Aiyuk caught five of six targets for 156 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Buccaneers.

Despite the relatively low target volume, the fourth-year wideout set a new career high in receiving yards on the day, highlighted by a 76-yard TD catch from Brock Purdy early in the third quarter. Aiyuk has delivered triple-digit yardage in four of nine games so far in 2023, and he's on pace to shatter last year's career-best 1,015 yards.

Lockett (hamstring) finished with five receptions on seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Rams.

Lockett has been dealing with a bum hamstring for several weeks, but his status appeared to truly be questionable leading up to Sunday's eventual start. The Seattle stalwart wound up providing an average fantasy line for managers who rolled the dice on his health. Lockett completed Sunday's contest without any setbacks, but it wouldn't be surprising to see his name remain on the injury report for the upcoming short practice week leading up to Thursday's matchup against the 49ers.

Godwin caught six of seven targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the 49ers.

The wideout tied Rachaad White for the team lead in receptions, but Godwin was only fourth in yardage as his longest grab went for only 11 yards. He hasn't shown the same chemistry with new quarterback Baker Mayfield this season that Mike Evans has, and while Godwin has caught at least five passes in seven of 10 games so far in 2023, he has only one TD and is on pace to fall short of 1,000 yards over a full campaign for the first time since 2018.

Evans caught five of 12 targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the 49ers.

The veteran receiver was on the other end of a one-yard TD toss from Baker Mayfield right before halftime, but it was otherwise a tough day for Evans despite the fact that he saw a season high in targets. He's been his usual productive self in 2023, scoring seven touchdowns in 10 games including four in the last five contests, and Evans is on pace for his fifth career season with double-digit scores as well as his best receiving yards total since 2018.

Brown brought in two of five targets for 18 yards in the Cardinals' 21-16 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Brown was third on the Cardinals in targets, but the matchup against a Texans defense adept at limiting wide receiver production got the best of the speedy wideout. Brown has brought in just three of nine targets for 46 yards in the two games he's played with Kyler Murray thus far, but given the previous rapport between the two, that inefficiency could begin to wane beginning with a favorable Week 12 home matchup against the Rams.

Dortch brought in six of eight targets for 76 yards in the Cardinals' 21-16 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 23 yards and one punt for three yards.

Dortch was the surprise leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon for the Cardinals after coming into the game with one catch for two yards on the season. Michael Wilson's absence due to a shoulder injury helped open the door for Dortch's sudden boost in volume, and it remains to be seen if the surge in production will have any carryover into a Week 12 home matchup against the Rams if Wilson returns.

Woods brought in five of eight targets for 44 yards in the Texans' 21-16 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Woods enjoyed a solid day from a PPR perspective thanks in part to the absence of Noah Brown (knee), who had essentially displaced him from the No. 3 receiver role in the last two games. The veteran wideout still filled a complementary short-area role behind Nico Collins and Tank Dell on Sunday, however, and Woods will likely return to No. 4 slotting as soon as Brown is healthy enough to return.

Metcalf had five receptions on nine targets for 94 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Rams.

Metcalf wasted no time in breaking his four-game scoreless streak when he took his second target into the end zone on Seattle's opening drive Sunday. The 25-year-old is averaging 96.0 receiving yards over his last two contests while showing no ill effects from the hip injury that cost him the first game of his professional career back in Week 7. Metcalf will attempt to stay hot against the 49ers on Thursday Night Football in Week 12, but his odds to do so take a hit if starting quarterback Geno Smith (elbow) is unable to suit up. Drew Lock would end up starting under center in Smith's place in that scenario.

Williams caught two of three targets for 44 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Bears.

Most of Williams' yardage came on a 32-yard touchdown catch, which is his second-longest play of the season after a 45-yard touchdown reception against the Buccaneers in Week 6. The big-play threat has drawn more than three targets only once in six 2023 appearances heading into Thursday's home game against the Packers on Thanksgiving.

Dotson recorded three catches on four targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-19 loss to the Giants.

Dotson improved from his Week 10 performance, during which he failed to record a catch, though his involvement in the offense Sunday was still concerning. He saw fewer than five targets for the fourth time this season and has been held under 30 receiving yards on six occasions. Dotson's fantasy day was saved by an eight-yard touchdown catch with just over two minutes remaining in the game, but it's difficult to project him for consistent production with limited volume.
