Cobb suffered a groin injury in the first half of Sunday's game against the Rams and has been ruled out for the remainder of the game, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Cobb had a huge first half, but as a result of his injury he will not be able to add to the four receptions, 95 yards and the touchdown he recorded over the first two quarters.

Claypool had three receptions (eight targets) for 82 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to Cincinnati.

Claypool's production hovered right around his season averages heading into Sunday's contest (4.3 receptions, 65.8 yards and 7.6 targets), but he set a new season high with a 27.3 yards per catch average. The 22-year-old is currently on pace to surpass his rookie total of 873 yards with 608 receiving yards through nine starts, but his lack of touchdowns (one) continues to depress his fantasy potential. Claypool's next chance to hit pay dirt will come against the Ravens next Sunday.

Moore brought in four of 10 targets for 103 yards in the Panthers' 33-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

The highlight of Moore's day -- and that of the Panthers as a whole -- came on the wideout's 64-yard grab in the first quarter. Moore would go on to lead the team in receptions and receiving yardage on the night, but considering Carolina netted all of 134 passing yards due to poor performances from both Cam Newton and P.J. Walker, the talented receiver's numbers were a minor miracle from a fantasy perspective. Moore's chances of replicating strong numbers in a Week 13 divisional home matchup versus the Falcons will naturally be heavily reliant on the play under center.

Meyers caught five of eight targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 36-13 win over the Titans.

Meyers set a new season high in receiving yards, topping his Week 3 output against the Saints by four. He still has only one career touchdown, but the 25-year-old wide receiver has carved out a consistent role in New England's offense, catching at least four passes in all but one game this season.

Waddle brought in nine of 10 targets for 137 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 33-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also returned one punt for seven yards.

The rookie posted his first career 100-yard effort in the Dolphins' fourth consecutive win, and both his reception and yardage totals paced all pass catchers on the afternoon. Waddle also recorded his fourth receiving touchdown of the season in the second quarter on a nine-yard scoring grab, and with at least eight catches in three of the past four games, he heads into a Week 13 home matchup against the Giants with no shortage of momentum.

Higgins caught six of eight targets for 114 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Steelers.

Higgins finally broke the century mark in his ninth start of the year, also chipping in his first touchdown since Week 2. Ja'Marr Chase has clearly been the Bengals' top receiving option this season, but the Steelers shaded more coverage his way, opening the door for his teammate to steal the glory. Higgins has been a fringe option in standard fantasy formats this season, so he will look to gain momentum off of a season-best performance heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Chargers.

Evans brought in three of five targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Evans struggled with a Colts secondary known to be tough on wideouts, leading to his lowest yardage total of the season. He has also now recorded three receptions or less in four of the last six contests, and on Sunday he wasn't able to prop up his fantasy production with a touchdown, as he'd done at least once in five games during that same span. A more appealing positional matchup does await Evans in Week 13, however, as the Buccaneers travel to Atlanta to face an average Falcons secondary.

Johnson had nine receptions (14 targets) for 95 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Bengals.

Johnson led all Steelers receiving options in targets, receptions and yardage despite the overall disappointing team performance. The 25-year-old has been a steady fantasy contributor while taking over as Pittsburgh's top receiving option this season, seeing a whopping 119 targets through 10 starts. The heavy usage keeps Johnson's fantasy floor high heading into an important Week 13 matchup against the Ravens.

Chase caught all three of his targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 41-10 blowout win over the Steelers.

The Bengals went up big in the first half on the backs of Joe Mixon (165 yards and two touchdowns) and a dominant defensive performance (interception return for a touchdown). When Joe Burrow was asked to drop back and pass, he favored Tee Higgins (six receptions for 114 yards and a score) on the side of the field that star defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick wasn't operating in. Chase has seen his production dip over the last four contests as defenses appear to be focusing more on the breakout star (38 yards per game over that span). Cincinnati may need to utilize its top receiving option more heavily in an upcoming matchup against the Chargers' high-powered offense next Sunday.

Slayton caught three passes for 40 yards on four targets against Philadelphia on Sunday.

Slayton was efficient with his targets, but it would have been nice to see him draw more in this matchup, especially with teammates Sterling Shepard and Kadarius Toney both out with quadriceps injuries. While Slayton's speed makes him a dangerous downfield threat, the depth of the Giants' pass-catcher rotation and the general struggles of Daniel Jones make it difficult to see the route to mainstream fantasy viability most weeks.
