  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Eagles' Nelson Agholor: Meeting with knee specialist

    Agholor said Monday that he'll meet with a specialist in Pittsburgh this week to received more information about his lingering right knee injury, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

    Agholor's injury sidelined him for the final quarter of the Eagles' regular season along with Sunday's 17-9 wild-card loss to the Seahawks, but the wideout noted previously that he first hurt the ankle in the team's Week 6 loss to the Vikings back on Oct. 13. The 26-year-old indicated he's still dealing with swelling in the knee, so surgery could be an option if the specialist determines that extended rest alone won't remedy the swelling. Agholor, who caught 39 of 69 targets for 363 yards and three touchdowns in his 11 appearances in 2019, is set to become a free agent in March.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Raiders' Zay Jones: Lack of volume continues

    Jones caught two passes on as many targets for 21 yards in the Raiders' Week 17 loss to the Broncos.

    Jones collected just 20 receptions for 147 yards on 27 targets in his 10-game stint with the Raiders after a midseason transition from Buffalo, despite logging a bountiful 466 offensive snaps. Without much competition in the room as it stands, Jones will look to secure the No. 3 role at wide receiver behind Tyrell Williams (foot) and Hunter Renfrow again in 2020 with one year remaining on his current contract.

  • David Moore WR | CAR

    Seahawks' David Moore: Hauls in two passes

    Moore caught two of four targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 17-9 wild-card win over the Eagles.

    Moore hauled in passes of 38 and 19 yards and was targeted on another deep pass in the third quarter that Russell Wilson misfired on. The 24-year-old is known for his big-play potential, so his daily fantasy upside is respectable, although best fit for tournaments. It'll be tough in the divisional round against the Packers, though, as they've allowed just 232.6 passing yards per game this season.

  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Generates 62 yards in win

    Lockett caught four of eight targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 17-9 wild-card win over the Eagles.

    DK Metcalf stole the show with seven receptions for 160 yards and a score, but Lockett produced modest production despite not finding the end zone. Three of Lockett's four catches went for first downs, and it was his third time in four games where he mustered 50-plus yards. Lockett and the Seahawks will head to Green Bay for the divisional round and face a Packers defense that allowed 232.6 passing yards per game during the regular season.

  • Greg Ward WR | IND

    Eagles' Greg Ward: Three catches in season-ending loss

    Ward secured three of four targets for 24 yards in the Eagles' 17-9 wild-card loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Ward had been the de facto leader of the wideout group over the final three games of the regular season, securing 17 of 21 targets for 175 yards and a touchdown in the absence of Alshon Jeffery (foot) and Nelson Agholor (knee). However, Ward could do no better than third on team in receiving yardage Sunday, although the absence of Carson Wentz (concussion) from the late first quarter on very likely had a part to play in his downturn in production. On the books for just $570,000 in 2020 -- and having built some momentum with his late-season play -- Ward will head into the offseason with an eye on carving out a much bigger role next season.

  • Tre'Quan Smith WR | DET

    Saints' Tre'Quan Smith: Donut in the receiving column

    Smith failed to bring in his only target in the Saints' 26-20 overtime wild-card loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    The boom-or-bust wideout busted in a big way in Sunday's loss, drawing only one target and ending with a goose egg in the receiving column. In his second year with New Orleans, Smith scored five times, matching that total from his rookie campaign. Despite the touchdowns, Smith failed to surpass 20 yards receiving six times in the regular season, including two games in which he was held without a catch. Smith played in just 11 games in 2019, and he'll look to get healthy and take the next step forward in his third year.

  • Deonte Harty WR | BAL

    Saints' Deonte Harris: Nabs 50-yard pass in loss

    Harris brought in his lone target for 50 yards in the Saints' 26-20 overtime wild-card loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    The fleet-footed rookie recorded his longest catch on the year, hauling in a 50-yarder from Taysom Hill in Sunday's loss. He ended his first NFL season with just six receptions for 24 yards, though he played a key role on special teams, scoring a punt-return touchdown in Week 3 against Seattle.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Enormous performance versus Eagles

    Metcalf caught seven of nine targets for 160 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-9 wild-card win over the Eagles.

    Metcalf mustered up the best performance of his NFL career just at the right time. He was Russell Wilson's favorite target. His day was highlighted by a 53-yard touchdown pass where he battled defenders to get into the end zone, and he iced the game by hauling in another 36-yard toss. The Seahawks will travel to Green Bay in the divisional round next Sunday, and while the Packers' secondary is sturdier than the Eagles, it'll be tough to slow down Metcalf when he's playing like this.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | WAS

    Vikings' Stefon Diggs: Held in check by Saints

    Diggs caught two of three targets for 19 yards and carried twice for eight additional yards during Sunday's 26-20 wild-card win over the Saints.

    Diggs saw his fair share of defensive coverage and struggled to get free against a talented New Orleans secondary. He didn't draw many targets and did little with the ones he did secure, recording a long gain of 10 yards on five touches. Still, Diggs converted a couple of big third downs and helped his team pull off an improbable road upset. He'll face another tough matchup next Saturday against the 49ers, but he should be involved nonetheless.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: Contributes 129 receiving yards

    Thielen caught seven of nine targets for 129 yards during Sunday's 26-20 wild-card win over the Saints.

    Thielen averaged an impressive 18.4 yards per catch while gashing the New Orleans secondary for several big plays, including one that set up the winning touchdown in overtime. The veteran had just three catches to his name since October, so this outstanding effort was a tremendous boost to his team's cause en route to the improbable upset. Thielen will be instrumental in next week's divisional-round road matchup with the 49ers, but he'll be facing one of the better defenses in the league.
