  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Leads Lions in receiving yards

    Williams recorded five receptions (on nine targets) for 70 yards in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers.

    Williams tied for second on the team with nine targets, as there was plenty of opportunity for all of Detroit's pass catchers due to Jared Goff taking to the air 54 times. Williams was quiet for much of the game, though he logged a pair of 21-yard receptions and served as the Lions' primary deep threat as they attempted a dramatic comeback late in the fourth quarter. Williams took a slight step back relative to his recent performances, but he has at least 70 receiving yards in six of eight games while also recording five touchdowns since the team's bye in Week 8.

  • Christian Kirk WR | HOU

    Texans' Christian Kirk: Re-emerges with 37 yards Sunday

    Kirk (illness) had three receptions on five targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over Las Vegas.

    Kirk overcame an illness during the practice week in order to suit up for Sunday's narrow victory over the lowly Raiders. The veteran wideout had seen his role reduced to dust in recent weeks, so it was an encouraging sign to see the slot extraordinaire reintegrated into the offense after recording just one catch over his last three appearances. Fantasy managers will still find it hard to trust Kirk in Week 17 given his recent struggles and low upside as part of Houston's ball-control offense.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Strong production in loss

    Sutton recorded six receptions on 12 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars.

    Sutton was unsurprisingly Bo Nix's favorite target, which allowed him to reach double-digit opportunities for the third straight week. He got involved early in the game, logging long receptions of 17 and 14 yards on Denver's second possession before catching a 15-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. While Sutton was quiet for most of the game thereafter, he has a touchdown or 100 receiving yards in four straight contests.

  • Tre Tucker WR | LV

    Raiders' Tre Tucker: Garners six touches in loss

    Tucker brought in four of five targets for 43 yards and took two carries for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-21 loss to Houston.

    Tucker bounced back nicely from last week's zero-catch effort with modest contributions as both a runner and receiver against the Texans. The Raiders welcomed back QB Geno Smith (shoulder/back) from a one-game absence, which turned out to be great news for Tucker, who has proven to be one of the veteran quarterback's favorite targets this season. The third-year wideout may have also benefited from Tyler Lockett's (wrist) early departure from Sunday's contest. If the latter is forced to miss Week 17 action, then fantasy managers can expect Tucker to continue leading a young, inexperienced receiving corps against the Giants next Sunday.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Patriots' Mack Hollins: Strong PPR outing Sunday

    Hollins had seven receptions on nine targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over Baltimore.

    Hollins turned in a fine PPR performance on Sunday Night Football while tying his previous season high of seven receptions. The enigmatic wideout has carved out a solid role with the Patriots of late, averaging 50.8 receiving yards per game over his last 10 appearances. Hollins has recorded zero touchdown receptions over that span, effectively limiting his utility to deep and PPR fantasy leagues. The 31-year-old should continue offering managers in those formats a high floor in Week 17, when the Patriots visit the Jets.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Solid showing marred by fumble

    Flowers recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Patriots. He added one rush for 18 yards and one touchdown.

    Flowers had one of his better showings of the season, as he topped 100 yards from scrimmage for only the third time in 15 games. He was particularly involved as a pass catcher early in the contest -- before Lamar Jackson exited with a back injury -- logging receptions of 19 and 18 yards on Baltimore's first possession before chipping in a 14-yard catch on the team's second drive. Flowers also found the end zone for the second consecutive game on a 14-yard end-around late in the third quarter. Despite turning in one of his more productive games of the season, Flowers' effort was overshadowed by a lost fumble late in the game that helped New England clinch the win.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Explodes for 138 yards on SNF

    Diggs recorded nine receptions on 10 targets for 138 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens.

    Diggs ended his recent dry spell with his fourth 100-plus yard game of the season. The veteran receiver nearly doubled his entire production (72 yards, zero TDs) from his last three contests combined with Sunday's monster output. Diggs upped his season receiving line to 76-869-3, putting him in a realistic position to record his first 1,000-yard season since he was a member of the Bills in 2023. The wideout's next opportunity to work on that achievement will come in a road tilt against the Jets next Sunday.

  • Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Sustains head injury

    Boutte (head) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Boutte was injured in the fourth quarter. To add insult to injury, he bobbled the ball on the play, allowing the Baltimore defender to knock away what would have been a long catch as the pair of players went to the ground. Prior to the injury, Boutte caught one of three targets for 16 yards.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Held to 54 yards

    St. Brown recorded four receptions on nine targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers.

    St. Brown remained involved in the Detroit offense, though his nine targets were a modest total given that Jared Goff took to the air 54 times. He was also inefficient with his opportunities by hauling in fewer than half of his targets for only the second time this season. It was nearly a bigger game for St. Brown, as he appeared to have a one-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter, only to have the score nullified by an offensive pass interference penalty. St. Brown will be in for another tough matchup in Week 17 against the Vikings.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: One catch vs. Tampa Bay

    Legette caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

    The second-year pro has now caught just seven of 13 targets for 74 yards over Carolina's last four contests. He appears to have been passed by Jalen Coker in the Panthers' receiving corps, as the latter has tallied 213 yards and two touchdowns on 14 receptions during that span. Legette remains Carolina's second-leading receiver on the season with 338 yards across 13 appearances, but he's unlikely to carry much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.
