Williams caught five of seven targets for 110 yards in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.

Williams' 47-yard reception marked just his second 40-plus yard catch since Week 10. Not coincidentally, Sunday's game was also just the second since early October during which the big-bodied target went over 90 receiving yards in a contest. While his second half of the season has been devoid of touchdowns, it's encouraging to see Williams rack up at least six targets in four consecutive games after a near month-long stretch during which he averaged just five. Williams will look to build on the momentum when the Chargers take on the struggling Giants in Week 14.

Chase secured five of eight targets for 52 yards in the Bengals' 41-22 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Chase saw fellow wideouts Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd outshine him on the afternoon, but he still put together a solid fantasy performance, especially from a PPR perspective. The standout rookie is in a bit of a slump since a stellar 8-201-1 effort against the Ravens in Week 7, posting no more than six receptions or Sunday's 52 receiving yards since that game. His next opportunity to bump up his production comes in a Week 14 home battle against the 49ers.

Moore recorded six receptions on 12 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-18 loss to the Eagles.

Moore got off to a quick start, as he hauled in his fifth career touchdown -- all of which have come in his last five games -- on the team's first possession. He went on to lead New York in targets, with his 12 looks doubling up the next most-targeted player on the team. Besides the touchdown, Moore also picked up lengthy receptions of 29, 18 and 15 yards. This performance was particularly significant for Moore's potential to produce moving forward, as he had found the majority of his previous success this season with backup quarterbacks Joe Flacco and Mike White (illness). That Moore produced with Zach Wilson under center offers optimism that he will produce in Week 15 against New Orleans and beyond.

Evans secured seven of 10 targets for 99 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Chris Godwin stole the spotlight with a 15-143 tally, but Evans turned in an impressive performance by any measure in his own right. The multi-time Pro Bowler checked in second across the board to Godwin on the stat sheet, producing his best reception total since Week 4 and highest yardage tally since Week 5. Evans will have a thorny challenge in a Week 14 home battle against the Bills, although the absence of Tre'Davious White (knee) for Buffalo could help make for a more palatable matchup.

Callaway caught one of four passes for 13 yards during Thursday's 27-17 loss to Dallas.

Callaway continues to command a large snap share and subsequently run a lot of routes, but the Tennessee product has topped five targets in only three games this year. This lowly workload has made him a touchdown-dependent fantasy option, and things are unlikely to get better with the dual-threat Taysom Hill (finger) playing through a torn ligament in a finger on his throwing hand.

Gage brought in 11 of 12 targets for 130 yards in the Falcons' 30-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

The veteran lit up his old team repeatedly throughout the afternoon, leading to career-best reception and receiving yardage totals. Gage has been productive in multiple games this season, but he's also had a trio of catch-less efforts that help render him one of the more unpredictable wideouts around the league. Nevertheless, Gage now has posted at least five grabs in three consecutive contests, giving him plenty of momentum ahead of a Week 14 visit to the Panthers for an NFC South clash.

Osborn had four receptions (seven targets) for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Lions.

Starter Adam Thielen (ankle) was forced out of the contest early in the first quarter, opening the door for Osborn to get more involved in the offense. The 24-year-old produced a solid fantasy line, but it wasn't even his best performance this season despite getting extra run. Osborn could continue to see increased usage if Thielen is forced to miss any time with his sprained ankle. The veteran wideout is currently listed as questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Steelers, but the short week of rest could result in Osborn's first start of the year. He would carry deep-league appeal in the event Thielen is unable to suit up.

Smith caught two of seven targets for 15 yards during Thursday's 27-17 loss to the Cowboys.

Smith and Marquez Callaway again paced Saints wideouts in snaps, but both were outdone by Deonte Harris, who logged just 40 percent of the snaps but caught four of eight targets for 96 yards and a score. However, Smith easily could have had a better stat line if his passes were more catchable -- Taysom Hill (hand) tore a ligament in the middle finder on his throwing hand early in the first quarter and played through it the rest of the game. Considering the dual-threat Hill wasn't the greatest passer to begin with, a throwing-hand injury make his pass catchers even less desirable fantasy assets.

Montgomery rushed four times for 21 yards while catching four of seven targets for nine yards during Thursday's 27-17 loss to the Cowboys.

Montgomery saw a heightened workload with Alvin Kamara (knee) on the shelf. However, Mark Ingram operated as the clear lead back and Montgomery wasn't able to do much with the touches he got. Should Kamara remain unavailable in Week 14 against the Jets, Montgomery would only be relevant as an emergency option in deep PPR formats.

Byrd caught three passes for 36 yards in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

With the Bears missing Allen Robinson (hamstring) and Marquise Goodwin (foot), Byrd had his second game in a row with at least 36 yards. Despite his increased recent production, he'll remain a low-upside fantasy option, and his role will shrink further as the injured receivers return to action.
