Cooks had two receptions on five targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Eagles.

Cooks cooled off following a torrid four-game stretch that produced 332 yards and three touchdowns for fantasy managers. The five targets weren't abnormal based on the veteran's recent results, but his 40 percent catch rate Sunday was. Cooks will look to get back on track following a down week when the Cowboys visit the Bills next Sunday.

Smith brought in five of 10 targets for 73 yards in the Eagles' 33-13 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night.

Among Eagles pass catchers, Smith was second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets to A.J. Brown on a night when Jalen Hurts threw for just 197 yards. The third-year speedster has been on a steady run of individual production over the last month-plus, posting 96 receiving yards or more in four of the last six contests while also scoring on four occasions during that span. Smith next takes aim at an inconsistent Seahawks secondary on the road in a Week 15 Monday night road matchup Dec. 18.

Brown secured nine of 13 targets for 94 yards in the Eagles' 33-13 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night. He also lost a fumble.

The Eagles offense turned in a disappointing effort as a whole, but Brown put together a productive night that featured team highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. However, the talented wideout also fumbled on the Cowboys' 44-yard line after a seven-yard grab early in the third quarter, his first turnover of the campaign. Brown now has a 17-208 line over the last two contests, affording him plenty of momentum going into a Week 15 road battle against the Seahawks on Dec. 18.

Lamb had six receptions on 10 targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-13 win over Philadelphia.

Lamb was able to extend his active touchdown streak to five games after capping the game's opening drive with a 13-yard grab. The superstar's recent scoring binge brings him up to nine total touchdowns (one rushing) through 13 games, tying his previous high from last season when he caught nine touchdowns over 17 active games. Lamb is also 11 receptions -- a single-game total he has already reached five times this year -- off of the career mark of 107 he set in 2022. He will shoot for a sixth in a road matchup against the Bills next Sunday.

Rice caught seven of 10 targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bills.

The rookie wideout led Kansas City in catches and tied Travis Kelce for the team lead in targets, although the tight end produced more yardage. Rice scored his sixth TD of the season on a four-yard strike from Patrick Mahomes late in the third quarter, and he's caught at least seven passes in three straight games -- his three highest-volume performances of the year, a stretch in which Rice has delivered a 23-243-2 line on 29 targets. Kansas City's emerging No. 1 receiver will look to keep rolling in Week 15 against the Patriots.

Pierce secured two of three targets for 22 yards in the Colts' 34-14 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

One game after posting a 100-yard tally against the Titans in an overtime win, Pierce was back to meager production. The 2022 second-round pick has posted less than 30 receiving yards in four of the last five contests, and the aforementioned Week 13 breakout versus Tennessee marks his only game with more than 53 receiving yards this season.

Downs secured all three targets for 32 yards in the Colts' 34-14 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Downs put together his second straight three-catch effort and fifth consecutive sub-50-yard tally. The rookie wideout has flashed with much better production at times, but Gardner Minshew has been spreading the ball around to a wider variety of targets of late, helping lead to Downs' recent downturn.

Boyd (ankle) brought in two of three targets for 23 yards in the Bengals' 34-14 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Boyd had a questionable tag coming in after apparently sustaining an ankle injury late in the practice week, but the veteran was able to fill his usual slot role. However, Boyd continues to offer only middling fantasy production as long as top receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are healthy, as he's now recorded 37 yards or fewer in four straight games going into a Week 15 home matchup against the Vikings on Saturday afternoon.

Higgins brought in two of four targets for 72 yards in the Bengals' 34-14 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Higgins actually finished second on the Bengals in receiving yards and tied for first in targets despite his modest number of catches. The talented fourth-year pro is still developing his chemistry with fill-in quarterback Jake Browning, but Higgins' day would have been a bit better had he not wiped out his own touchdown grab -- on a pass from AJ McCarron, who'd come in for a handful of plays when Browning was experiencing cramps -- by pushing off his defender. Higgins next sets his sights on the Vikings in a key Week 15 home matchup on Saturday afternoon.

Diggs caught four of 11 targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.

Despite leading the Bills in targets, Diggs didn't make much of an impact as he failed to reach 40 receiving yards for the third time in the last four games. The veteran wideout remains just seven yards short of his sixth straight 1,000-yard season heading into a Week 15 clash with the Cowboys.
