London recorded five receptions on eight targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Cardinals.

London finished tied for the team lead with eight targets, though that was his lowest total since Week 12. Unsurprisingly, he also recorded his lowest reception and yardage total in that span. In addition to lost volume, London was also limited to working in the short areas of the field, as his longest catch went for 13 yards and three of his five receptions went for single-digit gains. Despite the disappointing output, London entered the game having recorded at least 70 receiving yards in three consecutive matchups and is ending his rookie season in strong form.

Smith-Schuster secured two of three targets for 21 yards in the Chiefs' 27-24 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Smith-Schuster was a minimal part of the air attack for the second straight week following a two-game stretch during which he'd produced a 19-162-1 line on 21 targets. The veteran wideout's downturn can easily turn around any given week considering Patrick Mahomes is his quarterback, so Smith-Schuster could play a significant role in a Week 18 road matchup against the Raiders in which KC will still be fighting for the top seed in the AFC.

McLaurin recorded two receptions on five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns. He added one rush for 12 yards.

McLaurin tied for third on the team in targets and has now been targeted six or fewer times in four of his last five games. He has been able to mask that lack of volume with long gains and touchdowns in past weeks, though that wasn't the case against the Browns. He managed one highlight-worthy play, a 23-yard reception that came early in the fourth quarter. Even so, his yardage total was his lowest since Week 4.

Lockett, who had exited Sunday's game against the Jets with a leg injury, was subsequently able to return to the contest, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

After having gone to the locker room near the end of the first half, Lockett re-entered the game for the first play of the fourth quarter, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. Prior to his exit from the contest, the wideout had caught both of his targets for 15 yards.

Lockett sustained a leg injury during Sunday's game against the Jets.

Lockett went to the locker room near the end of the first half and wasn't on the sideline after the break before the Seahawks revealed the reason for his absence. He was back in action Sunday following a one-game absence due to surgery to repair a broken left index finger, but that issue didn't force him to exit Week 17. If Lockett is unable to return, he'll finish with two catches (on two targets) for 15 yards.

Jeudy caught seven of eight targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.

Jeudy's underwhelming performance came on a day when he led the team in targets while the Broncos traded blows with the Chiefs. The veteran's 38 yards were his lowest in his past five games, as he has been one of the lone bright spots for Denver's offense in recent weeks. The growing chemistry between Jeudy and Russell Wilson may not have rendered much in the way of fantasy production Sunday, but the 23-year-old wideout will look to finish the year on a strong note when the Broncos host the Chargers in Week 18.

Sutton caught four of six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.

Sutton had yet another underwhelming fantasy day even as the Broncos kept pace with the Chiefs on Sunday. His six targets were the second most of any Denver receiver behind Jerry Jeudy The wideout failed to find the end zone in the contest, and he only has one touchdown on the season that he scored in Week 4 against Las Vegas. Needless to say, the 2022 season will be one to forget for the 27-year-old. Sutton and the rest of the offense have a lot to work on to try and meet the expectations set forth ahead of this season as they look toward the 2023 campaign. Before that, the veteran will have the opportunity for a bounce-back performance when the Broncos host the Chargers in Week 18.

Moore caught three passes for 21 yards on five targets against Jacksonville on Sunday.

Moore had some success in Weeks 13-16 when the Texans gave him more reps outside as opposed to the slot, but the inside/underneath game has never been a productive part of Moore's repertoire. If he continues to play the majority of snaps in the interior of the offense, then he might be hard-pressed to bounce back against Indianapolis in Week 18.

Hodgins recorded four catches on five targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' Week 17 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Hodgins' volume was modest, though he did tie for second on the team in receiving yards and finished second with four catches and five targets. However, the wideout once again got into the end zone, connecting with quarterback Daniel Jones for a six-yard score in the second quarter. The touchdown was Hodgins' fourth in his past five games, and he has caught at least four passes each week during that stretch. That gives him a decent floor from a fantasy perspective, though it's uncertain how New York will deploy its players Week 18 against Philadelphia. The Giants clinched a playoff berth with the win over the Colts and have nothing to gain with a victory next Sunday.

Cooks caught four passes for 39 yards on seven targets against Jacksonville on Sunday.

Cooks remains one of the league's better receivers in real life, but his fantasy impact is dulled by Houston's consistently poor quarterback play. The Texans attempted 44 passes Sunday but produced just 193 yards, and it's not easy for any receiver to thrive in circumstances like those. Cooks and the Texans meet Indianapolis in Week 18.
