  • Jalen Coker WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jalen Coker: Goes for 47 yards in victory

    Coker caught three of five targets for 47 yards in the Panthers' 23-20 win over the Bucs on Sunday.

    Coker has drawn between four and six targets in six straight games as the distant second or third option in the Carolina offense behind rookie Tetairoa McMillan. Coker has yet to hit 75 yards in any single game this season and has settled in as a low-ceiling fantasy option ahead of next Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Steelers' Adam Thielen: Produces 49 yards in Week 16 win

    Thielen caught all four of his targets for 49 yards in the Steelers' 29-24 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Thielen's targets, catches and yards were all new season-highs for the 35-year-old wideout. After producing just two catches for 11 yards on two targets in his first two games with the Steelers, Thielen finished second on the team in receiving against Detroit. He's emerging as a clear top-three wide receiver in Pittsburgh, but it's unlikely to translate to useful fantasy numbers outside of deeper formats ahead of next Sunday's game against the Browns.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Struggles in Week 16 return

    London (knee) had three receptions on eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.

    London returned from a four-game absence due to a knee injury and was held in check by Arizona's defense. The star wideout was averaging 6.7 receptions and 90.0 yards in nine active games prior to going down in Week 11, highlighting the stark drop-off in production in Sunday's return. The good news is that London appeared to get through the contest without suffering a setback, potentially setting up a true return to form in Week 17 against the Rams.

  • Dolphins' Malik Washington: Rushing TD in loss

    Washington caught his lone target for 23 yards and rushed one time for a nine-yard touchdown in Miami's 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

    After catching multiple passes in 13 of his first 14 games, Washington has now posted back-to-back one-catch games on a total of two targets. Washington, however, was able to salvage his box score with a nine-yard rushing score in the second quarter to give the Dolphins a 14-10 lead. Cincinnati would then go on to score 35 straight points to bury the Dolphins. Washington has minimal fantasy appeal headed into next Sunday's date with Tampa Bay.

  • Pat Bryant WR | DEN

    Broncos' Pat Bryant: Has movement, being evaluated

    Bryant has movement in his arms and legs but is being evaluated for a concussion after being taken to the hospital as a precaution following Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.

    Bryant was injured in the final minute and was taken to the hospital after the game. He would be placed in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol if a concussion is confirmed, but it's encouraging that Bryant has movement in his extremities after being immobilized on a stretcher as he left the field. Denver's next game will be Thursday at Kansas City.

  • Isaac TeSlaa WR | DET

    Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Productive in loss to Pittsburgh

    TeSlaa caught four of seven targets for 52 yards and one touchdown in the Lions' 29-24 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

    TeSlaa entered Week 16 having seen 15 targets all season, so seven easily marked a new single-game high for the rookie wideout. His seven targets were fourth on the team on a day Jared Goff dropped back to pass 57 times with the Lions in comeback mode much of the afternoon. TeSlaa now has a touchdown in three of the last four games but will be difficult to get behind as a fantasy starter on Christmas Day against the Vikings.

  • Jaguars' Parker Washington: Career-best performance

    Washington recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 145 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Broncos.

    Washington has been a reliable target for Trevor Lawrence for most of the season, but he stepped up as the team's top pass catcher in Sunday's win. His longest gain of the day came late in the third quarter, when he caught a short pass and then split a pair of defenders before cutting upfield for 63 yards. Washington also chipped in additional long gains of 24, 21 and 20 yards on top of a 12-yard touchdown to record his highest yardage total in a matchup. He now has at least 70 receiving yards in three of his last seven games while scoring three times in that span.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Makes most of decreased role

    Wilson finished with two receptions on three targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 loss to Atlanta.

    WR Marvin Harrison (heel) returned to the starting lineup in Week 16 and pushed Wilson back into his usual No. 2 role on offense. The former saw only three targets in his return to the field while backup TE Elijah Higgins (7-91-0) surprisingly finished as Arizona's leading receiver Sunday. Wilson -- who was averaging 15.0 targets in games Harrison has missed this year -- made the most of his reduced opportunities by scoring a touchdown in the first quarter with the assistance of replay review. The 25-year-old Wilson's three targets are a concerning sign looking forward because the wideout has struggled to find the end zone with just two TDs (including Sunday's) in games Harrison has been active for. Wilson's upside takes a huge hit for Week 17, but he is still producing enough alongside Harrison to warrant starting consideration against the Bengals next Sunday.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Inefficient outing Sunday

    Collins had four receptions on nine targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders.

    Collins finished as Houston's leading receiver on a team-high nine targets, but his production was muted by his worst catch rate (44 percent) since Week 10. The star wideout failed to take advantage of a soft matchup against the Raiders in a contest that wound up being much closer than many had anticipated. Collins had been on a three-game heater (12-304-2) prior to Sunday's pedestrian results, so fantasy managers in the thick of the playoff schedule are hoping for a bounce-back effort against the Chargers on Saturday.

  • Emeka Egbuka WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Big gain on one catch Sunday

    Egbuka brought in one of two targets for 40 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Egbuka needed just his one catch to secure the team lead in receiving yards on a day when Baker Mayfield was under the 200-yard mark for the third time in four games. Despite the splash play, fantasy managers have to be disappointed with Egbuka's stretch-run swoon, considering he's been at 42 receiving yards or fewer in five of the last six contests. Egbuka will be a relatively risky option on championship week for many fantasy leagues despite his favorable matchup against the Dolphins on the road next Sunday.
