Addison had five receptions on eight targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over Seattle.

Addison's fantasy performance was overshadowed by Justin Jefferson's massive 10-144-2 receiving line Sunday, but the former still produced worthwhile numbers for all intents and purposes. The 22-year-old Addison upped his cumulative production to 56-806-8 in 13 games played this season, providing a solid No. 2 option for quarterback Sam Darnold in Minnesota's potent offense. Addison should be in the starting conversation in most fantasy formats ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Green Bay.

Hill (wrist/personal) had three receptions on seven targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-17 win over the 49ers.

Hill was a limited participant in practice this week while tending to a personal issue in addition to a bum wrist. The speedy wideout overcame both roadblocks in order to suit up for a Dolphins squad that was without the services of Jaylen Waddle (knee) on Sunday. Hill didn't post the kind of volume managers may have expected with his running mate sidelined to injury, but he salvaged his performance by catching Miami's only passing touchdown on the day. With 834 receiving yards and just two games remaining on the schedule, Hill is in danger of failing to reach 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since an injury-shortened season back in 2019.

Shepard (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Shepard came up lame at the end of a 14-yard run in the third quarter and grabbed at his hamstring. He was ruled out shortly thereafter. Shepard caught one of three targets for 20 yards prior to the injury but also had two drops, including one that hit him right in the numbers on fourth down in the first quarter.

Tolbert (finger) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Tolbert injured his finger attempting to make a contested catch late in the first half. Prior to the injury, he caught two of three targets for 20 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter.

Hopkins caught all four of his targets for 37 yards in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans.

Hopkins was once again limited to less than 40 yards in Week 16, marking his third straight contest failing to reach that mark and fifth time in nine games since being traded to Kansas City. The wide receiver has reeled in 13 catches for 105 yards and a touchdown over the last three games. With Hollywood Brown back in action, Hopkins may see a drop in production moving forward.

Johnson failed to corral his lone target in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

This was the fourth straight game in which Johnson has seen snaps on offense. In those games, the receiver has one catch for six yards on two targets, and unless his role changes, he won't be a reliable fantasy option.

Metcalf had three receptions on seven targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

The Seahawks continued to manage Metcalf's lingering shoulder injury during the practice week, but it did not affect his availability for Sunday's contest. The physical wideout finally hit pay dirt with a 25-yard grab in the second quarter after scoring his last touchdown back in Week 7. Metcalf has fallen out of favor to Jaxon Smith-Njigba as Geno Smith's favorite target in the second half of the season, so it was encouraging for fantasy managers to see their guy get back in the mix despite finishing behind JSN in receiving yet again. The 27-year-old Metcalf will attempt to build off this positive performance against the Bears on Thursday Night Football in Week 17.

Iosivas brought in all three targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 24-6 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Iosivas came down with one of Joe Burrow's three touchdown passes, making a six-yard grab just before the midway point of the second quarter to put Cincinnati up by two scores. Iosivas' yardage total was a new career-high figure as well, and he's now posted at least three receptions in four of the last five games. Iosivas will remain a deep-league option in a Week 17 home matchup against the Broncos on Saturday afternoon thanks to Burrow's talent and the Bengals' pass-centric approach.

Moore secured two of five targets for 21 yards in the Browns' 24-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson's ascension to the starting quarterback job didn't really do any Browns pass catchers any favors with the exception of David Njoku, as is evident in Moore's pedestrian receiving line. The fourth-year pro actually outpaced Jerry Jeudy, who'd been on a torrid pace with Jameis Winston (shoulder) under center, by two targets and one receiving yard Sunday, but that didn't amount to any tangible fantasy value. Moore could be headed to even more unremarkable numbers in Week 17 when the Dolphins come to town, due both to Miami's talented secondary and the fact Cedric Tillman (concussion) may be ready to return to action.

Samuel caught seven of nine targets for 96 yards and a touchdown while adding 25 rushing yards on five attempts in Sunday's 29-17 loss to Miami.

Samuel finally broke out of the worst slump of his professional career by recording his best fantasy score to date in 2024. The dual-threat receiver also finished with his most rushing yards in a game this year with San Francisco being forced to start a running back (Patrick Taylor) who began the year on the practice squad. It is worth noting that Samuel needed to have his right wrist examined briefly by the medical staff in the second half of Sunday's loss, but he promptly returned to action and finished the contest without issue. With a strong performance under his belt, fantasy managers who may have benched Samuel during his horrid slump can feel better about reinserting the fantasy star into lineups against Detroit next Monday.
