Perriman caught none of his six targets and rushed once for six yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over Cleveland.

Perriman dropped what would have been a chunk gain down the sideline on the opening drive and failed to come down with either of his other two first-half targets. He finally got the ball in his hands on an end-around early in the third quarter but had a would-be long touchdown go through his hands later in the quarter and ended up without a reception all afternoon. With just one catch over his last two games and five catches in the past four contests, Perriman's trending in the wrong direction ahead of next week's season finale against the stingy New England secondary.

Pascal caught three of six targets for 64 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Steelers.

Pascal got off to a great start as he hauled in a 42-yard touchdown pass to help his team build a 14-point lead at halftime. He didn't do quite as much with the rest of his looks, but he still led the team in receiving yardage for the second straight game and has three touchdowns in those contests to take his total to five for the season. Pascal has emerged as a regular contributor most weeks and will look to finish the regular season on a high in next Sunday's matchup with a poor Jaguars defense.

Erickson recorded six receptions on six targets for 88 yards in Week 16 against the Texans.

Erickson took over the primary slot role with Tyler Boyd (concussion) sidelined. He did most of his work in the short areas of the field, though he did manage to work deep downfield for a 42-yard gain early in the third quarter. Should Boyd miss the team's Week 17 matchup against the Ravens, Erickson should maintain his role in the slot.

Cole brought in three of four targets for 26 yards in the Jaguars' 41-17 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Cole filled his usual complementary role, tying for third in receptions with Chris Conley behind DJ Chark and Laviska Shenault. The 27-year-old has a modest 5-48 line over the last two games after a productive seven-catch, 67-yard, one-touchdown effort in Week 14 against the Titans. Cole will look to put together a strong finish to his fourth campaign when he faces a tough Colts defense in Week 17.

Shepard caught nine of 12 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Ravens.

Shepard paced all Giants in receptions and yards while logging the team's lone receiving TD of yet another low-scoring effort. When on the field over 11 appearances this season, Shepard has attracted a workload of 7.3 targets per game. His 77 yards from Sunday represent a new season high, while the TD was Shepard's first in eight games. In Week 17, Shepard will have a chance to face off against the Cowboys for the first time this season, as he was on IR with a toe injury when the division rivals last met Oct. 11.

Shenault secured five of seven targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 41-17 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

The rookie was the team leader in catches on the afternoon and recorded his second touchdown of the last four games with an impressive 34-yard scoring grab late in the fourth quarter. While the points came in garbage time, they certainly helped to round out Shenault's fantasy line nicely, and the play also served as the longest of the day through the air for either squad. Shenault now has at least five receptions in three straight games, but he hasn't topped 50 yards since Week 5. He'll look to put an end to that dubious streak in Week 17 against the Colts.

Chark brought in four of seven targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 41-17 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Chark's touchdown reception, which came from 20 yards out on an impressive catch in the left corner of the end zone, actually pulled the Jaguars even with the Bears at 10-10 in the second quarter. While Chicago would go on to separate comfortably in the second half, Chark was able to pace Jacksonville in receiving yardage while finding the end zone for the first time since Week 9. Chark will look to follow up his solid numbers with even better production as the Jags close out a forgettable season versus the Colts on the road in Week 17.

Mooney caught four passes for 39 yards and added a two-yard rush in Chicago's 41-17 victory over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Although Mooney was second on the team with seven targets, he was unable to parlay any of his opportunities into a splash play. Although he scored in each of the last two games coming into this contest, he's failed to reach 50 yards in any of his last seven games, making him a low-upside fantasy option in Week 17 against the Packers.

Ford hauled in four of five targets for 37 yards during Saturday's 26-25 win over the Raiders.

Ford got a chance to handle 52 percent of offensive snaps with DeVante Parker (hamstring) sidelined. If Parker is unable to return Week 17 in Buffalo, Ford could get another opportunity to work as MIami's No. 3 receiver.

Coutee brought in all five targets for 54 yards in the Texans' 37-31 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also committed a fumble, but it was recovered by the offense.

Coutee checked in second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Brandin Cooks, serving as a dependable complementary option for Deshaun Watson in the high-scoring loss. The third-year speedster has been solid since Randall Cobb (IR-toe) and Will Fuller (suspension) were sidelined, posting a 21-272-2 line over his last four contests. Coutee will look to finish off the campaign in strong fashion at the expense of the Titans in a Week 17 divisional battle.
