Romeo Doubs WR | GB
Packers' Romeo Doubs: Three catches in loss
Doubs recorded three receptions on three targets for 62 yards in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens.
Doubs wasn't prioritized among the Packers' pass catchers, as he was one of five pass catchers with at least three targets. He was efficient with his opportunity thanks primarily to a 40-yard reception midway through the first quarter, Green Bay's longest play from scrimmage. Doubs has at least 60 yards in consecutive games, the first time he's accomplished that feat this season.

Zay Flowers WR | BAL
Ravens' Zay Flowers: Scores in third straight
Flowers recorded four receptions on five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 41-24 win over the Packers.
The Ravens took to the air only 20 times and limited most of those attempts to short areas of the field. That held back all of their pass catchers, though Flowers made the most of his opportunity to lead the team in receptions and yards. He also found the end zone for the third straight game after making a 10-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter.

Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Bright spot for Packers
Watson recorded five receptions on six targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens.
Watson has been limited by his own injuries and the absence of Jordan Love (concussion) in recent weeks. However, he was the primary driver of the team's offense through the air in Saturday's loss while surpassing 100 receiving yards for the first time since Week 14 of the 2024 season. Watson logged long receptions of 39, 31 and 23 yards, the longest of which went for a score early in the first quarter. Watson has logged at least 80 receiving yards in three of his last five contests and should be Green Bay's most productive receiver so long as he can remain on the field.

Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | ARI
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Likely to be on snap count Sunday
Harrison (heel) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, but he's expected to play and is likely to have his snaps managed for the second straight contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Harrison had missed four of the Cardinals' five games between Weeks 11 and 15 -- two due to an appendectomy, two due to a heel injury -- before he was cleared to return to action in last Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons. However, Harrison played just 51 percent of the offensive snaps in the loss, turning in a disappointing 1-14-0 receiving line on three targets. Harrison looks to have avoided any setbacks coming out of that contest, but he'll once again be carrying a designation into the weekend after he was a limited participant in all three of the Cardinals' Week 17 practices. Harrison should be cleared when Arizona releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but the likelihood that he has his snaps monitored again probably limits his fantasy appeal relative to the Cardinals' other top pass catchers, tight end Trey McBride and wideout Michael Wilson.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | GB
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Downgraded to out with concussion
Wicks (concussion) will not return to Saturday night's game against the Ravens.
Wicks exited the game just ahead of halftime after catching his lone target for seven yards. With Wicks done for the night, Matthew Golden and Bo Melton are next up for wideout snaps behind Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson and Jayden Reed.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | GB
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Exits for concussion evaluation
Wicks exited Saturday night's game against the Ravens with a head injury and is questionable to return.
Wicks is undergoing concussion evaluation just before halftime. Prior to exiting, Wicks caught his lone target in the passing game for a gain of seven yards. Matthew Golden and Bo Melton would be in line for additional playing time while Wicks is sidelined.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Another modest performance
Collins recorded three receptions on four targets for 57 yards in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.
The Texans accounted for most of their offensive production on two deep touchdown passes on their first two possessions, and Collins wasn't on the receiving end of either. He was one of five Houston pass catchers to earn at least four targets, as C.J. Stroud distributed targets evenly to his skill-position players. The end result was that Collins turned in a modest 57 yards, his second consecutive game with under 60 receiving yards.

Jayden Higgins WR | HOU
Texans' Jayden Higgins: Highest yardage total as pro
Higgins recorded two receptions on four targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.
Higgins made an immediate impact in Saturday's game, breaking behind the Chargers' defense to catch a 75-yard touchdown on Houston's first possession of the game. He tacked on a 13-yard catch to begin the following drive, but he failed to make another reception thereafter. Even with just his production early in the contest, Higgins managed the highest yardage total of his rookie season and found the end zone for the first time since Week 12.

Ladd McConkey WR | LAC
Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Big gain on one catch
McConkey brought in one of two targets for 31 yards and returned two punts for 13 yards in the Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday.
McConkey's inconsistent production persisted in Saturday's key game, although the second-year wideout made a significant contribution on his one catch. McConkey hasn't cleared 43 receiving yards in five consecutive games, but he'll still head into the Week 18 road matchup against the Broncos with an outside chance of recording the 111 receiving yards he'd need to hit the 900-yard mark for the second time in as many pro seasons.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Paces pass catchers in loss
Johnston brought in five of eight targets for 98 yards in the Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday.
Johnston got off to a slow start, but he ended up giving his day a significant boost via a team-high 60-yard catch late in the first half. The speedster finished with a team-high yardage tally and co-led the Chargers in targets as well, and Johnston is now averaging 101.5 receiving yards over his last two contests as a Week 18 road clash against the Broncos approaches.
