Toney (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Toney has been plagued by injuries since the Giants selected him in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, and his hamstring has been a frequent cause of concern. The Chiefs traded for Toney in hopes that he could find the health and consistency that eluded him in New York, but Toney made it through only two games unscathed before getting banged up in his third appearance for Kansas City. He didn't catch his only target against the Chargers prior to the injury.

Sutton recorded five catches on seven targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Raiders.

Russell Wilson spread the ball around, as seven Denver pass catchers drew multiple targets. However, Sutton led the way in targets, receptions and yards while posting his highest yardage total since Week 3. Two of his five catches went for more than 20 yards, also marking the first time he's managed multiple big plays in a game since Week 2. Sutton managed that production in the absence of Jerry Jeudy (ankle), and he should be the top pass catcher again in Week 12 against Carolina if Jeudy remains sidelined.

Williams (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Williams got up limping after making a tiptoeing catch along the sideline in the first half, so it's likely that he aggravated his ankle injury on that play. He had been out since spraining his ankle in Week 7. That sideline grab went for a gain of 15 on Williams' only target prior to his exit.

Johnson caught four of five targets for 21 yards and rushed once for one yard in Sunday's 37-30 loss to the Bengals.

Cincinnati consistently shaded extra attention Johnson's way, so rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett threw mostly to George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth, who combined for 12 catches, 162 yards and a touchdown on 18 targets. Johnson's still searching for his first touchdown of the season heading into Week 12 against the Colts, and he's mustered 63 yards or fewer in each of his past seven games.

Jefferson (toe) was held to 33 yards on three receptions (five targets) in Sunday's 40-3 blowout loss to Dallas.

Jefferson entered the game hobbled due to a minor bout with turf toe, but he didn't appear to be limited while running routes Sunday. That's where the good news ends for fantasy managers, as the superstar wideout was shut down by the Cowboys' premier pass defense. Kirk Cousins (12-of-23 for 105 yards) had no time to throw in the pocket, effectively disrupting Jefferson's ability to develop routes downfield against coverage shaded his way. The 23-year-old was averaging 135.7 yards per game over his previous six contests, so better days will be ahead after a forgettable Week 11. Jefferson and the Vikings will have to regroup quickly with short turnaround ahead of Thursday's tilt against the Patriots.

Hodgins secured all three of his targets for 29 yards in a Week 11 loss to Detroit on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Hodgins tied for fourth on the team in both targets and receiving yards, and he's emerged as an offensive contributor with five catches on five targets for 70 yards over the past two weeks. However, the third-year wideout also cost the Giants with a lost fumble in the fourth quarter that Detroit turned into a touchdown to essentially seal the win. Despite the miscue, Hodgins could see his opportunities increase if Wan'Dale Robinson -- who hurt his ankle in the contest and was seen on crutches afterward -- is forced to miss Thursday's Thanksgiving clash against the Cowboys.

Collins brought in five of seven targets for 48 yards in the Texans' 23-10 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

Collins shared the team lead in receptions and targets while finishing second in receiving yards behind Brandin Cooks. The second-year wideout has back-to-back five-catch efforts going into a Week 12 matchup against the Dolphins, but his greatest value comes in PPR formats given the limitations of his quarterback.

Pickens caught four of six targets for 83 yards and a touchdown prior to being ejected in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 37-30 loss to the Bengals.

After finding the end zone on the ground in Pittsburgh's previous game, Pickens caught his second career receiving touchdown in this one, scoring from 24 yards out in the second quarter. He added a highlight catch along the sideline for a 33-yard gain early in the fourth quarter, but Pickens had a would-be long touchdown go through his hands with the Steelers down by two touchdowns later in the fourth. After Pittsburgh failed to recover an onside kick with 45 seconds left and no timeouts, Pickens made a late hit on Tyler Boyd that led to Pickens' disqualification. The rookie wide receiver is unlikely to face more than a fine as a result of the ejection, so he'll look to extend his touchdown streak on MNF against the Colts in Week 12.

Cooks secured three of six targets for 70 yards in the Texans' 23-10 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

The veteran wideout paced the Texans in receiving yardage, with a game-long 41-yard grab playing a significant part. Cooks' upside will continue to be capped to a degree by the team's quarterback play, but he's at least hit or exceeded the 70-yard mark in two of his last three games heading into a Week 12 road matchup versus an inconsistent Dolphins secondary.

Irwin had three catches on four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Steelers.

By rule Irwin will revert back to the Bengals' practice squad at the start of Week 12, but it would come as a surprise if they don't add him full-time to the roster. He's proven to be a far more reliable option than teammates Mike Thomas and Trent Taylor.
