  • Greg Dortch WR | BUF

    Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Does little with 10 targets

    Dortch recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Falcons.

    Coming off a career-high 10-catch performance in Week 16, Dortch tied for the team lead in targets. However, he was unable to convert that opportunity into any type of production as his longest reception went for just 11 yards. So long as DeAndre Hopkins (knee) remains sidelined, Dortch should continue to see expanded opportunity, though the overall state of the Arizona offense could hold back his numbers.

  • Browns' Donovan Peoples-Jones: Makes most of one reception

    Peoples-Jones recorded one reception on three targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Commanders.

    The Browns had a run-oriented offensive game plan, as Deshaun Watson attempted only 18 passes. Peoples-Jones had little opportunity as a result, but he managed to catch a 13-yard touchdown late in the third quarter after failing to haul in his first two targets of the contest. He now has two touchdowns in his last three games and three total for the season.

  • Ravens' Andy Isabella: Injures thigh Sunday

    Isabella suffered a thigh injury during Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Prior to his exit in the third quarter, Isabella had one carry for one yard. The Ravens elevated him from the practice squad for Week 17 action, so he'll revert back for a second consecutive week Monday.

  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: First 100-yard game this season

    Aiyuk had nine receptions (12 targets) for 101 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for 16 yards in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Raiders.

    Aiyuk did his best Deebo Samuel (knee/ankle) impression in potentially his last game replacing his injured teammate, taking his second carry of the season for 16 yards on a designed end around. The 24-year-old also produced his first 100-yard receiving game of the season, but that's not to say that he hasn't provided consistent fantasy numbers all year long. Aiyuk will carry a healthy 74-956-8 receiving line into a favorable matchup against the Cardinals in Week 18.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Can't take advantage of volume

    Wilson caught three of 11 targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.

    He was by far Mike White's favorite option on the day, but the QB's struggles led to a brutal line in the box score for Wilson. The rookie wideout is ending his first NFL campaign with a whimper, posting a 7-48-0 line over the last two games despite 20 targets, and the Jets' unsettled quarterback situation will make him a risky fantasy play in Week 18 against the Dolphins.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Jets' Corey Davis: Three catches in loss

    Davis caught three of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.

    The Jets' entire offense struggled, and despite his weak numbers Davis wound up leading the entire WR group in yards, although tight end Tyler Conklin was the team's leading receiver overall. Davis has topped 50 yards just once in his last five games, and the team's unsettled quarterback situation will limit his upside in Week 18 against the Dolphins.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Raiders' Davante Adams: Leads NFL with 14 receiving TDs

    Adams had seven receptions (11 targets) for 153 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to San Francisco.

    Adams broke out of his recent slump by scoring his league-leading 13th and 14th receiving touchdowns against the No. 1 ranked pass defense. Las Vegas' offense looked more explosive with new quarterback Jarrett Stidham under center, which is a great sign for the star wideout moving forward. The Raiders were unable to keep their playoff hopes alive, but Adams and Stidham will look to build off of this promising showing to close out the regular season against the Chiefs next Sunday.

  • Van Jefferson WR | WAS

    Rams' Van Jefferson: Team-high receiving yardage tally

    Jefferson secured all three targets for 77 yards in the Rams' 31-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Jefferson co-led the Rams in receptions and paced the team in receiving yards during a lackluster day for the air attack overall. The third-year pro's game-long 39-yard grab was the highlight of his performance, but he recorded his other two catches -- of 16 and 22 yards -- on Los Angeles' only touchdown drive. Jefferson will aim to build on eight-game multi-reception streak in the Week 18 finale on the road versus the Seahawks.

  • Darius Slayton WR | NYG

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Held in check Week 17

    Slayton caught two of three targets for 14 yards and lost a fumble Sunday in a 38-10 win over the Colts.

    Slayton entered Week 17 having averaged 68.3 receiving yards in seven contests since New York's Week 9 bye, but he couldn't get much going against Indianapolis. His final catch and target came on the first play of the third quarter, when he hauled in a short pass but coughed up the football to the dismay of a clearly frustrated head coach Brian Daboll. The Giants nonetheless went on to win the game to clinch a playoff berth, and with nothing to gain against Philadelphia in Week 18, it remains to be seen how long (if at all) they'll deploy Slayton and their other starters.

  • Mike Williams WR | LAC

    Chargers' Mike Williams: Commands 10 targets

    Williams recorded seven receptions on 10 targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Rams.

    Williams had been reliant upon big plays while commanding limited targets in three weeks since his return from an ankle injury entering Sunday's game. However, he managed more targets than Keenan Allen in Sunday's blowout win and also managed several long gains of 26, 19 and 18 yards. While he's found the end zone only once, Williams has 353 yards combined across his last four games.
