Duvernay caught his lone target for no gain and rushed once for seven yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants. He also returned two punts for 36 yards and two kicks for 39 yards.

Duvernay took over as the primary punt returner and immediately showed promise, recording returns of 23 and 13 yards. However, the rookie third-rounder continues to stay out of the offensive game plan, as he's recorded just six receptions for 27 yards over the last six contests.

Boykin caught one of two targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants.

Boykin has failed to catch more than one pass in a game since Week 8. He's yet to surpass 38 yards in a game this year despite starting in 12 of 15 games.

Snead (ankle) caught both targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants.

Snead only played 12 snaps, which is likely tied to the ankle injury he picked up during Sunday's win, according to Aaron Kasinitz of PennLive.com. His practice status this week should provide a better indication of whether he'll play in the season finale versus Cincinnati. Dez Bryant and Devin Duvernay could both see increased reps if Snead sits out.

Hardman logged three catches for 24 yards on six targets and rushed once for 20 yards in Sunday's game versus the Falcons.

On a positive note, Hardman sported his largest offensive snap count percentage (61) since his 68 percent mark back in Week 9 when Sammy Watkins was sidelined. That was likely the result of the Chiefs being in a tight one with the Falcons, though the second-year wideout could see a bit more action next week if the staff elects to hold out or limit the work of Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce to ensure their health for the postseason with the No. 1 seed in the AFC already locked up.

Robinson reeled in both of his two targets for 29 yards and a touchdown Sunday versus the Falcons.

Robinson didn't contribute much Sunday but made his pair of looks count by reaching paydirt in what turned out to be the deciding score with just under two minutes remaining. Given that the Chiefs have locked up the No. 1 seed, it's possible some of the usual starters will receive lighter workloads next Sunday, which could open up more looks for Robinson to close out the regular season.

Harry caught one of his four targets for three yards in Monday night's 38-9 loss to the Bills.

On the heels of back-to-back one-catch efforts, Harry will look to bounce back in Week 17 versus the Jets. However, with 31 catches (on 55 targets) for 292 yards and two TDs in 13 games overall this season, the 2019 first-rounder has yet to establish himself as a viable fantasy lineup option.

Byrd caught one of his three targets for seven yards in Monday night's 38-9 loss to the Bills.

Playing time wasn't the issue for Byrd on Monday, as both he and Jakobi Meyers were on the field for all 50 of New England's snaps on offense. Rather, it was the team's struggles in the passing game (Cam Newton and Jarrett Stidham combined for 78 yards in the air) that held him back. Plus, Byrd didn't help his cause by dropping a Newton pass on an otherwise well-executed trick play near the end zone early on. Despite his steady playing time, Byrd heads into Week 17 as a hit-or-miss fantasy option, due to the ongoing inconsistencies of his team's attack.

Davis secured three of five targets for 33 yards in Buffalo's win over the Patriots on Monday.

The Bills attempted to involve Davis more than his stat line would indicate, as quarterback Josh Allen was often looking his way even on plays that didn't up with a throw to Davis or were negated by penalties. He's been mostly a touchdown-dependent deep-league play since John Brown went out with an ankle injury, and Davis' managers will be dealing with some extra variables for Week 17, as Brown could return from the reserve/COVID-19 list, plus the team only has seeding at stake with a playoff spot well in hand.

Watkins caught two of his three targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Cowboys.

After Dallas scored to go up by 13 early in the third quarter, Watkins corralled his first target of the game for a 43-yard gain to open the Eagles' next drive. Unfortunately, the rookie wouldn't see another target until Philadelphia's final possession, which came with the game out of reach. With 97 yards and a touchdown in just 40 total snaps over the last two games, Watkins may have made a case for more playing time in the season's final contest against Washington.

Ward caught two of his three targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Cowboys.

Ward has found the end zone three times over the last four weeks, but he has not produced much when he doesn't score. The 25-year-old has topped 30 yards just once over the past six games, while Quez Watkins has been more productive recently despite playing fewer snaps.
