Robinson caught four passes (six targets) for 15 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Rams.

Robinson spent most of his night matched up against shutdown corner, Jalen Ramsey, and the defensive back got the better of the matchup. The Bears' top wideout has now posted two rough outings of 15 yards and six yards over his last three contests, but a lot of the blame can be placed on inconsistent quarterback play from struggling third-year pro Mitch Trubisky. Robinson won't have to deal with a corner anywhere near as talented as Ramsey when Chicago takes on the Giants (24th ranked pass defense) on Sunday, and he should remain startable in most formats with 8.6 targets per game this season.

Kupp (illness) corralled all three of his targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Bears.

Kupp was dealing with a stomach bug all week, but it wasn't enough to keep the wideout from suiting up in an important primetime contest. The Rams leaned heavily on Todd Gurley and its rushing attack in order to slow down the Bears' vaunted pass rush, which caused Jared Goff and company to finish with poor fantasy numbers all around. Kupp produced well considering he only received a season-low three targets, but that is now two consecutive fantasy clunkers (zero catches last week) coming off the team's bye. Look for Kupp to get back on track Monday against a Ravens team that is easier to move the ball on through the air.

Pascal hauled in two of his six targets for 17 yards in the team's Week 11 win against the Jaguars.

Pascal led the team with six targets but his lone significant reception came on the team's second drive when he turned a short pass into a 14-yard gain. Though Pascal has struggled to build on his Week 9 breakout against the Steelers, he has earned at least six targets in each of his past three games. With the Colts playing their Week 12 contest against the Texans on Thursday, it's unlikely that T.Y. Hilton (groin), Parris Campbell (hand) and Devin Funchess (collarbone) will return. That should clear the way for Pascal to see plenty of volume once again.

Houston head coach Bill O'Brien said Coutee had done a good job of paying greater attention to detail this week in practice leading up to Sunday's loss to the Ravens, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Coutee caught three passes for 25 yards Sunday, his first game action since a Week 7 loss to the Colts. It was during that loss to Indianapolis that Coutee had a costly drop and landed himself in the doghouse. The reason for Coutee's two-game benching was not clear until O'Brien's post-game admission. His good week of practice puts Coutee back to third on the depth chart, ahead of DeAndre Carter, as the Texans prepare for a Thursday night showdown at home against the Colts. Coutee's relevance will last as long as Will Fuller (hamstring) remains out.

Perriman brought in one of three targets for 20 yards in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Perriman was able to make an appearance on the stat sheet for the third straight week, a relatively common occurrence for the majority of No. 3 receivers, but not one that was a lock for the young veteran earlier in the season. He had gone catchless in non-injury-shortened contests during Weeks 2 and 8, and he also managed just one reception over 52 snaps in a high-scoring loss to the Giants back in Week 3. Perriman now has seven catches over the last three games, but rookie Scotty Miller appears to be gaining some momentum directly behind him on the depth chart.

Smith failed to bring in his lone target in the Saints' 34-17 blowout victory over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

It was a disappointing effort for Smith, despite playing one of the league's worst pass defenses. He's now totaled just one reception for 13 yards in his last three games played and is clearly an afterthought in the Saints' offensive gameplan. Smith still has the ability to get loose for a big play, but fantasy owners can't count on that most weeks.

Agholor caught four of nine targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Patriots.

With Alshon Jeffery (ankle) inactive, Agholor led all Eagles wide receivers in catches, yards and targets on the day, but that didn't amount to much as Carson Wentz sent more of his passes towards his tight ends, Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert. The fifth-year player has been largely invisible since Week 3, and even if Jeffery remains sidelined against Seattle next week, that won't necessarily lead to more production for Agholor.

Gage caught two of four targets for 32 receiving yards during Sunday's 29-3 win against the Panthers.

Between the trade of Mohamed Sanu to New England and Sunday's matchup against Carolina, Gage had seen his offensive snap count increase from no higher than 22 percent between Weeks 1 through 7, to percentages of 57 and 62 during Atlanta's Week 8 and 10 losses to the Seahawks and Saints. While he's averaged a much-improved 37.7 receiving yards per game over his past three outings, Gage remains in search of his first career touchdown heading into a matchup against a Buccaneers pass defense that ranks bottom five in the NFL with more than 2.4 touchdowns surrendered per game through the air.

Miller hauled in four of six targets for 71 yards in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Miller appears to have a chance to turn into one of the bright spots of what is shaping up as a considerably disappointing season for the Buccaneers. The rookie has now put together a 6-104-0 line on nine targets over his last two games, as he appears to be gaining the trust of the coaching staff, and Jameis Winston in particular. Miller is establishing himself as a downfield threat in the process and could even be on his way to unseating Breshad Perriman for the No. 3 role with more performances the likes of Sunday's. He'll look to continue his ascent versus the Falcons in a Week 12 matchup.

Sims caught two of four targets for six yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Jets.

With Paul Richardson (hamstring) inactive, Sims and Kelvin Harmon both got some extra work. It was Harmon who took advantage with a 5-53-0 receiving line, leading the team in both catches and targets (six). Sims figures to work as the No. 4 wide receiver if Richardson isn't back for Week 12 against Detroit.
