  • DeVonta Smith WR | PHI

    Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Brings in touchdown Monday

    Smith caught four of five targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-25 win over the Giants.

    The third-year wideout was on the other end of a 36-yard TD toss from Jalen Hurts in the second quarter to account for much of his production. Smith has found pay dirt three times in the last five games, posting a 30-404-3 line on 39 targets over that stretch, and he'll look to keep rolling Week 17 against the Cardinals.

  • A.J. Brown WR | NE

    Eagles' A.J. Brown: Leading receiver against Giants

    Brown caught six of 11 targets for 80 yards in Monday's 33-25 win over the Giants.

    He topped DeVonta Smith by one yard for the team lead, but the latter hauled in Jalen Hurts' only passing TD of the day. Brown hasn't scored a touchdown of his own in four straight games, posting a 28-344-0 line on 47 targets over that stretch. He'll look to break that drought Week 17 against the Cardinals.

  • Darius Slayton WR | NYG

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Posts best line of season

    Slayton recorded three receptions (on three targets) for 90 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-25 loss to the Eagles.

    Slayton posted his highest yardage total of the season and continued his upward tick in production since Week 11. The majority of his 90 yards came on a 69-yard touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter on a deep throw down the left sideline from Tyrod Taylor. Overall, Slayton has topped 60 receiving yards in three of his last five games and has shown the ability to produce with both Taylor and Tommy DeVito under center.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Records three catches in Week 16

    Meyers hauled in three of five targets for 42 yards during Monday's 20-14 victory in Kansas City.

    On a day in which Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell managed just 62 yards passing, Meyers paced the team in catches and receiving yards and ranked second in targets to only Davante Adams (six). It was a quiet follow-up to Meyers' Week 15, when he recorded touchdowns as both a receiver and passer in a 63-21 win against the Chargers. His next chance to produce arrives Sunday in Indianapolis.

  • Browns' Marquise Goodwin: Limited Monday

    Goodwin logged a limited listing on Monday's practice estimate due to a knee injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Goodwin presumably picked up the injury in Sunday's 36-22 win over the Texans. He was on the field for nine offensive snaps (12 percent) in the contest and failed to bring in his only target. His status will need to be followed as the week goes on, but James Proche and David Bell would be candidates to see a few more snaps at receiver if Goodwin cannot give it a go Thursday versus the Jets.

  • Bears' Velus Jones: Continues to see light usage

    Jones rushed once for four yards in the Bears' 27-16 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    In addition to his lone rushing attempt, Jones failed to corral his only target. With 11 offensive touches on the season, Jones' low scoring floor and lack of upside will keep him from being a reliable fantasy option unless his role changes.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Bears' Darnell Mooney: Another poor perfromance

    Mooney caught two passes for five yards in the Bears' 27-16 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Mooney was third on the team with four targets, but for the third time in the last four contests, he was held to fewer than 15 yards. On the season, he hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 1, and Mooney has surpassed 53 yards once in a game all season. His recent struggles make the veteran receiver tough to trust in fantasy lineups.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Suiting up Monday

    Flowers (foot) is active for Monday's contest in San Francisco.

    After opening Week 16 prep last Thursday as limited due to a foot injury, Flowers followed it up with back-to-back full sessions but still was listed as questionable for Monday's outing. With his status now clarified, he'll be taking on a 49ers defense that has surrendered the fifth-most catches (202) to opposing wide receivers in 14 games this season.

  • Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA

    Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Big gain in Week 16 loss

    Tolbert caught both his targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 22-20 loss to the Dolphins.

    CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson were the only Cowboys to see more than two targets on the day, but Tolbert did the most he could with his, connecting with Dak Prescott on a 45-yard gain in the third quarter that set up a Brandon Aubrey field goal. Tolbert's role in the Dallas offense remains inconsistent, but the second-year wideout has caught multiple passes in five of the last eight contests, posting a modest 12-180-1 line on 22 targets over that stretch.

  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: Three touches against Vikings

    Raymond caught two of two targets for 29 yards while rushing once for eight yards during Sunday's win over Minnesota.

    Still running comfortably as the No. 4 option at wide receiver, Raymond got a few touches on offense but didn't even attempt a punt return. He'll remain off the fantasy radar Week 17 against Dallas.
