  • Irvin Charles WR | SEA

    Jets' Irvin Charles: First career target in Week 18

    Charles didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Patriots.

    Charles saw his first career target in the season finale but didn't catch it. He dressed in 12 games for the Jets but played almost exclusively on special teams. Charles added a special teams tackle in the win over New England, bringing his season total in that category to seven (six solo).

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Paces pass catchers in win

    Godwin brought in six of seven targets for 51 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Buccaneers' 9-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Godwin led the Buccaneers in receptions and receiving yards on a quiet day for the air attack. The veteran wideout finished the regular season on a high note, recording at least six receptions in three of the last four games and posting over 50 receiving yards in each of the final five contests of the regular season. Godwin also eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the third straight campaign and fourth time in the last five years with Sunday's production, and he'll draw a favorable matchup to open the postseason against the Eagles' shaky secondary in a home wild-card matchup next weekend.

  • Jets' Jason Brownlee: Nonfactor in Week 18 win

    Brownlee didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Patriots.

    Trevor Siemian completed only eight passes in the snowy win, and none of those completions went to Brownlee. The Jets' lack of depth at wide receiver paved the way for Brownlee to see consistent playing time on the outside down the stretch, but the undrafted rookie out of Southern Miss didn't do much with the opportunities, catching five of eight targets for 56 yards and a touchdown across seven appearances.

  • Xavier Gipson WR | NYG

    Jets' Xavier Gipson: Finishes first year with 21 catches

    Gispon caught one of five targets for four yards in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Patriots. He finishes the season with 21 catches for 229 yards on 38 targets.

    Gipson didn't score a receiving touchdown in his rookie season, but he posted a rushing score and a punt return touchdown. He held down the punt and kick returner roles for the entire season -- posting 319 punt return yards and 511 kickoff return yards -- and saw more involvement on offense in the second half of the campaign. The 5-foot-9 Gipson likely profiles as more of a depth contributor than a consistent starter at wide receiver, but a spot on the 53-man roster will be his to lose next season.

  • Randall Cobb WR | NYJ

    Jets' Randall Cobb: Just five catches all season

    Cobb caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Patriots. He finishes the season with five catches for 39 yards and a touchdown on 17 targets.

    Cobb appeared in 11 games for the Jets, but the 33-year-old wide receiver didn't look like he had much gas left in the tank in 2023. The veteran slot receiver topped 800 yards four times in his career but only once since 2015, and Sunday may have marked his last NFL action.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Three catches in season-ending win

    Evans brought in three of eight targets for 22 yards in the Buccaneers' 9-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Evans logged a pair of receptions for 16 yards on the Buccaneers' first two plays from scrimmage but was then almost shut out the rest of the way. The multi-time Pro Bowler's yardage total was his second lowest of the campaign, and he finished the season just one catch short of reaching the 80-catch mark for the first time since 2018. Nevertheless, Evans could have an opportunity to see a boost in production against the struggling Eagles secondary in a home wild-card matchup next weekend.

  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Little work in Week 18

    Aiyuk finished with three receptions on four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Rams.

    Aiyuk was one of only two key offensive players to suit up for the 49ers in a game that did not affect the team's standing as the NFC's No. 1 seed. Both he and Deebo Samuel got light work with three touches apiece while Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle all sat this one out. Aiyuk concludes the 2023 regular season with a new career high in receiving yards (1,332) to go along with 75 receptions and seven touchdowns. The budding star will now turn to the upcoming postseason, which will commence for San Francisco on either Jan. 20 or Jan. 21.

  • Gabe Davis WR | BUF

    Bills' Gabe Davis: Ruled out for rest of Week 18

    Davis (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Davis was originally deemed questionable to return after exiting in the first half, but he was subsequently ruled out at halftime. He finishes the regular season with 45 catches for 746 yards and seven touchdowns. The 24-year-old wide receiver will look to recover in time for the wild-card round, as Buffalo has clinched a playoff berth regardless of Sunday night's result.

  • Mecole Hardman WR | BUF

    Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Emerges in Week 18 win

    Hardman recorded six receptions on 11 targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Chargers.

    Hardman saw an increased role due to Travis Kelce (coach's decision) and Rashee Rice (coach's decision) both being sidelined for rest purposes. Hardman led the team in targets, receptions and yards, highlighted by long gains of 37 and 14 yards. While he isn't likely to replicate this performance in the wild-card round, Hardman may have earned himself a rotational role in the offense as the Chiefs continue to look for reliable pass catchers.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Finishes rookie season on high note

    Wilson gathered in all six targets for 95 yards during Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Seahawks.

    Wilson's yardage total marked a career best for the 2023 third-round pick, but perhaps more promising for the future was the fact he finally seemed to be on the same page with quarterback Kyler Murray. In four previous appearances together this season, the duo connected on just seven of 19 passes for 69 yards and one touchdown. Wilson thus heads into the offseason with a bit of momentum for the 2024 campaign, and he'll end the current season with a cumulative 38-565-3 line on 58 targets, which equates to a healthy 14.9 YPC and 9.7 YPT.
