Braxton Berrios WR | NYG
Jets' Braxton Berrios: Makes Jets history in loss
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.

Michael Gallup WR | WAS
Cowboys' Michael Gallup: Injures left knee Sunday
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.

Tyler Boyd WR | TEN
Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Stretches TD streak to three
Boyd caught four of six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Chiefs.
Boyd's five-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter gave the Bengals their first lead of the game at 31-28. The slot receiver will take a three-game touchdown streak into the regular-season finale against the Browns, as well as season totals of 67 catches for 828 yards and five touchdowns.

Tee Higgins WR | CIN
Bengals' Tee Higgins: Overshadowed by Chase in Week 17
Higgins caught three of five targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Chiefs.
After racking up 194 yards and two touchdowns last week, Higgins took a back seat to Ja'Marr Chase, who one-upped him with 266 yards and three touchdowns in this one. Quarterback Joe Burrow has thrown for 971 yards in the past two games, and Higgins should continue to play a prominent role in the high-powered Cincinnati passing attack in Week 18 against the Browns.

Rashod Bateman WR | BAL
Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Draws 10 targets
Bateman caught seven passes for 58 yards on 10 targets against the Rams on Sunday.
Bateman's 10 targets led the Ravens, ahead of Marquise Brown's eight targets. Neither wideout was able to get much going, though Bateman's box score outdid Brown's (three receptions for 28 yards). Quarterback Tyler Huntley can't strike downfield or the sidelines as well as Lamar Jackson (ankle), so in that sense, Bateman and Brown were at a disadvantage to tight end Mark Andrews. It's not clear whether Jackson might be able to play against the Steelers in Week 18.

Marquise Brown WR | PHI
Ravens' Marquise Brown: Ineffective yet again
Brown caught three passes for 28 yards on eight targets against the Rams on Sunday.
It's been a brutal month for Brown, who's seen 39 targets over his last four games yet has just 156 yards to show for it. Tyler Huntley doesn't have much downfield ability as a passer, so that's likely made it tougher to get the speedster involved. Moreover, Brown's effectiveness Sunday may have been impacted by him missing practice with an illness earlier in the week. It might be difficult for Brown to maximize his fantasy value if Lamar Jackson (ankle) sits out again in Week 18.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Chiefs' Tyreek Hill: Quiet game despite 10 targets
Hill caught six of 10 targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Bengals. He added two yards on his lone rushing attempt.
After totaling only 19 yards in his return from the reserve/COVID-19 list last week, Hill led the Chiefs in targets but didn't make much of his opportunities. He almost hauled in a deep pass just before halftime, but Bengals safety Vonn Bell knocked the ball out of Hill's hands. The speedster will look to get back on track before the playoffs with a bounce-back performance in the season finale against Denver.

Allen Robinson WR | DET
Bears' Allen Robinson: Six targets in victory
Robinson caught four passes for 35 yards in the Bears' 29-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Although Robinson was second on the team in targets and receiving yardage, this was the seventh time in 10 games that he's been held to 35 yards or fewer. With just a single touchdown on the season and no games with 70 yards, he'll be a risky fantasy option in Week 18 against the Vikings.
-
Odell Beckham Jr. WR | MIN
Rams' Odell Beckham: Late touchdown again
Beckham caught five passes for 39 yards and one touchdown on seven targets against Baltimore on Sunday.
For the second straight week, Beckham barely salvaged his fantasy day with a late touchdown, this time a game-winning catch with just about a minute left in what turned out to be a 20-19 victory for the Rams. It's a disappointing output for Beckham against a Baltimore secondary decimated by injury and represented a continuation of a trend that's seen quarterback Matthew Stafford struggle to get the ball to anyone other than Cooper Kupp consistently. Another favorable matchup awaits Beckham against the 49ers in Week 18.
-
Darnell Mooney WR | NYG
Bears' Darnell Mooney: Leads team in receiving
Mooney caught seven passes for 69 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 29-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Mooney scored his touchdown in the first quarter, but even with the Bears winning in a blowout before halftime, he continued seeing passes from Andy Dalton after intermission. As the clear lead receiver, Mooney's 13 targets were more than double the amount of any of his teammates. With at least 57 yards in each of his last three games, he'll remain an excellent floor play in Week 18 against the Vikings.
