Amon-Ra St. Brown WR | DET
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Modest production in easy win
St. Brown corralled six of seven targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over Indianapolis.
St. Brown led his team in receptions while tying Jameson Williams for the lead in targets Sunday. The former was unable to push his impressive scoring streak past eight weeks, but he still produced decent fantasy totals for managers in PPR formats. St. Brown has accrued a 71-747-9 receiving line through 11 contests, making him one of the premier wideouts in the NFL ahead of a Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Bears.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Contained again in win
Hill brought in five of six targets for 48 yards in the Dolphins' 34-15 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Hill played a clear second fiddle to the somewhat unlikely duo of Jaylen Waddle and Jonnu Smith, who accounted for 17 of Tua Tagovailoa's completions, 231 of his yards and half of his four touchdown passes on the afternoon. Hill was a distant third in receptions, receiving yards and targets to both of his fellow pass catchers, and he's now mired in a 10-game streak of failing to clear 80 receiving yards heading into a Week 13 road showdown against the Packers on Thanksgiving Night this Thursday.

Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Season-best numbers in big win
Waddle brought in eight of nine targets for 144 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 34-15 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Waddle's long-awaited breakout performance was a sight to behold, with the previously struggling wideout posting season highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The 2021 first-round pick consistently gained significant yardage on his catches, and he recorded his second touchdown of the campaign on a 23-yard grab late in the third quarter. Waddle's production could still remain hard to trust from week to week given this year's inconsistencies, but he should remain heavily involved in a Week 13 Thanksgiving Night road showdown against the Packers.

Malik Nabers WR | NYG
Giants' Malik Nabers: Paces pass catchers in loss
Nabers secured six of nine targets for 64 yards in the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by New York.
Nabers and the entire Giants offense struggled in the first half with Tommy DeVito sluggish in his first start since late last season. However, matters picked up in the second half with New York forced to go into pass-heavy mode, and Nabers ultimately finished as the team leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. The talented rookie didn't seem to experience any ill effects from the groin injury that had popped up late in the practice week, and he could have a chance for better production in a Thanksgiving Day road clash against the Cowboys after getting his first game with DeVito as his quarterback under his belt.

Mike Evans WR | SF
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Team-high yardage total in return
Evans brought in five of six targets for 68 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Making his return from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Evans finished with a team-high receiving yardage total while checking in second in both receptions and targets. The veteran wideout looked as healthy as he proclaimed he was coming into the game and contributed a 26-yard grab among his five catches. Evans, whose catch and yardage totals Sunday were his highest since Week 4, will next take aim at a vulnerable Panthers defense in a Week 13 road divisional battle.

Josh Downs WR | IND
Colts' Josh Downs: Injures shoulder Sunday
Downs exited Sunday's game against the Lions with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return.
Prior to his exit from the contest, Downs caught three of his six targets for 27 yards. In Downs' absence, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierceand Adonai Mitchell are available to pick up snaps at receiver.

Ashton Dulin WR | IND
Colts' Ashton Dulin: Will not return Sunday
Dulin (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game against the Lions, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
The wide receiver was unable to catch his only target of the day before leaving the contest. With Josh Downs questionable to return due to a shoulder injury, Indianapolis is down to three healthy wide receivers in Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Adonai Mitchell.

Kalif Raymond WR | CHI
Lions' Kalif Raymond: Will not return Sunday
Raymond (foot) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts.
The wide receiver and punt returner got injured on a third-quarter punt return. Raymond did not catch his only target on the day before exiting, though he did return two punts for 30 yards. Allen Robinson might see more snaps in his absence.

Laviska Shenault Jr. WR | BUF
Seahawks' Laviska Shenault: Not able to play Week 12
Shenault (back) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Arizona.
Shenault was hurt in last Sunday's win over San Francisco and sat out practice both Wednesday and Thursday before returning with a full session Friday. Despite his ability to participate in that final practice, the special-teams ace won't be able to suit up against the Cardinals. Shenault's absence will most impact Seattle's return game, and Dee Williams will likely be asked to handle kickoff returns in the former's stead.

Kalif Raymond WR | CHI
Lions' Kalif Raymond: Injures foot Sunday, iffy to return
Raymond is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 12 matchup against Indianapolis due to a foot injury, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Raymond's injury occurred on a third-quarter punt return. He got one target (which he didn't catch) in addition to returning two punts for 30 yards prior to his exit. If Raymond can't get back into the game Sunday, Allen Robinson could see more snaps on offense.
