Williams hauled in five of six targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Broncos. He also lost 11 yards on his lone rushing attempt.

WIlliams found himself open in the middle of the end zone for a three-yard score to give his team a 14-3 lead in the third quarter. The Clemson product closed out the regular season with two of his three biggest games of the year in terms of receptions, producing five and seven-catch efforts with three touchdowns over his final three contests. Unfortunately for him, he sandwiched those games with a one-catch dud against the Ravens in Week 16, and now he must face them again on the road in the first round of the playoffs.

Cooks caught five of nine targets for 62 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 48-32 win against the 49ers.

Cooks was without a touchdown reception since Week 9 against New Orleans, so it was good to see him finally break out, though that's of little solace for fantasy owners. The 62 receiving yards also tied the 25-year-old's highest yardage total in the last five games. The Rams were able to secure a first-round bye with the victory and will host a divisional-round game Jan. 12 or 13.

Allen caught four of seven targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Broncos.

Allen split targets, catches and yards evenly with Mike WIlliams, but it was Williams who came down with the lone touchdown reception in the game. Allen has had an uneven season in that respect, with just one score through the first nine weeks followed by touchdowns in five straight, only to finish the regular season without finding the end zone again. The 26-year-old will now face the Ravens, who held him to five catches for 58 yards in Week 16, on the road in the first round of the playoffs.

Parker did not catch any of his three targets during Sunday's 42-17 loss to the Bills. He ends the season with 24 receptions for 309 yards and one touchdown.

Parker's fourth season in the NFL has been his statistical worst in terms of receptions and yards, and his one touchdown grab ties a career-low. Formerly a focal point of the Dolphins' offense, the former 2015 14th overall pick fell out of favor in Miami's offense and was phased out of gameplans midway through the season. All signs point towards the Dolphins parting ways with Parker this offseason, despite having previously picked up his fifth-year option. It's possible that a change in scenery will do well for the 25-year-old, but it seems very unlikely that Parker will live up to his draft capital any time soon.

Jones caught six of nine targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 42-17 win over the Dolphins.

Jones finishes his second season with 56 catches for 652 yards and seven touchdowns, more than doubling his rookie production of 27 catches for 316 yards and two touchdowns. Buffalo will surely look to improve its receiving corps this offseason, but if the Bills stand pat, Jones would enter next season as quarterback Josh Allen's top target.

Pascal (knee) is listed as active Sunday at Tennessee.

Likewise for fellow wide receivers T.Y. Hilton (ankle) and Dontrelle Inman (shoulder), providing healthy competition for targets in the must-win situation. While earning at least 50 percent of the offensive snaps the past four games, Pascal has reeled in 11 of 17 passes for 137 yards and one TD. However, in his previous matchup with the Titans in Week 11, he posted just one catch (on one target) for 11 yards.

Moore caught four of eight targets for 81 yards during Sunday's 33-14 win over the Saints.

After a few slow weeks, Moore showed off his big-play potential Sunday, skying over Marshon Lattimore in the second quarter to haul in a 38-yard pass, setting up another Carolina touchdown. Moore started and ended the season slow, but the latter can be attributed, at least in part, to Cam Newton's sore shoulder and the revolving door at quarterback that followed. So long as Newton is healthy in 2019, Moore has had some nice rookie moments from which to build.

Patrick (knee) has returned to Sunday's game against the Chargers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

Patrick briefly left the field during the second quarter of Sunday's season finale, then stormed out of halftime with a 21-yard reception. The 25-year-old returns to his role as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver.

Cole caught four of eight targets for 45 yards during Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Texans.

Though the Jaguars offense was downright ugly for much of Sunday, it was a decent finish to the season for Cole, who had been held catchless over the previous two weeks. The second-year target looked like a solid find early in the season, but he didn't top 100 yards or score after Week 2's win over the Patriots. He could definitely be in line for a value bump if Jacksonville upgrades at quarterback in the offseason.

Cooper caught five of 11 targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 36-35 win over the Giants.

Cooper led the team in targets, but his long gain went for just 11 yards as he was held under 35 yards for the third straight game. He got off to an outstanding start to his time as a Cowboy, compiling 642 yards and six touchdowns in his first six games, but that success has garnered the attention of opposing defenses. Of course, with Ezekiel Elliott resting in this one, the Giants were free to focus even more on containing Cooper, so he'll hope for more room to work in next weekend's wild-card game.
