St. Brown secured 12 of 14 targets for 106 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-24 win over the Vikings.

Minnesota had no answer for St. Brown with the division title on the line. Continuing to pile on the stats after already setting career highs in receiving yards (1,175) and touchdowns (seven) last week against Denver, St. Brown had his way with a burnable Vikings secondary over the middle of the field while also finding success working the sidelines and on a screen. With few receivers leaguewide handling bigger roles on offense, St. Brown should again stay busy when Detroit travels to Dallas in Week 17.

Hill (ankle) finished with nine receptions for 99 yards off 14 targets in Sunday's 22-20 win over Dallas.

Hill returned from a one-game absence due to a minor ankle injury and resumed his role as Miami's top receiving option. The speed demon wound up leading the Dolphins in targets, receptions and receiving yards after fellow starter Jaylen Waddle left Sunday's contest twice with eye and shin injuries, respectively. If the latter is forced to miss any time, Hill would see his usual lofty target potential increase even further against the Ravens on Dec. 31.

Lamb finished with six receptions on 10 targets for 118 yards and a touchdown while adding 14 rushing yards on two attempts in Sunday's 22-20 loss to the Dolphins.

Lamb did all the heavy lifting for the Cowboys' offense Sunday, finishing as the team's leading receiver in every category while also chipping in 14 rushing yards to help a struggling rushing attack. All of this was not enough to lift Dallas past Miami, who won Sunday's contest on a last-second field goal by Jason Sanders. Lamb extended his impressive touchdown streak to seven games, and he is just one receiving touchdown away from setting a new personal career best. The superstar wideout will shoot for his 10th receiving touchdown when the Cowboys host the Lions on Saturday.

Ridley caught six of nine targets for 90 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-12 loss to Tampa Bay. He suffered a loss of 12 yards on his lone rushing attempt.

Ridley finally broke out with a huge fantasy score after managers were forced to endure three weeks of inefficient play. Jacksonville's top wideout scored both of his touchdowns in the second half of Sunday's loss, but the second came from the arm of backup quarterback C.J. Beathard after Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) left the game with a shoulder injury. The latter was already playing through a high-ankle sprain before injuring his shoulder, so Ridley's production may not take as big of a hit as it normally would have if the Jaguars' backup QB is forced to start against the Panthers next Sunday.

Williams gathered in five of six targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 30-24 win in Minnesota.

Williams has struggled for consistent results in his second pro campaign, but he's now put together a cumulative 9-90-0 line on 13 targets over the last two contests. The 13 looks from Jared Goff marks the most usage in any two-game stretch of Williams' brief career, which may portend his current standing in the Lions offense with just two weeks remaining in the regular season. Fellow wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown again dominated Goff's attention to the tune of 12-106-1 on 14 targets, so Williams will need to take advantage of the handful of times he gets the ball in his hands in order to produce Saturday, Dec. 30 at Dallas.

Osborn reeled in five of seven targets for 95 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Lions.

Osborn may have benefitted slightly from rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison departing late in the second quarter with an ankle injury. Having said that, Osborn had two 14-yard catches on the Vikings' first possession, and he then had gains of 47, six (for a TD) and 14 after halftime. The team's No. 1 wide receiver Justin Jefferson looked like himself with 6-141-1 on 10 targets, but if Addison is forced to miss any time, Osborn and Brandon Powell (3-53-0 on four targets Sunday) would stand to benefit against an exploitable Packers defense next Sunday, Dec. 31.

Waddle left Sunday's game against the Cowboys with a shin injury and is questionable to return.

Waddle left the game earlier with an eye injury and was able to return, but he has now departed the contest for a second time.

Slater (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Broncos.

It marks the first time since 2017 that the Patriots' key special-teamer has missed a game. The team elevated Breon Borders to the active roster, who could fill in for Slater in Sunday's contest.

Downs brought in six of nine targets for 39 yards in the Colts' 29-10 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Downs led the Colts in receptions and targets in the absence of Michael Pittman (concussion), but that didn't add up to much on the yardage front. The speedy rookie hasn't topped 40 receiving yards in any of the last four games, and he hasn't been over 43 since Week 8. Even if Pittman is sidelined again in Week 17 against the Raiders, Downs isn't a sure bet to benefit by any stretch.

Collins caught four of six targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Browns. He also caught a two-point conversion.

Making his return from a one-game absence due to a calf injury, Collins showed little chemistry with Case Keenum early but did connect with Davis Mills on a five-yard TD in the fourth quarter as the Texans made a futile attempt to come back from a 36-7 deficit. Collins seemed to come out of the game healthy though, and the wideout figures to have a much higher fantasy ceiling in Week 17 against the Titans if C.J. Stroud (concussion) is able to return to the lineup.
