Benson caught two of four targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 51-29 loss to the Seahawks.

Benson was one of three Lions receivers to set career highs in the receiving yardage department, but most of it was meaningless because Detroit was getting blown out before the first half ended. The East Central University product likely will move back down the depth chart if either of Josh Reynolds or Kalif Raymond is able to clear COVID-19 protocols in time for the Lions' Week 18 matchup with the Packers.

Skowronek caught two targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 20-19 win over Baltimore.

The rookie played 27 of 58 offensive snaps, which nearly matched Van Jefferson's 31, as Skowronek continues to be deployed in a supporting role in the passing attack. Still, Skowronek has just nine receptions for 115 yards for the campaign, and those numbers hardly move the fantasy needle in most formats.

Gallup underwent an MRI on Monday that confirmed he suffered a clean ACL tear in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Gallup will miss the remainder of the season as a result of his injury, but he's expected to make a full recovery. The 25-year-old appeared in eight games for the Cowboys during the 2021 campaign and secured 35 of 62 targets for 445 yards and two touchdowns. Gallup is slated to become a free agent during the offseason after spending his first four professional seasons in Dallas.

Dulin did not have a reception on one target in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Las Vegas.

Dulin had three receptions and two touchdowns in his previous three games. However, with Zach Pascal back from the COVID-19 list and the receiving corps healthy, Dulin wasn't as much of a factor, despite playing on 27 of the offense's 58 snaps. He'll likely have a similar role next week against Jacksonville.

Pascal had one reception for eight yards on two targets in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Las Vegas.

Pascal returned after missing a game while on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He played on 34 of the offense's 56 snaps, which was slightly more than Ashton Dulin's 27 snaps and represented a season low in percentage of those plays. Pascal may see more activity in the third receiver role next week against Jacksonville.

Eskridge caught one of three targets for seven yards and rushed once for 30 yards in Sunday's 51-29 win over the Lions.

Eskridge was relatively quiet all game until about two minutes left in the fourth quarter when the rookie took an end-around 30 yards and fell a half-yard short of the end zone. Still, it's disappointing that he couldn't get seriously involved until garbage time. Eskridge will look to finish his first NFL season strong Week 18 against the Cardinals.

Valdes-Scantling was targeted three times and caught one pass for three yards in Sunday's 37-10 victory over the Vikings.

Valdes-Scantling returned to action after spending Week 16 on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and he played about as many snaps as he was handling prior to his absence. However, the Packers leaned heavily on four other players and Valdes-Scantling made only a blip in the box score. Valdes-Scantling remains a boom-or-bust fantasy option, and his prospects will be tilted toward the latter in Week 18, as starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) could be limited or held out altogether with the Packers having sewn up the NFC's No. 1 seed.

Westbrook-Ikhine did not record a catch on two targets in Sunday's 34-3 win over Miami.

Westbrook-Ikhine led the Titans' wide receivers in snaps, though he was shutout from the stat sheet. In part, that was due to the Titans' heavy reliance on their rushing attack given game script, though even when Ryan Tannehill took to the air he often targeted A.J. Brown as well as his backs and tight ends. Westbrook-Ikhine has had a few productive games through 17 weeks of the season, but he has failed to find the end zone or top 40 receiving in each of his last four games.

Camp was not targeted in Sunday's 23-7 loss to San Francisco.

Camp was promoted from the practice squad for a second consecutive week and went untargeted for a second consecutive game. He opened as one of three starting wideouts and played 21 snaps.

Conley caught one of two targets for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to San Francisco.

Conley fought through knee issues during the practice week and had a limited impact in the game despite being on the field for 49 snaps. The playing time was second only to top wideout Brandin Cooks, who returned to active duty after missing one game while on the reserve/COVID-19 list and gobbled up 11 of the 18 passes aimed at wide receivers. Conley has been in Cooks' shadow all season, with two or fewer catches in 13 of 16 games played.
