Jackson Hawes TE | BUF
Bills' Jackson Hawes: Catches two passes vs. Cleveland
Hawes caught both of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.
The rookie from Georgia Tech logged 32 offensive snaps and played more than Dalton Kincaid (19 snaps), but that was likely a product of Buffalo's run-heavy game script while playing from ahead during Sunday's win. Hawes has now caught 15 of 18 targets for 187 yards and three touchdowns across 15 appearances this season. He's expected to remain a depth option in the Bills' tight-end corps in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Dawson Knox TE | BUF
Bills' Dawson Knox: Just one catch in Week 16
Knox caught one of two targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.
The 29-year-old logged 34 offensive snaps and played over both Dalton Kincaid (19 snaps) and Jackson Hawes (32 snaps) during Sunday's win. Knox has been an important part of the Bills' passing attack over the last five contests, catching 16 of 21 targets for 185 yards and two touchdowns during that span. He's expected to operate as Buffalo's No. 2 tight end in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

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.
-
Ray Davis RB | BUF
Bills' Ray Davis: More involved in Week 16
Davis rushed three times for 14 yards and caught both of his targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns. He also returned four kickoffs for 92 yards.
Davis' five offensive touches during Sunday's win were the most he's received since the Bills' Week 13 win over the Steelers. Despite this, the Kentucky product played just eight offensive snaps, suggesting he remains behind both James Cook and Ty Johnson in Buffalo's backfield. Davis has now tallied 837 kickoff-return yards, 120 rushing yards and 51 receiving yards through the Bills' first 15 games this season. He's expected to remain one of the league's premier return men in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
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.
-
Quintin Morris TE | JAC
Jaguars' Quintin Morris: One catch in win
Morris caught his lone target for five yards during Sunday's 34-20 win against the Broncos.
The 26-year-old continues to operate as Jacksonville's No. 3 tight end, playing 19 offensive snaps compared to Brenton Strange's 52 and Johnny Mundt's 25 in Sunday's win. Morris has caught five passes for 50 yards through 12 games this season, with all of those receptions coming in the past six contests.
-
Dontayvion Wicks WR | PHI
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.
-
Luke Musgrave TE | GB
Packers' Luke Musgrave: Remains involved Saturday
Musgrave caught all three of his targets for 38 yards during Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears.
The third-year pro from Oregon State tallied the second-most receiving yards on the Packers during Saturday's loss, trailing Romeo Doubs (5-84-1). Musgrave's role in Green Bay's offense may be growing, as he's caught seven of nine targets for 90 yards over the last two games. However, he likely won't have much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Ravens, especially with injuries to both Jordan Love (concussion) and Malik Willis (shoulder).
