  • Khadarel Hodge WR | ATL

    Falcons' KhaDarel Hodge: Another quiet outing

    Hodge caught his only target for five yards during Sunday's 29-10 win over the Colts.

    Hodge has caught exactly one pass in three straight games, totaling 33 receiving yards during that stretch. Hodge has been playing around 20 offensive snaps per game since Atlanta's Week 11 bye, but he's not producing enough to crack fantasy relevance.

  • Justin Watson WR | HOU

    Chiefs' Justin Watson: Gets into end zone in Week 16 loss

    Watson caught four of six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 20-14 loss to the Raiders.

    His seven-yard TD grab late in the fourth quarter gave Kansas City a shot at stealing the win, but the defense couldn't get a stop on Las Vegas' ensuing possession. Watson has only three touchdowns on the season, but all three have come in the last six games, as he's established a little trust with Patrick Mahomes. The 27-year-old wideout has already put together a career-best campaign with 26 catches (on 49 targets) for 419 yards.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Raiders' Davante Adams: Quiet performance in Week 16

    Adams gathered in just one of six targets for four yards during Monday's 20-14 win in Kansas City.

    Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed had the unenviable task of covering Adams, and the result was the wide receiver's quietest outing of the season. It was a far cry from the 8-101-1 line on 12 targets that Adams put together in a Week 15 win against the Chargers, and he also remains 28 yards shy of his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard campaign with two games to play in the regular season. He'll look to get back on track Sunday at Indianapolis.

  • Rashee Rice WR | KC

    Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Sets franchise record Monday

    Rice caught six of 12 targets for 57 yards in Monday's 20-14 loss to the Raiders.

    The rookie saw a season high in targets and led Kansas City in catches and receiving yards, but Patrick Mahomes didn't have enough time in the pocket to let many downfield routes develop for Rice. The wideout still hauled in enough passes to set a new franchise rookie record for receptions in a season, with his 74 (and counting) surpassing Dwayne Bowe's 70 catches from 2007. Rice also has 811 yards, giving him an outside chance at breaking Bowe's record of 995 from that same season, but he'll need a big performance Week 17 against the Bengals to do it.

  • Ravens' Laquon Treadwell: Elevated for Monday's game

    Treadwell has been elevated to the Ravens' active roster for Monday's game against the 49ers.

    Treadwell is being elevated for a third and final time, meaning in order for him to appear in another game with Baltimore the team will have to sign him to the 53-man roster. The veteran hasn't played since Week 5, and he wasn't targeted in either of his other appearances with Baltimore this year. Zay Flowers (foot) is questionable for Monday's game, while starters Rashod Bateman and Odell Beckham are both fully available for the Ravens.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Jets' Allen Lazard: Minimal usage in Week 16 win

    Lazard didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Commanders.

    Lazard was on the field for only 27 percent of offensive snaps while Jason Brownlee (82 percent) saw most of the playing time opposite Garrett Wilson (96 percent). Lazard hasn't topped 21 receiving yards in a game since Week 8, and his modest usage will make it tough to bounce back Thursday in Cleveland.

  • Xavier Gipson WR | NYG

    Jets' Xavier Gipson: One catch, one carry in win

    Gipson caught one of two targets for one yard and added a 16-yard run in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Commanders.

    Gipson also returned three kickoffs for 82 yards and added a nine-yard punt return. The undrafted rookie out of Stephen F. Austin has worked as a slot receiver and gadget player on offense in the second half of the season while maintaining his role as the return man on special teams. Gipson has logged multiple touches in each of the last five games, but he's finished with more than three touches only once this season.

  • Jets' Jason Brownlee: Scores first TD in Week 16 win

    Brownlee caught one of three targets for an eight-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Commanders.

    Brownlee put the Jets up 10-0 just 3:34 into the game with his first NFL touchdown. The undrafted rookie out of Southern Miss played 82 percent of offensive snaps in his return from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury, and Brownlee likely will remain in a starting role on the outside opposite Garrett Wilson against the Browns on Thursday.

  • Giants' Parris Campbell: Takes seat Monday

    Campbell (coach's decision) is inactive Monday against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Campbell will be a healthy scratch for the second consecutive week, as Sterling Shepard has secured the No. 5 spot on the team's receiver depth chart, and Gunner Olszewski has taken over return duties. The Ohio State product will have another chance to crack the active roster on gameday in Week 17 against the Rams.

  • Isaiah Hodgins WR | NYG

    Giants' Isaiah Hodgins: Will play Monday

    Hodgins (illness) is active Monday against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Hodgins fell ill Sunday, prompting his late addition to the team's injury report a day ahead of their Week 16 divisional clash. However, the 25-year-old has made enough progress in the last 24 hours that he'll take the field and work to contribute in the passing game from the lower end of the Giants' wide receiver depth chart.
