Davis caught both of his targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the 40-7 win over the Patriots on Saturday. He also lost three yards on his only carry of the contest.

Davis opened the scoring on the afternoon with an impressive diving 27-yard catch on a beautifully thrown ball by Justin Herbert. It was Davis' second touchdown in as many weeks and comes despite the second-year wideout tallying 22 offensive snaps total over that stretch. The Chargers still have plenty to play for Week 18 in terms of playoff seeding, but it's possible Davis could see more playing time if the score gets out of hand against the lowly Raiders.

Corley sustained an elbow injury during Sunday's game at Buffalo, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Corley was forced out of Sunday's contest early, and he was unable to log any offensive snaps in Week 17. The Jets' first official practice report of the week Wednesday should provide some insight into his potential availability for Week 18 versus the Dolphins.

Gipson returned one kickoff for 25 yards and added two punt returns for 25 yards in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills.

Gipson played nine snaps on offense but didn't touch the ball. He has gone four games without a target or carry, and the second-year pro's only multi-catch performance of the season came back in Week 3. Gipson's a fantasy non-factor heading into the season finale against the Dolphins, outside of formats that reward return yards.

Lazard caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills.

Lazard didn't do a good job of working back to the ball on Aaron Rodgers' second interception, so the two former Packers each shoulder some of the blame for that turnover. The drop-prone wide receiver has caught only 34 of 57 targets this season, and Lazard hasn't scored since Week 6. A Week 18 tilt against the Dolphins will likely be his last game with the Jets -- there's an out in the four-year, $44 million overpay of a contract he signed prior to the 2023 season.

Bourne caught two of his four targets for 22 yards in Saturday's 40-7 loss to the Chargers.

Bourne, who was on the field for 38 of the Patriots' 53 snaps on offense Saturday, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, has caught two passes (for a total of 40 yards) in each of his last two contests. With that in mind, the veteran wideout brings modest fantasy upside into this Sunday's home game against the Bills, who are locked into the AFC's No. 2 playoff seed.

Franklin secured one of two targets for minus-1 yard in Saturday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Bengals.

Franklin was a complete non-factor in Saturday's contest, with his one catch and 33 percent snap share counting for his lowest totals in each category since Week 10. The rookie wideout is not being utilized consistently enough to be trusted for fantasy purposes, though he should continue to build upon his chemistry with college teammate Bo Nix and develop a larger role in the Broncos' offense going forward. Nevertheless, Franklin should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 18 matchup against Kansas City.

Vele caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Saturday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Bengals.

Vele caught just two passes for the second straight week despite playing the second-most offensive snaps (30) behind Courtland Sutton (56). In 12 appearances this season, the rookie wideout has recorded 37 catches on 51 targets for 425 yards and two touchdowns. Vele has proven to be a solid wide receiver in his first year, and his continued development will likely lead to him becoming a more consistent contributor in the Broncos' young receiver corps going forward. With that said, the Utah product remains a dicey start in a Week 18 matchup against the Chiefs based on his limited opportunities in Denver's offense.

Woods caught one of three targets for three yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Dolphins.

Woods was on the field for 86 percent of the offensive snaps, but once again, the playing time didn't translate into meaningful production. Since being signed to the active roster five games ago, Woods has operated as the de facto third wideout and played 83.1 percent of the snaps, but he has just seven catches on 18 targets for 65 yards.

Moore caught one of five targets for one yard in Sunday's 20-3 loss to Miami in Week 17.

Following a brief spasm of production in the middle of the season, when Jameis Winston took over as the starting quarterback, Moore has provided little of late. He's caught five of 15 targets for 21 yards over the last three games, with Dorian Thompson-Robinson atop the depth chart. The lack of production comes at a time when both Cedric Tillman (concussion) and David Njoku (knee) were inactive or limited by injury.

Mooney finished with two receptions on five targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Commanders.

Mooney failed to replicate last week's healthy receiving line in Sunday's narrow loss to Washington. The veteran wideout has alternated strong and poor fantasy scores in the five games since returning from Atlanta's Week 12 bye. Mooney did notch his second 1,000-yard season in Sunday's loss, and he should be a high-floor option in fantasy for Week 18 against the Panthers next Sunday.
