Cobb caught one pass (on five targets), collecting 27 receiving yards during Sunday's 31-0 loss to Detroit.

Outside of a Week 1 outburst against the Bears in which he mustered 142 receiving yards and a touchdown on 10 targets, Cobb's 2018 campaign was largely underwhelming. In what was his eighth pro campaign, the veteran wideout was besieged by injuries (hamstring, concussion) as he stumbled to his lowest outputs in receptions (38), receiving yards (383) and touchdowns (two) since his rookie season. With his contract expiring over the offseason and his availability on the field having been inconsistent of late, it remains to be seen if Cobb will continue to play for the franchise that drafted him 64th overall in the 2011 Draft.

Patrick is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers due to a knee injury, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Patrick exited Sunday's season finale during the second quarter. As long as the 25-year-old remains sidelined, River Caracraft will slot in as Denver's No. 3 wideout.

Anderson caught three of eight targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Patriots. He finishes the season with 50 catches for 752 yards and six touchdowns.

Anderson capped the campaign with a dud, but the speedster had been displaying excellent chemistry with quarterback Sam Darnold with 20 catches, 312 yards and three touchdowns in the previous three weeks. Continuity is key for a young quarterback, so the Jets are expected to bring back Anderson, who's a restricted free agent. Despite some inconsistency and injury struggles, Anderson was Darnold's most dangerous weapon this year.

Hopkins caught 12 of 16 passes for 147 yards during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jaguars.

Hopkins saved the best for last this year -- ending the regular season with season highs in catches and targets all while topping 100 yards for the third consecutive week. Hopkins made multiple highlight-reel catches Sunday, including a 43-yarder over Jalen Ramsey that set up a fourth-quarter field goal. Next up is likely a matchup against the winner of Sunday night's game between Indianapolis and Tennessee. Hopkins has played well against both this season. Against Tennessee, he's tallied 11 catches off 17 targets for 184 yards and a score. Meanwhile, he's notched 14 catches off 22 targets for 205 yards and two touchdowns against the Colts, though the vast majority of that production came in their first meeting. There's also an outside chance the Texans face the Steelers or Ravens next week. If the Colts and Titans end up in a tie, either Pittsburgh or Baltimore could travel to Houston for a first-round matchup.

Godwin brought in six of nine targets for 114 yards with two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 34-32 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Godwin had been unable to take advantage of his last two starts in place of DeSean Jackson (Achilles), but he made up for some of those past struggles Sunday. The second-year wideout brought in touchdown passes of 30 and 19 yards from Jameis Winston in the second and fourth quarters, posting his third 100-yard effort of the campaign in the process. Godwin set career highs in receptions (59), receiving yardage (842) and touchdowns (seven) in 2018, and with Jackson all but certain to depart the team this offseason, the Penn State product is poised to take over No. 2 receiver duties heading into 2019.

Evans brought in six of nine targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 34-32 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Evans wraps up a disappointing season for the Bucs as one of the team's true bright spots, and he compiled between 86 and 121 receiving yards over his last four games. The fifth-year veteran logged eight 100-yard efforts overall as well, enabling him to amass a career-best 1,524 yards on the campaign. Already locked up long term in Tampa, Evans will now look ahead to 2019, when he could well be operating under a new head coach and offensive system given Dirk Koetter's highly tenuous status at the moment.

Jones caught all three of his targets, putting up 40 receiving yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 31-0 win against the Packers.

Jones saw an uptick in his involvement within the Lions passing attack towards the end of the season, collecting 10 receptions (on 12 targets) for 87 yards over the past three weeks, compared to nine receptions for 103 yards between Weeks 1 and 14. He went crazy in Week 17 specifically, picking up two receiving touchdowns against the Packers after accounting for two touchdowns through his first 41 NFL appearances. With Golden Tate already having been traded earlier this season, Jones has a chance to re-sign with Detroit and enter 2019 as the Lions No. 3 receiving option behind Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones (knee), depending on whether the team elects to acquire another target in free agency or the 2019 Draft.

With Antonio Brown (knee) inactive Sunday against the Bengals, look for Washington's profile in the Steelers' Week 17 offense to expand.

While Washington can't be expected to duplicate Brown's level of play, he figures to see enough work opposite JuJu Smith-Schuster on Sunday to merit Week 17 lineup consideration.

Robinson (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

With a win over Minnesota combined with a Rams loss to the lowly 49ers representing the Bears' only path to a first-round bye in the playoffs, Chicago isn't inclined to take chances with banged-up players in the regular-season finale. Like Robinson, star safety Eddie Jackson (ankle) will also sit out Week 17 after being listed as doubtful heading into Sunday, but both could be available for the Bears' first playoff game. In the meantime, Taylor Gabriel and Anthony Miller are expected to enjoy heightened roles in the passing attack while Robinson misses his second straight game and third total of the season.

Godwin is expected to be featured regularly in three-receiver formations Sunday against the Falcons with DeSean Jackson (Achilles) inactive, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

After missing three straight games with a thumb injury, Jackson returned to action in last week's loss to Dallas, playing 29 offensive snaps and apparently hurting his Achilles along the way. With Jackson sidelined again, Godwin should settle back in as Tampa Bay's top downfield threat, a role he filled to mixed results while Jackson was out Weeks 13 through 15. Over that stretch, Godwin reeled in six passes for 114 yards and a touchdown on 19 targets, with five of the receptions and 101 of the yards coming in one game.
