Edwards caught one pass for one yard on two targets in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Chiefs.

Edwards was targeted on two of his nine offensive snaps, but he's seemingly still being eased back into action since his Week 9 return from ankle and foot injuries. The Falcons' secondary has been generous to opposing wide receivers this season, but Edwards remains behind Nelson Agholor, Henry Ruggs and Hunter Renfrow at wide receiver ahead of a Week 12 matchup in Atlanta.

Grant caught two of six targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos.

Grant also had one carry for three yards and was held to just six punt return yards after having accumulated at least 50 in three of the last four games. He once again operated as the No. 2 receiver in place of Preston Williams (foot) and drew his highest target total of the season, but Grant was unable to capitalize on those opportunities versus the Broncos' defense. A Week 12 road matchup against the Jets will provide him, and Miami's aerial attack as a whole, with an opportunity to get right.

Coutee caught two of four targets for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over New England.

Eraly injuries to Randall Cobb (toe) and Kenny Stills (quadriceps) cleared the way for Coutee's biggest game of the season. He played a season-high 35 snaps (57 percent) and was targeted three times in the red zone. With a short week of preparation for Week 12 on Thursday in Detroit, Coutee could be the starting slot receiver against the Lions.

Sims caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Bengals.

Sims got the start and played 84 percent of offensive snaps, but he was targeted only twice on Alex Smith's 25 pass attempts. The 6-foot-5 wideout continues to be highly efficient with his limited opportunities, averaging 2.5 catches for 51.5 yards on 3.0 targets per game since he became a starter in Week 11. It's possible Sims loses some work if Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) returns for Thursday's game against Dallas.

Jones caught his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Chiefs.

Jones remains at the bottom of the pecking order at wide receiver for the Raiders, as he matched his season low of five offensive snaps on Sunday Night Football. If he's able to earn more playing time in Week 12, a favorable matchup against the Falcons awaits.

Sims caught each of his three targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-9 win over Cincinnati.

The touchdown was Sims' first of the season, but he played only 32 percent of offensive snaps, his third straight week below 50 percent since he returned from injured reserve. With Terry McLaurin and Cam Sims working as the starters in recent weeks, the remaining WR snaps have been split between Steven Sims, J.D. McKissic and Isaiah Wright. Things could become even more crowded if Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) makes it back for Thursday's game against Dallas.

Renfrow caught two passes on as many targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Chiefs. He also returned a pair of punts for a total of 11 yards.

Renfrow has now recorded at least two receptions in five consecutive games since the Raiders' Week 6 bye, but Nelson Agholor and Darren Waller continue to flash more fantasy upside in the Raiders' aerial attack. Renfrow will hope to take advantage of a beatable Falcons secondary in Week 12 as the Raiders travel to Atlanta.

Peoples-Jones was not targeted over seven offensive snaps in Sunday's 22-17 win over Philadelphia.

Peoples-Jones played fewer than 10 snaps for the third time in five games and once again had more impact as a returner. He had 22 yards on four punt returns and 30 yards on one kickoff return. The rookie had been the primary returner in both phases, but in a new wrinkle, D'Ernest Johnson had more kickoff return chances (two) Sunday.

Agholor caught six of nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-31 loss to Kansas City.

Agholor was coming off an ugly one-catch outing against the Broncos in Week 10, but he returned to looking like the Raiders' top wideout in a showdown with the Chiefs. The former Eagle led his new club in targets, and has logged the most snaps of any Las Vegas wide receiver through 10 games despite not cracking the starting lineup until Week 3. Agholor has alternated strong and poor performances over the last five weeks, but the odds are in favor of him bucking that trend in a favorable Week 12 matchup against the Falcons' 31st-ranked pass defense.

Hill had 11 receptions (14 targets) for 102 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-31 win over Las Vegas.

Hill got the scoring going early for the Chiefs on a short pitch and catch from Patrick Mahomes in the first quarter. The 11 receptions set a new high watermark for the speedy wideout. Hill is known more for his explosive plays as opposed to volume, but the Raiders were sitting in cover-4 shells for most of the night, so head coach Andy Reid and Mahomes took what the defense gave them and connected with Hill on shorter routes. Look for Kansas City's dynamic duo to potentially return to the long ball against a Buccaneers defense that loves to blitz the opposition relentlessly and leave its defensive backs in man coverage.
