Brown recorded two receptions for 41 yards on five targets in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Dolphins.

Brown's primary problem was a lack of volume, as the Titans jumped out to an early lead, leaving Ryan Tannehill to attempt only 18 passes. However, Brown converted less than half of his targets into catches, and he was held to 50 or fewer yards for the seventh time in 12 games on the campaign. Brown and the Titans could be in for a similar game script in Week 18 with a matchup against the Texans.

Waddle brought in three of seven targets for 47 yards in the Dolphins' 34-3 loss to the Titans on Sunday. He also returned one punt for 15 yards.

Waddle's recent run of high-volume efforts came to a halt Sunday against a feisty Titans secondary, leading to his lowest yardage total since Week 8. The rookie also saw a three-game streak of double-digit targets go by the wayside, as DeVante Parker led the way with 13 looks overall. Despite the downturn Sunday, Waddle will have a chance to hit the 100-catch mark with just one reception in Week 18 against the Patriots.

Pittman recorded six catches on six targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Raiders.

Pittman was efficient with his opportunities and recorded 7.8 yards per target. However, Carson Wentz took to the air only 27 times, which in turn led to Pittman seeing six targets or fewer for the fifth time in his last eight games. As a result, he's managed to top 70 receiving yards only three times while finding the end zone once in that span. Despite some of those negatives, Pittman topped 1,000 yards for the season with his performance, and he has also doubled his target total from his rookie campaign with one game remaining.

Shenault caught two of three targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 50-10 loss to New England.

Shenault returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list after a one-game absence and finished fourth on the team in targets, trailing Marvin Jones, Laquon Treadwell and Tavon Austin. The 2020 second-round pick will enter the final game of the season with 58 catches for 557 yards and zero touchdowns in 14 games.

Jones caught two of six targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 50-10 loss to the Patriots.

Jones tied with Laquon Treadwell for the team high in targets, though Jones finished with only two receptions and had barely half the yardage. The 31-year-old has been unable to show any kind of consistent production this season as rookie Trevor Lawrence continues to struggle at quarterback with minimal help around him. Jones enters Week 18 with 66 receptions for 744 yards and three touchdowns through 16 games.

Treadwell secured all six of his targets for 87 yards during Sunday's 50-10 loss at New England.

Treadwell continues to be the only somewhat consistent producer among Jacksonville's wideouts, and he has at least four receptions and 50 receiving yards in six straight contests. The 26-year-old is difficult to trust given the overall struggles of the offense and the lack of touchdowns, but it's been a surprisingly resurgent campaign for Treadwell with 30 receptions for a career-high 410 yards in 11 games after opening the season on the practice squad.

Evans secured four of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 28-24 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Evans put the Buccaneers' first points on the board with a four-yard scoring grab in the first quarter but had a relatively quiet afternoon otherwise. The veteran seemed to show no ill effects from the hamstring injury that cost him Week 16, and with the pending release of Antonio Brown following his actions in Sunday's game, Evans should be in for a significant workload in Week 18 against the Panthers and during the postseason.

Diggs brought in five of nine targets for 52 yards in the Bills' 29-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He was also sacked on a pass attempt.

Diggs led the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets on a day in which Josh Allen completed well under 50.0 percent of his passes and threw for just 120 yards at 4.6 yards per attempt. The 28-year-old has eclipsed 50 receiving yards in five of the last six games, but he did see a two-game touchdown streak snapped Sunday. He'll have one more chance to tune up for the postseason in Week 18 against a Jets defense that he posted a season-best 162-yard effort on back in Week 10.

Berrios caught eight of 12 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 loss to Tampa Bay. He added 12 yards and a touchdown on two rushing attempts but also lost a fumble.

Berrios opened the scoring with a one-yard rushing touchdown on a reverse, then displayed excellent balance along the sideline to score on a nine-yard catch in the second quarter and restore New York's seven-point lead. Remarkably, Berrios became the first wide receiver in Jets history to score a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown in the same game. He also led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. Berrios is making the most of his featured role in the injury-riddled Jets offense, and he'll have some fantasy appeal in the Week 18 season finale against the Bills.

Gallup won't return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a left knee injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Gallup got the Cowboys on the scoreboard just before halftime with a leaping 21-yard touchdown, but he seemed to hurt himself when he planted his left leg in the moment preceding the catch. Per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News, the team's medical staff conducted the ACL test on Gallup's left knee before he required assistance to get to the sideline and eventually the locker room. Considering he was ruled out shortly thereafter, Gallup's fate already may be known, but the nature of the injury hasn't been confirmed. Cedrick Wilson, Noah Brown and Malik Turner figure to mix into the offense more moving forward alongside starters CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper.
