  • DJ Chark WR | ATL

    Jaguars' D.J. Chark: Zero catches Week 17

    Chark didn't catch either of his targets in Sunday's loss to the Texans, and totaled 14 receptions for 174 yards in 11 games this season.

    Chark missed the previous five games with the quadriceps issue so it was good to see him return to the field, though he played only 12 offensive snaps. The heavier workload he had been seeing prior to the injury dissipated, with Keelan Cole remaining as the team's No. 3 wide receiver for the season finale. The rookie second-round pick overall had an uneventful debut campaign, as he failed to make much of an impact on an unproductive offense. A full offseason with the team should help the 22-year-old's development significantly, as his raw technical skills as a receiver showed when on the field. At 6-4 and 198 pounds, Chark has the physical tools to be an explosive downfield threat, but the Jaguars still need to find a solution to their quarterback situation.

  • Chris Moore WR | BAL

    Ravens' Chris Moore: Injury deemed minor

    Coach John Harbaugh said Moore suffered a bruise in Sunday's win over the Browns, but should be ready for Sunday's wild-card game against the Chargers, The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Moore caught two of three targets for 19 yards and still played 33 offensive snaps -- his highest total since Week 13 -- but he was apparently unavailable during the fourth quarter with an undisclosed bruise. The 25-year-old's status should be further updated once the Ravens resume practice later this week.

  • Roger Lewis WR | NYG

    Titans' Roger Lewis: Remains with Titans

    Lewis signed a reserve/future contract with the Titans on Monday.

    Lewis was let go by the Giants at roster cutdowns and was on Tennessee's practice squad since early October. The 25-year-old had 36 receptions for 416 yards and two touchdowns with New York in 2017, and he'll head into the offseason hoping to make a case for a chance with the Titans in training camp next summer.

  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Titans' Kalif Raymond: Signs contract with Tennessee

    Raymond signed a reserve/future contract with the Titans on Monday.

    Raymond ended the regular season on Tennessee's practice squad and will remain with the team heading into the offseason. The 24-year-old is a developmental project and will attempt to stand out as a return man.

  • Browns' Breshad Perriman: Wanted in Cleveland

    Browns general manager John Dorsey said he wants to re-sign Perriman, who is scheduled to become a free agent, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Released by Baltimore at the end of the preseason, Perriman briefly landed in Washington before eventually settling in Cleveland where he looked comfortable for the first time in his career. The 2015 first-round pick caught 16 of 25 targets for 340 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games with the Browns, making a bunch of big plays over the final five weeks of the season. Still only 25 years old, Perriman may lack the hands, toughness and route-running precision to successfully fill a high-volume role, but his raw athleticism proved useful once he settled in as a part-time deep threat. He could draw quite a bit of interest in March with the upcoming crop of free agents expected to be weak in wideout talent.

  • Patriots' Matthew Slater: Records 11 tackles in 2018

    Slater logged 11 special teams tackles in 2018.

    Though listed as a wide receiver, the 33-year-old hasn't caught a pass since the 2011 campaign. Slater earns his keep as a core special teamer, a role he's slated to reprise next season, given that he's signed through 2019.

  • Patriots' Phillip Dorsett: Hauls in TD pass in Week 17

    Dorsett hauled in all five of his targets for 34 yards and a TD in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Jets.

    With Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) inactive Sunday, Dorsett 's involvement in the Patriots' offense increased and as has been the case when given expanded opportunities, the wideout did his job capably. The 25-year-old speedster finished the 2018 season with 32 catches (on 42 targets) for 290 yards and three TDs in 16 games. His numbers were capped by the fact that there were multiple games in which he wasn't targeted, but Dorsett was able to produce when the team was shorthanded at wideout. The 2015 first-rounder is eligible to become a free agent this offseason.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: Optimism for speedy return

    Head coach Matt Nagy is optimistic that Robinson (ribs) will be able to play in Sunday's playoff game against the Eagles, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Robinson sat out Week 17's game against Minnesota due to an injury to his ribs that he sustained in Week 16 against San Francisco. With No. 2 receiver Taylor Gabriel (ribs) and No. 3 receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder) also iffy to play this week, Robinson's potential return to the field is of significant importance for Chicago. The wideout's status will be updated no later than Wednesday when the first injury report of the week will be released.

  • Packers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Leads team in receiving in finale

    Valdes-Scantling caught three passes for 43 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions.

    Valdes-Scantling led the Packers in receiving in Week 17, albeit with fellow wideouts Davante Adams (knee) and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) inactive. Valdes-Scantling finished third on the Packers with 581 receiving yards and tied for third with 38 receptions in his rookie season, better numbers than are typically expected from a fifth-round draft pick. He had an up-and-down campaign, but he also showed some upside and brings a nice size/speed combination to the table. Valdes-Scantling will have a shot to play a prominent role with the Packers again in 2019, but it remains to be seen exactly where he will slot in on the depth chart; as other than Adams remaining the team's top wideout and St. Brown and Geronimo Allison likely being part of the mix, the rest of the team's receiving corps heads into the offseason in flux.

  • David Moore WR | CAR

    Seahawks' David Moore: Vanishes over last five weeks

    Moore snagged two of four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

    Moore looked like a valuable player after hauling in five touchdowns in seven games between Week 5 and 12, but he has just four catches on 15 targets for a combined 32 yards in five contests since then. It's unclear where Moore's spark went, but the second-year pro could redeem himself with some stellar postseason play starting Saturday versus the Cowboys.
