Chris Conley WR | SF
Texans' Chris Conley: Third in snaps, no targets
Conley was not targeted among his 29 snaps in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Jets.
Conley finished third in playing time among the wide receivers, but it did not translate into targets. Once again, 36-year-old Danny Amendola (five targets, three catches) was a bigger factor for the Texans, who rank 31st in passing offense with 186.5 yards per game and 26th in attempts. Conley has 14 catches on 22 targets for 233 yards and one touchdown over 11 games.

Donovan Peoples-Jones WR | NO
Browns' Donovan Peoples-Jones: Returns to lineup
Peoples-Jones caught two of five targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Ravens.
Peoples-Jones returned to active duty after missing one week due to a groin injury, an on-going issue that's forced him to miss three of the last six games. He's the successor to Odell Beckham as the Browns' top deep threat, but the passing game is hindered by quarterback Baker Mayfield, who's dealing with multiple injuries and has completed 50.6 percent of his passes over the last three weeks. The Browns head into a bye Week 13, which could be an opportunity for Mayfield to get healthier and head coach Kevin Stefanski to fix the team's passing attack.

Marquise Brown WR | PHI
Ravens' Marquise Brown: Eight catches in SNF win
Brown (thigh) had eight receptions (10 targets) for 51 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Browns.
Brown returned from a one-game absence and appeared to be moving freely following a thigh injury. It wasn't a big volume game from a yardage standpoint, but the speedy wideout finished with double-digit targets for the fifth time over his last six appearances. Brown remains Lamar Jackson's favorite wide receiver target, but he has just one touchdown over his last five games (five touchdowns over previous five). The 24-year-old will attempt to take the top off of Pittsburgh's secondary in an important AFC North matchup next Sunday.

Van Jefferson WR | WAS
Rams' Van Jefferson: Tallies long touchdown
Jefferson recorded three receptions on nine targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-28 loss to the Packers.
Jefferson recorded a season high in targets, though he was inefficient for the majority of the game. The primary exception came early in the second quarter when he beat one-on-one coverage deep down the middle of the field for a 79-yard touchdown reception. Jefferson should continue to serve as a deep threat for the Rams heading into a Week 13 matchup against Jacksonville, as he now has at least one reception of 20 yards or more in five consecutive contests.

Brandon Aiyuk WR | SF
49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Leading receiver in win
Aiyuk caught three of six targets for 91 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Vikings.
He also gained four rushing yards on one carry. Deebo Samuel (groin) was doing most of his damage out of the backfield, leaving Aiyuk to lead the Niners in receiving yards while setting a new season high in the category. If Samuel's injury proves to be serious, Aiyuk will take on an even bigger role in Week 13 against the Seahawks.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling WR | LAC
Packers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Commands nine targets
Valdes-Scantling recorded four receptions on nine targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 36-28 win over the Rams.
Valdes-Scantling finished tied for the team lead with nine targets and likely benefited from the absence of Randall Cobb (groin) in the second half. Valdes-Scantling now has 19 targets combined across his last two games. He continued to serve as a deep threat for the team, as he recorded a 28-yard reception early in the third quarter. As a result of that reception, Valdes-Scantling now has at least one reception of 20 or more yards in three consecutive games and has topped 40 total receiving yards on each occasion.
-
Braxton Berrios WR | NYG
Jets' Braxton Berrios: Makes 46-yard catch
Berrios caught two of three targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 21-14 win over Houston.
Berrios actually led the Jets in receiving yards, topping Elijah Moore by one. He flipped field position with a 46-yard catch in the third quarter, but the play was wasted when Matt Ammendola missed a 42-yard field-goal attempt to cap the drive. Berrios hasn't reached 50 yards in a game since Week 2.
-
Adam Thielen WR | PIT
Vikings' Adam Thielen: Two TDs in losing effort
Thielen caught five of seven targets for 62 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the 49ers.
Two red-zone TDs in the first half fueled another huge performance from the veteran receiver. Thielen now has six touchdowns in his last six games and 10 on the year, the second straight season he's reached double digits, and he could be in line for big numbers again in Week 13 against the Lions.

Justin Jefferson WR | MIN
Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Leading receiver in loss
Jefferson caught four of nine passes for 83 yards in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the 49ers.
While it wasn't the cleanest performance, Jefferson still led the Vikings in receiving yards, although he took a back seat to Adam Thielen (two TDs on the day) in the red zone. Jefferson has topped 80 yards in seven of his last nine games, giving him a very solid floor to complement his sky-high ceiling heading into a Week 13 clash with the Lions.
