Humphrey caught two of five targets for 23 yards in Denver's 20-13 win over Kansas City on Thursday.

Humphrey's five targets were his most in a game since joining the Broncos on Nov. 12. With Pat Bryant (concussion) absent against the Chiefs, Humphrey operated as the Broncos' WR2 in terms of playing time, getting in on 60 percent of the offensive snaps, ahead of both Marvin Mims (47 percent) and Troy Franklin (38 percent). In six games with the Broncos, Humphrey has nine catches for 101 yards and one touchdown on 15 targets.

Thielen caught two passes for 14 yards on five targets in the Steelers' 13-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Despite DK Metcalf serving his suspension, Thielen was tied for third on the team in targets and finished sixth in receiving yards. At 35 years old, Thielen simply doesn't have a whole lot left in the tank while also playing in a passing offense that is unable to support more than one pass catcher.

Williams caught four of five targets for 30 yards in the Jets' loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Williams' five targets were second on the team behind Adonai Mitchell's nine versus New England. However, it was John Metchie who led the team in receiving with 41 yards on three grabs. Williams has become a fixture in three-wide sets for New York and now has 20 catches for 169 yards on 29 targets, with all of that production coming since Week 8. Still, Williams doesn't possess any sort of fantasy ceiling in this broken Jets offense.

Douglas caught one of two targets for 10 yards in the Patriots' 42-10 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Douglas was one of the lone Patriots to do very little in the box score, as Drake Maye went 19-for-21 passing for 256 yards and five touchdowns. Douglas entered the game with a hamstring issue but was active versus New York, though his two targets were tied for the fewest on the team. After producing at least 30 receiving yards in six straight games from Weeks 8 to 13, Douglas has totaled two catches for 16 yards on four targets across the past four contests. He's a bit player in the New England offense.

Pittman recorded two receptions on three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Jaguars.

Pittman's disappearance from the Colts' offense continued Sunday, as he finished tied for fourth on the team in targets with Mo Alie-Cox. His impact during the competitive portion of the game was even more limited than the box score indicates, as he tallied a 12-yard catch while the Jaguars were in prevent defense in the final moments. Pittman missed a few plays early in the second quarter after suffering a calf injury, which could complicate his outlook for a Week 18 matchup against the Texans, given that the Colts have been eliminated from playoff contention. Even if Pittman does suit up, he's been held to 35 yards or fewer in five of his last six contests.

Egbuka caught three of five targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins.

Egbuka was held out of the end zone for the seventh straight game, failing to exceed 64 receiving yards in each of those contests. The wide receiver finished fourth at his position in targets behind Jalen McMillan (nine), Chris Godwin (eight) and Mike Evans (seven), which doesn't inspire much confidence for Week 18 against the Panthers.

Robinson recorded 11 receptions on 14 targets for 113 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Raiders.

The Giants' passing game came alive in a soft matchup, and Robinson accounted for 14 targets on 30 pass attempts from Jaxson Dart. He primarily worked in short and intermediate areas of the field, though he did manage long gains of 36 and 17 yards to top 100 yards in a game for the third time this season. Robinson also surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in a season for the first time in his career with the effort, a timely breakout given his pending free agency this offseason.

Watkins (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Bears.

Watkins will head back to the bench after being active in Week 16 against the Colts. The wide receiver will be a healthy scratch for the fourth time in five weeks.

Austin brought in four of five targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 34-26 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Austin continued to fill an elevated role with Mason Tipton (groin) sidelined, and the second-year wideout provided season-best catch and receiving yardage totals while also equaling his season high in targets. The Notre Dame product has multiple receptions in three consecutive games heading into the Week 18 finale on the road against the Falcons.

Zaccheaus (illness) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against San Francisco.

Zaccheaus was a late addition to Chicago's injury report due to an illness, and despite initially being initially listed as questionable to face the 49ers, he'll join Rome Odunze (foot) on the sideline for Week 17. DJ Moore (illness) is active for Sunday Night Football, meanwhile, despite having been added to the injury report in a similar fashion to Zaccheaus. Behind Moore and Luther Burden, expect Devin Duvernay, Jahdae Walker and JP Richardson to see increased offensive reps at the wide receiver position Sunday.
