Jones caught four passes for 52 yards on six targets against San Francisco on Sunday.

Jones is pretty much overmatched in Jacksonville's No. 1 receiver role, which was supposed to be filled by DJ Chark (ankle) prior to his season-ending injury. Jones' line was serviceable on the surface, but the Jaguars passing game was never threatening and scored their one touchdown with just about three minutes left in the 30-10 blowout loss. Perhaps he can get more going against Atlanta's thin secondary in Week 12, but Jones might be dependent on garbage-time production in most of Jacksonville's remaining games.

Anderson caught five of six targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-21 loss to Washington.

Anderson trailed only tailback Christian McCaffrey in receptions, tying fellow wideout DJ Moore with his handful of grabs. Although his long gain was only 11 yards, it was good to see Anderson's involvement increase in quarterback Cam Newton's first start. The wideout matched his season high in catches Sunday, bringing his tally to nine over the past two weeks, an encouraging sign after he managed just one in the two weeks prior. Next up for Anderson is a matchup against a familiar foe, the Dolphins, in Week 12.

Jefferson posted eight receptions (10 targets) for 169 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Packers.

Fresh off of setting a new season high in receiving yards last week, Jefferson wasted no time in raising his personal high-water mark yet again. It was also the 22-year-old's first multi-score game of the season, bringing his totals up to 63 receptions, 944 yards and six touchdowns through 10 contests. The red-hot Jefferson will be the beneficiary of a favorable matchup against the 49ers next Sunday.

Aiyuk caught seven passes for 85 yards and one touchdown on seven targets against Jacksonville on Sunday.

Given the last month of improved production, it's hopefully safe to say by now that Aiyuk is free from whatever limitations he had to begin the year. While he can't always count on the target share or efficiency he enjoyed Sunday, Aiyuk's explosiveness speaks for itself and a similar caliber of play to Sunday's will keep him involved in the San Francisco game plan. He's still probably third in line behind Deebo Samuel and George Kittle in the offensive hierarchy, but a Week 12 matchup against Minnesota is promising on paper.

Goodwin caught four passes for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 16-13 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

With Allen Robinson (hamstring) sitting this one out, Goodwin was second on the team with eight targets. On his 49-yard score, he executed a great double move to get behind his defender, and Andy Dalton hit him in stride for an easy score. Coming into this game, Goodwin had posted a total of 82 yards in his last two games, and if Robinson should miss the Thanksgiving Day game against the Lions, Goodwin may have appeal as a boom or bust fantasy option.

Moore caught five of seven targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 loss to Washington.

Moore started the scoring with a 10-yard touchdown during the first quarter, marking his first end-zone visit since Week 4. After back-to-back games with under 35 receiving yards, Moore fared slightly better Sunday, but he still narrowly trailed tailback Christian McCaffrey in all major receiving categories. Although his production has declined since a hot start to the season, Moore's touchdown Sunday and his established rapport with new-yet-familiar starting quarterback Cam Newton offer a couple reasons for optimism ahead of his matchup Week 12 versus the Dolphins.

McLaurin caught five of seven targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Panthers.

McLaurin was excellent, making a number of contested catches, including a 12-yard touchdown to tie the game just prior to halftime. With a long gain of 39 yards, McLaurin topped the 100-yard mark for the fourth time this season, with all five of his touchdowns coming on those occasions as well. Following Sunday's team-leading effort, McLaurin will now turn his attention toward Week 12's matchup versus the Seahawks.

Moore caught eight of 11 targets for 141 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins. He added 15 yards on one rushing attempt.

Moore got free downfield for a 62-yard touchdown in the third quarter, which was his fourth receiving score in the past three games. He also set career highs in catches and receiving yards, reaching triple digits in the latter category for the first time in his career. The rookie second-round pick got off to a slow start after what was by all accounts an excellent training camp, but Moore has started to translate his excellent practice performance to production on Sundays. If he's still on the waiver wire in your league, make sure to scoop Moore up before the Jets travel to Houston in Week 12.

Samuel caught one pass for 15 yards on two targets while running for 79 yards and one touchdown on eight carries against Jacksonville on Sunday.

A substantial part of Samuel's fantasy appeal was always his ability to contribute as a runner in games where his pass-catching production might lag otherwise, and this box score is maybe the most extreme example of that in Samuel's career to this point. He was almost a zero through the air -- a byproduct of the 49ers attempting only 22 passes -- but his big rushing output made him a solid start for his fantasy investors anyway. Samuel won't stay quiet as a pass catcher long, so he should be busier in that capacity against Minnesota in Week 12.

Mooney caught five passes for 121 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 16-13 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Mooney caught a screen pass from Andy Dalton and raced past the defense for a 60-yard score on his biggest play of the day. He also led the team with 16 targets, and he had a number of near misses on a number of downfield plays that kept him from having an even bigger day. He's averaged 10 targets and 75 yards with two touchdowns over his last three games, and his recent performances have begun to establish him as a solid weekly fantasy starter.
