DJ Moore WR | BUF
Panthers' DJ Moore: Sets new single-season yardage mark
Moore caught five of 11 targets for 101 yards during Sunday's 33-7 loss to the Saints.
Moore, who was targeted early and often with his team playing from behind, finished with his fourth 100-yard game of the season. In the process, he surpassed his career high in receiving yardage set last season and has now flirted with 1,200 yards in each of the last two campaigns. This steady production has come despite many changes to the Panthers' offense, indicating that the third-year man's skillset is an enduring one. Moore will look to take another step forward next season for what should be a potent unit if Christian McCaffrey (thigh) can turn in a full year's worth of production.

Vyncint Smith WR | IND
Jets' Vyncint Smith: Just one catch all season
Smith failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 28-14 loss to New England. He finishes the season with one catch for 13 yards.
Smith battled injuries to his abdomen and groin this season, and he never got going when healthy, failing to establish a role in New York's underwhelming receiving corps. The 24-year-old wide receiver will need to show improvement this offseason in order to avoid the chopping block in camp.

Allen Robinson WR | DET
Bears' Allen Robinson: Comes up small in defeat
Robinson caught two passes for 37 yards in the Bears' 35-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Robinson was targeted just a single time in the first half before finally posting a pair of catches late in the game, which kept him from being shut out. On the season, he caught 102 passes for 1,250 yards and six touchdowns, which was the third straight season he's posted at least 1,147 yards and six scores. After the Bears complete their playoff run, he'll be headed to unrestricted free agency.

Byron Pringle WR | WAS
Chiefs' Byron Pringle: Catches touchdown Sunday
Pringle caught four of six targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-21 loss to the Chargers.
Pringle grew in importance with teammates Tyreek Hill (hamstring), Sammy Watkins (calf) and Travis Kelce (rest) all not playing Sunday, and he opened the scoring with a three-yard touchdown in the first quarter. With four receptions in total, including a long of 31 yards, Pringle was able to put together his best performance of the campaign, but he should return to a depth role when Kansas City returns its full stable of offensive stars in the playoffs.

Marquise Brown WR | PHI
Ravens' Marquise Brown: Ends regular season with two scores
Brown recorded five receptions on eight targets for 41 yards and two touchdowns in Week 17 against the Bengals.
While it wasn't a massive stat line, Brown managed to deliver two touchdowns. That effort concluded a strong finish to the season for Brown, as he found the end zone six times in as many games. While his campaign was tumultuous due to drops and inconsistent target volume, he still took a significant step forward from his rookie campaign, increasing his targets, receptions, yards and touchdowns. Brown will have the chance to take another step forward in his third season, but for now his focus will remain on a playoff matchup against the Titans.

Demarcus Robinson WR | SF
Chiefs' Demarcus Robinson: Catches six passes
Robinson caught six of seven targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 38-21 loss to the Chargers.
Robinson tied for his team's lead in targets, but Kansas City's offense wasn't its usual high-flying unit with star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and others being rested ahead of the playoffs. Still, Robinson was able to haul in all but one pass his way, matching his season high with six receptions. Though having teammates Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce back in action for the Chiefs' playoff run should move Robinson down to his usual place in the pecking order, the veteran at least showed relatively well in an expanded role Sunday.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling WR | LAC
Packers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Mixed performance in win
Valdes-Scantling caught two of three targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-16 win over the Bears. He also rushed once for four yards.
Valdes-Scantling broke the game open with a 72-yard touchdown catch on a third down midway through the second quarter. Following halftime, the speedster again got wide open deep downfield, but Valdes-Scantling dropped what would've been a 53-yard touchdown, shifting momentum back for a stretch during the second half. Despite his inconsistency throughout the campaign, Valdes-Scantling has been a dynamic vertical threat, leading the league with nearly 21 yards per reception while scoring six times. He'll now aim to minimize his mistakes as Green Bay embarks upon the playoffs.
-
DeAndre Hopkins WR | BAL
Cardinals' DeAndre Hopkins: Held in check with Murray injury
Hopkins caught four of his 10 targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 18-7 loss to the Rams.
Hopkins still attracted a robust number of offensive looks in what turned out to be the Cardinals' 2020 finale, but a first-quarter injury to Kyler Murray (ankle) put a dent in the star receiver's output. With Murray unavailable for more than 40 minutes of game action before his fourth-quarter return, Hopkins produced his second-lowest yardage total of the 2020 campaign. Despite a down performance to close out his eighth pro season, Hopkins carries a fourth consecutive Pro Bowl nod, 115 receptions, 1,407 yards and six touchdowns out of his debut campaign with the Cardinals. He's under contract with Arizona for four more seasons, providing ample time for him and his 23-year-old signal-caller to continue strengthening chemistry.

JuJu Smith-Schuster WR | NYG
Steelers' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Records ninth touchdown
Smith-Schuster recorded six receptions on eight targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in Week 17 against the Browns.
Smith-Schuster continued to be a reliable target for the Steelers, regularly working in the short areas of the field. However, he also turned in a few big plays, highlighted by a 26-yard reception and two-yard touchdown catch. Though Smith-Schuster struggled to command consistent volume at times during the season, he ended up with 128 targets and 97 receptions to go along with nine touchdowns. He'll enter the offseason as a free agent, though for now Smith-Schuster's attention will be on the Steelers' playoff run.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Packers' Davante Adams: Sets records in victory
Adams caught all six of his targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-16 win over the Bears.
Adams didn't have a big game by his lofty standards, but he still managed to find the end zone. In doing so, he tied the Packers' franchise record with 18 touchdown receptions this season, and he also set a new team-best mark with 115 total catches. Remarkably, those totals came despite Adams missing two games due to injury. Arguably the NFL's best wide receiver, Adams will now have a week off before Green Bay hosts a divisional-round playoff game.
