Courtland Sutton WR | DEN
Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Held in check by Lions
Sutton reeled in five of 10 targets for 41 receiving yards during Sunday's 27-17 win against Detroit.
The second-year wideout from SMU has banked 10 targets in each of his past two outings after failing to exceed nine targets in any game between Weeks 1 and 14. Though Sutton has seen elevated involvement of late, his production has been down over the past three weeks with Drew Lock commanding the offense. Sutton racked up 74 yards and two touchdowns in their first mutual start Week 13 against the Chargers, but since then he has averaged just 51.3 receiving yards per game with zero scores. Prior to Lock's first start Dec. 1, Sutton had averaged 75.6 receiving yards per game with four TDs. In the regular-season finale, Sutton and the Broncos receiving corps will face an Oakland defense that conceded zero passing TDs and allowed just one Chargers player to exceed 60 receiving yards Sunday.

Mike Williams WR | LAC
Chargers' Mike Williams: Can't keep touchdown streak going
Williams caught three of his four targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Raiders.
Williams very nearly kept his two-game touchdown streak alive, but a pass interference penalty at the goal line ultimately set up a one-yard Melvin Gordon plunge to register the Chargers' first touchdown of the contest. Williams needs 88 receiving yards to post a 1,000-yard season, but after scoring 10 touchdowns in 2018, his two-touchdown output has dampened an otherwise solid year from the 2017 first-round pick.

Sterling Shepard WR | NYJ
Giants' Sterling Shepard: Scores in impactful performance
Shepard caught all six of his targets for 76 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 41-35 win over the Redskins.
Shepard displayed excellent chemistry with the returning Daniel Jones as he snared every ball that was thrown his way. He didn't make many big plays on the day, but his 23-yard touchdown in the first quarter was enough to propel him to a solid fantasy performance. Shepard, who has come alive over the last two weeks with 15 catches for 187 yards and a score, will look to finish strong next Sunday against the Eagles.

Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR
Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Tops 100 yards
Renfrow hauled in seven of nine targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 16 win over the Chargers.
Renfrow returned from a rib injury to play for the first time in three contests. He showed few signs of rust, as he caught a short slant pass over the middle and outran the Chargers defense for a 56-yard touchdown on the Raiders' fourth play from scrimmage. Though he largely worked underneath after his big play, Renfrow showed the ability to rack up targets while also gaining yards after the catch. He'll look to close his rookie campaign on a strong note in Week 17 against the Broncos.

Steven Sims WR | ARI
Redskins' Steven Sims Jr.: Scores two TDs vs. Giants
Sims caught six of 10 targets for 64 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 41-35 loss to the Giants. He also carried two times for nine yards.
Sims led the team in targets while adding receiving touchdowns in the first and third quarters. He hadn't received more than four targets in any game prior to Week 14, but he's been thrown to 28 times over the last three weeks while hauling in 15 of those targets and scoring three touchdowns. Sims is clearly carving out a prominent role in the offense and will look to finish the season off on a high note next Sunday against the Cowboys.

Keenan Allen WR | SF
Chargers' Keenan Allen: Over 70 receiving yards again
Allen converted five of his 10 targets into 71 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Raiders.
Allen very nearly had a touchdown in the third quarter, almost hitting the pylon on an 18-yard reception. Melvin Gordon pounded his way into the end zone on the very next play, one of two instances in which Allen got the team within 10 yards of the goal line but didn't score. The 27-year-old has failed to eclipse 100 receiving yards since Week 3, but it's entirely possible Allen could still surpass his lofty 2018 numbers with a positive performance against the Chiefs in Week 17.

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside WR | ATL
Eagles' J.J. Arcega-Whiteside: Off to locker room
Arcega-Whiteside was spotted jogging into the Eagles' locker room with an undisclosed injury in the second half of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Arcega-Whiteside was nursing a foot injury during the week, so perhaps his exit was related to that. He was in and out of the medical tent prior to leaving for the locker room, and Arcega-Whiteside's exit leaves the Eagles with just two healthy wide receivers.

Kalif Raymond WR | CHI
Titans' Kalif Raymond: Totals 32 yards
Raymond (head) hauled in both of his targets for 32 yards but also lost a fumble in the team's Week 16 loss to the Saints.
Raymond recorded both of his receptions after Corey Davis exited with a potential concussion. His first reception went for nine yards, setting up a seven-yard touchdown to Tajae Sharpe on the following play. Raymond also hauled in a 23-yard catch on the team's next offensive possession, but fumbled after taking a hard hit to the head that left him unconscious. It's unclear what Raymond's status for the team's Week 17 matchup against the Texans will be, though if healthy, he would likely not be any better than the team's third wideout.

Chris Conley WR | SF
Jaguars' Chris Conley: Snags big pass in loss
Conley caught two of five passes for 56 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-12 loss to Atlanta.
The Falcons controlled the tempo for much of the game, but Conley helped jumpstart a would-be comeback early in the fourth quarter, busting up the sideline for a 42-yard touchdown. It was his third touchdown in his last two games after just two scores in his first 13 contests of 2019. He'll look to keep his scoring streak alive in the finale against the Colts, against whom Conley tied a season-high with six receptions and gained 58 yards in Week 11, albeit with Nick Foles throwing the passes.
-
DJ Chark WR | ATL
Jaguars' DJ Chark Jr.: Drops crucial pass
Chark caught two of seven passes for 18 yards during Sunday's 24-12 loss to Atlanta.
The Jags fell behind early, but the game might have ended differently had Chark caught a would-be touchdown pass on fourth down with about four minutes left in the fourth quarter. It would have been a difficult catch for sure as Chark was hit from behind while trying to wrangle the pass, but it still torpedoed Jacksonville's comeback hopes. The sophomore target has run hot and cold this season, with his previous game against Week 17's opponent, Indianapolis, among his high points of the year. He went for 104 yards and two touchdowns on a career-high 15 targets in that game, albeit with veteran Nick Foles throwing passes.
