Samuel caught four of seven targets for 65 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Redskins.

Samuel finished behind only D.J. Moore in receiving yards while recording his third-best output of the season in that category. He scored a four-yard touchdown in the first quarter, giving him four trips to the end zone in the last seven games. Samuel also ripped off a 33-yard gain, which was his fourth reception of at least 30 yards this season. He will look to build on this successful outing next Sunday against the Packers.

Beckham caught three of six targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Steelers.

Pittsburgh's defense kept Beckham in check Sunday for his third game of less than 30 yards this season, his first since Week 5. Beckham had been improving in production in recent weeks with at least 80 receiving yards in three of his last six games. That isn't bad, but probably not what Cleveland had in mind when the team acquired the star receiver in an offseason blockbuster. He'll have an opportunity to correct course Sunday against the one-win Bengals.

McLaurin caught two of four targets for eight yards during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Panthers.

Although his team pulled off a terrific road victory, McLaurin was limited to one reception that gained 11 yards and another that lost three. This dud performance comes at an unfortunate time for owners of McLaurin, who had totaled 141 receiving yards on 16 targets over his last two games. The talented rookie will look to get back on track next Sunday against the Packers.

Anderson caught seven of 10 targets for 101 yards in Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Bengals.

Anderson led the team in targets, catches and yards, but he could have had an even better performance if he hadn't dropped a ball in the end zone. The speedster has put together his best two-game stretch of the season with 197 receiving yards over the past two weeks. He'll look to stay productive against the Dolphins in Week 14.

Slayton caught six of nine passes for 44 yards during Sunday's 31-13 loss to Green Bay.

Slayton, getting the start for Golden Tate (concussion), enjoyed his third consecutive game with at least seven targets. He and rookie Daniel Jones seem to have a strong rapport, and Jones looked the fellow rookie's way early in the first quarter to convert a key fourth down. Slayton had seven targets in Week 12 even with the Giants healthy at receiver, so he should get some opportunities irrespective of Tate's health in Week 14 against the Eagles.

Moore caught six of 12 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Redskins.

Moore led the team in receiving yardage while trailing only Christian McCaffrey in targets. He scored a 13-yard touchdown in the first quarter, giving him three in the last two games after recording just one beforehand. Moore now has at least 70 receiving yards in seven of the last eight games and is averaging 103.4 yards per game over the last five. He'll look to keep it up in a favorable matchup against the Falcons next Sunday.

Shepard caught three of seven passes for 40 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-13 loss to Green Bay.

Shepard tied the game up late in the first quarter when he corralled an 18-yard lollipop from Daniel Jones near the front pylon for his first touchdown since Week 3. Injuries and overall offensive struggles have kept Shepard down for much of this season, but he's been prolific when in the game, with at least seven targets in all six of his starts this season. He's a strong fit for Jones' quick-strike style, and the two's rapport should improve with time. Next up is a Week 14 Monday night matchup against a struggling Eagles team.

Godwin secured four of six targets for 50 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-11 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Godwin crashed back down to earth after his eye-popping 7-184-2 line in the Week 12 win over the Falcons, with Jameis Winston getting Breshad Perriman (5-87) and O.J. Howard (5-60) involved at an atypically high rate Sunday. Despite the downturn, Godwin has the ability to pop off on any given week, and with no fewer than six targets in nine straight games, a robust role in the offense is all but guaranteed each time he suits up. The third-year wideout will look to bounce back with better production versus the Colts in Week 14.

Lazard caught all three of his targets for 103 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-13 win over the Giants.

The Packers obviously saw something they liked with Lazard's early matchups. The rookie made a diving 43-yard grab on the Packers' opening drive and then came back with a 37-yard touchdown on the team's second go-around for his first touchdown since Week 6. The big-bodied receiver now has five catches of 20 or more yards this season despite just 22 total receptions. Next up is a Washington defense that, despite some warts, has held opponents to just 10.9 yards per catch, ninth best in the league.

Evans secured four of 11 targets for 53 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-11 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Evans paced the team in targets, but it only equated to his third straight sub-70-yard effort through the air. The multi-time Pro Bowler has gone four consecutive games without eclipsing the century mark overall, but the fact he's now seen double-digit targets in five contests this season speaks to how locked in his volume is. Evans will look to bounce back with better numbers against the Colts in Week 14.
