Boldin caught 11 passes for 87 yards and a score against the Giants in
Week 12.Another outstanding performance for Boldin, who hauled in 13
passes last week. As usual, he did a great job of getting himself open
and shedding tackles after the catch today. Make sure he's in your
lineup against the Eagles on Thursday.

Braylon
Edwards caught five passes for 85 yards in a Week 12 loss to the
Texans.If you can believe it, Edwards was targeted an amazing 17 times.
He had at least five drops of very catchable passes and looked
lackadaisical in his cuts. The Browns' QB change might have hurt his
focus some, but there's no excuse for the way Braylon played Sunday. He
could have had well over 150 yards receiving and at least one
touchdown, yet settled for mediocrity and the Browns fell to 4-7 on the
season.

Jennings had 101 yards and a touchdown on eight receptions in Week
12.The most productive fantasy game for Jennings since Week 4, which
was also his last 100-yard game. Jennings saw a whopping 15 targets and
has now scored in back-to-back games, but he took a wallop on a great
second-half grab. He caught seven passes and scored last season against
the Panthers, the Packers Week 13 opponent.

Terrell
Owens exploded for 213 yards and a touchdown on seven catches in
Dallas' 35-22 win over San Francisco in Week 12. The Cowboys' record is
up to 7-4.Nate Clements shadowed Owens, but T.O. had no trouble
torching San Francisco's $80 million corner. Owens also caught FS Mark
Roman in an unfair one-on-one situation during the third quarter for a
52-yard bomb down the right sideline. Owens didn't get double-digit
catches, however, and remains likely to complain about his role in the
offense next week. He will still be an excellent bet to go off against
Seattle's beatable secondary in Week 13.

Gonzalez caught 10 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown against the
Bills in Week 12.Gonzo is red hot in the spread offense, with Sunday's
production identically matching his reception and yardage totals from
his monster Week 10 game against the Chargers. He gave the Chiefs an
early lead with the 2-yard touchdown and remained Tyler Thigpen's go-to
option the rest of the way. The future Hall of Famer figures to remain
the No. 1 fantasy tight end going forward.

Moss caught eight passes for 125 yards and three touchdowns in Week 12
against the Dolphins.Moss was a non-factor while Matt Cassel racked up
400 yards against the Jets last week, but was a big part of Cassel's
second straight monster game. Moss' bobble led to a first-quarter
interception, but he made several nice grabs including a ridiculous
one-handed catch while tight-roping the sidelines. Moss now has 132
career receiving touchdowns, moving past one-time mentor Cris Carter
for second place on the all-time list.

Smith caught eight passes for 168 yards in Week 12 against the
Falcons.Smith abused the Falcons' secondary with four catches in each
half despite not being targeted for the first time until the second
quarter. It could have been better - Smith dropped a TD and Delhomme
overthrew him many times, including in the end zone. Things get tougher
for Smith over the next two games against the Packers and Bucs, but he
remains a must-start WR1.

Houshmandzadeh was held to 20 yards on four receptions against the

Cinco out, but Ryan Fitzpatrick couldn't muster any semblance of a

remains quite an asset in PPR leagues, he has another tough matchup
against Baltimore in Week 13.

Johnson caught 10 passes for 116 yards to help the Texans take down the
Browns 16-6 in Week 12.Sage Rosenfels played very well in the first
half and was able to connect with Johnson, even when he was surrounded
by defenders. A.J. now has 1,071 yards on the season, good for first in
the NFL, and figures to pass his previous career-high of 1,147 yards
next week against the Jaguars.

Marshall caught four passes for 84 yards in Week 12.He drew Nnamdi
Asomugha a fair amount, but Marshall's modest fantasy day can't be
blamed on the shutdown cornerback's coverage. "Baby T.O." faced
Stanford Routt plenty, getting free for a 21-yard catch & run
against him in the first quarter and settling into a soft spot for a
32-yard gain in the fourth. Marshall saw 13 targets, but Jay Cutler's
struggles limited his stats.

Jackson caught five passes for 47 yards in Week 12 against the Ravens.
He ran the ball once for 12 yards.Jackson was the target on both of
Donovan McNabb's interceptions. One of them was probably catchable, but
the other was a good four feet behind him. Jackson featured once in the
Eagles' version of the trendy "Wildcat" formation and raced for a
12-yard gain. Fantasy owners surely appreciate the extra point or two.

Jones-Drew rushed for just four yards on three carries but gained 113

adjusted to Minnesota's staunch run defense by going to Jones-Drew
threw the air repeatedly, and the strategy paid off. Jones-Drew showed
good hands and made a lot of tacklers miss after the catch. He should
be a bigger factor in the running game next week in Houston.

Addai ran for 70 yards on 16 carries and caught seven passes for 31

Johnson caught four passes for 56 yards in the 49ers' Week 12
loss.However, Johnson made a big error by letting CB Anthony Henry get
inside him for a pick on an end-zone target. The pass was thrown poorly
by Shaun Hill, but Johnson should have played it more physical. The
contract-year receiver is showing why NFL teams weren't hot after him
in 2008 free agency.
