Ford was not targeted during Miami's win over New England in Week 18.

Ford logged a career-high 13 appearances in 2021, but he was only targeted 17 times in that span. The soon-to-be 26-year-old turned those opportunities into 12 catches for 161 yards and two scores, and as he's now on track to hit free agency, Ford may have to search for his next depth role elsewhere.

Hollins failed to secure his only target during Sunday's season finale 33-24 win over New England.

Hollins ends the 2021 campaign with only one catch in his final four appearances and a total statline of 14 grabs (28 targets) for 223 yards and four touchdowns. The 28-year-old has emerged as a solid reserve red-zone option for Miami, but he's scheduled for free agency this offseason, and a new coaching staff may be inclined to look elsewhere.

Jones signed a reserve/future contract with the Jaguars on Monday.

Jones, an undrafted free agent out of Southern Miss, signed a practice squad contract with the Jaguars at the end of September. However, he was never elevated for a game during the 2021 campaign.

Parker secured two of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 33-24 win over the Patriots.

Parker saw his involvement on offense decline during the regular-season finale, after having drawn 13 looks from Tua Tagovailoa in Week 17. The veteran wideout ends his 2021 campaign with unimpressive numbers across 10 appearances, with 40 catches for 515 yards and two touchdowns on 73 targets. Parker has two years left on his four-year, $30.5 million contract, but with Miami having moved on from coach Brian Flores, more shakeups could be coming.

Coutee signed a reserve/future contract with the Colts on Monday.

Coutee spent the 2021 campaign on Indianapolis' practice squad and was elevated to the active roster for two games. He caught his only target for five yards in those two contests, and will compete for a roster spot in training camp if he remains with the team through the offseason.

Treadwell caught three of five targets for 25 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-11 win over the Colts.

Treadwell caught a two-yard touchdown during the first quarter to start the scoring Sunday, but he was minimally involved in the passing game the rest of the contest. It was the first time since Week 11 the 26-year-old failed to catch four passes and reach 50 receiving yards. A 2016 first-round pick by Minnesota, he was unable to gain much traction over the first five years of his career, though he finally found some success with the Jaguars in 2021 and finished with 33 receptions for 434 yards and one touchdown over the final nine games of the campaign. Treadwell will enter 2022 as an unrestricted free agent and should receive a bit more interest on the open market compared to past years.

Sherfield caught his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Rams.

Sherfield was limited to just 10 offensive snaps (14 percent), which was in line with how he was being used all season. The 25-year-old only had one game (Week 13 vs. SEA) where he received more than 50 percent of the offensive snaps. Sherfield showed some promise in the preseason, building a rapport with rookie quarterback, Trey Lance, so there is a chance the 49ers elect to re-sign the unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Coach Matt Rhule said Monday that he believes Marshall (foot) is dealing with a short-term injury, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Marshall was placed on injured reserve with a foot injury for the regular-season finale, but he's expected to be ready to participate in OTAs this spring. Once the 21-year-old returns to full health, he'll work on carving out a larger role after he caught just 17 of 30 targets for 138 yards during his rookie season.

Coach Andy Reid said Monday that the team expects Hill (heel) to be ready for Sunday's wild-card matchup against Pittsburgh, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Hill dealt with heel soreness during Saturday's 28-24 win over the Broncos, but his limited role may have been precautionary. The Chiefs will monitor his status during practice ahead of the playoffs, but it appears as though the 27-year-old is on track to play Sunday.

Bourne logged 36 of a possible 62 snaps on offense in Sunday's 33-24 loss to the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

In the process, Bourne carried once for eight yards and caught three of his four targets for 24 yards, bringing his final regular-season receiving line to 55-800-5 on 70 targets, to go along with 12 carries for 125 yards in 17 games. In the Patriots' playoff opener this coming Saturday, the 26-year-old will square off against a Buffalo defense that surrendered a league-low average of 163 passing yards per game during the 2021 campaign.
