  • Malik Turner WR | SF

    Seahawks' Malik Turner: Won't face Eagles

    Turner (concussion) is ruled out for Sunday's playoff matchup against the Eagles, Liz Matthews of USA Today reports.

    Turner will sit out Sunday's wild-card contest in Philadelphia while working his way through the league's five-step concussion protocol. As long as Turner remains sidelined, count on David Moore to serve as the No. 3 wide receiver for Seattle.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Eagles' Nelson Agholor: Won't play Sunday

    Agholor (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's playoff game against the Seahawks after not practicing this week.

    Agholor will thus miss his fifth straight game, which sets the stage for the likes of Greg Ward, Deontay Burnett, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and Robert Davis to handle the team's wide receiver duties this weekend.

  • Byron Pringle WR | WAS

    Chiefs' Byron Pringle: Posts 12 catches in 2019

    Pringle reeled in 12 of his 16 targets for 170 yards and a touchdown during the 2019 season.

    More than half of Pringle's production came in Week 5 versus the Colts, when he logged a season-high 49 offensive snaps and hauled in six passes for 104 yards and his first and only NFL touchdown to date. He remains under contract through the 2020 season, but Pringle has no money guaranteed, potentially forcing him to lay claim to his roster spot in camp again. He should have a leg up this time around with a full year on the roster under his belt.

  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Titans' Kalif Raymond: Unlikely to play Saturday

    Raymond (concussion) has been downgraded to doubtful for Saturday's playoff game against the Patriots, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.

    The 25-year-old was originally considered questionable after progressing to limited practice participation Wednesday, but it appears he won't be available this weekend. According to Turron Davenport of ESPN.com, Darius Jennings is expected to work as the kick returner while Rashard Davis returns punts in Raymond's absence.

  • Chiefs' Demarcus Robinson: Posts career-best campaign in 2019

    Robinson racked up a career-high 32 catches for 449 yards and four touchdowns during the 2019 regular season.

    Robinson's numbers were ballooned by a four-week stretch early in the season when Tyreek Hill was unavailable. After scoring three combined touchdowns in Weeks 2 and 3, Robinson didn't find pay dirt again until the regular-season finale against the Chargers. While he's technically still third on the Chiefs' depth chart, Robinson is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and the skills displayed by rookie Mecole Hardman could lead to Kansas City letting Robinson walk.

  • Darius Slayton WR | IND

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Strong rookie season

    Slayton finished his rookie season with 48 catches on 84 targets for 740 yards in 14 games, with eight touchdowns (T-9th), 15.4 YPC (12th) and 8.8 YPT (23rd.)

    It was a monster year for a fifth-round rookie, and Slayton should at least reprise his role as the team's downfield playmaker in Year 2 and could emerge as its clear No. 1 wideout.

  • Giants' Sterling Shepard: Par for the course

    Shepard caught 57 of 83 targets in 10 games this season, more or less living up to his draft-day billing on a per-game basis.

    The per-play output was somewhat disappointing, though -- only 6.9 YPT, down from 8.1 a year ago, and 10.1 yards per catch, despite playing with the more downfield oriented Daniel Jones. Moreover, Shepard's two concussions put him at greater risk to miss time in 2020 should he take another big hit. He should reprise his role as one of the team's top receivers next season, but Golden Tate and Darius Slayton will also get looks along with Kaden Smith, Evan Engram and Saquon Barkley.

  • Malik Turner WR | SF

    Seahawks' Malik Turner: Sidelined for Thursday's practice

    Turner (concussion) was listed as a non-participant for Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Turner failed to suit up in Wednesday's practice and is in serious jeopardy of missing Sunday's wild-card game against Philadelphia. If the 23-year-old were to miss the game, David Moore would likely work as the Seahawks' No. 3 wide receiver this weekend.

  • Richie James WR | KC

    49ers' Richie James: Mainly used on special teams

    James had six receptions for 160 yards and a touchdown in 2019, spending most of his time as a return man for the 49ers.

    James totaled 428 kick return yards and 264 punt return yards, giving some value in leagues that account for those statistics. Outside of that, the speedy wideout was mainly used for the occasional deep shot, resulting in minimal fantasy value at best. James is under contract for next season, and he'll likely have to re-earn his spot on the 53-man roster with Trent Taylor (foot) set to return healthy at the start of the 2020 campaign.

  • 49ers' Kendrick Bourne: Finishes season with five scores

    Bourne had 30 receptions for 358 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games this season.

    Bourne started the year as a reserve, but injuries and improved play by the wideout boosted him to third on the depth chart to finish the season. His production was mainly touchdown-dependent, which kept the 23-year-old out of the fantasy picture for the most part. Bourne will enter the 2020 season as a restricted free agent, and his play during the playoffs could influence whether the club elects to keep him around for a fourth year.
