Robinson caught two passes for 22 yards in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 38 receptions for 410 yards and one touchdown in 13 games.

Despite playing in bad situations that often included poor quarterback play throughout his career, Robinson had, by far, the worst season of his career. On just one occasion did he post more than four receptions in a game, and he failed to reach 70 yards in any contest. It's impossible to know if his play simply dropped off, or if his situation on the Bears was too much to overcome. Look for him to be a polarizing player in 2022 fantasy drafts. After playing the year on the franchise tag, he'll enter his age-29 season as an unrestricted free agent.

Moore caught 7 of 10 targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Buccaneers. He also rushed once for 13 yards.

Moore showed off his leaping ability on a couple of his grabs, hurdling a defender early before making a jumping catch over the middle later on. The wideout posted his highest reception tally since Week 4, and Moore also turned in his best yardage output since Week 12. Despite spotty quarterback play for most of the campaign and the loss of his offensive coordinator midway through as well, Moore still topped 1,000 receiving yards for the third straight season. With 2022 being the last year under his rookie contract, Moore will look to cash in with a lucrative extension this offseason before likely returning to the Panthers as their top receiving option next term.

Slayton brought in two of three targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 22-7 loss to Washington on Sunday.

Slayton returned from a shoulder injury and was at least able to record his first touchdown grab since Week 2 -- small consolation for an utterly forgettable season for the third-year speedster. Slayton scuffled with both injury and poor quarterback play to post an ugly 26-339-2 line across 13 games, a significant downturn after a solid first pair of pro seasons. Slayton will hope the return to health of Daniel Jones (IR-neck) and a potential new coaching staff will help lead to a much more productive offensive environment in 2022.

Jones recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-11 win over the Colts.

Jones continued his recent trend of alternating between strong performances and duds. He landed on the positive side of that variance Sunday to top 70 receiving yards for the third time in his last five games. Jones' performance was highlighted by four receptions that went for double-digit gains while also finding the end zone for the fourth time this season -- and the first time since Week 6 -- on a three-yard catch late in the third quarter. Even while playing in an inept offense, Jones managed to top 60 receptions and 700 receiving yards for the third consecutive campaign.

Brown brought in three of seven targets for 27 yards in the Ravens' 16-13 overtime loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Brown was a distant second to Mark Andrews in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon to close out the campaign rather quietly. The third-year speedster did manage to get over 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career with Sunday's production, finishing at 1,008 alongside 91 receptions over 16 games. Brown's campaign closed with back-to-back three-reception efforts, but considering he played with Tyler Huntley and not Lamar Jackson (ankle) in those contests, the downturn is largely explainable.

Peoples-Jones brought in three of four targets for 38 yards in the Browns' 21-16 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by Cleveland and returned four punts for 20 yards.

The promising speedster checked in second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Jarvis Landry to finish off the season in relatively quiet fashion. Peoples-Jones did take a step forward in his development in 2021, however, finishing with a 34-597-3 line across 13 games. With Odell Beckham in Los Angeles and Landry a 29-year-old possession receiver, the opportunity appears to be there for Peoples-Jones to step up and assert himself as a consistent downfield threat next season.

Brown recorded four receptions on six targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Texans.

Brown recorded a 14-yard touchdown -- with most of the yardage coming after the catch -- just before halftime to find the end zone for the fifth time this season. He also posted lengthy receptions of 24 and 16 yards to account for the majority of his production on the day. Brown had a disappointing season that was interrupted by chest and hamstring injuries, though he'll now head into the postseason having scored in two of his final three contests.

Pittman recorded six receptions on seven targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Jaguars.

Pittman was shockingly not targeted in the first half of the game, though Carson Wentz took to the air only seven times. However, he came to life on the Colts' final offensive possession of the game, racking up four receptions for 51 yards and a touchdown to salvage his day. Despite recording under five receptions in six games, Pittman took a significant step forward in his second season as a pro by more than doubling each of his target, reception and yardage totals.

Chase brought in two of four targets for 26 yards in the Bengals' 21-16 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

The star rookie was in there for limited snaps as expected, but he did get more than the 12 yards he needed to set the rookie franchise record in that category. Chase was able to get some good work in before the postseason while working with backup quarterback Brandon Allen, and he'll now look ahead to keeping his connection with Joe Burrow (knee) as incandescently hot as it was to wrap up the regular season.

McLaurin brought in four of six targets for 93 yards in Washington's 22-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.

The speedster easily paced Washington in receptions, receiving yards and targets to finish off the season with a second straight impressive performance. McLaurin generated an 11-154 line over the last two contests, and Sunday's production vaulted him over the 1,000-yard mark (1,053) for the second consecutive season. There's no questioning McLaurin's game-breaking ability, with the spotty quarterback play he's endured thus far in his first three seasons being the only factor seemingly putting a cap on him elevating to the elite tier of receivers in both a football and fantasy sense.
