Moore caught both his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.

The third-year pro moved into the No. 3 wideout role with Malik Turner (concussion) inactive, but the results weren't anything to write home about. For the fourth straight game, Moore failed to surpass 30 receiving yards or find paydirt, though he had a touchdown called back for offensive holding in the second half. If Turner returns for Sunday's wild-card game against the Eagles, Moore's usage will likely be limited again.

Davis hauled in four of his five targets for 44 yards in a Week 17 win over the Texans.

He finished second on the Titans in receptions, targets and yards, though he was again overshadowed by A.J. Brown. Davis came close to a bigger day but had a touchdown called back after he was ruled down at the one-yard line upon review. Overall, the third-year receiver had a hard time getting on track this season, surpassing five targets in a game on only four occasions. He's been surpassed by Brown as Ryan Tannehill's top receiver, but Davis will almost certainly be back in Tennessee in 2020 with one year still remaining on his rookie deal, plus a potential fifth-year option should the organization pick it up. For now, his focus will be on the team's first-round playoff matchup against New England.

Samuel corralled all five targets for 102 yards while rushing twice for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 win over Seattle.

Samuel made some big plays through the air, but he was able to find the end zone when he deployed a nifty spin move on a 30-yard end around in the first quarter. This was a signature game for the second-round rookie, as he flashed his ability as a wideout with his third 100-yard receiving game while also putting his versatility as a rushing threat on display. Samuel finishes his first pro season with 961 combined yards and six touchdowns over a full 16 games, surpassing receivers with more experience on the depth chart to finish second behind Emmanuel Sanders. The dynamic wideout figures to maintain that role through the playoffs, but he could elevate to the 49ers' top wide receiver option with Sanders set for unrestricted free agency this upcoming offseason.

Metcalf caught six of 12 targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.

After going catchless in Week 16's loss to the Cardinals, this was an impressive bounce-back effort for the rookie. Metcalf caught a 14-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to make it a one-possession game, and the rookie was Russell Wilson's favorite receiver on the team's final offensive drive, as Metcalf caught two of six targets for 34 yards. Metcalf's regular season ends with 58 receptions for 900 yards and seven touchdowns, and he'll look to build on the success in the playoffs. The Seahawks travel to Philadelphia for the wild-card round next Sunday.

Lockett caught six of seven targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.

The second half of Lockett's season has been bumpy, but this game can be considered a success. Lockett surpassed 50 receiving yards for just the second time since Week 9. The 27-year-old's regular season ends with 82 catches for a career-high 1,057 yards and eight touchdowns. Lockett will look to build on this effort in the wild-card round, as the Seahawks travel to Philadelphia next Sunday.

Kirk caught seven of 10 targets for 60 receiving yards during Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Rams.

While Kirk's final 2019 stat line illustrates marked improvement from the totals he established in targets (68), receptions (43) and receiving yards (590) during his rookie campaign, the 23-year-old wideout was largely a hit-or-miss commodity outside of his absurdly productive Week 10 outing against Tampa Bay. Kirk accounted for six catches, 138 yards and three touchdowns during a matchup against the Buccaneers' porous pass defense, but he otherwise averaged 5.2 catches and 47.6 yards per game with zero TDs across his other 12 appearances. Kirk proved to be a deployable, yet largely inconsistent, fantasy asset throughout the course of 2019, but he has potential to take another leap in 2020 as he continues to build rapport with Kyler Murray.

Carter hauled in six of seven targets for 65 yards in the team's Week 17 loss to the Titans.

Carter benefitted from the absence or light usage of DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller and Kenny Stills, racking up a season-best six receptions. After recording 20 catches in his second professional season, Carter incurred a lessened role in 2019, managing just 11 total receptions. With the entirety of the Texans' receiving corps set to return in 2020, Carter shouldn't be expected to see an increased workload in the near future.

Ford secured seven of nine targets for 54 yards in the Dolphins' 27-24 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Ford was working as the No. 3 wideout Sunday with Allen Hurns (ankle/neck) out of action, and the third-year receiver put his opportunity to good use. Ford's reception and target totals checked in behind only those of DeVante Parker for the Dolphins on the afternoon, and his final grab of the day, a five-yard catch with 29 seconds remaining down to the Patriots' four-yard line, set up the eventual game-winning touchdown to Mike Gesicki. The Virginia Tech product heads into the offseason with momentum, finishing the campaign with 21 receptions (29 targets) for 235 yards over his last four contests.

Dorsett brought in one of four targets for 50 yards in the Patriots' 27-24 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Dorsett's big play aside, he was a non-factor despite compiling his highest yardage total since Week 3. The speedster hadn't logged a target his previous two games and failed to come up with his pair of looks three contests ago, so Sunday's sole reception was actually a step up. However, Dorsett and the rest of the pass-catching corps will presumably have to be a lot more productive in next weekend's wild-card game against the Titans for the Patriots to have a chance to advance to the divisional round.

Brown hauled in four of his eight targets for 124 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 17 win over the Texans.

Brown recorded his fourth 100-yard receiving effort in his past six games, launching him past 1,000 yards in his rookie campaign. His impressive late-season surge was highlighted by a number of big plays, and he delivered again in Week 17 by finding the end zone on a 51-yard catch and run early in the first quarter. A key member of the Titans' playoff push, Brown is the clear leader of the team's receiving corps heading into a tough matchup against New England in the wild card round of the playoffs. Looking ahead, Brown will enter his second professional season with massive expectations, looking to build on his 52-reception and eight-touchdown inaugural campaign.
