  • Steven Sims WR | ARI

    Football Team's Steven Sims: Finds end zone

    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.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Tallies two receptions Sunday

    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.

  • Browns' Donovan Peoples-Jones: Untargeted in win

    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.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Raiders' Nelson Agholor: Bounces back on SNF

    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.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Explodes for 11 catches

    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.

  • Falcons' Olamide Zaccheaus: Attracts only one target

    Zaccheaus caught his only target for 10 yards during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Saints.

    Zaccheaus was coming off an explosive four-catch, 103-yard performance Week 9 against the Broncos that included a 51-yard TD, rendering his Week 11 showing a disappointing one in comparison. Even with Matt Ryan chucking up 37 attempts Sunday, Zaccheaus was still held under 15 receiving yards for the fifth time in his past six appearances. The 23-year-old has the open-field speed to provide lucrative fantasy numbers when he slips a crease in a given outing, but he hasn't proven capable of providing any sort of high-floor production week-to-week.

  • Russell Gage WR | SF

    Falcons' Russell Gage: Second-leading receiver in loss

    Gage caught seven of a team-high 12 targets for 58 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Saints.

    With Julio Jones beleaguered by a hamstring issue from the second quarter on, missing a chunk of second-half action in the process, Gage reached the double-digit threshold in targets for the first time since Week 1. The LSU product started the season promisingly by recording 15 receptions for 160 yards and a touchdown Weeks 1 and 2, but entering Sunday he had averaged just 31.3 receiving yards per game with zero scores in seven appearances since. Gage has garnered six-plus targets in three of his past four games as the Falcons prepare to host Las Vegas in Week 12.

  • Packers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Key fumble in defeat

    Valdes-Scantling recorded three receptions on six targets for 55 yards in Week 11 against the Colts.

    Valdes-Scantling continued in a deep-threat role, as the majority of his production came on a 47-yard reception late in the fourth quarter to set up a game-tying field goal. However, he also had the game-deciding error, fumbling after a short gain in overtime to put the Colts in field-goal position. Overall, Valdes-Scantling held onto his role as Aaron Rodgers' second receiver, though that could change in Week 12 against the Bears as Allen Lazard will be another game removed from his core injury.

  • Byron Pringle WR | WAS

    Chiefs' Byron Pringle: Hurts ankle on SNF

    Pringle (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Pringle caught three of four targets for 17 yards and returned a trio of kickoffs for 67 yards before picking up the injury in the second half. The deep Kansas City skill position group should be able to weather Pringle's absence if he's unable to work his way back into the game.

  • Jets' Braxton Berrios: No targets in Week 11

    Berrios wasn't targeted in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chargers. He had three punt returns for 60 yards and one kick return for 16 yards.

    Berrios made a peculiar choice on the game's final play with the Chargers kicking the ball away after a safety. Rather than trying to lateral the ball to give his team a chance, he ran a conventional return and was easily tackled to end the game. With starting slot receiver Jamison Crowder healthy, Berrios' recent contributions have come almost exclusively on special teams.
