  • Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Out-targeted by two other WRs

    Thomas caught four of seven targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.

    Thomas tied Jakobi Meyers for third on the Jaguars in receiving yards behind Parker Washington (115) and Brenton Strange (54). Washington paced the team with 10 targets for the second consecutive game and Thomas was also out-targeted, 9-7, by Meyers. Thomas has struggled to find consistency while working as part of a crowded pass-catching group in Jacksonville, though there could be plenty of production to go around in Week 18, when the 12-4 Jaguars can clinch the AFC South by beating the 3-13 Titans.

    Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Nine targets in Week 17 win

    Meyers caught six of nine targets for 39 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.

    Meyers fumbled on a failed lateral attempt to Travis Etienne in the first quarter, but the veteran wide receiver was otherwise his usual steady self. This was Meyers' seventh consecutive game with at least four catches, and he has at least 39 receiving yards in all eight of his appearances for the Jaguars after coming over from the Raiders in a midseason trade. Meyers will remain a reliable target in the short and intermediate range when the Jaguars try to clinch the AFC South in a Week 18 home game against the Titans.

  • Andrei Iosivas WR | CIN

    Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Four grabs in Sunday's rout

    Iosivas caught four of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Cardinals.

    The third-year wideout finished second on the Bengals in targets behind Ja'Marr Chase, although Iosivas was only fourth in receiving yards. Iosivas has struggled to make a consistent impact in 2025, but he'll head into a Week 18 tilt against the Browns needing six catches and 55 yards to set new career highs in those categories.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Salvages day with TD

    Evans brought in three of seven targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Evans was enduring a mostly miserable afternoon before he was able to secure a four-yard touchdown grab with just under a minute remaining to give the Buccaneers some fleeting hope. Otherwise, the perennial Pro Bowler was mostly a non-factor, albeit while crossing the 13,000-yard career mark on one of his earlier catches. Evans has back-to-back 31-yard, one-touchdown efforts, and the team he secured the first of those against, the Panthers, await in a Week 18 home matchup for Tampa Bay that presents a chance for the Bucs to still win the division, with a Week 18 win coupled with a Falcons loss in one of the next two games.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Four grabs against Cards

    Higgins caught four of five targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 37-14 win over Arizona.

    The 26-year-old wideout fell one yard shy of Ja'Marr Chase for the team lead, but his teammate bolstered his production with two TDs. Higgins has missed two of the last five games due to concussion issues, and on the season he's posted a 53-779-10 line on 89 targets through 14 contests. He needs one more touchdown to set a new career high, a mark he'll look to reach in Week 18 against the Browns.

  • Jaguars' Parker Washington: Turns 10 targets into 115 yards

    Washington caught eight of 10 targets for 115 yards and rushed once for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.

    Washington led the Jaguars in receiving yards on 10 targets for the second time in as many weeks. He has drawn double-digit targets four times this season and remains a key receiver for Trevor Lawrence, even with Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas both healthy. Washington will look to keep his late-season surge going in Week 18 against the Titans as the Jaguars try to clinch the AFC South.

  • Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN

    Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Hauls in two TDs in rout

    Chase caught seven of nine targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Cardinals.

    Both scores came in the first half, as Chase connected with Joe Burrow for a 13-yard TD in the first quarter and an eight-yard strike in the second. Chase snapped a seven-game touchdown drought with the performance, and on the season he's racked up a 117-1,316-7 line on 175 targets, tying his career high in target volume. Chase will look to reach 1,400 receiving yards for the third time in his career in Week 18 against the Browns.

  • Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Career-high yardage in loss

    McMillan secured seven of nine targets for 114 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    McMillan stepped up in a critical game for the Buccaneers, co-leading the team in receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards and targets. The second-year wideout's yardage tally was also a new career high, and it came in only his third game following a very delayed season debut due to a serious neck injury. McMillan could play a key role again in a Week 18 home matchup against the Panthers that presents a chance for the Bucs to still win the division, with a Week 18 win coupled with a Falcons loss in one of the next two games.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Finds end zone in Week 17 loss

    Wilson caught five of 10 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Bengals.

    Marvin Harrison (heel) left the game early, leaving Wilson as Jacoby Brissett's clear top option at wide receiver once again. The 2023 third-round pick responded by extending his TD streak to four games, hauling in a 38-yard score in the second quarter. Over that four-game stretch, Wilson's delivered an impressive 23-337-5 line on 40 targets. With the Cardinals having little incentive to put Harrison back on the field in the season finale, Wilson figures to be busy again in Week 18 against the Rams.

  • Dolphins' Cedrick Wilson: Makes one catch in Week 17 win

    Wilson secured one of two targets for eight yards during Miami's 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Wilson saw an opportunity to handle increased opportunities on offense versus Tampa Bay, as Jaylen Waddle was kept on the sideline between the middle of the second quarter and end of the third quarter due to a ribs injury. Across nine regular-season appearances, Wilson has now compiled five catches for 44 yards on seven targets. He stands to close out the year in his usual reserve role at wide receiver as the Dolphins prepare for a Week 18 regular-season finale at New England.
