Mingo caught one of four targets for two yards in a 27-20 win over the Giants on Thanksgiving.

The 2023 second-round pick hasn't found any more success so far in Dallas than he'd seen in Carolina. Mingo has received 10 targets in three games since being traded to the Cowboys, but he's caught only two of them for 10 yards. He's at best fifth on the wideout depth chart, competing for snaps with Jalen Brooks and Ryan Flournoy, and there's little reason to expect he'll show up on the fantasy radar over the final weeks of the season.

Turpin caught four of five targets for 53 yards in a 27-20 win over the Giants on Thanksgiving. He added two rushing yards on his lone carry.

With CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) sitting out most of the second half, Turpin wound up leading the Cowboys in receiving yards, although Luke Schoonmaker hauled in one more pass. Turpin's five touches and five targets were his highest totals since Week 6, but with Brandin Cooks now off IR, the third-year player could see his usage on offense dwindle once Lamb is healthy. Turpin will remain Dallas' top kick returner regardless, a role in which he's racked up 903 return yards and two touchdowns in 2024.

Gipson caught his only target for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks. He also returned two kickoffs for 81 yards and added a punt return for no gain.

Gipson played just 19 snaps on offense compared to Malachi Corley's 41, suggesting that Corley has surpassed Gipson as the Jets' preferred option in the slot. While Gipson remained involved as a return man on special teams, he also faces increased competition for that role, as Kene Nwangwu logged three kickoff returns in his Jets debut Sunday, one of which went for a 99-yard touchdown.

Corley didn't catch either of his two targets and added an eight-yard run in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.

Corley played 41 snaps on offense (60 percent) to Xavier Gipson's 19, suggesting that the rookie third-round pick has become the Jets' preferred option in the slot for the stretch run. While the increased playing time is encouraging, Corley has yet to capitalize. He has just 42 career scrimmage yards, and Corley's most notable play to date was an 18-yard run on which he celebrated prematurely and threw the ball away just before crossing the goal line back in Week 9.

Wayne was not targeted over 16 snaps in Sunday's 23-20 win over Jacksonville in Week 13.

Wayne, who made his NFL debut, was elevated from the practice squad to occupy a spot at the back end of the depth chart with Xavier Hutchinson (shoulder) inactive. His 16 snaps were the fewest among the wideouts.

Woods did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 13. He returned two punts for 13 yards.

Woods, who was on the field for 21 offensive snaps, continued to fill a depth role and has just two targets since Nico Collins returned from IR. As a returner, Woods leads the team with a combined 248 yards on punts (four returns) and kickoffs (14).

Metchie caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Jacksonville in Week 13.

Metchie operated as the third wideout but had little impact, although one of his targets did come in the red zone. Xavier Hutchinson (shoulder) was inactive, and his workload was distributed among Metchie (31 snaps), Robert Woods (21) and Jared Wayne (16). The passing game played out as it has the last few weeks, with Nico Collins (11 targets), Dalton Schultz (seven) and Tank Dell (four) being the main components. Metchie had a recent bump in activity, but that appears to have dimmed since Collins returned from a stint on the IR due to a hamstring injury.

Boyd recorded three receptions on four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the Commanders.

Boyd finished fifth on the team with four targets, with his longest catch going for 16 yards. He continues to have consistent involvement in the Tennessee offense with at least three targets in all but three games on the campaign. However, Boyd has topped 40 yards just twice and has yet to find the end zone.

Ridley recorded two receptions on seven targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the Commanders.

Ridley had been on a strong run of production, though this performance was reminiscent of his struggles earlier in the campaign. He struggled to get on the same page as Will Levis on both long and short-distance targets, with his only catches going for 30 and 15 yards. Positively, Ridley continues to get plenty of opportunities, as he now has at least seven targets in six of his last eight contests.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded three receptions on eight targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the Commanders.

Westbrook-Ikhine enjoyed the benefits of Will Levis taking to the air a season-high 37 times by recording his highest target total of the campaign. He struggled to convert that into receptions, though he was impactful with his catches by tallying a pair of scores from 27 and 17 yards. Westbrook-Ikhine now has 10 touchdowns on only 23 receptions, an unsustainable pace. On the other hand, he has found the end zone eight times in his last eight games.
