Bourne finished the 2022 season with 35 catches on 48 targets for 434 yards and a TD in 16 games to go along with six carries for 39 yards.

In his second campaign with the Patriots, Bourne's production took a dip from the 55/800/5 stat line he logged in 2021. The 27-year-old remains under contract with the Patriots next season, but Bourne's chances of a fantasy bounce-back in 2023 hinge on the composition of the team's wideout corps following free agency and the NFL draft. With that in mind, Nelson Agholor and Jakobi Meyers are slated to be free agents this offseason, while DeVante Parker and Tyquan Thornton remain under contract with New England.

Agholor finished the 2022 season with 31 catches on 53 targets for 362 yards and two TDs in 16 games.

With Agholor having completed the two-year $22 million contract he signed with the Patriots in March of 2021, the 29-year-old is slated to become a free agent this offseason. With his profile in the team's offense having diminished down the stretch, it seems likely that the 2015 first-rounder will be playing elsewhere next season. It's possible that a change of scenery could benefit Agholor in terms of the potential for added volume, but for now his fantasy prospects for 2023 appear modest.

Thornton finished the 2022 season with 22 catches on 45 targets for 247 yards and two TDs in 13 games.

In his rookie campaign, the 2022 second-rounder was a complementary piece in a New England wideout corps that also included Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor. Looking ahead, Parker, Bourne and Thornton remain under contract with the team next season, with reinforcements slated to arrive via free agency and the draft. Thornton's fantasy prospects in 2023 hinge on him seeing increased volume, which is a plausible outcome for the speedster out of Baylor pending the Patriots' offseason moves.

Milne finished the 2022 season with six catches for 37 yards, 40 punt returns for 311 yards and 15 kickoff returns for 300 yards.

The 2021 seventh-round pick had a long return of 19 yards for punts and 33 yards for kickoffs, but the Commanders might be okay with the lack of explosiveness given that he didn't muff a punt or lose a fumble all year. Milne nonetheless could face competition for the return job during Washington's offseason program, and he's unlikely to reach the top three of the depth chart on offense.

Brown finished the 2022 season with five catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns on 14 targets.

The 2021 third-round pick made 15 appearances without ever playing even one-third of Washington's offensive snaps, though he did nearly lead the team to victory with TD catches of 75 and 30 yards in a 21-17 loss to the Titans in Week 5. Brown had caught just one pass before that and added only two more the rest of the season, while rookie wideout Jahan Dotson emerged as the big-play threat opposite Terry McLaurin with a 35-523-7 receiving line in 12 games. Brown may find himself on the roster bubble heading into 2023, as he has 308 receiving yards through two seasons and hasn't contributed much on special teams either.

Robinson caught two of three targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 wild-card round loss to the Bengals.

Robinson got behind the Cincinnati defense for a game-tying, 41-yard touchdown in the third quarter. After coming eight yards short of his career high with 458 in the regular season, Robinson added just his second touchdown in 14 career playoff games. The former Chiefs wide receiver will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Hodgins caught eight of nine targets for 105 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 wild-card win over the Vikings.

The 24-year-old's second-half breakout carried on into the playoffs as Hodgins recorded his first career 100-yard performance at the best possible time. He also found his way into the end zone for the fifth time in his last six games, hauling in a 14-yard toss from Daniel Jones late in the first quarter to give the Giants their first lead of the day. One of those earlier TDs came against the same Eagles secondary Hodgins will be facing in the divisional round, part of the 4-38-1 line on six targets he amassed in a Week 14 loss.

Slayton caught four of eight targets for 88 yards in Sunday's 31-24 wild-card win over the Vikings.

While it wasn't an efficient performance, Slayton provided the Giants with some big plays, including a 47-yard reception late in the first quarter that helped set up New York's second TD of the game. The 26-year-old wideout emerged as one of Daniel Jones' most trusted targets after barely playing to begin the year, but Slayton faces a tough matchup in the divisional round against an Eagles secondary that held him to two catches in their first meeting during the regular season.

Higgins caught four of six targets for 37 yards and added a two-point conversion in Sunday's 24-17 wild-card round win over the Ravens.

Higgins was kept in check by the Ravens again but got free for a two-point conversion to put Cincinnati up 17-10 in the third quarter. He had the same number of targets and catches as tight end Hayden Hurst, while Ja'Marr Chase led all Bengals pass catchers with nine catches for 84 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. Higgins will look to raise his game against the Bills in the AFC divisional round.

Chase caught nine of 12 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 wild-card round win over the Ravens.

Chase was unstoppable early on, catching all six of his targets for 52 yards across Cincinnati's first two drives, the latter of which he capped with a seven-yard touchdown to take a 9-0 lead. The Ravens controlled time of possession thereafter and did a better job of containing Chase, but the star receiver's early contributions proved vital in the nail-biting win. Chase and the Bengals will travel to Buffalo in the AFC divisional round.
