Mahomes' No. 2 option behind Travis Kelce prior to Sunday's breakout, so make sure Rice isn't sitting on the fantasy waiver wire as Kansas City prepares to face Green Bay next Sunday.

Boyd recorded three receptions on five targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.

The Bengals' offense struggled to get things going without Joe Burrow (wrist), and Boyd was no exception. He averaged only 7.7 yards per catch, and his longest gain of the day went for only 10 yards. With Jake Browning under center for the rest of the season, it's likely that Boyd will continue to struggle to rack up yardage, even if his targets remain relatively consistent.

Johnson recorded four receptions on eight targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bengals.

Kenny Pickett threw for a season-high 268 yards, though Johnson didn't benefit from the performance. He did manage Pittsburgh's second-longest play from scrimmage on a deep 39-yard catch early in the second quarter and also narrowly missed out on a touchdown earlier in the contest. Despite glimpses of positives, Johnson now has 50 or fewer yards in three consecutive games.

Davis caught six of 12 targets for 105 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Eagles.

It was the best performance of the season for Davis in terms of yardage, but despite his impressive totals it was one of the balls that he didn't catch that could haunt the Bills -- on 3rd-and-six from the Eagles' 22-yard line in OT, Josh Allen tried to beat a blitz by throwing to a wide-open Davis for what would have been a game-winning TD, but the receiver turned the wrong way while the ball was in the air. The fourth-year wideout heads into Buffalo's bye with six touchdowns, one short of his career high, but his erratic weekly numbers -- he's caught two passes or less in four of the last six games -- have left him on pace to fall short of 1,000 yards once again, as well as making him tough to utilize on fantasy rosters outside of best-ball formats.

Diggs caught six of 11 targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Eagles.

After two disappointing performances against tough secondaries in the Jets and Broncos, Diggs bounced back and saw his first double-digit target volume since Week 8, although it took Josh Allen throwing a season-high 51 passes to do it. The veteran wideout will head into Buffalo's bye on the cusp of his sixth straight 1,000-yard campaign, fourth straight season with 100-plus catches and third straight year with 10 or more TDs, having posted an 83-969-8 line on 121 targets through 12 games.

Meyers caught six of seven targets for 79 yards and a touchdown while adding one rushing attempt for two yards and throwing a pass attempt that fell incomplete in Sunday's 31-17 loss to Kansas City.

Meyers wound up leading the team in receiving in addition to his pair of unconventional touches Sunday, as Las Vegas' coaching staff was intent on getting its budding star back on track. The NC State product was recruited as a quarterback out of high school, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that teams have attempted to utilize that additional skill on trick plays. While Meyers failed to complete a pass against the Chiefs, his receiving touchdown on the Raiders' opening drive was the wideout's first since Oct. 22. Meyers will enter the upcoming bye week with 608 combined yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns through 11 active games before resuming play against Minnesota on Dec. 10.

Hopkins recorded three catches on five targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Panthers.

Hopkins narrowly led the Titans in receiving yards, but he unexpectedly was forced to split targets among several other pass catchers on the team. Thanks to a pair of 19-yard receptions, it was one of Hopkins' more efficient performances of the season, though he was ultimately limited in production due to his muted volume. Overall, Hopkins has 60 or fewer yards in each of his last four games.
