Brown caught one of six targets for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to the Commanders.

He and Michael Gallup posted identical awful lines as Dak Prescott completed just 37.8 percent of his passes in the regular-season finale, leading to a season-worst performance by the Dallas offense as a whole. Brown caught only one pass in each of the last three games, ceding looks to T.Y. Hilton, and that's not likely to change in Monday's wild-card clash with the Buccaneers.

Gallup caught one of six targets for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to the Commanders.

It was a shockingly bad performance from Dak Prescott and the entire Dallas offense in the regular-season finale, and the team's depth wideouts behind CeeDee Lamb were dragged down by their QB's struggles. Gallup hasn't topped four catches or 40 receiving yards since Week 12 but somewhat salvaged his fantasy value with three TDs over the last six games, making him a risky option in Monday's wild-card clash with the Buccaneers.

Treadwell wasn't targeted and played just five offensive snaps in the 19-16 overtime win versus the Rams on Sunday.

Treadwell combined for 101 offensive snaps and nine targets through the previous two weeks, but he spent most of his time on the bench in the must-win divisional matchup while Cade Johnson and rookie Dareke Young split the No. 3 duties. It's unclear how the snaps will be split in the wild-card game versus the 49ers on Saturday. Treadwell could be back in the mix, but it looks like head coach Pete Carroll favors Johnson and Young for now.

Johnson caught both of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win versus the Rams.

This was Johnson's third game of the season, and he managed to work as the No. 3 receiver behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, logging a 41 percent snap share and hauling in his first passes of the year. It's unclear if he'll be used the same way during the playoffs, but Marquise Goodwin (shoulder) will miss at least two more games. Thus, the No. 3 role remains up for grabs heading into Saturday's matchup versus the 49ers.

Young caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over the Rams.

Young ranked fourth among the team's wide receivers with a 24 percent snap share, and he caught his first two NFL passes in the process. The seventh-round rookie is a standout athlete that will remain active because of his role on special teams, but his offensive duties will fluctuate based on the game plan during the playoffs.

Bolden (undisclosed) is working out with the Chiefs on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network

Bolden was waived by the Ravens in October after he suffered an undisclosed injury in August, but he now appears to be fully healthy as the postseason gets underway next weekend. If he strikes a deal with Kansas City, he'll provide the Chiefs with an additional depth option at wide receiver for the playoffs, likely joining their practice squad. Bolden has yet to make his NFL debut after going undrafted in 2021 following a collegiate career at Alabama.

Williams is scheduled to undergo further evaluation Monday after exiting Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Broncos with an injury to the left side of his lower back, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Even though the Chargers were locked in as the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs prior to kickoff, head coach Brandon Staley chose to have most of the team's key starters play in the regular-season finale in an effort to stay sharp for the wild-card round. The decision came at the cost of Williams sustaining the back injury in the second quarter, with the wideout requiring assistance to get off the field before being carted to the locker room. Fortunately for Williams and the Chargers, initial X-rays returned negative, and the early expectation is that the 28-year-old will be available for Saturday's wild-card game in Jacksonville. Monday's evaluation should shed further light on Williams' condition, and even if he ultimately gets the green light to play this weekend, his practice reps could be managed while he nurses the injury. Williams finished the regular season with 63 catches for 895 yards and four touchdowns on 93 targets over 13 appearances.

Peoples-Jones caught two of four targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 18.

The 42 receiving yards were the most in four weeks for Peoples-Jones, who experienced a slight drop-off when a rusty Deshaun Watson took over as quarterback. Nevertheless, he established himself as a legitimate NFL receiver in 2022, his most productive of his three NFL seasons. He led the team's outside wideouts in catch percentage (63.5 percent), although his yards per target dropped to 8.7. He's positioned to be the club's No. 2 wide receiver behind Amari Cooper in 2023, when the Browns expect to have an improved Watson slinging the ball.

Raymond caught four of six targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over Green Bay.

Raymond finished as the Lions' leading receiver in a game during which No. 1 wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (6-49-0) struggled to break free against the Packers' elite secondary. The veteran wideout carved out a nice role with Detroit this season, finishing with 51 receptions and 682 receiving yards, both of which set new high-water marks for his career. However, with Jameson Williams set to see an expanded role, it is uncertain if Raymond will have the opportunity to build upon this season during the second-year of his two-year deal with Detroit.

Lazard had four receptions (six targets) for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Detroit. He rushed twice for no gain.

Lazard finished the season on a high note, scoring his first touchdown since Week 9. The veteran wideout took a back seat to rookie Christian Watson in the second half of the season, but he still set new career highs in receptions (64) and yards (829) while scoring seven touchdowns. Lazard will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, providing solid hands and excellent run blocking for teams interested in acquiring him.
