Raymond caught four passes for 101 yards and one touchdown on five targets against Green Bay on Sunday.

Raymond's box score was mostly propelled by a 75-yard touchdown on a trick play from wideout Tom Kennedy, with the former's speed a major reason why the play succeeded. While he might see less playing time in 2022 even if he re-signs with the Lions, Raymond deserves credit for catching 48 receptions for 576 yards and four touchdowns on 71 targets (67.6 percent catch rate, 8.1 yards per target) despite dealing with shaky quarterback play. Even if he's more of a backup than a starter in 2022, Raymond arguably earned some benefit of the doubt if he ends up stepping into a starting role at some point.

Johnson secured seven of 10 targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 16-13 overtime win over Baltimore.

Johnson sustained a rib injury early in Sunday's contest, but he was able to play through the issue and led the Steelers in targets during the win. Although he had a crucial drop on third down late in overtime, the team still picked up the win to likely clinch a postseason berth. The 25-year-old led the Steelers' pass catchers while appearing in 16 of 17 games during the regular season and topped 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career. In total, he secured 107 of 169 targets for 1,161 yards and eight touchdowns while rushing five times for 53 yards.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
