  • Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Makes most of limited snaps

    Robinson caught both of his targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 17-16 victory against the Seahawks.

    Despite earning just seven snaps on offense, the veteran wideout made the most of his scant time on the field with a 23-yard catch early in the fourth quarter, which was the start of a key touchdown drive that helped the Rams pull off the comeback victory. Cooper Kupp (ankle) went down with injury during the game, and if he were to miss any time, Robinson, Ben Skowronek and Austin Trammell would likely see an expanded role behind starters Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell.

  • James Proche WR | ARI

    Browns' James Proche: No run on offense

    Proche did not play on offense and had three punt returns for 37 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Steelers.

    Proche, who is operating as the No. 5 wideout while Marquise Goodwin (concussion) is unavailable, has taken hold as the primary punt returner. He had a long return of 21 yards that put Cleveland's offense in business on the Pittsburgh side of the field in the third quarter, but an interception ended that threat. In three games on the active roster, Proche has one target and 10 punt returns for 92 yards.

  • Browns' Cedric Tillman: Ten combined yards in win

    Tillman caught one of two targets for two yards and had one carry for eight yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over Pittsburgh.

    Tillman continued to see ample time on the field -- this was his second consecutive week with 66 snaps -- but his impact has been limited. Sunday's two touches and 10 combined yards were seasons highs for the rookie, and the switch from Deshaun Watson (shoulder) to rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center likely won't make much of a difference for Tillman.

  • Amari Cooper WR | LV

    Browns' Amari Cooper: Held in check

    Cooper caught four of eight targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Steelers.

    Cooper was held to his third-fewest yards, which may be a theme the rest of the year as the Browns roll with rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson in place of the injured Deshaun Watson (shoulder). The offensive game plan called for short passes, a radical change for Cooper who has a career-high aDOT of 15.5 yards in 2023 while mostly hauling in passes from the big arm of Watson. As Thompson-Robinson acclimates as the starting quarterback -- it's his job to lose with Watson done for the season -- the Browns may take more chances downfield, and their leading receiver could become more fantasy friendly.

  • Elijah Moore WR | PHI

    Browns' Elijah Moore: Opens game-winning drive

    Moore caught six of seven targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over Pittsburgh.

    In a defensive affair, Moore led all pass catchers from either side with a season-high 60 receiving yards, including a 15-yard grab from rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson that kicked off the drive that led to the game-winning field goal. Sunday's game plan in the absence of Deshaun Watson (shoulder) called for a lot of short passes, which benefited Moore out of the slot, and the usual reliance on the running backs. As DTR grows more comfortable under center, perhaps head coach Kevin Stefanski will open up the playbook. Cleveland added Joe Flacco to its practice squad this week, and his experienced arm could be a factor later in the season if the rookie falters.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | WAS

    Bills' Stefon Diggs: Disappointing numbers Sunday

    Diggs caught four of eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 32-6 win over the Jets.

    The eight targets actually led the Bills, but they didn't turn into much production. Diggs has been quiet to begin the second half of the season, catching only seven of 13 targets for 61 yards and zero TDs over the last two games, but he could break out in Week 12 against an Eagles secondary that's been one of the most generous in the league this season against wideouts.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Garners seven targets in win

    Jeudy turned seven targets into five receptions for 58 yards in Sunday's 21-20 win over Minnesota.

    Jeudy's seven targets tied backup running back Samaje Perine for the team lead Sunday, but it was fellow wideout Courtland Sutton who cashed in Denver's lone touchdown for the premier fantasy line. Jeudy did make the highlight reel on one of his five receptions when he appeared to fake a lateral to his right, before euro-stepping to his left while passing the puzzled defender for a decent gain. It is unclear whether the skilled route runner planned this move in advance, or if the unconventional tactic from an entirely different sport was performed on a whim. Either way, Jeudy will remain a deep-league option when the Broncos take on the Browns next Sunday.

  • Khalil Shakir WR | BUF

    Bills' Khalil Shakir: Career-best performance Sunday

    Shakir caught three of four targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-6 win over the Jets.

    Most of the yardage came on Shakir's 81-yard TD midway through the third quarter, and the second-year wideout produced his first career 100-yard game while scoring his third career NFL touchdown and first since Week 2. It was an encouraging initial performance under new offensive coordinator Joe Brady, but Shakir has still seen more than four targets in a game only once this season, and until that volume increases he'll be tough to rely on in shallower fantasy formats.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Shut down in Sunday's loss

    Wilson caught two of eight targets for nine yards in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills.

    Jets coach Robert Saleh finally got frustrated with Zach Wilson's inability to move the ball consistently and turned to backup Tim Boyle in the second half, but neither signal-caller was able to connect downfield with the team's top wideout. It was Garrett's worst production of the season, and the elbow injury he picked up last week may have also been a factor. The performance snapped a streak of four straight games in which he'd seen at least 12 targets and turned them into at least 80 yards. Wilson hasn't gotten into the end zone since Week 2 though, and the turmoil under center for New York will give the second-year receiver some extra risk in Week 12 against Miami.

  • Jordan Addison WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Limited to three catches in loss

    Addison secured three of six targets for 44 yards in the Vikings' 21-20 loss to the Broncos on Sunday night.

    Addison finished third in receiving yards despite checking in second in targets for the Vikings on the night, as he took a rare back seat to multiple pass catchers in a game that was played with Justin Jefferson (hamstring) still unavailable. Addison's catch and yardage tallies were his lowest over the last five games, and with Jefferson potentially set to return for a Week 12 Monday night clash against the Bears on Nov. 27, Addison could soon officially slot back into a No. 2 role.
