Melton caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Vikings.

Melton played just 16 of the Packers' 63 offensive snaps Sunday, yet he saw a season-high four targets in the contest. The 25-year-old saw increased usage in the passing game against Minnesota with fellow wideout Christian Watson (ankle) inactive. Nonetheless, Melton remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Bears.

Wicks caught four of five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Vikings.

Wicks finished second in playing time among Packers wideouts, handling a 73 percent offensive snap share in the contest. The 23-year-old's five targets were also second-most among Green Bay pass catchers, trailing only Romeo Doubs (11). With teammate Christian Watson (knee) inactive for the game, Wicks saw a more prominent role than usual, but if Watson can play Week 18 against the Bears, Wicks would likely be headed for a downturn in his snap count.

Nailor caught all five of his targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Packers.

Nailor's catch and yardage totals were both season highs. Despite having his best statistical game of the season, Nailor remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes after earning no more than three targets in any of his eight prior appearances before Sunday.

Mitchell caught two of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 45-33 loss to the Giants.

Mitchell reeled in two passes Sunday, marking the first time the wideout recorded multiple passes in a contest since Week 10. The rookie wideout has had a mostly disappointing first season, recording 23 receptions on 54 targets for 312 yards while failing to find the end zone through 16 games. The 22-year-old will look to finish the year strong against the Jaguars in the Week 18 season finale.

Downs caught three of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 45-33 loss to the Giants.

Downs reeled in just three passes for the fourth straight game, as the 23-year-old wideout has failed to produce consistently for fantasy purposes. Downs played 47 of the Colts' 77 offensive snaps Sunday, operating in his No. 3 wide receiver role behind Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce. The North Carolina product will look to bounce back in the season finale when the Colts visit the Jaguars in Week 18.

Brooks caught his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 41-7 loss to the Eagles.

Brooks was not a major part of the Cowboys offensive plans Sunday, playing just 13 offensive snaps and earning one target. The second-year wideout should continue to handle a small role in the Cowboys' offense heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Commanders. With nothing to play for, however, it's possible that Dallas' coaching staff may want to get a better look at some of their young talent ahead of the offseason.

Coleman caught three of seven targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jets.

Coleman led Buffalo in targets (7) and led all wideouts in playing time, finishing the game with a 90 percent snap share. The rookie's touchdown was his fourth trip to the end zone this season. With Buffalo clinching the No. 2 seed for the playoffs, Coleman may see less playing time in the season finale against the Patriots if head coach Sean McDermott decides to rest some of the team's key starters.

Woods was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to a knee injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Woods is nursing the knee injury coming out of the Browns' 20-3 loss to the Dolphins this past Sunday, when he played 68 of 79 snaps on offense en route to finishing with a three-yard reception across four targets. If he's able to move past the knee issue in time for Saturday's season finale in Baltimore, Woods should once again be in line for a top-three role at receiver after the Browns placed Cedric Tillman (concussion) on injured reserve Tuesday.

The Texans signed Janke to their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Janke signed with Houston as an undrafted free agent in April before landing on IR -- and subsequently being waived with an injury settlement -- in July. He'll provide organizational wideout depth for the Texans, though the team claimed Diontae Johnson off waivers last week to soften the blow of losing Tank Dell for the season due to a knee injury.

Hollins reeled in both of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jets.

Hollins saw two targets from quarterback Josh Allen against the Jets, his lowest target total since Week 13. The veteran played 38 of the Bills' 70 offensive snaps, behind Keon Coleman (63) and Khalil Shakir (43). Hollins could be in store for more playing time in Week 18, however, as the Bills have clinched the No. 2 seed for the playoffs and could choose to rest some of their starters in the season finale against the Patriots.
