  • Chase Claypool WR | BUF

    Steelers' Chase Claypool: Catches touchdown in OT win

    Claypool hauled in five of seven targets for 37 yards and a touchdown while rushing three times for 33 yards in Sunday's 16-13 OT win over the Ravens.

    Claypool caught Pittsburgh's only offensive touchdown in Sunday's overtime victory, and he led the team in rushing yards since the Steelers' game script included several end-around rushes for the second-year receiver. The 2020 second-rounder had somewhat underwhelming results while appearing in 15 games during the regular season, as he secured 59 of 105 targets for 860 yards and two touchdowns while rushing 14 times for 99 yards.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Memorable finish to rookie season

    St. Brown caught eight passes for 109 yards and one touchdown on 10 targets while running for 12 yards on one carry against Green Bay on Sunday.

    The big game rounds out what has been a highly promising second half to St. Brown's rookie season, one that ends with six straight games with double-digit targets (67 total) while accumulating 51 catches for 560 yards and five touchdowns (76.1 percent catch rate, 8.4 yards per target). He even added 61 yards and a touchdown on the ground in that span. It's asking a lot of St. Brown to expect him to maintain this elite level of production over the course of an entire season, but this has been his standard of play since his college days at USC.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Bears' Darnell Mooney: Comes up big in season finale

    Mooney caught 12 passes for 126 yards in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 81 receptions 1,054 yards and four touchdowns.

    Despite the Bears having a mostly anemic passing attack throughout the season, Mooney showed that he's on his way to becoming a star player. On four occasions, he recorded more than 120 yards, and although he had just four receiving scores, the lack of touchdowns had more to do with the lack of quality at quarterback than his talent. He'll enter the third year of his four-year rookie deal in 2022, and he could certainly be drafted as a top-30 receiver next summer.

  • N'Keal Harry TE | SEA

    Patriots' N'Keal Harry: Back in lineup Sunday

    Harry is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Harry, who was inactive in Week 17, returns to the mix Sunday, but he's off the fantasy radar for now, with Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne ahead of him on New England's wideout depth chart.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Active for Sunday's game

    Meyers (thigh) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Meyers, who practiced in a limited fashion this past week, will give it a go Sunday and should head the Patriots' Week 18 wideout corps along with Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne. Heading into the team's regular-season finale, Meyers has complied a 79-796-2 stat line on 118 targets through 16 games to date, production that makes him worthy of fantasy lineup consideration, especially in PPR formats.

  • Robbie Chosen WR | WAS

    Panthers' Robby Anderson: Suiting up Week 18

    Anderson (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    The veteran speedster thus will mark the fourth consecutive absence-free campaign of his career. Despite that accomplishment, it's been an otherwise frustrating season for Anderson while dealing with very spotty quarterback play, as he enters Sunday's finale with a pedestrian 46-469-4 receiving line, the yardage tally qualifying as a career-low figure.

  • Texans' Brandin Cooks: Exits Sunday's game

    Cooks was forced out of Sunday's game against the Titans with a knee injury.

    Prior to his exit from the contest, Cooks caught three of his four targets for 26 yards. With Chris Conley (knee) inactive, Nico Collins profiles as Houston's top wideout in Cooks' absence Sunday.

  • Packers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Picks up back injury

    Valdes-Scantling departed Sunday's game at Detroit with a back injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Prior to heading to the locker room in the second quarter, Valdes-Scantling was unable to haul in his only target from Aaron Rodgers. The Packers thus are left with Davante Adams, Allen Lazard, Equanimeous St. Brown, Juwann Winfree and Amari Rodgers at wide receiver for the rest of Week 18. Valdes-Scantling will have a week to rest and recover in advance of the team's playoff opener in the divisional round.

  • Tylan Wallace WR | CLE

    Ravens' Tylan Wallace: Dealing with thigh injury

    Wallace is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers after suffering a thigh injury.

    Wallace suffered the injury while being targeted on a fake punt in the first half of Sunday's game. He had seen an increased role on the offensive side of the ball in recent weeks, though he has only two receptions across 16 games for the season.

  • Tyler Boyd WR | TEN

    Bengals' Tyler Boyd: May not play, despite active status

    Boyd is active for Sunday's game against the Browns, but he wasn't participating in drills during pregame warmups and may only be available as an emergency depth option at receiver, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Cincinnati is already holding out three key starters on offense in Joe Burrow (knee), Joe Mixon (reserve/COVID-19 list) and Tee Higgins (healthy inactive), and Boyd and top tight end C.J. Uzomah also appear likely to have limited roles Sunday, despite being active. Since the Bengals don't have much on the line Sunday in terms of playoff position, escaping the contest without any injuries to regular starters looks like the team's top priority. Ja'Marr Chase was warming up with the Bengals' starters, but he appears likely to check out of the game as soon as he gets the 12 yards he needs to establish the franchise single-season receiving record. If Chase and Boyd are both on the sideline along with Higgins for much of the day, the Bengals would lean on Trenton Irwin, Stanley Morgan, Mike Thomas and Trent Taylor as its main options at receiver.
