Johnson caught his lone target for seven yards during Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

After being a healthy scratch in the Jets' last two contests, Johnson played nine offensive snaps during Sunday's loss. In 11 games this season, the Minnesota product has caught 11 of 17 targets for 194 yards and a touchdown. He's expected to remain a minimal portion of the Jets' offensive game plan in the Week 17 matchup against the Patriots.

Shavers caught one of two targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

Shavers recorded the third-most receiving yards on the Bills during Sunday's win and has now played at least 50 percent of the team's offensive snaps in four consecutive contests. In 15 appearances this season, the San Diego State product has caught 13 of 20 targets for 209 yards and one touchdown. He's expected to remain one of Buffalo's top wideouts in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Palmer caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

Since returning from injury in the Bills' Week 15 win over the Patriots, Palmer has caught two of three targets for just 18 yards. However, he's played the third-most offensive snaps (58) among Buffalo wideouts during that span, trailing Khalil Shakir (72) and Tyrell Shavers (64). Palmer likely won't carry much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles, despite his role.

Cooks didn't catch his lone target during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

Cooks has gone without a catch in each of the Bills' last three games, despite playing 59 offensive snaps during that span. The veteran wideout has appeared in 14 games with Buffalo and New Orleans this season, catching 20 of 30 targets for 178 yards. He's expected to remain a minimal portion of the Bills' offensive game plan in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Golden rushed twice for four yards and didn't catch his lone target during Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears.

Golden has now logged just one target in two of the Packers' last three games. He played 22 offensive snaps during Saturday's loss, trailing Jayden Reed (45), Christian Watson (43), Romeo Doubs (43) and Dontayvion Wicks (30). Golden, a 2025 first-round pick from Texas, has had an underwhelming start to his NFL career, catching 27 of 38 targets for 341 yards and rushing 10 times for 49 yards across 12 contests. He likely won't carry much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Ravens, especially with the uncertainty surround Green Bay's quarterback situation stemming from both Jordan Love (concussion) and Malik Willis (shoulder) dealing with injuries.

Wicks caught both of his targets for 12 yards during Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears.

Since Wicks' stellar Week 13 performance against the Lions (6-94-2), he's caught three of four targets for just 18 yards over the Packers' last three games. The Virginia product has flashed throughout the season, appearing in 13 contests and recording 325 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 29 receptions. He's expected to remain a depth option in Green Bay's receiving corps in the Week 17 matchup against the Ravens.

Brown wasn't targeted during Sunday's 34-20 win against the Broncos.

Brown was active for a third straight game Sunday after being a healthy scratch Week 13, but he's now gone six straight contests without a reception. It would likely take multiple injuries to Jacksonville's receiving corps for the 26-year-old to reclaim a meaningful role in the passing game.

Turpin gained 13 yards on two carries and caught two of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Chargers. He added 148 yards on six kickoff returns.

The fourth-year return specialist continues to see a small but steady role in the Dallas offense. Turpin has gotten between three and five touches in each of the last five games, putting together 182 yards from scrimmage over that stretch, but his only touchdown of the season came back in Week 2.

Patrick caught his only target for 11 yards during Sunday's 34-20 win against Denver.

The 32-year-old once again served as Jacksonville's No. 4 wideout, playing 18 offensive snaps. Patrick has just one reception the past two weeks with Parker Washington back from a hip injury and isn't likely to have a significant role while Washington, Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas are healthy.

Williams was on the field for 28 of 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, and caught two of his three targets for 46 yards and a TD.

During a game in which QB Drake Maye completed 31 passes for 380 yards, marking the first 300-yard passing game of his NFL career, Williams made his mark while recording his third TD this season. Reiss notes that all three of the 2025 third-rounder's scores have been 30-plus yarders, which makes Williams the first Patriot to total that amount since Chris Hogan did so in 2016. Overall, Williams has logged a 7-189-3 receiving line on only 16 targets in 15 regular-season contests, a pace that makes him a speculative fantasy option when the Patriots face the Jets in Week 17.
