Williams rushed once for 40 yards during Sunday's 41-10 win over Chicago.

Williams broke loose for a long rushing gain but otherwise remained a fringe contributor to the Lions offense. Don't count on the promising rookie for fantasy production when Detroit travels to Green Bay in Week 18.

Godwin secured all nine targets for 120 yards and recorded a two-point conversion catch in the Buccaneers' 30-24 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Were it not for the exploits of position mate Mike Evans, Godwin's performance would have been the talk of the afternoon for the Buccaneers. The trusted target checked in second across the stat sheet to Evans, and his two-point grab after Evans' third touchdown reception gave Tampa Bay a key three-point lead at the time. Godwin has at least eight catches in five of the last six games, while his yardage total was his highest of the season and leaves him just 32 yards short of the third 1,000-yard campaign of his career going into a Week 18 road matchup against the Falcons.

James caught all seven of his targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' Week 17 win over Indianapolis.

For the fourth straight week, James led the Giants in receiving yards, and he also paced the team in both targets and catches. The wideout accounted for New York's first touchdown in the big victory when he connected with quarterback Daniel Jones for a six-yard score in the second quarter. James has emerged as the team's most productive wideout late in the campaign, totaling 26 catches for 269 yards and two touchdowns over the past four weeks. The Giants face Philadelphia in Week 18, but it remains to be seen how much they'll play their starters in that contest with a playoff berth clinched and nothing to gain with a victory.

Raymond caught three of three targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 41-10 win over the Bears.

Raymond found the most success through the air among Lions depth receivers, but his low-volume role continues to prove much more valuable in real life than fantasy. Raymond will be back on the field in a Week 18 matchup with the Packers.

Jones caught three passes for 24 yards on five targets against Houston on Sunday.

It was Marvin Jones who saw the most opportunity Sunday (six catches on seven targets), but given that it was a 31-3 blowout in a meaningless contest, it's difficult to make any grand conclusions based on the game's numbers. Zay will likely be counted on for more when the Jaguars attempt to take down Tennessee for the AFC South title in Week 18.

Moore brought in six of 10 targets for 117 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 30-24 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Moore paced the Panthers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon while recording a touchdown for his third straight game. The fourth-year pro's 24-yard scoring grab midway through the second quarter gave Carolina a 14-0 lead at the time and pushed his career-high tally to seven, while the 100-yard effort was his fourth of the campaign. Moore's late-season rapport with Sam Darnold is certainly encouraging, and he'll aim to put a strong cap to the season in Week 18 against the Saints on the road.

Cooper recorded three receptions on four targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Commanders.

The Browns ran a very conservative offense, as Deshaun Watson attempted only 18 passes. As a result, Cooper was able to lead the team with only four targets, and he also made the most of his opportunity by turning in two long touchdowns of 46 and 33 yards. The effort marked both his first trips to the end zone and 100-yard performance since Week 11.

Kirk caught two passes for 21 yards on three targets against Houston on Sunday.

Kirk might have seen more activity in a more competitive game, but it was still disappointing that he drew only three of 21 targets in this setting. It's possible that the Texans made it a point to scheme against Kirk and tight end Evan Engram, leaving the normally quiet Marvin Jones open for six catches on seven targets, but the Jaguars need Kirk rather than Jones to step up if they're going to beat the Titans for the AFC South title in Week 18.

Chark caught two of four targets for 56 yards during Sunday's 41-10 win over the Bears.

Chark logged a pair of 28-yard gains but wasn't needed to do much else -- outside of throwing an impressive block to help spring Jameson Williams for a 40-yard rushing gain -- on a day Detroit had its way on the ground. Against a Bears defense that ranked among the worst in the league in many passing categories, this output was surely a disappointment to anyone counting on Chark for production. Look for the entire Lions passing game to rebound in a crucial regular-season finale in Green Bay to book a trip to the playoffs.

Meyers suggested following Sunday's 23-21 win over the Dolphins that he's "fine" after aggravating his shoulder injury during the contest, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Prior to his exit from Sunday's tilt, Meyers managed to catch six of his nine targets for 48 yards and a TD. While the wideout's post-game comments would seem to indicate that he plans to play next weekend against the Bills, we'd still expect Meyers' name to appear on the Patriots' Week 18 injury report.
