Robinson caught 10 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 16-15 playoff loss to the Eagles.

Robinson caught mostly short passes in the first half before the Chicago coaching staff realized they had a significant mismatch by using its star receiver as a downfield weapon against an overmatched secondary. His 143 yards represented his biggest yardage total of the season and only the second time he exceeded 85 yards in his first year with the Bears. After finishing the season with 55 receptions for 754 yards and four touchdowns, he'll enter the second year of his three-year deal, and he should be the primary receiving option who could see a major uptick in production in 2019.

Snead brought in three of six targets for 50 yards in the Ravens' 23-17 wild-card loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Snead ended up co-leading the team in receptions on the afternoon alongside Kenneth Dixon, and he came just three yards short of matching the latter's team-high tally in that category. The fourth-year wideout thus put together a solid conclusion to what was a bounce-back campaign, following a forgettable 2017 in New Orleans in which he managed just eight receptions for 92 yards over 11 games. Conversely, Snead generated a 62-651-1 line for the Ravens in 2018, encouragingly posting a trio of five-catch efforts with Jackson under center during the regular season. Looking ahead to 2019, Snead will look to further his rapport with the young quarterback during what will be a contract year for the 26-year-old wideout.

Allen brought in four of six targets for 37 yards in the Chargers' 23-17 wild-card win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Allen was largely kept in check by the stingy Ravens defense throughout the afternoon, and he essentially did his damage relatively close to the line of scrimmage. As his regular-season numbers (97-1,196-6) corroborate, the veteran pass catcher remains Philip Rivers' most trusted target. Consequently, he's likely to see a larger workload during what shapes up as a slightly less intimidating matchup in next Sunday's divisional-round clash with the Patriots.

Williams brought in two of five targets for 42 yards and also caught a two-point conversion pass in the Chargers' 23-17 wild-card win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Williams ended up pacing the Chargers in receiving yardage with his modest total, and he logged the longest catch of the day for the team with a 28-yard grab in the second half. He then found himself wide-open in the left corner of the end zone on a two-point conversion play after Melvin Gordon's early fourth-quarter one-yard run. The second-year wideout finished the regular season on a strong note with three touchdowns over the last three games, as well 76- and 65-yard efforts in Weeks 15 and 17, respectively. Now having gotten a taste of some postseason success, Williams will look to take his contributions up a notch versus the Patriots in next Sunday's divisional-round matchup.

Crabtree brought in two of four targets for 38 yards and two touchdowns in the Ravens' 23-17 wild-card loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Crabtree's numbers took a notable hit once Lamar Jackson took over under center during the latter portion of the season, but he reemerged in significant fashion during the Ravens' furious fourth-quarter comeback Sunday. The veteran possession man gained some rare separation down the right sideline on a 31-yard touchdown reception with 6:31 remaining, and he then came back to secure a seven-yard scoring dart from Lamar Jackson with just under two minutes left, bringing Baltimore within six points. Although they'd ultimately fall short in their bid to overtake the Chargers, it was an encouraging finish to the season for Crabtree, who'll look to develop further chemistry with his young quarterback during the coming offseason.

Moore played 12 offensive snaps and didn't receive a target in Saturday's wild-card loss to the Cowboys.

Moore recorded his lowest offensive snap count of the season in this outing, and he tallied just four catches for 32 yards in the last six games overall. He strung together a nice stretch of performances between Weeks 5 and 12 -- scoring five times in seven games to become a popular fantasy waiver-wire pickup -- but he disappeared from Week 13 on. The bumpy ending to Moore's season shouldn't diminish his potential, as he still finished third on the team with both 445 receiving yards and 53 targets, while his five receiving touchdowns tied Doug Baldwin and Jaron Brown for second most on the team. The Seahawks will likely retain the wideout's rights when he becomes an exclusive-rights free agent in March.

Moore (shoulder) is active for Sunday's playoff game versus the Chargers.

Moore's most notable contribution is as the team's top kick returner, and he adds depth at wideout with 19 receptions for 196 yards and a touchdown. The Ravens are at full health at the position, so Moore will likely see limited opportunities again behind Michael Crabtree, John Brown and Willie Snead.

Smith did not catch either of his two targets in Saturday's 21-7 wild-card round loss to the Colts.

Smith filled in for the injured Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) and played 90 percent of the offensive snaps, but he was largely avoided after failing to come up with a catchable deep ball in the first quarter. The 2018 undrafted free agent made a couple of plays this season but was inactive most weeks, playing only when injuries hit. In an ideal world, the Texans will have Will Fuller (knee) available in 2019 and won't have to rely on someone like Smith, who is under contract through 2020.

McKenzie finished his second NFL season with 18 catches (30 targets) for 179 yards and no receiving touchdowns in eight games, seven for Buffalo following a waiver claim from Denver, where he played one game.

McKenzie's role for the Bills wasn't limited to wideout, as he was used frequently on jet sweeps, rushing 10 times for 66 yards and two scores. He also returned 14 punts for 87 yards (6.2 average) and 12 kickoff returns for 237 yards (19.8 average) in his seven games for Buffalo. The Bills are likely to rebuild their receiving corps this offseason with all kinds of cap money to spend, but after it's all said and done McKenzie has a chance to stick with the team as a fourth or fifth wideout. His versatility seems coveted by offensive coordinator Brian Daboll.

Gallup caught two of six targets for 18 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 24-22 win over the Seahawks.

Although Gallup finished second on the team in targets, he struggled to get on the same page as Dak Prescott for much of the game. The duo did connect for an 11-yard touchdown just before halftime, swinging Dallas ahead entering the second half. Gallup made an impact in his first career playoff game, but he'll likely need to produce more efficiently next week, with either the Rams or the Saints on the docket.
