Vele caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Saturday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Bengals.

Vele caught just two passes for the second straight week despite playing the second-most offensive snaps (30) behind Courtland Sutton (56). In 12 appearances this season, the rookie wideout has recorded 37 catches on 51 targets for 425 yards and two touchdowns. Vele has proven to be a solid wide receiver in his first year, and his continued development will likely lead to him becoming a more consistent contributor in the Broncos' young receiver corps going forward. With that said, the Utah product remains a dicey start in a Week 18 matchup against the Chiefs based on his limited opportunities in Denver's offense.

Woods caught one of three targets for three yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Dolphins.

Woods was on the field for 86 percent of the offensive snaps, but once again, the playing time didn't translate into meaningful production. Since being signed to the active roster five games ago, Woods has operated as the de facto third wideout and played 83.1 percent of the snaps, but he has just seven catches on 18 targets for 65 yards.

Moore caught one of five targets for one yard in Sunday's 20-3 loss to Miami in Week 17.

Following a brief spasm of production in the middle of the season, when Jameis Winston took over as the starting quarterback, Moore has provided little of late. He's caught five of 15 targets for 21 yards over the last three games, with Dorian Thompson-Robinson atop the depth chart. The lack of production comes at a time when both Cedric Tillman (concussion) and David Njoku (knee) were inactive or limited by injury.

Mooney finished with two receptions on five targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Commanders.

Mooney failed to replicate last week's healthy receiving line in Sunday's narrow loss to Washington. The veteran wideout has alternated strong and poor fantasy scores in the five games since returning from Atlanta's Week 12 bye. Mooney did notch his second 1,000-yard season in Sunday's loss, and he should be a high-floor option in fantasy for Week 18 against the Panthers next Sunday.

McLaurin caught just one of seven targets for five yards in Sunday's 30-24 overtime win over the Falcons.

McLaurin picked a horrible time to post his worst fantasy score of the season for managers who were competing for a fantasy crown. The steady veteran tied his season low in receptions while setting new lows in catch rate (14 percent) and receiving yards (five). It's uncertain how much McLaurin will play next Sunday against the Cowboys with Washington having locked up a playoff spot and unable to advance any higher than the No. 6 seed in the NFC.

Zaccheaus caught eight of nine targets for 85 yards and a touchdown while adding eight rushing yards on his lone attempt in Sunday's overtime win over Atlanta.

Zaccheaus followed up last week's impressive two-score showing with another strong fantasy performance in Week 17. The former Falcon set a new career high in receiving yards (540) with Sunday's output against his former club. Zaccheaus' recent string of strong play has put the receiver on the map in most formats ahead of a Week 18 matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday.

London hauled in seven of 13 targets for 106 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Commanders.

London wound up recording his second-highest total in receiving yards this season despite his club falling just short of victory Sunday. The budding third-year pro brought his season line up to 97-1,190-7 following his Week 17 effort, cementing his status as the team's clear-cut No. 1 option. London will look to finish the season strong in next Sunday's regular-season finale against the Panthers.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded three receptions on six targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jaguars.

Westbrook-Ikhine finished tied for second on the team with six targets, his highest total since Week 13. It wasn't his most efficient performance, though he managed long catches of 18 and 12 yards. Westbrook-Ikhine remains a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option, making him particularly tough to rely upon given the current state of the Tennessee offense.

Washington recorded three receptions on three targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Titans.

Brian Thomas remained the only pass catcher in Jacksonville to see significant volume in the game, with Washington finishing second on the team in targets. Washington did deliver a pair of key catches, the first being an impressive, leaping two-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone early in the second quarter. He then recorded a 24-yard gain that helped get the Jaguars in position for a game-clinching touchdown in the final quarter. Washington has done a solid job stepping up in a depleted Jaguars' receiving corps, having topped 50 receiving yards and/or finding the end zone in four of his last five games.

Reed recorded one reception on four targets for six yards in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Vikings.

Targets were projected to condense in the Green Bay offense with Christian Watson (knee) sidelined, making Reed's stat line even more disappointing. His biggest impact on the game came midway through the second quarter when he dropped a pass that would have been a conversion on fourth down. Since Green Bay's Week 10 bye, Reed has failed to reach 35 receiving yards in six of seven games.
