Coker caught all four of his targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons.

Coker was one of five Panthers to notch 50 receiving yards in Sunday's win, benefitting from Bryce Young's best game as a professional (448 passing yards and three touchdowns). The second-year pro from Holy Cross has now caught 11 of 15 targets for 118 yards in five games since returning from a quadriceps injury. Xavier Legette (hip) exited in the fourth quarter with an injury, so it's possible Coker has an expanded offensive role in a favorable Week 12 matchup against the 49ers.

Higgins caught three of eight targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-12 loss to the Steelers.

Higgins capped Cincinnati's first possession with a 28-yard touchdown catch, but that was his only target of the first half. He was busier after halftime and finished as the team leader in receiving yards, while no teammate had more than 36 receiving yards in a rare off day for Cincinnati's passing game. Higgins extended his touchdown streak to four games (five touchdowns) ahead of a Week 12 home game against the Patriots.

Shavers caught four of five targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers.

Shavers was thrust into a more significant role due to Keon Coleman (coach's decision after Coleman was late for a team meeting again) being unavailable in Week 11, with the former making the most of his opportunities. The wideout led the team in catches and receiving yards, most notably notching a 43-yard score in the second quarter. Shavers will likely see a drop in usage with the possible return of Coleman in Week 12, but it's possible that he's earned more snaps on offense moving forward.

Chase caught three of 10 targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 34-12 loss to the Steelers.

After recording a franchise-record 16 catches for 161 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the Steelers, Chase was held to his second-fewest catches and third-fewest yards of the season in Sunday's rematch. Prior to this unexpected dip in production, Chase had at least six catches and 91 receiving yards in each of the previous five games. He'll likely face a heavy dose of top Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez in Week 12, but Chase's ceiling remains as high as it gets.

McMillan caught eight of 12 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons.

The 2025 first-round pick from Arizona had the best game of his young career in Sunday's win, setting new career highs in yards, touchdowns and receptions. He benefitted from quarterback Bryce Young's best performance as a pro, with Young finding him for scores in both the first and fourth quarter. Through his first 10 NFL games, McMillan has looked like a budding star, catching 54 of 89 targets for 748 yards and four touchdowns. He draws a great Week 12 matchup against a struggling 49ers defense and could be in line for another huge outing.

Dike cleared concussion protocol but sustained a chest contusion during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Dike was evaluated for a concussion and ruled out at halftime, but it turns out he is dealing with a different issue, this one with his chest. The rookie wideout came into Week 11 with 21 catches (on 33 targets) for 194 yards and one touchdown over nine games. Veteran wideout Calvin Ridley, who was the team's second-leading receiver coming into Sunday, also sustained a season-ending broken fibula, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. Dike will have a week to recover before the Week 12 game versus Seattle next Sunday; otherwise, Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey will have to step up behind Elic Ayomanor (hamstring).

Jefferson caught five of nine targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Bears.

Jefferson accounted for 53 of J.J. McCarthy's 74 passing yards in the first half. All 76 of McCarthy's second-half passing yards came on Minnesota's go-ahead drive in the final minutes, which included an eight-yard catch by Jefferson. Unfortunately for the Vikings, Chicago answered with a game-winning field goal on the game's final possession. Jefferson is averaging just 54 receiving yards per game in McCarthy's five starts compared to 95 receiving yards in the five games started by Carson Wentz (shoulder). With Wentz done for the season, the Vikings will have little choice but to stick with the struggling McCarthy in Week 12 against the Packers.

London suffered a knee injury during Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Before being ruled out late in the contest, London caught seven of his nine targets for 117 yards. If the Falcons' top pass catcher is forced to miss time, Darnell Mooney and David Sills would be next in line for added WR opportunities, with KhaDarel Hodge, Casey Washington and Jamal Agnew available to mix in. In any case, London's status is now worth monitoring closely as next Sunday's game against the Saints approaches.

Interim head coach Mike McCoy noted after Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans that Ridley is out for the season with a broken fibula, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com and Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site report.

In his first game back after missing time with a hamstring injury, Ridley suffered a season-ending injury. In his looming absence, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike and Van Jefferson are next up for the Titans' WR targets, though as Week 12 approaches, Dike is dealing with a chest contusion and Ayomanor a hamstring issue, per Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com.

Hardman is out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 11 game against Tampa Bay due to a calf injury.

Hardman was making his Bills debut after signing with the team's active roster Saturday. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran wideout saw one target, which he didn't catch. Hardman also returned one kickoff for 61 yards and returned one punt for zero yards with a fumble.
