Agnew caught two of three targets for five yards, rushed once for two yards, returned three kickoffs for 131 yards and returned three punts for 23 yards during Saturday's 27-20 AFC divisional round loss to the Chiefs. He also lost a fumble.

The 27-year-old had a 63-yard kick return during the first quarter and also lost a fumble on a short reception during the third quarter. Jacksonville's revamped receiving corps this year meant Agnew had an infrequent role in the offense, and he never played more than 17 offensive snaps in any contest. He finished the campaign with 23 receptions for 187 yards and three touchdowns to go along with 12 rushes for 86 yards. Agnew's primary job was once again as a return man, and he averaged 26.0 yards per kick return and 8.2 yards per punt return. He's entering the final season of the three-year, $14.25 million contract he signed with Jacksonville back in 2021.

Mickens signed a reserve/future contract with the Giants on Sunday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Mickens joined the team's practice squad Dec. 14 and never played this season after he appeared in 11 games between the Jaguars and Buccaneers in 2021. The 28-year-old will work to earn an opportunity to carve out a role for himself in 2023.

Pimpleton signed a reserve/future contract with the Giants on Sunday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Pimpleton signed with the Giants' practice squad after failing to make the Lions' 53-man roster out of training camp. The Central Michigan product never appeared in a game this season but will work to earn that opportunity next season in New York.

Robinson (knee) said Sunday that he plans on being healthy for Week 1 of the 2023 regular season, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Robinson added that the ACL tear in his right knee was pretty clean, which gives the wideout optimism that he'll recover quickly. He's currently on crutches but said he'll get to ditch those next week. The second-round rookie was a solid contributor before suffering the injury in Week 11, totaling 23 receptions on 31 targets for 227 yards and one score across six appearances. If Robinson is healthy to start next season, he'll likely be a favorite to open the year as one of the Giants' top pass catchers.

Slayton brought in one of five targets for four yards in the Giants' 38-7 divisional-round loss to the Eagles on Saturday night.

A week after posting an impressive 88 receiving yards in a wild-card win over the Vikings, Slayton was nearly shut out altogether versus the suffocating Eagles defense. The quiet finish aside, Slayton appeared to be a good fit in coach Brian Daboll's offense, posting a solid 46-724-2 line on 71 targets across 16 games in the regular season while averaging a career-best 15.7 yards per reception. Slayton's speed and the fact he just turned 26 certainly could make him very viable on the open market, which he's slated to hit at the start of the new league year unless the Giants opt to secure his services prior to that.

James secured seven of 10 targets for 51 yards in the Giants' 38-7 divisional-round loss to the Eagles on Saturday night. He also returned one punt for minus-3 yards.

James was the only Giants wideout to make any sort of impact, leading the team in receptions, receiving yards and targets by a wide margin. The journeyman enjoyed a career-best season in coach Brian Daboll's scheme, posting new high-water marks in receptions (57), receiving yards (569) and touchdowns (four) on a career-high 70 targets during the regular season. James played the 2022 season on a one-year deal, so it remains to be seen if he'll be deemed worthy of running it back with New York next season.

Brown brought in three of six targets for 22 yards in the Eagles' 38-7 divisional-round win over the Giants on Saturday night.

Brown turned in a surprisingly middling showing in a game during which the Eagles offense was close to clicking on all cylinders. The Giants appeared to do a good job limiting Brown with star cornerback Adoree' Jackson, but fellow pass catchers DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert were able to take advantage. Brown will aim to atone for the quiet performance in an NFC Championship Game battle against either the Cowboys or 49ers a week from Sunday.

Smith secured six of 10 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 38-7 divisional-round win over the Giants on Saturday night.

Smith led the Eagles in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night while also securing a nine-yard touchdown grab to put Philadelphia up by two scores late in the first quarter. The speedster has produced at least Saturday's reception and yardage totals in four straight games overall, a favorable streak he'll aim to extend at the expense of either the Cowboys or 49ers in a conference championship clash a week from Sunday.

Toney recorded five receptions on seven targets for 36 yards in Saturday's 27-20 win over the Jaguars. He added one rush for 14 yards.

Toney joined Travis Kelce as the only Chiefs' pass catcher to record more than two receptions in Saturday's win. He was limited to work around the line of scrimmage, though the team continued to show the desire to keep him involved in the offense in a variety of ways. Toney will likely rotate into the game behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling in next week's AFC Championship Game.

Jones recorded five receptions on seven targets for 83 yards in Saturday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs.

Jones was doubled in targets by Christian Kirk, but he still managed to lead the Jaguars in receiving yards. His 37-yard reception early in the fourth quarter was the highlight of his performance, and it also marked Jones' seventh reception of 20 yards or more in his last nine games. Jones enjoyed his best season in the NFL in 2022, and he remains under contract with the Jaguars for the 2023 campaign. However, he is likely to lose some opportunity as the team welcomes Calvin Ridley (suspension) into its receiving corps.
