Arizona Cardinals

• Marquise Brown bounced back after a few down weeks with a team-high 12 targets (26.6% Target Share) and six receptions for 88 yards in Week 12.

• Greg Dortch has earned eight (Week 11) and nine (Week 12) targets in his last two contests, pulling target shares of 26.7% (Week 11) and 20.0% (Week 12) in each.

• Dortch has also put up back-to-back games with double-digit fantasy points in his most recent outings.

• Trey McBride led the Cardinals with seven receptions, gaining 60 yards on his touches. The rookie tight end earned nine targets (20.0% Target Share) while playing 86.0% of the offensive snaps (61).

Atlanta Falcons

• The Falcons took the lead of a wide-open NFC South race with a win over the division rival Saints in Week 12. 

• The team rode a trio of running backs as Bijan Robinson (63.0% Snap Share), Tyler Allgeier (29.0% Snap Share), and Cordarelle Patterson (26.0% Snap Share) all saw meaningful playing time.

• Robinson led the way with 16 rushing attempts (47.1% Rush Share) for 91 yards (5.7 YPC) with one touchdown on the ground. Robinson was also the only running back on the Falcons roster to record a target in Week 12, collecting three receptions for 32 yards and his second touchdown on six targets (28.6% Target Share).

• Allgeier tallied 10 rushing attempts (29.4% Rush Share) for 64 yards (6.4 YPC) while Patterson chipped in 43 yards on eight carries (23.5% Rush Share/5.4 YPC).

• Drake London led the Falcons with five receptions, seven targets (33.3% Target Share), and 91 receiving yards (54.1% Receiving Yards Share) but the offense remains horrendously ineffective at moving the ball through the air.

• Desmond Ridder made the start after watching from the sidelines for the past two games. Ridder completed 13/21 attempts for 168 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.

Baltimore Ravens

• Lamar Jackson became the fastest quarterback in NFL history to surpass 5000 career rushing yards, doing so in just 82 starts.

• Jackson is also just the fourth player in NFL history to achieve the feat, joining Michael Vick, Cam Newton, and Russell Wilson.

• Zay Flowers led all Ravens players with a 94.0% snap share (57 Snaps) and eight targets (25.0% Target Share), catching five passes for 25 yards and one touchdown.

• Flowers had just a 0.7% chance of scoring when he received the handoff on his 37-yard jet sweep touchdown in the fourth quarter (NextGen Statistics), marking the game-sealing score and Flowers' second of the day.

• Undrafted rookie running back Keaton Mitchell led the Ravens backfield in snap percentage (46.0%), running back rushing opportunities (40.9%), and target share (6.2%), needing just nine rushing attempts to lead the team with 64 rushing yards as well.

• Isaiah Likely received his first full start for the injured Mark Andrews – a position in which the second-year tight end thrived in his rookie season. Likely quickly acclimated himself to the offense with four receptions on six targets (18.8% Target Share) and a team-high 40 receiving yards while playing 73.0% of the offensive snaps (52).

Buffalo Bills

• Josh Allen has now thrown at least one interception in eight consecutive starts, marking the longest active turnover streak of his NFL career.

• Allen had an incredibly productive day minus his costly turnover, throwing for 339 yards and two touchdowns on 29/51 attempts while adding two more touchdowns on the ground and leading the Bills with 81 rushing yards.

• James Cook received the bulk of carries for the Bills running backs, taking 16 rushing attempts (51.6% Rush Share) for a mere 43 yards (2.7 YPC). Cook also saw seven targets (13.7% Target Share), catching six for 57 yards.

• Gabriel Davis led the Bills offense with 12 targets (23.5% Target Share), catching six for a team-high 105 yards and one touchdown.

• Stefon Diggs was close behind Davis, collecting six of his 11 targets (21.6% Target Share) for 74 yards and one touchdown.

• Dalton Kincaid took a backseat to his teammates' production, hauling in five receptions on six targets (11.8% Target Share) for 38 yards.

Carolina Panthers

• Per NextGen Statistics, Bryce Young finished with an average time to throw of 3.41 seconds in Week 12. Young did not complete any of his six pass attempts with time to throw over the above-mentioned mark.

• Young finished the game with 194 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions while completing 18/31 pass attempts.

• Jonathan Mingo was the unsuspecting leader in receiving yards (60) and targets (6 Targets/19.4% Target Share) for the Panthers in Week 12.

• The usual leading man, Adam Thielen, managed just three targets (9.7% Target Share) and one reception for 2 yards.

• Chuba Hubbard (14 Carries/48.3% Rush Share) and Miles Sanders (15 Carries/51.7% Rush Share) despite their hilariously large gap in pay scale and ironically slim gap in talent level.

• Hubbard took his rushing attempts for 45 yards (3.2 YPC) while finding paydirt for the Panthers' only offensive touchdown of the day.

• Sanders tallied one more carry than Hubbard but managed 17 fewer yards, tallying a lowly 28 yards on his attempts (1.9 YPC).

Chicago Bears

• Justin Fields has led the Bears in rushing attempts and rushing yards in two consecutive contests since returning from injury.

• In Week 12, Fields netted 59 rushing yards on 12 carries to go alongside his 217 passing yards. The Bears quarterback failed to find the endzone through the air or on the ground.

• D.J. Moore accounted for 52.5% of Fields’ passing yards, and 40.7% of his quarterback’s total completions. Moore also earned a team-high 13 targets (35.1% Target Share) while playing 93.0% of the offensive snaps (65).

• Roschon Johnson led the backfield in opportunities and snap percentage (74.0% Snap Share) while D’Onta Foreman was sidelined and Khalil Herbert continued to labor through nagging injuries.

• Johnson handled ten carries (62.5% Rush Share) and five targets (13.5% Target Share) as the Bears leading running back.

Cincinnati Bengals

• Joe Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury against the Ravens in Week 11, ultimately ending his season and muddying any relevant usage data for the Bengals offense from here on out while Jake Browning is under center.

• Browning completed passes to nine different receivers, exemplifying the ability to kill any and all fantasy-relevant assets on the offense by being incredibly mediocre while also somehow finding ways to target talentless weapons.

• Ja’Marr Chase needed just four receptions and six targets (23.1% Target Share) to lead the Bengals with 81 receiving yards. 

Cleveland Browns

• Rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson got his third assigned start of the season, replacing the injured Deshaun Watson. The rookie signal-caller completed 14/29 pass attempts for 134 yards with one touchdown before exiting the game.

• P.J. Walker saw snaps under center, completing 6/13 attempts for 56 yards while absorbing four sacks in his short playing time.

• David Njoku has risen in the ranks as the Browns' top pass-catcher alongside Amari Cooper. Njoku saw a team-high nine targets (21.4% Target Share), leading the offense with six receptions for 59 yards. 

• Elijah Moore tied Njoku with nine targets (21.4% Target Share) but managed just 44 yards on three receptions despite his increased opportunity share.

Dallas Cowboys

• No one is playing a better brand of football than front-running MVP candidate Dak Prescott. The Cowboys have produced 114 offensive points in the last three games with Prescott accounting for 17 touchdowns and only two interceptions. 

• The star signal-caller has thrown for over 300 yards in four of his last five games.

• In Week 12, Prescott completed 22/32 attempts for 331 yards with four touchdowns, no interceptions, and no sacks.

• Prescott completed passes to ten different players, surpassing 330 yards without a single pass-catcher amassing more than 75 receiving yards.

• He also completed 7 of 12 passes for 189 yards and three touchdowns on vertical routes Thursday, increasing his touchdown pass total to 16 on such routes, per NextGen Statistics.

• CeeDee Lamb’s seemingly unstoppable tear of career-best production met slight regression in Week 12 as the star wideout topped out with just four receptions for 53 yards. Lamb did, however, catch his sixth touchdown of the season while leading the Cowboys with nine targets (28.1% Target Share).

• Brandin Cooks' emergence as the high-upside producer we all know and love has helped propel the Cowboys' offense to new heights. Cooks hauled in four of his five targets (15.6% Target Share) for a team-high 72 receiving yards.

• The veteran speedster has now scored a touchdown in four of his last six games.

• Tony Pollard is beginning to turn his season around with touchdowns in each of his last two outings after failing to score for eight consecutive weeks.

• Daron Bland broke the NFL single-season record with his fifth pick-six of the 2023 season. Bland has more total touchdowns than Patrick Mahomes has in the second half of games this year.

• Bland is also the all-time Cowboys franchise leader in interception touchdowns with five, all of which have come in the 2023 season.

Denver Broncos

• The Broncos have now won five games in a row, lifting their record to 6-5 with upset wins over powerhouse AFC opponents in the Chiefs and Bills, including a thrilling last-minute victory against the Vikings in Week 11 and a grind-it-out victory over the league’s top defense against the Browns in Week 12.

• Samaje Perine and Russell Wilson both found paydirt on the ground but it was Javonte Williams who led the team with 18 rush attempts (66.7% Rush Share) and six targets (27.3% Target Share). Unfortunately, Williams was only able to levy his touches into 71 scrimmage yards (65 Rushing/6 Receiving).

Detroit Lions

• Jared Goff has now produced six turnovers in his past two contests (3 Interceptions/3 Lost Fumbles). 

• Amon-Ra St. Brown once again led the Lions in all receiving splits, collecting nine of his team-high 11 targets (25.0% Target Share) for 95 yards while Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta saw eight targets each (18.2% Target Share).

• LaPorta was on the receiving end of one of Goff’s touchdown strikes, adding his fifth score of the season. The Lions rookie finished with five receptions for 47 yards and the aforementioned touchdown.

• Jahmyr Gibbs continues to be utilized as a high-upside pass-catcher but remains firmly behind David Montgomery as the leading back in the run game.

• Gibbs received 11 carries (42.3% Rush Share), rushing for 54 yards (4.9 YPC) on a 71.0% snap share (60 Snaps) while Montgomery handled a team-high 15 carries (57.7% Rush Share), gaining 71 yards (4.7 YPC) with one touchdown despite seeing a mere 23.0% snap share (23 Snaps).

Green Bay Packers

• Turnovers ruled the narrative in this matchup, both because of Jared Goff’s costly mistakes and Jordan Love’s lack thereof.

• Love played mistake-free football, completing 22/32 attempts for 268 yards and three touchdowns. The Packers starter has looked comfortable and confident in his last two starts after several shaky mid-season performances.

• A.J. Dillon handled the majority of backfield work for the Packers with Aaron Jones sidelined. Dillon failed to gain momentum against a sturdy Lions front, rushing for 43 yards on 14 carries (82.4% Rush Share/3.1 YPC)

• Christian Watson earned seven targets (21.9% Target Share), taking Jordan Love’s first pass attempt of the day 53 yards to the house for six points. Watson finished with a team-high five receptions and 94 yards.

• Despite Watson’s high-end outing, Jayden Reed owns the rights to the most notable opportunity share as he has now led the Packers in targets for three consecutive games. The blazing rookie received a team-leading eight targets (25.0% Target Share), catching four for 34 yards and one touchdown.

Houston Texans

• C.J. Stroud’s historic rookie season culminated in yet another emphatic performance in Week 12 against the Jaguars.

• Stroud set an NFL rookie record with his fourth-consecutive game of 300 passing yards or more while also tying the rookie record with his fifth game of the season with 300 passing yards or more, joining Justin Herbert (2020) and Andrew Luck (2012) as the only players in NFL history to accomplish the lofty feat.

• Nico Collins and Tank Dell continue to make massive impacts every week. Collins led the team in all receiving categories, posting seven receptions on nine targets (25.0% Target Share) for 104 yards and one touchdown.

• Dell was targeted eight times (22.2% Target Share), hauling in five for 50 yards and one touchdown as well.

• Devin Singletary, Dameon Pierce, and C.J. Stroud all tied with six rushing attempts (31.6% Rush Share). Stroud led the team with 47 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown.

• Singletary helped supplement a poor rushing day with six receptions on six targets (19.4%) for 54 receiving yards to go along with his menial 18 rushing yards.

Indianapolis Colts

• Jonathan Taylor is in danger of missing the remainder of the 2023 season with a fractured thumb that will require reconstructive surgery. 

• The team is hopeful that Taylor can make a return this season, as are his managers after the star running back put up 91 rushing yards on 15 attempts (65.2% Rush Share/6.1 YPC) with two touchdowns against the Buccaneers in Week 12.

• Zack Moss is an undeniable league-winning candidate while Taylor is sidelined.

• Michael Pittman and Josh Downs tied for a team-high 13 targets (31.7% Target Share) but were lightyears apart in terms of production.

• Pittman corralled 10 of his 13 targets for 107 yards (42.6% Receiving Yards Share) while Downs managed just five receptions for 43 yards on his opportunities.

Jacksonville Jaguars

• Trevor Lawrence completed 7/14 deep passes for a season-high 180 yards on his attempts that traveled a distance greater than ten air yards.

• The Jaguars franchise cornerstone spread the ball around evenly in Week 12 with five players receiving five or more targets (Christian Kirk, Calvin Ridley, Luke Farrell, Evan Engram, Travis Etienne).

• Kirk and Ridley tied for a team-high 89 receiving yards with Ridley adding the juicy caveat of another receiving touchdown.

• Evan Engram topped the offense with eight targets (21.1% Target Share) but was somewhat ineffective with his opportunities, catching five passes for 49 yards.

Kansas City Chiefs

• Rashee Rice enjoyed his much-anticipated breakout game in Week 12, leading the Chiefs offense in all receiving categories as the rookie wideout surpassed Travis Kelce as the team’s top weapon.

• Rice caught eight of his ten targets (% Target Share) for 107 yards and one touchdown as the Chiefs bludgeoned the Raiders.

• Kelce remained a highly-targeted and effective option, however, catching six of his seven targets (% Target Share) for 91 yards.

• Patrick Mahomes set the record for the most games with two or more passing touchdowns in a player's first seven NFL seasons, marking the 66th time in which the Chiefs quarterback has achieved the feat.

Las Vegas Raiders 

• Josh Jacobs exploded for a 63-yard touchdown run early in the game but failed to get much going after that. Jacobs gained +58 RYOE expected on the play and had a touchdown probability of 0.1%.

• The veteran back finished with 20 rush attempts (% Rush Share) for 110 yards while hauling in four of his six targets (% Target Share) for 15 yards.

• Jakobi Meyers (6 Receptions/79 Yards/1 Touchdown) and Davante Adams (5 Receptions/73 Yards) each saw seven targets (21.2% Target Share) while Hunter Renfrow (4 Receptions/38 Yards) and Michael Mayer (2 Receptions/27 Yards) saw four apiece (12.1% Target Share).

Los Angeles Chargers

• Week 12 marked the fewest points scored by the Chargers offense since Week 3 of the 2022 season.

• Keenan Allen remains an ageless wonder of high-end production with incredible target-earning abilities. The veteran wideout earned a whopping 16 targets (36.3% Target Share) catching 14 balls for 106 yards. 

• Allen now has four double-digit target outings this season and has fallen below five targets in a game only once.

Los Angeles Rams

• Kyren Williams made an emphatic return to the lineup, becoming the first player in NFL history with 140(+) rushing yards, six(+) receptions, 60(+) receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns in a game.

• Williams immediately picked up where he left off before being placed on injured reserve, handling a team-leading 16 carries (50.0% Rush Share) for 143 yards with six receptions on six targets (18.2% Target Share) for an additional 61 yards while playing 61.0% of the offensive snaps (41).

• In his first two games back from injured reserve, Cooper Kupp posted 15 receptions for 266 yards and one touchdown on 21 targets. In the five games since his return, the Rams star receiver has combined for just 12 total receptions, 127 yards, and zero touchdowns with just 30 targets.

Miami Dolphins

• Tyreek Hill is pacing towards the single-season record in receiving yards, putting up nine receptions on a team-high 12 targets (40.0% Target Share) with 102 yards and one touchdown in Week 12.

• The speedster is averaging 120.4 yards per game with 88 receptions for 1324 yards and 120 targets (31.6% Target Share) this season.

• Hill became just the second receiver in NFL history to record 1,300 (or more) receiving yards and ten (or more) receiving touchdowns in a single season before the month of December (Torry Holt - 2003). 

• It was Jaylen Waddle, however, who led the Dolphins in receiving yards, catching all eight of his targets (26.7% Target Share) for 114 yards and a perfect 100.0% catch rating.

• Tua Tagovailoa completed 21 passes yet only four different receivers (Hill: 9, Waddle: 8, Wilson: 3, Smythe: 1) recorded receptions.

• The Dolphins starting quarterback coughed up two interceptions and lost one fumble but was able to cruise to victory over a hapless Jets team.

• Raheem Mostert (20 Carries/60.6% Rush Share) and Jeff Wilson (11 Carries/33.3% Rush Share) handled the bulk of backfield work as De’Von Achane remained sidelined.

• Mostert tallied 94 yards and two rushing touchdowns while Wilson supplemented the change-of-pace work with 56 yards and three receptions for 17 yards.

• Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill accounted for 80.9% of Tagovailoa’s completions and 88.8% of the quarterback’s total yards in Week 12.

• Defensive back Jevon Holland traveled 124.4 yards on his 99-yard pick-six, marking the most distance traveled by a ball carrier on a scrimmage play this season, according to NextGen Statistics.

Minnesota Vikings

• Josh Dobbs coughed up four interceptions in the Vikings' Week 12 loss to the Bears, seemingly ending the fairytale quarterback's Cinderalla-esque streak of high-upside performances.

• Jordan Addison topped the team with ten targets (31.2% Target Share) but managed just six receptions for 39 yards while missing out on what would have been the game-sealing reception if he could have found a way to keep his feet in bounds.

New England Patriots

• The Patriots' offense is amongst the worst units curated in NFL history this season. 

• Bailey Zappe averaged 1.1 air yards per attempt, the third-lowest mark in a game in the NextGen Statistics history.

• Mac Jones averaged just 4.6 air yards per attempt before exiting with an injury.

• The team relied heavily on the explosivity and resiliency of Rhamondre Stevenson, handing their lead back 21 carries (70.0% Rush Share) on which he gained 98 yards and one touchdown. Stevenson also caught all five of his targets (14.3% Target Share) but the low aDOT of his quarterbacks helped limit him to only nine receiving yards.

• Demario Douglas is growing into his role as the team’s top receiver. The rookie wideout led the Patriots in all receiving categories with six receptions, 49 yards, and nine targets (25.7% Target Share).

New Orleans Saints

• The Saints went 0-5 on red zone drives against the Falcons in Week 12 as Derek Car failed to lead a single touchdown drive, relying on rookie kicker Ben Grupe for the team’s source of scoring.

• Chris Olave more than doubled the next closest receiver on the Saints in terms of yardage (Taysom Hill: 55 Yards), catching seven of his team-high nine targets (23.7% Target Share) for 114 yards.

• The Saints receivers had an average target separation of 2.4 yards against the Falcons' defense, their lowest average separation in a game this season. 

New York Giants

• Tommy DeVito is the first undrafted quarterback to start and beat Bill Belichick at any point in their career since the Panthers’ Jake Delhomme did it in Week 2 of the 2005 season. 

• DeVito is also the first undrafted rookie to best Belichick in their inaugural season.

• DeVito needed to complete just 17/25 passes for 191 yards and one touchdown to help lead his team to victory.

• Jalin Hyatt had by far the best game of his young career, leading the Giants with six targets (24.0% Target Share) while catching five for 109 yards (57.1% Receiving Yards Share).

• Isaiah Hodgins was on the receiving end of DeVito’s only touchdown pass, hauling in his lone target for 12 yards and the aforementioned score.

New York Jets

• There is almost no need to go through the Jets usage data as they are electing to start a quarterback that has no right being on an NFL roster let alone starting on Sundays – or in this case Black Friday.

• The Jets attempted ten total rushing plays, gaining a mere 29 yards on their designed runs.

• Tim Boyle threw 38 times, completing 27 attempts for 179 yards with two interceptions and one touchdown while absorbing seven sacks.

• Thankfully, Garrett Wilson was on the receiving end of said touchdown. The star wideout saw a team-high ten targets (26.3% Target Share), catching seven for 44 yards and the aforementioned score.

• Breece Hall’s seven carries (87.5% Rush Share) yielded a measly 25 yards (3.6 YPC). Hall did, however, see nine targets (23.7% Target Share) of which he caught seven for 24 yards.

Philadelphia Eagles

• The Eagles bested the Bills in a nail-biting overtime victory in Week 12.

• The Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith connection is growing stronger as the season continues. Smith had been suppressed as a secondary target behind A.J. Brown for several weeks but has been the more effective target over the past three games.

• Smith caught seven of eight targets (25.8% Target Share) for a team-high 106 yards (53.0% Receiving Yards Share).

• Brown saw a team-high nine targets (29.0% Target Share), hauling in five passes for 37 yards.

• D’Andre Swift led the backfield with 80 rushing yards on 14 carries (77.8% Running Back Rushing Share) but was outpaced by Jalen Hurts in the scoring department who also recorded 14 rushing attempts for 65 yards and two rushing touchdowns.

Pittsburgh Steelers

• Pat Freiermuth had a career-best outing against the Bengals in Week 12, collecting nine of his team-high 11 targets (% Target Share) for 120 yards.

• Najee Harris was the offense’s only source of scoring outside of three Chris Boswell field goals.

• Harris handled 15 rushing attempts (53.6% Rush Share) for 99 yards with one touchdown despite conceding the starting duties to Jaylen Warren three weeks ago.

• Warren was still involved, touting 13 carries (46.4% Rush Share) and tallying 49 rushing yards. Warren was also targeted three times (9.1% Target Share) as a pass-catcher whereas Harris received zero targets.

San Francisco 49ers

• Brandon Aiyuk became the first 49ers wide receiver in history to have five or more touchdowns in each of his first four seasons in the league. Aiyuk also joins Jerry Rice and Terrell Owens as the only wideouts in the 49ers' illustrious franchise history to have five or more receiving touchdowns in any given four-season stretch. 

• Unfortunately, Aiyuk’s Week 12 performance was quite pedestrian, save for his touchdown grab as the star wideout collected just two receptions for 50 yards on four targets (12.9% Target Share).

• Deebo Samuel took over as the team’s top receiver against the 49ers division rivals, hauling in seven receptions on nine targets (29.0% Target Share) for 79 yards as the team’s leader in all three categories.

• According to NextGen Statistics, Christian McCaffrey generated +45 rushing yards over expected (RYOE) against the Seahawks in Week 12. McCaffrey exceeded his expected rushing yards on 61.1% of his carries and had a 52.6% rush success rate against the Seahawks. 

• McCaffrey now ranks third amongst all players with a +158 RYOE in 2023.

• The star running back capped off a stellar Week 12 performance with a total tally of 139 scrimmage yards (114 Rushing/25 Receiving) on 24 touches (19 Carries/5 Receptions) with two rushing touchdowns. McCaffrey earned six targets (19.4% Target Share) while playing 77.0% of the offensive snaps (51).

Seattle Seahawks

• Geno Smith entered the game with a questionable tag due to an elbow injury and appeared to be struggling with his injury designation.

• The Seahawks quarterback completed 18/27 pass attempts for a mere 180 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while absorbing six sacks.

• Zach Charbonnet has been thrust into a starting role sans Kenneth Walker but has yet to produce with his increased opportunities. The rookie running back handled 14 carries (87.5% Rush Share) and 88.0% snap share (49 Snaps) but was bottled up by the 49ers defense to a tune of 47 rushing yards (3.4 YPC).

• Charbonnet saw four targets (14.8% Target Share) of which he turned into four receptions for a measly 11 yards.

• Jaxon Smith-Njigba needed just two receptions and 41 yards on three targets (11.1% Target Share) to lead the Seahawks in receiving yards.

• D.K. Metcalf saw a team-high nine targets (33.3% Target Share) but managed only three receptions for 32 yards.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

• Rachaad White has blossomed into the league-winning asset we all thought he could become after putting up historically elite receiving production in college.

• White is beginning to expand on his overall profile as well, sporting a career-best rushing outing in Week 12 that saw the versatile running back rush for 100 yards on 15 carries (93.8% Rush Share/6.7 YPC).

• Mike Evans had a big day as the Buccaneers' top receiving weapon. Evans caught six of his nine targets (29.0% Target Share) for a team-high 70 yards with two passing touchdowns.

Tennessee Titans

• Will Levis has yet to reach the heights of his rookie debut, this time tossing for just 185 yards on 18/28 attempts with no touchdowns in Week 12.

• Derrick Henry sported 18 carries (90.0% Rush Share) for 76 yards and two touchdowns as the team's only source of scoring outside of a Nick Folk field goal.

• DeAndre Hopkins was one of three players to receive a team-high five targets (17.9% Target Share) as Chigoziem Okonkwo and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine saw equal opportunity.

• Hopkins led the team with 49 receiving yards while Okonkwo topped the offense with four receptions.

Washington Commanders

• Sam Howell continues to pass at a frenetic pace despite disparaging results in the win-loss column. Howell has recorded at least 40 pass attempts in eight of his last nine games.

• Howell completed 28/44 attempts for 300 yards with no touchdowns, four sacks, and one interception against the Cowboys in Week 12. The dual-threat quarterback kept his fantasy managers happy with his third rushing touchdown of the season.

• Curtis Samuel had a rare mid-season breakout game, collecting nine of his 12 targets (27.3% Target Share) for 100 yards (33.3% Receiving Yards Share) as the Commanders' leader in all receiving categories.

• Terry McLaurin led the team in snap percentage (66 Snaps/85.0% Snap Share) and was closely behind Samuel with 11 targets (25.0% Target Share) but managed just four receptions for 50 yards.

• Jahan Dotson was the most efficient of the three receivers, catching five of six targets (13.6% Target Share) for 52 yards.
