Wilson gathered in four of six targets for 35 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 35-31 victory at Philadelphia.

Since sitting out Weeks 11-13 due to a neck injury, Wilson wasn't on the same page with Kyler Murray over the previous two games, failing to record a catch on seven targets. While he wasn't exactly efficient with his looks Sunday (5.8 YPT), Wilson got back in the end zone for the first time since Week 4 on a five-yard touchdown with 5:26 remaining in the contest. He'll aim to keep things up Week 18 against the Seahawks.

Higgins (hamstring) has returned to Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Higgins previously left the contest with a left hamstring injury, but the wideout was able to return to action in the third quarter. Prior to his earlier departure versus Kansas City, Higgins had caught his only target for 19 yards.

Meyers caught six of 10 targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Colts.

Davante Adams monopolized the attention of rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell on the afternoon, but Meyers finished second on the Raiders in catches, targets and receiving yards. It's the first time the fifth-year wideout had seen double-digit targets since Week 7, and Meyers is just within striking distance of a new career high if he's able to produce 121 receiving yards in Week 18 against the Broncos -- a secondary he lit up for a 9-81-2 line in their first meeting this season way back in Week 1.

Collins recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans. He added one rush for seven yards.

Collins was one of the few Texans' pass catchers to remain healthy throughout the game, as the team lost both Robert Woods (hip) and Noah Brown (hip) during Sunday's win. As a result, Collins saw plenty of work, though game script ultimately limited him to only two targets across the final two quarters of the contest. Houston will be in for a key matchup against the Jaguars in Week 18, and Collins could be relied upon very heavily depending on the health of Brown and Woods.

Brown finished with four receptions on five targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to Arizona.

Brown finished as the Eagles' leading receiver after DeVonta Smith (foot) held that honor by one yard over Brown in last week's win over the Giants. Philadelphia's entire passing attack posted low-volume numbers Sunday, resulting in a pedestrian fantasy score for Brown's managers. The star wideout could be in store for a bump in usage this upcoming week against the Giants after the aforementioned Smith was seen using crutches after injuring his right foot late in Sunday's loss.

Adams caught 13 of 21 targets for 126 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Colts.

The wideout was by far Aidan O'Connell's favorite target on the afternoon, as Jakobi Meyers was a distant second on the Raiders with a 6-56-0 line on 10 targets. Adams has topped the century mark in yards and gotten into the end zone in two of the last three games, and the late-season surge has left him just two catches short of his fifth career campaign with 100 receptions and 1,000 receiving yards. While his future with the Raiders remains uncertain and the team has been eliminated from the postseason, expect Adams to at least play enough in Week 18 against the Broncos to reach that milestone.

Downs caught two passes for 52 yards on two targets in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Raiders.

Gardner Minshew threw only 20 targeted passes Sunday, so Downs' usage was quite low despite the impressive explosiveness. Downs tends to line up in the slot for Indianapolis, and the Raiders' best corner is slot man Nate Hobbs, so it makes sense that the rookie would struggle to get open consistently in this setting. His Week 18 matchup with Houston might be a more favorable matchup, though the Colts' run-heavy offense tends to leave little for Downs and Alec Pierce after WR1 Michael Pittman gets his targets.

Davis caught two passes for 21 yards on three targets in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Patriots.

New England's defensive game plan had the entire Bills offense in a difficult spot, with Josh Allen producing just 169 yards and one interception through the air and the leading rusher (James Cook) held to 48 yards. Perhaps the Bills would have thrown with more urgency if the Patriots offense had proved more threatening, but in this game the Buffalo defense did most of the necessary lifting, producing four turnovers and scoring on one. A road game against Miami in Week 18 could require more passing from Buffalo, and perhaps with that Davis might find more opportunity than he did against New England on Sunday.

Diggs caught four of seven targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Patriots. He added five rushing yards on one carry.

The wideout tied Dalton Kincaid for the team lead in targets and catches, but it was the rookie tight end who paced the Bills in receiving yards. Diggs has all but vanished since Buffalo's Week 13 bye, managing just a 17-127-0 line on 31 targets over the last four games, but Sunday's carry -- his first of the season -- at least offers some faint hope that the coaching staff is trying to find ways to get the ball in his hands. Diggs will get one more chance to break out of his slump in Week 18 against a Miami secondary he torched for 120 yards and three TDs in their first meeting this season.

Samuel recorded five receptions on six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Commanders. He also had three carries for 35 yards.

Samuel was overshadowed by Brandon Aiyuk as a receiver, though he tallied the 49ers' first touchdown of the game with a two-yard reception. He was otherwise limited to low-impact gains, resulting in a relatively muted stat line and his third straight game with fewer than 50 receiving yards. Samuel and the other 49ers starters may not see much of the field in Week 18 against the Rams, as the team has locked in the top seed in the NFC.
