  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Does little with five catches

    Godwin brought in five of six targets for 30 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Godwin was able to draw even with Mike Evans for the team lead in receptions and was second to his teammate in targets, but he once again was contained to a very modest yardage total. Godwin has eclipsed 55 receiving yards just once in seven games, making him a risky fantasy proposition in a Week 17 road matchup against the Dolphins despite the favorable matchup.

  • Pat Bryant WR | DEN

    Broncos' Pat Bryant: Hurt on big hit

    Bryant (undisclosed) was carted off the field late in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.

    Bryant remained down on the field after taking a big hit (which was ruled clean) from a defender in the final minute. Prior to getting injured, Bryant caught five of eight targets for 42 yards. The exact nature of Bryant's injury has yet to be revealed, but James Palmer of The Athletic reports that Bryant left the stadium in an ambulance, so the rookie wide receiver's chances of suiting up Thursday against the Chiefs appear slim.

  • Chimere Dike WR | TEN

    Titans' Chimere Dike: Snags fourth receiving TD of season

    Dike caught three of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-9 win over Kansas City. He added 145 yards on five kickoff and three punt returns.

    The rookie slot receiver and return star scored his third receiving TD in the last five games, and fourth of the season, on a one-yard connection with Cam Ward in the third quarter. Dike has added two punt-return scores to his ledger in 2025, and his 2,269 all-purpose yards through 15 games leads the NFL by a wide margin. Dike will look to pad his totals in Week 17 against the Saints.

  • Elic Ayomanor WR | TEN

    Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Leading receiver in Week 16 win

    Ayomanor caught three of four targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 26-9 win over Kansas City.

    While the production was modest, Ayomanor led the Titans in receiving yards while catching more than two passes for the first time since Week 9. With Cam Ward beginning to assert himself, the Tennessee passing attack has a little more upside than it did to begin the season, but Ayomanor's 34-428-3 line on 72 targets over 14 games won't make him an appealing fantasy option in Week 17 against the Saints.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Gets into end zone Sunday

    Evans secured five of nine targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Evans appeared to be on his way to a big day when he hauled in a one-yard scoring pass with just over four minutes remaining in the first quarter, but he was relatively contained the rest of the afternoon. His day also closed out on a sour note, as Scott Smith of the team's official site reports Evans misread Baker Mayfield's intentions on a fourth-quarter pass that resulted in a game-sealing interception for Carolina. The Buccaneers still have a chance to win the NFC South by prevailing in their final two contests, however, so Evans will be locked in during a Week 17 road matchup against a beatable Dolphins secondary.

  • Steelers' Calvin Austin: Questionable due to hamstring

    Austin (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions, Burt Lauten of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Austin exited the game in the fourth quarter after sustaining the injury. The wide receiver caught his sole target for an eight-yard gain before his exit.

  • Saints' Kevin Austin: Snags two passes Week 16

    Austin posted two receptions (on three targets) for 18 yards during Sunday's 29-6 win over the Jets.

    Austin served as the Saints' No. 3 wideout after being signed to the active roster Thursday. The second-year undrafted receiver was added for depth after Devaughn Vele (shoulder) was placed on IR. While Dante Pettis was considered questionable to play with an illness, Pettis ended up playing. However, he logged just one target. Meanwhile, the Saints were led in targets by WR1 Chris Olave (16), TE1 Juwan Johnson (nine), Taysom Hill (six) and Mason Tipton (five). Austin will likely serve as the Saints' WR3/WR4 over the final two weeks of the regular season, but his production should be pretty limited.

  • Jets' John Metchie: One catch in Week 16

    Metchie caught one of five targets for four yards in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

    Metchie's streak of consecutive games with at least four catches ended at four. It's tough to trust any member of the Jets' passing offense with undrafted rookie Brady Cook under center, but Metchie would gain a bit more appeal if Gang Green turns back to Tyrod Taylor or Justin Fields (knee) under center in Week 17 against the Patriots. Metchie caught a touchdown pass from Fields in Week 11 against the Patriots.

  • Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Three catches in Week 16 defeat

    Mitchell caught three of six targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

    Mitchell finished second on the team in receiving yards behind backup running back Isaiah Davis' 52. This was the sixth time in as many games with the Jets that Mitchell has drawn at least six targets. Whether the Jets start undrafted rookie Brady Cook at quarterback for a third consecutive game or turn back to one of Tyrod Taylor or Justin Fields (knee), Mitchell should continue to function as the team's top downfield target in Week 17 against the Patriots.

  • Mason Tipton WR | NO

    Saints' Mason Tipton: Logs four catches Week 16

    Tipton totaled four receptions (on five targets) for 29 yards during Sunday's 29-6 victory versus the Jets.

    Tipton stepped up as the Saints' WR2 due to Devaughn Vele (shoulder) going on IR. No. 1 receiver Chris Olave still outpaced the team's receiving corps by a significant margin with 10 receptions on 16 targets, and tight end Juwan Johnson was the true No. 2 receiving option with eight catches on nine targets. Quarterback Tyler Shough also had a massive performance with 308 passing yards on 49 attempts, which he's unlikely to repeat moving forward. Tipton's production should remain capped if he continues filling in as one of New Orleans' starting wideouts for the final two games of the regular season. The team will next play the Titans on Sunday, Dec. 28.
