Brown caught 10 of 11 targets for 151 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-38 win over the Texans.

The Titans got a scare on their opening drive when Brown appeared to injure his knee, but he quickly returned to action and wound up leading the team in catches and receiving yards. Brown's last grab of the day was arguably his most important -- after Houston had tied the game with only 18 seconds remaining, Ryan Tannehill found his favorite option on a 52-yard strike to set Tennessee up for the winning, and AFC South-clinching, field goal. Brown will now get ready for a clash with the Ravens next Sunday in the wild-card round.

Lockett hauled in 12 receptions (14 targets) for 90 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 26-23 win over the 49ers.

Lockett capped off the regular season with a bang, abusing a battered 49ers secondary that focused its remaining resources on containing DK Metcalf (three catches for 21 yards). The 28-year-old had taken a backseat to the budding superstar across from him in formations down the stretch, averaging just 46.9 yards per game with one total touchdown over his previous nine contests. Despite his monster performance in the season finale, we may see more of the second-half version of Lockett as opposed to the big production we saw early in the season prior to Metcalf's coming-out party. That being said, the veteran of Seattle's receiving corps finished the regular season with strong numbers, catching a team-record 100 receptions for 1,054 yards and 10 touchdowns over 16 games. Lockett could put up a repeat performance in next week's NFC wild-card round, as Metcalf is likely to draw the Rams' top defensive back, Jalen Ramsey, in Sunday's playoff matchup between division rivals.

Reagor (head) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's season finale against Washington.

Reagor had been working as the No. 1 wide receiver for the depleted Eagles and caught his only target for 15 yards prior to sustaining the injury. The rookie first-round pick dressed for 11 games, catching 31 passes for 396 yards and a touchdown. Reagor should play a larger role next season with a year of experience under his belt.

Wims failed to record a reception in Chicago's 35-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Wims played in 12 games, but caught just six passes for 48 yards and a touchdown on the season. After the Bears complete their playoff run, he'll enter the last year of his rookie deal, and it's likely that he'll be competing for a roster spot in training camp.

Anderson caught three of seven targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 33-7 loss to the Saints.

Anderson made a splash with his 31-yard long gain but managed just nine yards between his other two grabs. He was lost in the shuffle a bit in this one as DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel had big games, but he finishes the season with new career highs of 95 receptions and 1,096 yards to go along with three touchdowns. Anderson should maintain a large role next season -- especially if Samuel leaves in free agency -- and will look to improve upon his first campaign with the Panthers.

Jefferson reeled in four of eight targets for 50 yards during Sunday's 18-7 win against the Cardinals.

Jefferson had totaled only four receptions for 27 yards over his preceding five appearances combined entering Week 17. Cooper Kupp's presence on the reserve/COVID-19 list opened up opportunities for the second-round rookie, however, as Jefferson established a new single-game high in receiving during the regular-season finale. Los Angeles' campaign will extend into next week by virtue of a wild-card berth, but Jefferson's potential fantasy value will hinge largely on Kupp's availability for a matchup against the Seahawks.

Shenault secured six of nine targets for 68 yards and two touchdowns in the Jaguars' 28-14 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also netted minus-2 yards on his one rush.

With DJ Chark (shin) out for the finale, Shenault took advantage of the expanded opportunity to finish off his rookie season in strong fashion. The 22-year-old was on the receiving end of both of Mike Glennon's scoring throws on the day, and his solid effort Sunday put his final line at 58-600-5 across 14 games. The versatile second-round pick also added 91 rushing yards on 18 carries, and considering he dealt with subpar quarterback play for most of the campaign, his overall performance is very encouraging. Jacksonville projects to select Clemson's Trevor Lawrence with the first overall pick next April, a dynamic talent who could team with Shenault under a new head coach to help the latter take a significant step forward in Year 2.

Samuel caught seven of 11 targets for 118 yards and gained six yards on three carries during Sunday's 33-7 loss to the Saints.

Samuel led the team in targets and receptions as he set a new career high in receiving yardage. This big game caps off what has been a breakout year for Samuel, who set new high marks in receptions (77), receiving yards (851) and scrimmage yards (1,054), all while posting a stellar catch rate of 89 percent. Samuel will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason and should command a significant amount of interest from teams in need of a dynamic playmaker on offense.

Woods secured four of seven targets for 36 receiving yards during Sunday's 18-7 win against the Cardinals.

Los Angeles presented a balanced passing attack with John Wolford stepping in at quarterback for the injured Jared Goff (thumb). There were five different Rams to post three or four receptions and 29-plus receiving yards Sunday afternoon, while most of Woods' production came from a 27-yard first-quarter reception deep down the right sideline. Even with Cooper Kupp out for Week 17 because of a reserve/COVID-19 list designation, Woods endured a quiet outing in the season finale. A wild-card matchup against the Seahawks will be challenging, with either Goff or Wolford under center. Seattle has held opponents under 240 passing yards in seven of its past eight games, surrendering the NFL's sixth-lowest total receiving yards to opposing WRs during that span.

Hodge caught two of two targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over Pittsburgh.

Hodge returned to action after missing Week 16 while on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He's been an afterthought in the passing attack all season and recently lost playing time to rookie Donovan Peoples-Jones, who had three targets Sunday before leaving with a concussion in the first half. Both of Hodge's targets came after Peoples-Jones left the game. The Browns extended their season with the win and will face the Steelers in Pittsburgh next weekend in a wild-card playoff game. Pending Peoples-Jones' status, Hodge could be in line for increased snaps and targets, though the Browns have been a run-first team. If Nick Chubb and a ground gamer that totaled 192 yards and averaged 6.2 yards per carry Sunday are working, there may not be much opportunity for Hodge.
