  • Mecole Hardman WR | BUF

    Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Comes up empty

    Hardman was not targeted in Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Hardman did log 35 percent of the offensive snaps, an increase from less than 25 in each of the last two tilts, but it didn't turn into anything this week. The rookie is a touchdown-dependent DFS dart at this point, but he could work his way into a larger role in future seasons.

  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Panthers' D.J. Moore: Still in protocol for head injury

    Moore remains in the concussion protocol as of Tuesday, Max Henson of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Moore left Carolina's Week 16 loss at Indianapolis and eventually entered the protocol, so it's no surprise he still remains there two days later. According to Joe Person of The Athletic, Moore also wasn't spotted during the open portion of Tuesday's unofficial practice. The receiver seems to be trending in the wrong direction for an appearance Sunday against the Saints, but his activity level, if any, won't be revealed until the release of Wednesday's injury report.

  • Chiefs' Demarcus Robinson: Snares just one pass

    Robinson collected one of his two targets for 13 yards Sunday against the Bears.

    Robinson saw his second-lowest offensive snap percentage (53) of the season Sunday and has taken the field for less than 60 percent of them in four of the last five games. He has reeled in just four total passes over that span as well, leaving him well off the fantasy radar barring an injury to one of the other pass-catchers.

  • Terry McLaurin WR | WAS

    Redskins' Terry McLaurin: May have suffered injury

    McLaurin (undisclosed) wasn't present at Tuesday's unofficial practice, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    According to Standig, McLaurin was "dinged [up] late" during a Week 16 overtime loss to the Giants. Washington didn't get the ball during the extra session, so McLaurin's last play was a five-yard catch just after the two-minute warning. No injury has been mentioned in the wake of the contest, and because the team won't release a practice report until Wednesday, his health likely won't be touched on until that point.

  • Alex Erickson WR | HOU

    Bengals' Alex Erickson: Busy day

    Erickson had six catches for 55 yards on nine targets in Sunday's loss to Miami. He also had 43 yards on punt returns.

    Erickson has ended up seeing a lot of work lately as the Bengals' No. 3 receiver, and this was his second-highest target total of the year. The Bengals had to throw constantly in the second half just to force overtime, where they ultimately fell short.

  • Miles Boykin WR | CHI

    Ravens' Miles Boykin: Sees just one target again

    Boykin caught his only target for an eight-yard gain in Week 16 against the Browns.

    The rookie saw his playing time tick back up against the Browns but he still saw just one target for the second straight week. Boykin has caught more than one pass just once since Week 7 and has a total of four catches for 67 yards in those eight games. He is set to play in the regular season finale against the Steelers, where Robert Griffin will take over as the starting quarterback for the resting Lamar Jackson.

  • Willie Snead WR | MIA

    Ravens' Willie Snead: Playing time, targets wane

    Snead was held without a catch on his lone target Sunday against the Browns.

    Snead played just 41 percent of the snaps Sunday and was not involved in the passing game while Marquise Brown and Seth Roberts played the most among the Baltimore wideouts. With some key starters sitting out in Week 17, Snead could be more featured in the offense than usual. He won't have the benefit of catching passes from Lamar Jackson, however, as Robert Griffin will be getting the start while Jackson is rested for the playoffs.

  • Marquise Brown WR | PHI

    Ravens' Marquise Brown: Quiet in Week 16

    Brown caught one of two targets for six yards against the Browns.

    The rookie's up-and-down season was on the downswing Sunday as he saw minimal volume and was not impactful with it. Sunday's outing comes just one week after a strong four-catch, 45-yard performance against the Jets that also included a touchdown. Brown wasn't among the list of players John Harbaugh said would be resting for the season finale against the Steelers. That said, Brown will be catching passes from Robert Griffin and possibly even Trace McSorley as Lamar Jackson will be held out.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Packers' Allen Lazard: Busy in Week 16 win

    Lazard secured five of nine targets for 45 yards in the Packers' 23-10 win over the Vikings on Monday night.

    Lazard was a distant second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Davante Adams, but the fact he saw a career-high nine looks was certainly encouraging. The second-year wideout has enjoyed a modest but steady role in the offense since Week 6, notching multiple receptions in eight of his last nine contests and even generating the first 100-yard effort of his career in Week 13 against the Giants. Lazard will look to remain similarly productive in a favorable matchup against the porous Lions secondary in Week 17.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: No catches in home loss

    Thielen failed to catch any of his four targets and added a two-yard carry in Monday's 23-10 loss to Green Bay.

    Thielen was a non-factor, as Stefon Diggs was the only Vikings wide receiver to break double digits in receiving yards and scored the team's only touchdown. Hamstring injuries derailed a once promising campaign for Thielen, who hasn't broken 30 receiving yards in a game since Week 6. He'll have one more opportunity to build some momentum heading into the postseason when the Vikings host the Bears in Week 17.
