  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Panthers' Adam Thielen: Five-catch finale Sunday

    Thielen secured five of six targets for 44 yards in the Panthers' 44-38 overtime win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Thielen made his usual solid contributions in the season-ending victory, finishing second in receptions and targets and third in receiving yards. Thielen was a key element in Bryce Young's resurgence over the second half of the campaign, and after a second straight productive season in Carolina, he could certainly be back in 2025 for what would be his contract year.

  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Bears' DJ Moore: Busy day in finale

    Moore secured nine of 10 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for five yards in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Moore led the Bears in receptions, receiving yards and targets, a customary development for the talented veteran. He did almost all the work on his 32-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter, taking a screen and weaving his way down the right side of the field to paydirt. Moore worked well with rookie first overall pick Caleb Williams all season, posting posting a career-high 98 receptions for 966 yards and six touchdowns while playing all 17 regular-season games for the fourth time in as many seasons since the schedule expanded in 2021.

  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: Back in action Sunday

    Raymond (foot) is active for Sunday night's matchup against the Vikings.

    Raymond will officially make his return from a four-game absence with a foot injury. The wide receiver will likely be back in his role as the team's primary punt returner while also slotting back in as a dynamic option behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams with Detroit's offense.

  • Chris Conley WR | SF

    49ers' Chris Conley: Questionable to return Sunday

    Conley (elbow) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Conley suffered the elbow injury in the second half and his return is now up in the air. The wide receiver caught both of his targets for 30 yards before departing Sunday. In his absence, Trent Taylor is a candidate to see an increase in workload with San Francisco's offense.

  • Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Tops 100 yards to close out year

    Thomas caught seven of 11 targets for 103 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Colts.

    The 23rd overall pick in the 2024 Draft closed out his rookie campaign in style, topping 100 yards for the third time in the last four games. Thomas benefitted down the stretch from the fact that Christian Kirk (collarbone), Gabe Davis (knee) and Evan Engram (shoulder) were all on the shelf, but he was also catching passes from Mac Jones and not Trevor Lawrence (shoulder). Thomas finished the year having compiled an 87-1,282-10 line on 133 targets, with the yardage figure leading all rookies. Even if the Jaguars' passing attack is at full strength in 2025, Thomas should be a significant part of it, if not the clear No. 1 receiver for Lawrence.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Standout performance in loss

    London secured 10 of 18 targets for 187 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons' 44-38 overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    The star wideout put together a stellar effort in a game the Falcons need to win to have a chance at a playoff spot, setting a new career high in receiving yards. London comfortably led the Falcons' pass catchers across the board for the afternoon as well, and his 10 grabs vaulted him to exactly 100 receptions for the season. London also finished the 2024 campaign with a career-high nine touchdown grabs courtesy of his 20- and 21-yard scoring catches, and the chemistry he displayed with rookie quarterback Michael Penix over the three games he played with him sends both players into the offseason with plenty of momentum.

  • Brandin Cooks WR | BUF

    Cowboys' Brandin Cooks: Quiet in season finale

    Cooks caught three of nine targets for 15 yards and rushed once for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Commanders.

    Cooks struggled to get on the same page with third-string quarterback Trey Lance, who started the season finale. The 31-year-old wideout had his campaign derailed by an IR stint due to a knee injury, finishing with just 26 catches for 259 yards and three touchdowns on 54 targets. Cooks will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

  • Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA

    Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Career-high 98 yards in Week 18

    Tolbert caught four of six targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Commanders.

    Tolbert showed nice chemistry with Trey Lance, who got the start under center for the season finale. The 25-year-old wide receiver set a single-game career high in receiving yards to finish his third NFL season on a high note. After setting career highs across the board with 49 catches for 610 yards and seven touchdowns on 79 targets in 2024, Tolbert will likely reprise his role as a depth option in a receiving corps led by CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) in 2025.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Five catches as Watson goes down

    Wicks caught five of six targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Bears.

    Wicks led the Packers in catches while finishing four receiving yards shy of Malik Heath's team-leading total in the regular-season finale. Both depth wideouts could maintain elevated roles on the road against the Eagles in the wild-card round, as fellow wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) exited Sunday's loss due to a non-contact injury and Romeo Doubs (illness) didn't dress. Wicks caught 39 of 76 targets for 415 yards and five touchdowns in an up-and-down regular season.

  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Two catches in Week 18 loss

    Reed caught both of his targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Bears. He also rushed three times for three yards and lost a fumble.

    The Packers like to get the speedy Reed involved in the run game, but he had a pair of lowlights on the ground in this one, as he fumbled at the end of a four-yard run in the second quarter and was stuffed for minus-2 yards on a fourth-down carry to start the fourth quarter. Reed slumped down the stretch, as this was only the second time he exceeded 35 receiving yards in the last eight games. He finishes the regular season with 55 catches for 857 yards and six touchdowns on 75 targets, as well as 163 yards and a touchdown rushing. Reed will try to get back on track when the Packers travel to Philadelphia in the wild-card round, likely without fellow wide receiver Christian Watson (knee).
