Calvin Ridley WR | TEN
Jaguars' Calvin Ridley: Finds end zone twice
Ridley recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 103 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-14 win over the Titans.
Ridley entered Sunday's matchup having failed to reach 100 yards or record a touchdown in four consecutive games. He snapped both unfavorable streaks with his performance, tallying touchdown catches of three and 20 yards. In addition to the scores, Ridley showed off his big-play ability by recording long receptions of 34 and 26 yards. While his results have been volatile, Ridley continues to show that he can deliver excellent stat lines when the Jaguars are in favorable matchups.

Tank Dell WR | HOU
Texans' Tank Dell: Team-high receiving yardage in win
Dell secured eight of 10 targets for 149 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 21-16 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Dell comfortably led the Texans in receiving yards by a wide margin while also setting the pace in receptions. The spectacular rookie also teamed up with fellow first-year star C.J. Stroud on a 40-yard touchdown grab in the right corner of the end zone in the second quarter. Dell now has four touchdowns in his last three games, a sample in which he's eclipsed the century mark on two occasions as well. Dell figures to be a key piece of the air attack once again in a Week 12 home matchup against the Jaguars, and even more so if Noah Brown (knee) sits out another contest.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Scores in victory
Lamb caught six of nine targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-10 win over the Panthers.
Lamb's sensational three-week streak of 150-yard games was snapped, but the wideout still compensated with a five-yard touchdown. With Dallas nursing a comfortable lead for the most of Sunday's contest, the team's dependence on Lamb wasn't as significant, resulting in his second-lowest yardage of the campaign. The star wideout will now face a quick turnaround ahead of a Thanksgiving clash against the Commanders in Week 12.

Keenan Allen WR | LAC
Chargers' Keenan Allen: Tops 1,000-yard mark
Allen caught 10 of 16 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Packers.
Allen turned in another big game despite uncharacteristically dropping a pair of passes near the goal line. After those miscues, though, he hauled in a 10-yard touchdown during the fourth quarter. In topping 100 yards for the fourth game this season, Allen also surpassed the 1,000-yard mark for the campaign, evidencing his status as one of the league's most consistent wide receivers.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | PHI
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Getting concussion check
Wicks is under evaluation for a head injury during Sunday's contest versus the Chargers.
Wicks made the most of his five targets in Week 11, turning them into three catches for 91 yards. Having said that, he got a concussion check inside of the two-minute warning, so a diagnosis may not be confirmed before Sunday's game concludes.

Trent Sherfield WR | BUF
Bills' Trent Sherfield: Active for Week 11
Sherfield (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Jets, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Sherfield was able to increase his workload at practice as the week went on and he'll be able to go Sunday against New York. The wide receiver has been limited to just one catch for nine yards over the last three games.

Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ
Jets' Garrett Wilson: Active versus Bills
Wilson (elbow) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Wilson practiced in a limited fashion this past week and headed into to the contest listed as questionable, but on Friday the wideout relayed that he planned to play Sunday. With his active status now confirmed, Wilson should continue to lead the Jets' wideout corps in Week 11, though the 2022 first-rounder did acknowledge that his elbow issue could hamper him some. To what degree remains to be seen, but assuming he's able to handle his normal snap allotment, or close to it, Wilson - who's recorded at least seven catches and 12 targets in each of his last four contests - will have a chance to maintain his high-volume role in the team's passing game.

Darius Slayton WR | NYG
Giants' Darius Slayton: Won't return Sunday
Slayton has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Commanders with an arm injury, Darryl Slater of The Newark Star-Ledger reports. He recorded four catches for 82 yards and a touchdown on five targets prior to his departure.
The Giants initially listed Slayton as questionable to return to the contest after he took a big hit to his right arm on a third-down play on the Giants' final possession of the first half, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. He wasn't on the field for the Giants' first drive of the second half, however, and was downgraded to out. The Giants should offer more details on the extent of Slayton's injury in the days to come, but for now, his status will bear watching heading into the team's Week 12 game versus New England.

Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Active in Week 11
Lockett (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday at the Rams.
For five weeks running, Lockett has been impacted by a lingering hamstring injury, which didn't allow him to practice at all during Week 11 prep. A questionable designation for Sunday's game followed, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that Lockett was in line to suit up. With his availability now confirmed, Lockett will be looking to improve upon his 2-10-0 line on four targets that he put up against L.A.'s defense back in the season opener.

Curtis Samuel WR | BUF
Commanders' Curtis Samuel: Gets ejected Sunday
Samuel was ejected from Sunday's game against the Giants for his role in a fight that occurred late in the second quarter, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. He'll finish the game with one catch for five yards on two targets.
The fight occurred in the aftermath of Sam Howell's eight-yard touchdown run, when some Commanders players took offense to a late hit Howell took while crossing the goal line. Samuel and Giants cornerback Cor'Dale Flott were tossed from the contest for their involvement in the fight.
