Noel caught three of four targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers in Week 17. He also had one carry for two yards.

It was a big day for Houston's rookie wideouts, as both Noel and Jayden Higgins scored on the team's first two possessions. With Los Angeles' defense paying extra attention to Nico Collins, Noel was one-on-one and beat Elijah Molden deep on a post route for a 43-yard score. It was the second touchdown of the season for the rookie, whose inconsistent production from week to week makes him a hard start for fantasy managers. Noel has seven receptions on 10 targets for 82 yards over the last seven games.

Kirk caught two of five targets for one yard in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers in Week 17.

Kirk led the Texans in targets, but it didn't translate to meaningful production, and his 29 snaps the fourth most among the team's wideouts. His profile in the offense was minimized weeks ago, as rookie Jayden Higgins moved ahead of Kirk, who has been dogged by injuries in 2025. Houston's shift to a ball-control attack also played a role in minimizing Kirk's output. He has just 44 receiving yards over the last five games.

Reed recorded four receptions on four targets for 41 yards in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens.

Reed finished second on the team with four targets, though the majority of that opportunity came in short areas of the field. The exception was a deep target down the right sideline that went for 30 yards early in the third quarter, ultimately helping to set up a field goal for the Packers. While Reed plays an important role in the offense, he's been held below 50 yards from scrimmage in three of four games since recovering from a collarbone injury.

Doubs recorded three receptions on three targets for 62 yards in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens.

Doubs wasn't prioritized among the Packers' pass catchers, as he was one of five pass catchers with at least three targets. He was efficient with his opportunity thanks primarily to a 40-yard reception midway through the first quarter, Green Bay's longest play from scrimmage. Doubs has at least 60 yards in consecutive games, the first time he's accomplished that feat this season.

Flowers recorded four receptions on five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 41-24 win over the Packers.

The Ravens took to the air only 20 times and limited most of those attempts to short areas of the field. That held back all of their pass catchers, though Flowers made the most of his opportunity to lead the team in receptions and yards. He also found the end zone for the third straight game after making a 10-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter.

Watson recorded five receptions on six targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens.

Watson has been limited by his own injuries and the absence of Jordan Love (concussion) in recent weeks. However, he was the primary driver of the team's offense through the air in Saturday's loss while surpassing 100 receiving yards for the first time since Week 14 of the 2024 season. Watson logged long receptions of 39, 31 and 23 yards, the longest of which went for a score early in the first quarter. Watson has logged at least 80 receiving yards in three of his last five contests and should be Green Bay's most productive receiver so long as he can remain on the field.

Harrison (heel) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, but he's expected to play and is likely to have his snaps managed for the second straight contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Harrison had missed four of the Cardinals' five games between Weeks 11 and 15 -- two due to an appendectomy, two due to a heel injury -- before he was cleared to return to action in last Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons. However, Harrison played just 51 percent of the offensive snaps in the loss, turning in a disappointing 1-14-0 receiving line on three targets. Harrison looks to have avoided any setbacks coming out of that contest, but he'll once again be carrying a designation into the weekend after he was a limited participant in all three of the Cardinals' Week 17 practices. Harrison should be cleared when Arizona releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but the likelihood that he has his snaps monitored again probably limits his fantasy appeal relative to the Cardinals' other top pass catchers, tight end Trey McBride and wideout Michael Wilson.

Wicks (concussion) will not return to Saturday night's game against the Ravens.

Wicks exited the game just ahead of halftime after catching his lone target for seven yards. With Wicks done for the night, Matthew Golden and Bo Melton are next up for wideout snaps behind Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson and Jayden Reed.

Wicks exited Saturday night's game against the Ravens with a head injury and is questionable to return.

Wicks is undergoing concussion evaluation just before halftime. Prior to exiting, Wicks caught his lone target in the passing game for a gain of seven yards. Matthew Golden and Bo Melton would be in line for additional playing time while Wicks is sidelined.

Collins recorded three receptions on four targets for 57 yards in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.

The Texans accounted for most of their offensive production on two deep touchdown passes on their first two possessions, and Collins wasn't on the receiving end of either. He was one of five Houston pass catchers to earn at least four targets, as C.J. Stroud distributed targets evenly to his skill-position players. The end result was that Collins turned in a modest 57 yards, his second consecutive game with under 60 receiving yards.
