N'Keal Harry TE | SEA
Patriots' N'Keal Harry: Sees season-high 61 snaps
Harry was on the field for a season-high 61 (of a possible 64 snaps) on offense in Sunday's 33-21 loss to the Bills, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Harry's increased snap count count was the result of Nelson Agholor (concussion) being out, but his fantasy impact was modest, as the 2019 first-rounder hauled in just two of his six targets for 15 yards. If Agholor is cleared ahead of the coming weekend, Harry's Week 17 workload would take a hit, but either way, steady volume continues to elude him, thus making Harry a low-level fantasy option.

D'Wayne Eskridge WR | MIA
Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Reels in two passes
Eskridge caught two of three targets for 10 yards and rushed once for seven yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.
The rookie second-round pick has struggled to get involved on offense this season, as he missed seven games with a concussion and has played more than 50 percent of the offensive snaps just once. He's worth holding onto in dynasty because of the draft capital used to bring him in, but Eskridge isn't dependable in redraft leagues.

Anthony Schwartz WR | MIA
Browns' Anthony Schwartz: Scores first NFL touchdown
Schwartz caught his lone target for a five-yard touchdown and ran twice for an additional 24 yards in Week 16's 24-22 loss to Green Bay on Saturday.
Schwartz was responsible for Cleveland's final score when he hauled in a dart from quarterback Baker Mayfield. It was his first red-zone target of the season and first touchdown in the NFL. The rookie was back in the lineup for a second consecutive game following a three-game absence due to a concussion, but he did not take on the role as kick returner, a spot he held for seven weeks prior to his concussion. Rashard Higgins has passed him on the depth chart at wideout, but there is a future for Schwartz in Cleveland.

Cam Sims WR | CAR
Football Team's Cam Sims: Starts, but no catches
Sims got the start and played 62 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's 56-14 loss to Dallas, but he was unable to catch a pass on three targets.
Sims caught three of four targets for 69 yards and a TD two weeks earlier in the first game against Dallas. He's since seen considerable playing time in back-to-back games, but with just one catch (for 13 yards) to show for it, he may slide back to a timeshare with the likes of Dyami Brown, DeAndre Carter and Dax Milne. There's still minimal fantasy potential for Washington pass catchers behind Terry McLaurin.

DeAndre Carter WR | CLE
Football Team's DeAndre Carter: Loses starting job
Carter played only 22 percent of snaps in Sunday's 56-14 loss to Dallas, catching one of two targets for five yards.
Carter has dropped back to being part of a rotation the past two weeks, following seven straight games in which he topped 50 percent snaps share. It'll likely be a mix of him, Adam Humphries, Cam Sims, Dyami Brown and Dax Milne splitting snaps behind No. 1 receiver Terry McLaurin over the final two weeks of the season.

Dyami Brown WR | WAS
Football Team's Dyami Brown: Catches two passes
Brown played 13 snaps in Sunday's 56-14 loss to Dallas and caught both his targets for 53 yards.
It's been a quiet rookie year for the third-round pick, even though he got plenty of playing time early on. He's been either injured or buried on the depth chart since October, but Brown finally made a big play with his 48-yard gain in the first quarter of Sunday's loss. While a starting job may not be in the cards this year, it is possible Brown gets a little more playing time over the final couple weeks of the season, perhaps stealings snaps from DeAndre Carter.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Tallies 66 yards in blowout win
Lamb had four receptions (five targets) for 66 yards and lost two yards on his lone carry in Sunday's 56-14 rout of Washington.
Amari Cooper (7-85-1) and Dalton Schultz (8-82-1) saw the bulk of the receiving action while the starters were still in the game, but Lamb still had a decent showing when factoring in that most of Dallas' offensive production came in the first half. There was plenty of garbage time in this one, so the Cowboys rested their starters for most of the second half, which could have resulted in a bigger game for the entire unit had this contest been more competitive. Lamb has continued his solid 2021 production by averaging six receptions and 66.5 yards over his last four games, but a lack of touchdowns over that span has limited his ceiling. The rising star will look for that elusive seventh trip to the end zone in a potential shootout against Arizona next Sunday.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Football Team's Terry McLaurin: Held to 40 yards in loss
McLaurin caught three of six targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 56-14 loss to Dallas.
McLaurin -- like many Washington position players -- fell victim to the one-sided affair. The 26-year-old was tied for the team lead in targets, signaling that he is still the top dog in the Football Team's wideout rotation. McLaurin's solid fantasy season has come to a screeching halt of late, as he has failed to top 51 yards or score a touchdown over the last five games. The talented receiver is clearly being limited by Washington's recent poor quarterback play, and there is no guarantee that his situation will improve ahead of next week's tilt against Philadelphia after this horrible overall performance by the offense.

Zay Jones WR | HOU
Raiders' Zay Jones: Six grabs in Sunday's win
Jones caught six of eight targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Broncos.
He was Derek Carr's favorite option on the afternoon, leading the Raiders in receptions and targets, although Foster Moreau led the team in yards and Hunter Renfrow hauled in Carr's only TD. Jones has put together a 25-222-0 line on 36 targets over the last five games, giving him some deep-league PPR value heading into a Week 17 clash with the Colts.
-
Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR
Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Finds end zone in win
Renfrow caught all three of his targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Broncos.
The three targets represented the lowest volume of the season for Renfrow, but he still put together a solid fantasy performance thanks to a 10-yard TD reception in the second quarter. The slot receiver is 51 yards shy of his first career 1,000-yard campaign and eight catches short of 100, milestones he'll look to reach in Week 17 against the Colts.
