Amon-Ra St. Brown WR | DET
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Finds end zone in Week 11 win
St. Brown caught eight of 11 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Bears.
St. Brown's streak of 100-yard receiving performances ended at four games, but he got into the end zone for the fifth time this season on a seven-yard touchdown catch 11 seconds before halftime. The star receiver has caught 73 of 98 targets for 898 yards heading into Thursday's Thanksgiving visit from the Packers. One of St. Brown's five touchdowns came against Green Bay in Week 4, but his 56 yards in that game were a season low.

Adam Thielen WR | PIT
Panthers' Adam Thielen: Eight catches in Week 11 loss
Thielen secured eight of 11 targets for 74 yards in the Panthers' 33-10 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Thielen led the Panthers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, corralling half of Bryce Young's completions and 74 of the struggling rookie quarterback's 123 passing yards. The veteran wideout has no fewer than five receptions in every game since Week 2, and although he hasn't eclipsed 100 receiving yards or scored since Week 6, he'll head into a Week 12 road matchup with some momentum against a Titans defense that gives up plenty of production to wide receivers.

Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Rams' Cooper Kupp: Injures ankle Sunday
Kupp headed to the locker room during the first half of Sunday's game against the Seahawks due to an ankle injury, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Prior to his exit from the game, Kupp caught his only target for 11 yards. In his absence, look for Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell to see added pass-catching opportunities for the Rams.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Big drop Sunday
Johnston caught two of six targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Packers.
Johnston's underwhelming performance was marred by a critical drop on Los Angeles' final drive, preventing the team from entering scoring position. The rookie first-rounder has just one 50-yard game and one touchdown through his first 10 appearances, struggling to make a significant impact despite playing in one of the league's better passing offenses.

Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Scores in win
Watson caught two of four targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers. He also rushed once for a yard.
Watson didn't make his first catch until midway through the third quarter, but his subsequent 11-yard touchdown nonetheless marked a key second-half play. With quarterback Jordan Love throwing for a career-high 322 yards, though, Watson finished seventh on the Packers in receiving. While tailback Aaron Jones' (knee) injury could result in more work for Watson going forward, the second-year wideout's stock remains underwhelming ahead of Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Lions.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Raiders' Davante Adams: Paces pass catchers in loss
Adams secured seven of 13 targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 20-13 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Adams led the Raiders in receptions, receiving yards and targets in the contest, and he added his fourth touchdown of the campaign and first since Week 3 on a 46-yard grab on the final play of the first quarter. Adams has encouragingly been more involved since the switch to Antonio Pierce and Aidan O'Connell at head coach and quarterback, respectively, posting a 17-202-1 line on 33 targets in that three-game span. Adams will have a chance to keep building momentum in a Week 12 home showdown against the Chiefs.

Brandin Cooks WR | BUF
Cowboys' Brandin Cooks: Makes three grabs
Cooks caught three of four targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 33-10 win over the Panthers.
Cooks led the Cowboys in receiving despite his production paling in comparison to his Week 10 173-yard outburst. Although he's scored in three of his last five outings, Cooks' output Sunday was closer to his average throughout the campaign. With that in mind, he carries modest value into Thursday's game against the Commanders.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Double-digit catches in Week 11 win
Hill secured 10 of 11 targets for 146 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 20-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Hill led the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets despite exiting the game briefly in the first half with a hand injury. The standout receiver struck yet again with his blazing speed on a 38-yard scoring grab in the first quarter to answer an early Raiders field goal, Hill's ninth score of the season. Hill's 100-yard effort was his sixth of the campaign as well, and the eight-year veteran has already cleared the 1,200-yard mark through just 10 games. Hill will continue his march toward his stated goal of the first 2,000-yard campaign for a receiver in NFL history when he and the Dolphins face the Jets in a Week 12 Black Friday afternoon clash.

Romeo Doubs WR | NE
Packers' Romeo Doubs: Adds to touchdown tally
Doubs caught five of six targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers.
Doubs scored the game-winning touchdown by improvising a route into the end zone and snagging a 24-yarder with just over two minutes remaining. In doing so, Doubs not only scored for the second straight week, but he brought his team-leading touchdown tally to seven through 10 games. With his best receiving yardage since facing the Lions in Week 4 as well, Doubs boasts nice momentum ahead of visiting Detroit this Thursday in Week 12.

Jayden Reed WR | GB
Packers' Jayden Reed: Leads Green Bay in rushing
Reed caught four of six targets for 46 yards and rushed three times for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers.
Reed's day was highlighted by a 32-yard touchdown on an end around to begin the second quarter. With the help of that score, the rookie actually led the Packers in rushing yards Sunday, when top tailback Aaron Jones went down with a knee injury. If Jones is sidelined going forward, Reed could continue to see occasional carries on motion plays from his wideout position, where he entered Sunday leading the team in receiving yards.
