  • Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Tweaks hamstring, iffy to return

    Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Lambert-Smith appeared to sustain the injury late in the second quarter after hauling in an 18-yard pass from Trey Lance. Derius Davis would serve as the primary returner on kickoffs and see more snaps on offense if Lambert-Smith is unable to return.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Hits paydirt in Week 18 loss

    Higgins caught six of nine targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-18 loss to the Browns.

    The 26-year-old wideout set a new career high with his 11th TD reception of the season on a 13-yard connection with Joe Burrow in the second quarter. Higgins missed time once again in 2025 due to injuries, but he still posted a 59-846-11 line on 98 targets over 15 games. Ja'Marr Chase's presence caps Higgins' volume, but he remains one of the most productive No. 2 WRs in the league.

  • Dante Pettis WR | NO

    Saints' Dante Pettis: Records 60 receiving yards in loss

    Pettis brought in all five targets for 60 yards in the Saints' 19-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. He also returned two punts for 17 yards.

    Both Chris Olave (illness) and Mason Tipton (IR, groin) were unavailable Sunday, thrusting Pettis into an expanded role. The journeyman wideout/returner turned in a solid performance, tying for the team lead in receptions while falling just a yard short of doing the same in receiving yards. Pettis appeared in eight games for the Saints in 2025, generating a 9-127-0 line on 11 targets and adding 351 kickoff-return yards and 79 punt-return yards while playing out a one-year deal.

  • Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN

    Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Caps campaign with eighth TD

    Chase caught eight of 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-18 loss to the Browns.

    The superstar wideout fell just short of his eighth 100-yard performance of the season, but Chase did make his eighth trip to the end zone in 16 games with a four-yard toss from Joe Burrow in the fourth quarter. Chase wraps up 2025 with a 125-1,412-8 line on a career-high 185 targets, and his ability to continue posting elite numbers even with Burrow having missed half the year should keep him locked in as a first-round selection in 2026 fantasy drafts.

  • Jaguars' Parker Washington: Paces Jags pass catchers again

    Washington recorded five receptions on nine targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-7 win over the Titans.

    Washington remained Trevor Lawrence's top target for the third consecutive game, and he almost certainly would have commanded double-digit targets for the straight contest had Jacksonville not pulled its starters early in the fourth quarter. Washington showed rapport with Lawrence on the deep ball, recording three catches of at least 20 yards -- one of which went for a 23-yard score midway through the first quarter. He was briefly forced to the sideline late in the second quarter, though he missed only two plays and looks ready to be a big part of the Jaguars' playoff run.

  • Rams' Jordan Whittington: Won't return Sunday

    Whittington (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Whittington was taken to the locker room after injuring his right knee, and medical staff have deemed his injury severe enough for him to not return to Sunday's game. Tutu Atwell and Xavier Smith will see more snaps at wide receiver the rest of the way, but Whittington is now in jeopardy of missing the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Just two catches in Week 18 win

    Jeudy caught two of six targets for 17 yards and added five yards on his only carry in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals.

    While the veteran wideout's volume was poor, Jeudy's final catch of the game was huge -- he converted a third down with an 11-yard grab from Shedeur Sanders to help set up the game-winning field goal in the final minute of the fourth quarter. Jeudy had arguably the worst season of his NFL career in 2025, playing all 17 games but managing a poor 50-602-2 line on 106 targets as the Browns cycled through three different starting QBs. His prospects of a rebound in 2026 will depend on whether the organization can find a real solution under center this offseason.

  • Giants' Gunner Olszewski: Career-best 102 rec yards in win

    Olszewski caught eight of nine targets for 102 yards and threw an incomplete pass in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys. He also had two punt returns for 31 yards.

    Olszewski worked as the top option in the Giants' receiving corps as they played without Wan'Dale Robinson (ribs) in the season finale. The 29-year-old Olszewski hadn't exceeded two catches or 39 receiving yards in any of his previous 80 regular-season NFL games. The pending unrestricted free agent added some nice offensive film to show prospective suitors in free agency, but Olszewski's contributions are typically limited to special teams.

  • Dolphins' Malik Washington: Hurts thumb Sunday

    Washington exited Sunday's game against the Patriots with a thumb injury.

    Before his departure from the contest, Washington caught one pass for two yards and a TD and ran twice for 22 yards. Cedrick Wilson, Theo Wease, Tahj Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine are the Dolphins' available WRs in Week 18 while Washington is sidelined.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Extends 1,000-yard season streak

    Jefferson caught eight of 11 targets for 101 yards in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Packers.

    Jefferson endured a tough season due to the Vikings' issues at quarterback, but with his first 100-yard performance since Week 5, the superstar wideout was able to record his sixth straight 1,000-yard campaign to begin his career. Jefferson wraps up the season with an 84-1,048-2 line on 141 targets, the worst yardage and touchdown totals of his career. One of Minnesota's biggest priorities this offseason will be finding a way to build chemistry between J.J. McCarthy (hand) and his most talented target.
