  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Logs 27 snaps in Week 17

    Agholor was on the field for 27 of a possible 60 snaps in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    For the second straight week, Agholor (who saw one target versus Miami) didn't record a catch and was out-snapped by Tyquan Thornton (56), Jakobi Meyers (49) and Kendrick Bourne (28). Heading into this coming Sunday's regular season finale against the Bills, Agholor is off the fantasy radar.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: One catch in Week 17

    Bourne was on the field for 28 of a possible 60 snaps in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Dolphins, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, en route to catching one of his two targets for 16 yards and carrying the ball once for two yards.

    After catching six of his nine targets for a season-high 100 yards and a TD in the Patriots' Week 16 loss to the Bengals, Bourne's role in the team's offense took a hit versus Miami, with Jakobi Meyers (nine targets) and Tyquan Thornton (seven targets) working as Mac Jones' top wideout targets in the contest. Looking ahead the New England's regular-season finale this Sunday against the Bills, Bourne profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

  • Marvin Jones WR | DET

    Jaguars' Marvin Jones: Leads receiving corps Sunday

    Jones caught six of seven targets for 61 yards during Sunday's 31-3 win over the Texans.

    The 32-year-old was Jacksonville's only pass catcher with any notable production in Sunday's blowout, as Trevor Lawrence attempted just 21 passes for 152 yards. It was the first time since Week 9 that Jones had more than three receptions or 40 receiving yards.

  • Dolphins' Trent Sherfield: Targeted six times in loss

    Sherfield secured two of six targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Patriots.

    Sherfield tied his single-game target count this season with a combination of Teddy Bridgewater (finger) and Skylar Thompson under center Sunday. While he wasn't efficient with increased volume, Sherfield could be a sneaky fantasy option for Week 18's regular-season finale against the Jets dependent on the health of Miami's quarterback position; if Thompson is back under center, a similar gameplan could be deployed.

  • Falcons' Olamide Zaccheaus: Zero targets in narrow win

    Zaccheaus wasn't targeted during Sunday's 20-19 victory versus Arizona.

    Zaccheaus played the second-most snaps among Atlanta's wideouts, but he didn't record a target. Desmond Ridder may have led a game-winning drive, but the Falcons' passing attack remains lackluster at best. Zaccheaus caught 32 of 44 targets for 478 yards and two scores across 13 games with Marcus Mariota as the starter, but the wideout has secured just four of 10 targets for 18 yards over three games with Ridder at the helm.

  • Amari Rodgers WR | IND

    Texans' Amari Rodgers: Remains in rotation

    Rodgers caught both of his targets for 12 yards and ran once for four yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Jaguars.

    Rodgers has been given a fresh start in Houston after the Packers released the 2021 third-round draft pick in November. He's made a couple of big catches for the Texans -- a 28-yard touchdown reception in the near-upset of Dallas and 37-yarder on the go-ahead drive in Week 16's win over Tennessee. Rodgers has nine catches on 13 targets for 132 yards (14.7 YPC) over the last four games.

  • Falcons' KhaDarel Hodge: Minimal role in passing attack

    Hodge reeled in his lone target for five yards during Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Cardinals.

    Hodge played the fourth-most snaps among Atlanta's wide receivers, but after securing a five-yard catch on the Falcons' opening offensive drive, the fifth-year wideout wasn't targeted again. The reception marked Hodge's first since Week 11, so it's safe to presume he won't offer much fantasy production during Sunday's regular-season finale against Tampa Bay. Across 16 appearances, Hodge has totaled 13 receptions on 20 targets for 202 yards and one touchdown.

  • Texans' Phillip Dorsett: Season-high targets in loss

    Dorsett caught three of a season-high six targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Jacksonville in Week 17.

    Dorsett, who played 39 snaps, has benefitted from Nico Collins' season-ending foot injury and racked up 16 targets over the last five weeks while averaging 44 snaps. His playing time dipped the last two weeks with Brandin Cooks' return from a calf injury, but Dorsett remains involved in a weak passing attack.

  • Damiere Byrd WR | BUF

    Falcons' Damiere Byrd: Catches one of two targets

    Byrd caught one of two targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Cardinals.

    Byrd played the third-most snaps among Atlanta's wideouts, but he didn't garner his first target until the second half, when he recorded a 12-yard reception on a second-down play in the third quarter. With Desmond Ridder at the helm, Byrd has caught just two of five targets for 27 yards. The veteran wideout secured nine of 14 targets for 229 yards and two touchdown from Week 7 through Week 11, but aside from that five-game stretch, Byrd has been irrelevant in most fantasy leagues.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Four catches in return

    Olave tallied four receptions on five targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 20-10 victory versus Philadelphia.

    Olave played 61 percent of the Saints' offensive snaps in his first game back from a hamstring injury. The rookie first-rounder didn't appear limited by this issue while catching all three of his targets for 31 yards on New Orleans' opening drive, but his opportunities dwindled as the Saints' offense shifted to a ball-control game script during the second half. Olave finished third on the team in targets behind tight end Juwan Johnson's seven and fellow rookie wideout Rashid Shaheed's six. Olave has topped more than six targets just once since Week 9, a stretch during which Andy Dalton has attempted fewer than 30 passes in every game.
