  • Gage Larvadain WR | CLE

    Browns' Gage Larvadain: Impacts win on special teams

    Larvadain was not targeted and had four punt returns for 81 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Raiders in Week 12.

    Larvadain's greatest impact came the first time he touched the ball, when he returned a first-quarter punt 44 yards to set up Cleveland's first touchdown. While he continues to get steady work on special teams, it was another invisible day on offense for the undrafted free agent, who has just one target over the last four contests and six in seven games.

  • Malachi Corley WR | CLE

    Browns' Malachi Corley: Minor role in win

    Corley caught his lone target for eight yards, had one carry for minus-6 yards and returned two kickoffs for 58 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over Las Vegas in Week 12.

    Corley served in a variety roles in the win, continues the usage he's seen three times in the last four games. He accumulated 13 snaps on offense, and his 25 percent share Sunday was on par with the previous three weeks. Corley has gained more yards as a runner (68 on five carries) than as a receiver (34 on five receptions), but in the aggregate he offers little fantasy value.

  • Chimere Dike WR | TEN

    Titans' Chimere Dike: Scores twice in loss

    Dike recorded five receptions on seven targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Seahawks. He added a punt return for 90 yards and a touchdown and five kickoff returns for 98 yards.

    Dike was at the center of Tennessee's second-half comeback effort, which began with his 90-yard punt return for a score. He also brought the Titans within six points on a one-yard touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter. Dike took advantage of the absence of Calvin Ridley (leg) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring), and he should play a key role in the offense for the rest of his rookie campaign.

  • Raiders' Tyler Lockett: Leads team with 62 yards

    Lockett had four receptions on five targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.

    Lockett finished the loss as the Raiders' leading receiver despite finishing fourth in team targets Sunday. The veteran wideout continues to show good chemistry with former and current teammate Geno Smith, averaging 4.3 receptions and 46.3 yards in three games filling in as a starter for Jakobi Meyers after the latter was dealt to Jacksonville at the trade deadline. Lockett is still barely scratching the surface as a deep-league option for next Sunday's tilt against the Chargers.

  • Tre Tucker WR | LV

    Raiders' Tre Tucker: Struggles with 10 targets Sunday

    Tucker was held to three receptions on 10 targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to Cleveland.

    Tucker led the Raiders with 10 targets Sunday, but he failed to convert the increased opportunities into production in the box score. The blame can be primarily placed on QB Geno Smith, who airmailed an open Tucker down the field on several occasions in the disappointing loss. The 10 targets represented a new high-water mark for the speedy receiver, as his role has expanded in the three games following the departure of Jakobi Meyers at the trade deadline. There is still enough upside for Tucker in his current role to warrant flex consideration against the Chargers next Sunday.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Scores first TD of season with JAX

    Meyers hauled in four of six targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against Arizona.

    Meyers finally hit pay dirt with his first touchdown as a member of the Jaguars since being traded from the Raiders on Nov. 4. It was also the veteran wideout's first touchdown of the season after being held scoreless over his previous nine appearances overall. Meyers has become more comfortable in Jacksonville's offense with each passing week, which should excite fantasy managers with thoughts of a strong run to close out the regular season. The 28-year-old will attempt to build off of this strong performance in a road tilt against Tennessee next Sunday.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | ATL

    Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Rips off long TD on Sunday

    Mooney had three receptions on as many targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints.

    Mooney turned in his best fantasy score this season after breaking off a 49-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach for New Orleans. The big scoring play helps explain the outburst in production on just three targets Sunday. The absence of Drake London (knee) may have helped Mooney as well, but the latter was averaging 7.5 targets/game in Atlanta's last two games (both with London active), so the elevated role did not result in an uptick in targets. London is being considered week-to-week, but Mooney should stick as a deep-league option even if his teammate returns against the Jets next Sunday.

  • Steelers' Calvin Austin: Makes four catches

    Austin recorded four receptions on five targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears.

    After a quiet showing in Week 11, Austin rebounded to his more typical role. He has between five and seven targets in four of his last five games, though he's struggled to make an impact with that opportunity. Austin has been held to 40 receiving yards or less in all but two of his 10 contests and hasn't found the end zone since Week 3.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Two catches in Week 12 win

    Wicks brought in two of four targets for 32 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Wicks finished with the second-most receiving yards and targets on the day for the Packers despite his modest output in both categories. The third-year pro has dealt with a lingering calf issue and has missed two games overall, but Wicks does have multiple catches in seven of the nine games he's appeared in. He'll have a chance at more volume during a Week 13 Thanksgiving Day showdown against the Lions that could develop into a high-scoring affair.

  • DeVonta Smith WR | PHI

    Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Six catches in loss

    Smith recorded six receptions on 11 targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.

    Smith led the Eagles in targets and also matched his season high. His longest catch of the day went for 41 yards, which came on an impressive catch deep down the right sideline as he was forced to adjust to an underthrown ball. Smith had a needed bounceback performance after struggling in Week 11, and he now has at least 65 receiving yards in four of his last five games while serving as Philadelphia's most consistent pass catcher.
