  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Injures hamstring Sunday

    Mooney suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's game at Denver, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Mooney made a midweek appearance on the Falcons' Week 11 practice report with an Achilles issue but ultimately was cleared Friday. He now is dealing with a separate health concern, and if he's unable to return, he'll finish with two catches (on four targets) for 27 yards.

  • Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Paces receivers in loss

    Thomas secured five of seven targets for 82 yards in the Jaguars' 52-6 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed once for four yards.

    Thomas actually managed to cobble together a solid performance despite the lopsided nature of the loss and the fact he was catching passes from Mac Jones instead of Trevor Lawrence (shoulder). The rookie wideout tied with Evan Engram for the team lead in receptions and targets while setting the pace in receiving yards, recording his highest totals in all three categories since Week 7. Thomas should have a good chance of having Lawrence back under center in a Week 13 home divisional battle against the Texans following a Week 12 bye.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Best game of season in Week 11

    Bourne caught all five of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams.

    Bourne had been quiet since returning from a knee injury that cost him the first four weeks of the season, but he bounced back nicely after going without a catch in two of his previous three games. He set a season high in receiving yards and scored his first touchdown of the season on a 10-yard reception in the first quarter. Given the lack of production from New England's wideouts this season, Bourne could have a tough time building on this breakout effort in Week 12 against a tough Dolphins secondary.

  • Elijah Moore WR | PHI

    Browns' Elijah Moore: Finds end zone in New Orleans

    Moore caught six of eight targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints,

    The fourth-year wideout was on the other end of a 30-yard Jameis Winston TD in the third quarter, giving Moore his first score of the season. In three games with Winston as the Browns' starting QB, Moore has racked up a 17-179-1 line on 29 targets, giving him intriguing upside for the rest of 2024. He faces a tougher matchup in Week 12 against the Steelers, however.

  • Jacob Cowing WR | SF

    49ers' Jacob Cowing: Diagnosed with concussion

    Cowing (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against Seattle, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Cowing entered concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head during a punt return in the second quarter. He won't return Sunday, and he'll have to clear the league's five-step protocol in order to play in Week 12 against the Packers on Nov. 24.

  • Titans' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Records 98-yard reception Sunday

    Westbrook-Ikhine had two receptions (six targets) for 117 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.

    Westbrook-Ikhine struggled overall in Sunday's loss, but he and quarterback Will Levis caught the defense sleeping with a 98-yard touchdown on third-and-long in the third quarter. It was the wideout's fifth touchdown catch over his last six contests, although he's recorded two or fewer receptions in four of those games. Westbrook-Ikhine is a TD-dependent option outside of deeper leagues heading into next Sunday's matchup versus Houston.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Breaks out in Week 11 loss

    Jeudy caught six of 11 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints.

    The former Bronco was Jameis Winston's top downfield option, and most of Jeudy's production came on an 89-yard score in the first quarter. It's only the wideout's second TD of the year and his first since Cleveland's season opener, but if Winston -- who threw for 395 yards Sunday -- is regaining the form that saw him lead the league in passing yards in 2019, Jeudy figures to be in line for a big finish to the campaign. The Browns' aerial attack will face a tougher test in Week 12 against the Steelers.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Puts forth season-best effort

    Watson brought in all four targets for 150 yards in the Packers' 20-19 win over the Bears on Sunday.

    Watson contributed a game-long 60-yard reception on the second play of what would turn out to be the Packers' game-winning drive in the fourth quarter. The third-year wideout tied a season best in receptions while setting a new high-water mark in receiving yards, with the only blemish on his afternoon the fact his touchdown drought extended to four games. Watson will look to build on his first 100-yard tally of the season in a Week 12 home clash against the 49ers next Sunday.

  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Titans' Calvin Ridley: Gains 58 yards in loss

    Ridley brought in four of six targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.

    Ridley was unable to replicate his big scoring day from a week prior, but he still churned out serviceable production Sunday. The 29-year-old's fantasy value has taken a hit overall since he joined the Titans, as he has a 36-541-3 receiving line through 10 games and has eclipsed 85 receiving yards just once all season. Ridley still offers enough juice for those in deeper formats, or even as a Week 12 bye replacement in standard leagues against the Texans next Sunday.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Long catch aids game-winning drive

    Pierce caught three of four targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Jets.

    The majority of Pierce's yardage came on a 39-yard catch on the last Colts possession, which set up Anthony Richardson's game-winning rushing touchdown in the final minute. Pierce's ability to make big gains down the field has been his calling card all season, as he came into Sunday's game leading all qualified receivers with 22.4 yards per catch. He needs just three receiving yards in Week 12 against the Lions to match his career high of 593 from his rookie season in 2022.
