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.

Lockett caught four of six passes for 120 yards in Saturday's playoff loss to the Cowboys.

Lockett flashed his big-play abilities yet again with two catches over 40 yards, including a 53-yard snag that set up a J.D. McKissic touchdown catch with less than two minutes remaining. Unfortunately, it was too late for the Seahawks, who didn't get the ball back after a failed onside kick. The fourth-year pro had a breakout season, setting career highs across all categories with 57 catches for 965 yards and 10 touchdowns. Lockett had just nine total receiving scores entering the season, so this uptick was surprising, especially considering he was targeted in the red zone just six times all year. Another major improvement was recording 17 receptions over 20 yards after never hitting double digits in the stat previously. Lockett signed a three-year, $30.75 million deal before the season began, so he'll be a major bargain if this success is replicated again.

Cooper caught seven of nine targets for 106 yards during Saturday's 24-22 win over the Seahawks.

Cooper came up big in his first playoff game with his new team, leading the way in targets, catches and receiving yards. He didn't score a touchdown of his own, but he did make crucial contributions on three different scoring drives and moved the chains on several occasions. Cooper's presence adds another dimension to the offense, allowing Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott to thrive, and he'll need to put on a similar performance next weekend whether lining up against the Saints or the Rams.

Coutee (hamstring) caught 11 of 14 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 21-7 loss to the Colts.

Coutee stepped into a featured role with DeAndre Hopkins limited by a shoulder injury, finishing with a new career high in receiving yardage. He didn't make many big gains, but a whopping target share and a six-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter helped him to a huge performance. Coutee was crippled by injuries during his rookie season, but he flashed his potential -- as well as a strong rapport with DeShaun Watson -- on several occasions. If he can remain healthy in 2019, Coutee is a breakout candidate as the top slot option for what should be a prolific offense.

Hopkins said he suffered a Grade 3 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder during Saturday's 21-7 loss to the Colts, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Hopkins' ability to play through such an injury indicates a certain level of pain tolerance. While he finished the game with five catches (on 10 targets) for 37 yards, he managed a 2-11-0 line on five looks after picking up the issue late in the first half. Hopkins will have the entire offseason to get healthy, but may be hard-pressed to fulfill his election to the Pro Bowl starting lineup on Jan. 27.

Foster finished his rookie season with 27 catches (44 targets) for 541 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games.

That's quite a feat considering Foster was undrafted and even got cut by the team in October, then had to bide his time on the practice squad for three weeks. He returned with something to prove, and quickly became the team's best deep threat and a good match for strong-armed quarterback Josh Allen. Kelvin Benjamin and Andre Holmes were given the heave-ho by the Bills before the season ended, so Foster will have a a fair chance to carry his success into next season. While he's a starter on paper now, the Bills have an insane amount of cap room and the job won't simply be handed to him. That said, he's got the speed to make game-breaking plays and proved it on a few occasions this season, finishing with an eye-popping 20.0 yards per reception.
