  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Rams' Cooper Kupp: Nursing low-ankle sprain

    Kupp suffered a low right-ankle sprain during Sunday's 17-16 win over the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Kupp reportedly tried to reenter Sunday's contest after initially injuring his ankle, and the fact that he didn't suffer a high-ankle sprain could mean he'll avoid a long-term recovery timetable. The injury does, however, make the veteran wideout's chances of playing Week 12 versus the Cardinals murky. Kupp now has gone four consecutive games without scoring or surpassing 50 receiving yards. If he's forced to miss any time, Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell will operate as the Rams' top wide receivers.

  • Malik Heath WR | ATL

    Packers' Malik Heath: Makes first career catch

    Heath caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Chargers.

    Heath hardly stood out in Week 11, but he did tally his most snaps since Week 1 and recorded the first reception of his career. The rookie has surpassed fellow wideout Samori Toure at the bottom of on the depth chart and heads into Week 12 as Green Bay's No. 5 option at the wide receiver spot.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Jets' Allen Lazard: Drops lone Week 11 target

    Lazard failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills.

    Lazard couldn't corral a ball that hit him in the hands as his struggles with drops continued. With Garrett Wilson playing through an elbow injury, Lazard had an opportunity to step up, but it's hard to blame the team's quarterbacks for looking elsewhere with the veteran wideout struggling to catch the ball. Regardless of whether Zach Wilson or Tim Boyle starts under center for the Jets in Week 12, Lazard will have limited fantasy appeal against the Dolphins.

  • Xavier Gipson WR | PHI

    Jets' Xavier Gipson: Early fumble sets tone in loss

    Gipson caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills. He also returned four kickoffs for 76 yards and lost a fumble.

    The last time these two AFC East rivals faced off, Gipson ended the game with a punt return touchdown in overtime in his NFL debut. His first return opportunity Sunday was far less successful, as Gipson fumbled on the opening kickoff. That miscue set the tone for a disastrous all-around performance from the Jets, who suffered a third consecutive loss to fall to 4-6.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Steelers' Allen Robinson: Logs three receptions Sunday

    Robinson secured three of four targets for 20 yards during the Steelers' 13-10 loss to Cleveland on Sunday.

    Robinson had totaled just two receptions for 17 yards during the first four games after the Steelers' Week 6 bye. While he was slightly more productive Sunday, he had limited fantasy production and is unlikely to have much upside unless the Steelers' offense drastically improves to close out the regular season.

  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Steelers' George Pickens: Racks up 38 yards in loss

    Pickens secured four of six targets for 38 yards while rushing once for minus-one yard during the Steelers' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Pickens led the Steelers in receptions and receiving yards during Sunday's matchup but was unable to generate much fantasy production in the low-scoring matchup. He's been a somewhat inconsistent contributor since Pittsburgh's Week 6 bye, securing 15 of 28 targets for 211 yards and a touchdown over the past five matchups.

  • Robbie Chosen WR | WAS

    Dolphins' Robbie Chosen: Logs two catches vs. Raiders

    Chosen secured both of his targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 20-13 win over Las Vegas.

    Chosen had an impactful 30-yard catch in his first appearance with the Dolphins since Week 6. Prior to Sunday's game against the Raiders, he had been re-signed to the practice squad and elevated after previously being waived. While Chosen has occasionally made big plays for Miami this season, he's only utilized as a reserve wideout on a sporadic basis. That stands to remain the same during Friday's road matchup against the Jets.

  • Steven Sims WR | ARI

    Texans' Steven Sims: Two targets in win

    Sims caught both of his targets for 25 yards and returned two punts for 16 yards in Sunday's 21-16 win over Arizona in Week 11.

    Sims made his season debut for the Texans, who were without Noah Brown (knee) , and was targeted on both his offensive snaps. He was one of six active wide receivers, as Houston dressed just two tight ends. Sims, who had one of six C.J. Stroud pass completions that went for more than 20 yards, would need several injuries to move into a position where he could be a fantasy contributor.

  • Rams' Austin Trammell: Sees big usage in win

    Trammell caught three of six targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 17-16 victory against the Seahawks. He also returned four punts for 30 yards.

    Despite being primarily used as a special-teams player by the Rams through most of the season, Trammell saw a significant amount of action Sunday when Cooper Kupp (ankle) went down with an injury. Trammell's 46 snaps from scrimmage more than tripled the amount of snaps he had taken on offense all season (13), and was more than his fellow backups Ben Skowronek (nine) and Demarcus Robinson (seven) had combined. Trammell's six targets were also just one less than Puka Nacua and Darrell Henderson, and an expanded role may be available for the versatile wideout if Kupp were to miss any additional time.

  • Dolphins' Cedrick Wilson: Hauls in three passes

    Wilson brought in three of four targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Raiders.

    Wilson and Robbie Chosen split No. 3 receiver reps behind top targets Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle versus Las Vegas. While Wilson had scored in two straight games leading up to Miami's bye, he logged his highest catch total since Week 5 versus the Raiders. It was also just his fourth time this season with at least 20 receiving yards. Wilson stands to handle a similar depth role on the road Friday versus the Jets.
