  • Theo Wease Jr. WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Theo Wease: Scores first career TD

    Wease secured his only target for a 63-yard touchdown during Miami's 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Wease recorded Miami's longest play of the day, connecting deep down the left side of the field for rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers' first of two passing touchdowns near the end of the first quarter. The Dolphins signed Wease to the active roster from the practice squad in advance of Sunday's matchup, after having elevated him to make his regular-season debut versus Cincinnati in Week 16. The undrafted rookie out of Missouri will work to showcase his talents again in a difficult road matchup against the Patriots in Week 18.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Season-best numbers in loss

    Godwin brought in seven of eight targets for 108 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Godwin tied Jalen McMillan for the team lead in receptions -- one of them a five-yard touchdown grab to open the scoring in the first quarter -- while checking in as the runner-up to his teammate in both receiving yards and targets. The veteran wideout compiled more than half his yardage on a 59-yard catch-and-run play with just under two minutes remaining in the game. Godwin has at least five receptions in three of his last four games, and a similar caliber of production would be very welcome in a critical Week 18 home matchup against the Panthers that presents a chance for the Bucs to still win the division, with a Week 18 win coupled with a Falcons loss in one of the next two games.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Returns to game, but no catches

    Waddle (ribs) could not secure his only target during Miami's 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He gained seven rushing yards on his only carry.

    Waddle was forced out of Sunday's win midway through the second quarter due to a ribs injury and initially listed as questionable to return, prior to which he had logged his sole carry of the day. He retook the field late in the third quarter but failed to record any further statistics, beyond being targeted once for a short incompletion with just over five minutes remaining. The performance was crushing for fantasy mangers who trusted Waddle in a crucial matchup, though he had put up a respective 5-72-0 receiving line versus the Bengals in Week 16, a game which also saw Quinn Ewers line up under center. Waddle will have one last chance to display chemistry with Ewers during the Dolphins' regular-season finale on the road at New England in Week 18.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Aggravates heel injury

    Harrison left Sunday's game in Cincinnati due to a heel injury.

    Harrison sat out Weeks 14 and 15 due to a heel issue but has been able to suit up for both of the Cardinals' last two contests. Upon his departure in the fourth quarter this Sunday, he was unable to haul in his only target. For as long as Harrison is sidelined, Michael Wilson will continue to pace the team's receiving corps, with WRs Xavier Weaver, Jalen Brooks and Steven Sims the other available options at the position.

  • Gabe Davis WR | BUF

    Bills' Gabe Davis: Active against Philadelphia

    Davis is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    With Keon Coleman inactive, Buffalo's Week 17 WR corps will be comprised of Davis, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks. In four games thus far this season, Davis has caught seven of his 10 targets for 88 yards.

  • Keon Coleman WR | BUF

    Bills' Keon Coleman: Inactive versus Philadelphia

    Coleman is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    With Coleman inactive, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks are slated to handle Buffalo's Week 17 wide-receiver duties.

  • Jack Bech WR | LV

    Raiders' Jack Bech: Won't play vs. NYG

    Bech (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Bech popped up on Friday's injury report due to a back injury and has not been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. Bech's absence means Tyler Lockett, Alex Bachman and Dont'e Thornton are in line for larger roles on offense alongside Tre Tucker. With the Raiders eliminated from playoff contention, Bech's last opportunity to play this season is Week 18 against the Chiefs.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Concussion confirmed

    Shaheed has been diagnosed with a concussion and won't return to Sunday's game at Carolina, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Shaheed was slammed to the turf out of bounds at the end of his eight-yard catch near the end of the first quarter and was slow to get up. He was evaluated for a possible head injury, which now has been confirmed. With Shaheed out for the rest of Week 17 and Cody White also exiting due to a groin injury, Cooper Kupp, Dareke Young and Jake Bobo currently are the healthy WRs available to Seattle's offense that aren't named Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

  • Raiders' Phillip Dorsett: Healthy scratch Week 17

    Dorsett (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Dorsett was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, but the veteran wide receiver's services are not needed for Sunday's contest. With Jack Bech (back) inactive, the Raiders will go with five active wide receivers in Tre Tucker, Tyler Lockett, Alex Bachman, Dont'e Thornton and Shedrick Jackson.

  • Van Jefferson WR | TEN

    Titans' Van Jefferson: Hurts forearm Sunday

    Jefferson (forearm) won't return to Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Prior to injuring his forearm, Jefferson caught all three of his targets for 46 yards. In his absence, James Proche and Mason Kinsey are available to handle added WR snaps alongside Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike.
