Moore caught five of six targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Chargers.

The Chiefs entered Week 11 already down JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen), and they lost Kadarius Toney (hamstring) before halftime Sunday. The team's injury misfortune opened up an opportunity for Moore to put his skills on display. The rookie wideout did just that, setting new career highs in receptions (five) and receiving yards (63). It is currently unclear if Kansas City's receiver room will get any healthier next week, so the 22-year-old could find himself starting opposite Marquez Valdes-Scantling against the Rams next Sunday. If that scenario were to unfold, Moore could be a sneaky play in Week 12, especially if shutdown corner Jalen Ramsey is tasked with covering the more-proven MVS.

Allen corralled five of his eight targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs. He also lost a fumble.

It was clear the Chargers sorely missed their veteran receiver, as Allen was a frequent target in the early going. Allen's critical fumble with the Chargers driving for the go-ahead score in the fourth appeared to spell doom for the team, but the 30-year-old erased the gaffe on the ensuing possession with a terrific drive-extending 46-yard reception that ultimately led to the team's final touchdown. Mike Williams also made his return after a lengthy absence, but the big-bodied target was forced out of the game with an ankle injury in the second quarter. Should Williams' injury prove to be troublesome, expect more of the burden of the passing game to fall on Allen and Joshua Palmer. Allen seemed to be on somewhat of a pitch count, as he saw action on 68 percent of the offensive snaps in a tight game.

Palmer snared eight of his 10 targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.

The return of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams did nothing to impact Palmer's burgeoning fantasy value as the second-year receiver corralled a 50-yard first-quarter touchdown and also tallied the go-ahead score late in the fourth before the Chiefs rallied to win the game. The status of Williams, who left in the second quarter with an ankle injury, will obviously be something to monitor, but at this point it appears Palmer will continue to be a mainstay in a Chargers offense that has been desperate for playmakers.

Gallup caught three of four targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 40-3 win over Minnesota.

Gallup looked strong despite the low output, breaking tough tackles on two separate occasions to churn out some extra yardage. Unfortunately for his fantasy managers, the 26-year-old fell victim to a game script that called for heavy running-back usage and the resting of starters in the fourth quarter. Gallup will try to get his disappointing 2022 campaign jumpstarted against the Giants on Thursday.

Thielen had two receptions (three targets) for 25 yards in Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Cowboys.

Minnesota's entire passing offense was shut down by Dallas, resulting in mediocre stat lines from Thielen and the rest of the starting unit. The veteran slot man was providing serviceable fantasy results prior to this dud, so fantasy managers shouldn't react too heavily to a blowout game script. Thielen will look to turn things around on a short week when the Vikings take on the Patriots on Thursday.

Toney (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Toney left in the first half and was subsequently ruled out. He has an extensive history of hamstring injuries over the course of his brief NFL career, so it wouldn't be surprising if Toney's latest injury winds up sidelining him in Week 12 against the Rams and possibly beyond.

Lamb caught all five of his targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 40-3 blowout victory over the Vikings.

Lamb was able to haul in 100 percent of the passes thrown his way for the first time this season, but the five targets also marked a season low. The 23-year-old was used sparingly due to a crooked score and a combined four touchdowns from Dallas' running backs. The game got so out of hand that head coach Mike McCarthy was able to pull all of the starters for the fourth quarter, also adding to Lamb's suppressed output this week. The Cowboys' star wideout could be in line for a big game on Thanksgiving against a Giants team that may be without both of its top corners Thursday.

Williams (ankle) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Chiefs. He hauled in his lone target for a 15-yard reception before exiting the contest.

Williams hurt his right ankle in the first half. Per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, head coach Brandon Staley confirmed after the game that Williams suffered an aggravation of the right high-ankle sprain that had sidelined him since Week 7. Given that he's dealing with a setback of a prior injury that kept him out for two games, Williams may have a tough time gaining clearance to play Week 12 in Arizona.

Hollins recorded six receptions on nine targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Broncos.

The Raiders remained heavily concentrated in their offensive approach, with Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams accounting for the majority of the production. Hollins was next in line, finishing second on the team in targets, receptions and yards. While it was an encouraging performance, Hollins has been highly inconsistent this season, posting fewer than 20 receiving yards in four of 10 games.

Marshall secured three of six targets for 76 yards in the Panthers' 13-3 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Marshall made a splash play through the air for the second straight game after also recording a 43-yard grab in the Week 10 win over the Falcons. The second-year receiver has over 70 receiving yards in two of his last three games and multiple catches in four of his last five, commendable accomplishments when considering the state of the Panthers' quarterback situation.
