  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Closes season with flourish

    St. Brown secured 11 of 15 targets for 139 yards in the Lions' 19-16 win over the Bears on Sunday.

    St. Brown shook off a questionable designation due to a knee injury and put together one of his best performances of the season, as he was targeted early and often by Jared Goff. The star receiver comfortably paced the Lions in receptions, receiving yards and targets, recording his second-highest tallies of the season in the first and third categories in the process. St. Brown is essentially blameless in Detroit's surprising failure to reach the postseason, as the 2021 fourth-round pick recorded 117 receptions for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns and added three carries for nine yards across 17 games. St. Brown will naturally serve as a centerpiece of the Lions' air attack again in 2026.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: NFL reception leader in 2025

    Nacua hauled in 10 of 11 targets for 76 yards and a touchdown while taking two carries for 24 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Cardinals.

    Nacua entered Sunday's contest with 119 catches over 15 healthy starts in 2025, which put him in a dead heat with Cardinals TE Trey McBride for the league lead in receptions, so it was fitting that both of the superstars' teams faced off against one another in the final game of the regular season. The wideout outproduced the tight end in this individual competition after Nacua secured 10 of his 11 targets compared to McBride's seven and eight, respectively. The 24-year-old Nacua added 24 rushing yards to give fantasy managers an even 100 yards from scrimmage to go along with his 11th touchdown as the Rams secured the victory and the NFC's fifth seed with the playoffs set to commence next week. The NFL's reception leader could be busy against Carolina's talented secondary when Nacua and the Rams visit the Panthers in the wild-card round.

  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Leading receiver Sunday

    Hutchinson caught five of nine targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 38-30 win over the Colts.

    With Nico Collins getting held out of the game ahead of the playoffs, Hutchinson stepped up to lead the Texans in catches and receiving yards, tying his season high in receptions while setting new high-water marks for 2025 in yardage and targets. The third-year wideout finished the regular season with a career-best 35-428-3 line on 57 targets over 17 games, but he'll likely be a secondary option for C.J. Stroud in the wild-card round against the winner of Sunday night's AFC North clash between the Ravens and Steelers.

  • Theo Wease Jr. WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Theo Wease: Might have concussion

    Wease was evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday's game against the Patriots, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    The wide receiver caught three passes for 44 yards on five targets before exiting. Wease entered the day with three catches for 95 yards and a touchdown on the year.

  • Roman Wilson WR | PIT

    Steelers' Roman Wilson: Inactive Sunday night

    Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday Night Football against the Ravens.

    The wide receiver is now a healthy scratch for the fourth time in five weeks, though he did play nine offensive snaps against the Browns in Week 17. Even with DK Metcalf out due to a suspension, Calvin Austin, Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Scotty Miller and Ben Skowronek are ahead of Wilson on the depth chart.

  • Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Done for the afternoon

    Lambert-Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Broncos.

    Lambert-Smith suffered a hamstring injury in the second quarter, and his night has now officially come to a premature end. Tre' Harris and Derius Davis could see a slight uptick in usage at wide receiver in his absence.

  • Tom Kennedy WR | DET

    Lions' Tom Kennedy: Nursing rib injury

    Kennedy (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Chicago.

    Kennedy suffered an injury to his ribs in the fourth quarter, and his status for the remainder of the contest is now up in the air. In his absence, Kalif Raymond and Jacob Saylors are top candidates to see added work at kick returner for Detroit.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Huge performance to cap campaign

    Pierce caught four of seven targets for 132 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Texans.

    With Riley Leonard getting his first career start at quarterback, Pierce stepped up as the rookie's top downfield option, hauling in a 66-yard score in the first quarter and an eight-yard TD in the second. The fourth-year wideout wasn't able to add to his numbers in the fourth quarter, however, getting ejected late in the third for making contact with an official while complaining about the lack of a pass interference call on a potential third touchdown. Pierce finishes 2025 with career highs in catches (47), yards (1,003) and targets (84) while scoring six TDs, but his fantasy appeal next year will depend a great deal on how the Colts solve their QB dilemma this offseason.

  • Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Tweaks hamstring, iffy to return

    Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Lambert-Smith appeared to sustain the injury late in the second quarter after hauling in an 18-yard pass from Trey Lance. Derius Davis would serve as the primary returner on kickoffs and see more snaps on offense if Lambert-Smith is unable to return.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Hits paydirt in Week 18 loss

    Higgins caught six of nine targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-18 loss to the Browns.

    The 26-year-old wideout set a new career high with his 11th TD reception of the season on a 13-yard connection with Joe Burrow in the second quarter. Higgins missed time once again in 2025 due to injuries, but he still posted a 59-846-11 line on 98 targets over 15 games. Ja'Marr Chase's presence caps Higgins' volume, but he remains one of the most productive No. 2 WRs in the league.
