Olave secured eight of 11 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 34-26 win over the Titans on Sunday.

The stretch-run chemistry between rookie signal-caller Tyler Shough and Olave continued in fine fashion Sunday, with the latter leading the Saints in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Olave went in for his ninth touchdown of the season on a 19-yard grab early in the third quarter, and he eclipsed the century mark through the air for the third time on the campaign. Olave has at least six receptions and 85 receiving yards in three straight games and has already locked in his first 100-catch season ahead of a Week 18 road matchup against the Falcons.

Interim coach Mike McCoy said after Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Saints that Jefferson is done for the season due to the forearm injury he sustained in the contest, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Jefferson won't play in the Titans' season-finale against the Jaguars next weekend and could land on IR in order to free up a roster spot for the team. In his looming absence, Mason Kinsey and/or James Proche figure to handle added WR snaps behind Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike.

Diggs caught all six of his targets 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Jets.

Diggs did all his damage in the first half, working as the clear No. 1 option in a receiving corps depleted by the absences of Kayshon Boutte (concussion) and Mack Hollins (abdomen, IR). The 32-year-old Diggs has exceeded 100 receiving yards in consecutive games for the second time this season and has cracked the century mark five times as a member of the Patriots. He's 14 months removed from tearing the ACL in his right knee. New England needs a Week 18 win over the Dolphins and a Broncos loss to the Chargers for the Patriots to get the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a wild-card round bye.

Wease secured his only target for a 63-yard touchdown during Miami's 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Wease recorded Miami's longest play of the day, connecting deep down the left side of the field for rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers' first of two passing touchdowns near the end of the first quarter. The Dolphins signed Wease to the active roster from the practice squad in advance of Sunday's matchup, after having elevated him to make his regular-season debut versus Cincinnati in Week 16. The undrafted rookie out of Missouri will work to showcase his talents again in a difficult road matchup against the Patriots in Week 18.

Godwin brought in seven of eight targets for 108 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Godwin tied Jalen McMillan for the team lead in receptions -- one of them a five-yard touchdown grab to open the scoring in the first quarter -- while checking in as the runner-up to his teammate in both receiving yards and targets. The veteran wideout compiled more than half his yardage on a 59-yard catch-and-run play with just under two minutes remaining in the game. Godwin has at least five receptions in three of his last four games, and a similar caliber of production would be very welcome in a critical 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.

Waddle (ribs) could not secure his only target during Miami's 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He gained seven rushing yards on his only carry.

Waddle was forced out of Sunday's win midway through the second quarter due to a ribs injury and initially listed as questionable to return, prior to which he had logged his sole carry of the day. He retook the field late in the third quarter but failed to record any further statistics, beyond being targeted once for a short incompletion with just over five minutes remaining. The performance was crushing for fantasy mangers who trusted Waddle in a crucial matchup, though he had put up a respective 5-72-0 receiving line versus the Bengals in Week 16, a game which also saw Quinn Ewers line up under center. Waddle will have one last chance to display chemistry with Ewers during the Dolphins' regular-season finale on the road at New England in Week 18.

Harrison left Sunday's game in Cincinnati due to a heel injury.

Harrison sat out Weeks 14 and 15 due to a heel issue but has been able to suit up for both of the Cardinals' last two contests. Upon his departure in the fourth quarter this Sunday, he was unable to haul in his only target. For as long as Harrison is sidelined, Michael Wilson will continue to pace the team's receiving corps, with WRs Xavier Weaver, Jalen Brooks and Steven Sims the other available options at the position.

Davis is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

With Keon Coleman inactive, Buffalo's Week 17 WR corps will be comprised of Davis, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks. In four games thus far this season, Davis has caught seven of his 10 targets for 88 yards.

Coleman is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

With Coleman inactive, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks are slated to handle Buffalo's Week 17 wide-receiver duties.

Bech (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Bech popped up on Friday's injury report due to a back injury and has not been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. Bech's absence means Tyler Lockett, Alex Bachman and Dont'e Thornton are in line for larger roles on offense alongside Tre Tucker. With the Raiders eliminated from playoff contention, Bech's last opportunity to play this season is Week 18 against the Chiefs.
