  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Titans' Kalif Raymond: Emerges as home run threat

    Raymond recorded nine receptions for 170 yards and one touchdown across eight games for the Titans in 2019.

    Playing for his third team in the past four seasons, Raymond was a marginally used receiver in Tennessee. Though he played just 98 total snaps, he averaged 18.2 yards per reception. His campaign was highlighted by a win-clinching 40-yard touchdown reception in Week 13 against Indianapolis. Raymond will enter the final year of a two-year contract in 2020, though he'll likely battle among the Titans' other pass catchers for a roster spot next season.

  • Adam Humphries WR | HOU

    Titans' Adam Humphries: Loses volume in Tennessee

    Humphries hauled in 37 of his 47 targets for 374 yards and two touchdowns across 12 games for the Titans in the 2019 season.

    Even taking into account games lost due to injury, Humphries saw a decreased role in his first season in Tennessee. Working primarily out of the slot, Humphries was overshadowed by both Corey Davis and A.J. Brown. Given that all three receivers are likely to return to the team in 2020, it's difficult to find a scenario in which Humphries will return to his 2018 form, when he recorded 76 receptions. On the other hand, the Titans may be motivated to find a more effective role for him given the significant four-year, $36 million investment they made in him during the 2019 offseason.

  • Dante Pettis WR | SF

    49ers' Dante Pettis: Practices in full Friday

    Pettis (illness) was a full practice participant Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Pettis brushed off the illness that sidelined him Thursday, or at the very least was able to gut it out and fit in every practice rep to wrap up the first week of Super Bowl prep. Considering he hasn't seen a target since Week 10, though, he's unlikely to make a splash versus the Chiefs on Feb. 2.

  • Dante Pettis WR | SF

    49ers' Dante Pettis: Returns from illness

    Pettis (illness) returned to practice Friday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Pettis only missed one day and should be healthy with plenty of time to spare before the Super Bowl. He was technically active for the NFC Championship Game, but he didn't actually play any snaps in a 37-20 win over the Packers. Any involvement in the Super Bowl would come as a modest surprise.

  • Bengals' Trenton Irwin: Concludes 2019 without a target

    Irwin was not targeted during his sole regular-season game with the Bengals in 2019.

    Irwin's only game action came during the season finale against Cleveland, during which he recorded nine offensive snaps. He was promoted from the practice squad prior to the contest. The Stanford product will begin the offseason competing for a depth role in Cincinnati.

  • Dante Pettis WR | SF

    49ers' Dante Pettis: Under the weather

    Pettis did not practice Thursday due to an illness, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Pettis will have a week and a half to return to full health ahead of the Super Bowl on Feb. 2, so there's not yet any reason to consider his availability in jeopardy. More pressingly, the second-year wideout has not recorded a snap on offense since Week 12 of the regular season. Having tumbled down to a depth role in San Francisco's receiver corps, Pettis will be an unlikely candidate to factor into the team's plans on offense even if he's at full strength.

  • Chiefs' Demarcus Robinson: Returns to full practice

    Robinson (illness) practiced in full Thursday.

    One day removed from being held out due to an illness, Robinson was uninhibited as the Chiefs continue to prepare for the Super Bowl. He's more or less been splitting time with rookie Mecole Hardman as the team's third wide receiver, but Robinson hasn't managed two-plus catches or more than 31 yards since Week 10. Between the two, Hardman is the better bet to break out against the 49ers due to his off-the-charts peripheral stats, namely 20.7 YPC, 13.1 YPT and six TDs on 41 targets.

  • Amari Cooper WR | LV

    Cowboys' Amari Cooper: Hopes to re-sign with Cowboys

    Cooper said he wants to stay in Dallas for a long time, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.

    The 25-year-old wideout may prefer to re-sign with the Cowboys, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll accept a hometown discount. And while the franchise tag would normally give the team a backup plan for retaining a player of Cooper's caliber, the Cowboys will need to use the tag on Dak Prescott if they can't sign the quarterback to a long-term deal before the start of free agency. As such, there's still some chance Cooper ends up with a new team in 2020, though it isn't the most likely scenario.

  • Chris Moore WR | BAL

    Ravens' Chris Moore: Role bottoms out in 2019

    Moore had three catches for 21 yards on five targets in 2019.

    Moore's stock officially bottomed out in his fourth season, playing just 15.7 percent of the offensive snaps and setting career lows in targets, receptions and yardage. Baltimore's need to overhaul most of its receiving corps became obvious during its playoff loss to Tennessee, and Moore's almost non-existent 2019 does not bode well for him being re-signed by the club when he hits free agency in March. Moore has some athleticism and has shown flashes of potential in the NFL, and while that should help him land a second contract, it doesn't mean that contract will be with Baltimore.

  • Miles Boykin WR | CHI

    Ravens' Miles Boykin: Quiet rookie season

    Boykin finished his rookie season with 13 catches for 198 yards and three touchdowns on 22 targets.

    It wasn't the season many envisioned for Boykin, who was taken in the third round in the 2019 NFL Draft and, given the receiving depth chart, seemingly had a path to a major role right away. That role never truly materialized, however, as he never played more than 56 percent of the offensive snaps in any of Baltimore's regular-season games. In fairness, Baltimore's offense is unique and veterans like Seth Roberts likely got the edge on Boykin in terms of playing time thanks to things like downfield blocking ability. Boykin should have the inside track at a bigger role in Year 2 with Roberts hitting free agency this offseason, but the Notre Dame product's modest 2019 impact likely won't prevent the Ravens from looking to add at the receiver position either through free agency or the draft.
