  • Isaiah Hodgins WR | NYG

    Giants' Isaiah Hodgins: No targets vs. Minnesota

    Hodgins played 15 of the Giants' 48 offensive snaps but wasn't targeted during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.

    Despite playing the third-most snaps among Giants wideouts during Sunday's loss, the 27-year-old wasn't targeted. Hodgins' role on the Giants' offense appears to have diminished over the past three games, as he's caught two of three targets for just eight yards during that span. He's expected to carry minimal fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Raiders.

  • Rashod Bateman WR | BAL

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Doesn't catch pass in SNF loss

    Bateman failed to reel in either of his two targets in Sunday night's 28-24 loss to the Patriots.

    Bateman missed the previous game with an ankle injury but returned to his clear WR2 role behind Zay Flowers against New England. However, Bateman's two targets were three fewer than DeAndre Hopkins, despite Bateman out-snapping Hopkins 38 to 20. After an impressive 2024 season that saw Bateman post a 45-756-9 receiving line, he's caught more than two passes in a game just once this season with a total of two touchdowns.

  • Tyler Johnson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Tyler Johnson: One catch in Week 16

    Johnson caught his lone target for seven yards during Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

    After being a healthy scratch in the Jets' last two contests, Johnson played nine offensive snaps during Sunday's loss. In 11 games this season, the Minnesota product has caught 11 of 17 targets for 194 yards and a touchdown. He's expected to remain a minimal portion of the Jets' offensive game plan in the Week 17 matchup against the Patriots.

  • Tyrell Shavers WR | BUF

    Bills' Tyrell Shavers: Logs 21 yards in win

    Shavers caught one of two targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

    Shavers recorded the third-most receiving yards on the Bills during Sunday's win and has now played at least 50 percent of the team's offensive snaps in four consecutive contests. In 15 appearances this season, the San Diego State product has caught 13 of 20 targets for 209 yards and one touchdown. He's expected to remain one of Buffalo's top wideouts in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Bills' Joshua Palmer: Targeted once vs. Cleveland

    Palmer caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

    Since returning from injury in the Bills' Week 15 win over the Patriots, Palmer has caught two of three targets for just 18 yards. However, he's played the third-most offensive snaps (58) among Buffalo wideouts during that span, trailing Khalil Shakir (72) and Tyrell Shavers (64). Palmer likely won't carry much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles, despite his role.

  • Brandin Cooks WR | BUF

    Bills' Brandin Cooks: No catches again Sunday

    Cooks didn't catch his lone target during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

    Cooks has gone without a catch in each of the Bills' last three games, despite playing 59 offensive snaps during that span. The veteran wideout has appeared in 14 games with Buffalo and New Orleans this season, catching 20 of 30 targets for 178 yards. He's expected to remain a minimal portion of the Bills' offensive game plan in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

  • Packers' Matthew Golden: Minimal usage in loss

    Golden rushed twice for four yards and didn't catch his lone target during Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears.

    Golden has now logged just one target in two of the Packers' last three games. He played 22 offensive snaps during Saturday's loss, trailing Jayden Reed (45), Christian Watson (43), Romeo Doubs (43) and Dontayvion Wicks (30). Golden, a 2025 first-round pick from Texas, has had an underwhelming start to his NFL career, catching 27 of 38 targets for 341 yards and rushing 10 times for 49 yards across 12 contests. He likely won't carry much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Ravens, especially with the uncertainty surround Green Bay's quarterback situation stemming from both Jordan Love (concussion) and Malik Willis (shoulder) dealing with injuries.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Just two catches in Week 16

    Wicks caught both of his targets for 12 yards during Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears.

    Since Wicks' stellar Week 13 performance against the Lions (6-94-2), he's caught three of four targets for just 18 yards over the Packers' last three games. The Virginia product has flashed throughout the season, appearing in 13 contests and recording 325 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 29 receptions. He's expected to remain a depth option in Green Bay's receiving corps in the Week 17 matchup against the Ravens.

  • Dyami Brown WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Minimal role at Denver

    Brown wasn't targeted during Sunday's 34-20 win against the Broncos.

    Brown was active for a third straight game Sunday after being a healthy scratch Week 13, but he's now gone six straight contests without a reception. It would likely take multiple injuries to Jacksonville's receiving corps for the 26-year-old to reclaim a meaningful role in the passing game.

  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Four touches on offense Sunday

    Turpin gained 13 yards on two carries and caught two of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Chargers. He added 148 yards on six kickoff returns.

    The fourth-year return specialist continues to see a small but steady role in the Dallas offense. Turpin has gotten between three and five touches in each of the last five games, putting together 182 yards from scrimmage over that stretch, but his only touchdown of the season came back in Week 2.
