  • Isaac TeSlaa WR | DET

    Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Productive in loss to Pittsburgh

    TeSlaa caught four of seven targets for 52 yards and one touchdown in the Lions' 29-24 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

    TeSlaa entered Week 16 having seen 15 targets all season, so seven easily marked a new single-game high for the rookie wideout. His seven targets were fourth on the team on a day Jared Goff dropped back to pass 57 times with the Lions in comeback mode much of the afternoon. TeSlaa now has a touchdown in three of the last four games but will be difficult to get behind as a fantasy starter on Christmas Day against the Vikings.

  • Jaguars' Parker Washington: Career-best performance

    Washington recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 145 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Broncos.

    Washington has been a reliable target for Trevor Lawrence for most of the season, but he stepped up as the team's top pass catcher in Sunday's win. His longest gain of the day came late in the third quarter, when he caught a short pass and then split a pair of defenders before cutting upfield for 63 yards. Washington also chipped in additional long gains of 24, 21 and 20 yards on top of a 12-yard touchdown to record his highest yardage total in a matchup. He now has at least 70 receiving yards in three of his last seven games while scoring three times in that span.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Makes most of decreased role

    Wilson finished with two receptions on three targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 loss to Atlanta.

    WR Marvin Harrison (heel) returned to the starting lineup in Week 16 and pushed Wilson back into his usual No. 2 role on offense. The former saw only three targets in his return to the field while backup TE Elijah Higgins (7-91-0) surprisingly finished as Arizona's leading receiver Sunday. Wilson -- who was averaging 15.0 targets in games Harrison has missed this year -- made the most of his reduced opportunities by scoring a touchdown in the first quarter with the assistance of replay review. The 25-year-old Wilson's three targets are a concerning sign looking forward because the wideout has struggled to find the end zone with just two TDs (including Sunday's) in games Harrison has been active for. Wilson's upside takes a huge hit for Week 17, but he is still producing enough alongside Harrison to warrant starting consideration against the Bengals next Sunday.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Inefficient outing Sunday

    Collins had four receptions on nine targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders.

    Collins finished as Houston's leading receiver on a team-high nine targets, but his production was muted by his worst catch rate (44 percent) since Week 10. The star wideout failed to take advantage of a soft matchup against the Raiders in a contest that wound up being much closer than many had anticipated. Collins had been on a three-game heater (12-304-2) prior to Sunday's pedestrian results, so fantasy managers in the thick of the playoff schedule are hoping for a bounce-back effort against the Chargers on Saturday.

  • Emeka Egbuka WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Big gain on one catch Sunday

    Egbuka brought in one of two targets for 40 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Egbuka needed just his one catch to secure the team lead in receiving yards on a day when Baker Mayfield was under the 200-yard mark for the third time in four games. Despite the splash play, fantasy managers have to be disappointed with Egbuka's stretch-run swoon, considering he's been at 42 receiving yards or fewer in five of the last six contests. Egbuka will be a relatively risky option on championship week for many fantasy leagues despite his favorable matchup against the Dolphins on the road next Sunday.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Does little with five catches

    Godwin brought in five of six targets for 30 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Godwin was able to draw even with Mike Evans for the team lead in receptions and was second to his teammate in targets, but he once again was contained to a very modest yardage total. Godwin has eclipsed 55 receiving yards just once in seven games, making him a risky fantasy proposition in a Week 17 road matchup against the Dolphins despite the favorable matchup.

  • Pat Bryant WR | DEN

    Broncos' Pat Bryant: Hurt on big hit

    Bryant (undisclosed) was carted off the field late in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.

    Bryant remained down on the field after taking a big hit (which was ruled clean) from a defender in the final minute. Prior to getting injured, Bryant caught five of eight targets for 42 yards. The exact nature of Bryant's injury has yet to be revealed, but James Palmer of The Athletic reports that Bryant left the stadium in an ambulance, so the rookie wide receiver's chances of suiting up Thursday against the Chiefs appear slim.

  • Chimere Dike WR | TEN

    Titans' Chimere Dike: Snags fourth receiving TD of season

    Dike caught three of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-9 win over Kansas City. He added 145 yards on five kickoff and three punt returns.

    The rookie slot receiver and return star scored his third receiving TD in the last five games, and fourth of the season, on a one-yard connection with Cam Ward in the third quarter. Dike has added two punt-return scores to his ledger in 2025, and his 2,269 all-purpose yards through 15 games leads the NFL by a wide margin. Dike will look to pad his totals in Week 17 against the Saints.

  • Elic Ayomanor WR | TEN

    Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Leading receiver in Week 16 win

    Ayomanor caught three of four targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 26-9 win over Kansas City.

    While the production was modest, Ayomanor led the Titans in receiving yards while catching more than two passes for the first time since Week 9. With Cam Ward beginning to assert himself, the Tennessee passing attack has a little more upside than it did to begin the season, but Ayomanor's 34-428-3 line on 72 targets over 14 games won't make him an appealing fantasy option in Week 17 against the Saints.

  • Mike Evans WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Gets into end zone Sunday

    Evans secured five of nine targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Evans appeared to be on his way to a big day when he hauled in a one-yard scoring pass with just over four minutes remaining in the first quarter, but he was relatively contained the rest of the afternoon. His day also closed out on a sour note, as Scott Smith of the team's official site reports Evans misread Baker Mayfield's intentions on a fourth-quarter pass that resulted in a game-sealing interception for Carolina. The Buccaneers still have a chance to win the NFC South by prevailing in their final two contests, however, so Evans will be locked in during a Week 17 road matchup against a beatable Dolphins secondary.
