  • Gabe Davis WR | BUF

    Bills' Gabe Davis: Another impressive playoff performance

    Davis caught six of nine targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round.

    Davis' display was highlighted by a toe-tapping, 23-yard touchdown during the third quarter to extend Buffalo's lead. After exploding for 201 yards and four touchdowns in last January's divisional-round loss to the Chiefs, Davis made another strong impact while returning to the postseason Sunday. With both he and Stefon Diggs topping 100 receiving yards, the Bills' starting wideouts now approach the AFC divisional round in fine form.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Banged up in defeat

    Waddle caught three of seven targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round. He also rushed once for eight yards.

    Waddle dropped what would've been a long gain on Miami's first throw of the game. He later picked up a shoulder injury while failing to make a contested catch, but Waddle played on during the second half, when he nearly scored with his lone rushing attempt. Although it wasn't Waddle's most productive day, his second season was still a big success, as he finished with 75 catches on 117 targets for 1,356 yards and eight touchdowns despite Tyreek Hill joining him in Miami's receiving corps. Looking ahead to the 2023 campaign, Waddle and Hill should again be one of the league's best wideout duos, and Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is expected to return as the Dolphins' starting quarterback.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Leads Dolphins in receiving

    Hill caught seven of 15 targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round. He also rushed two times for five yards.

    Hill led Miami in all major receiving categories, but his output was limited compared to its usual level as fill-in quarterback Skylar Thompson averaged just 4.9 yards per attempt while throwing two interceptions. Despite being subjected to a revolving door of signal-callers in his first season with the Dolphins, Hill still racked up career highs in catches (119), targets (170) and receiving yards (1,710) while totaling eight touchdowns to boot. With unmatched, game-breaking speed, Hill should remain a dominant force in 2023, when Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is expected to return as the team's starting quarterback.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Bills' Stefon Diggs: Big first half Sunday

    Diggs caught seven of nine targets for 114 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round.

    Diggs enjoyed a big first half, with all seven of his catches coming prior to halftime. That total included a 52-yard bomb to set up Buffalo's opening touchdown early on. Even though he garnered just one look during the second half, Diggs still led the Bills in receiving yards and should remain a big factor as they advance to the AFC divisional round.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Returns to Sunday's game

    Waddle (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's playoff game against the Bills, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

    Waddle was forced out of the game due to a shoulder injury but was subsequently able to return to the field. Prior to his exit, the Dolphins' starting wideout had yet to catch a pass in the contest.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Questionable to return

    Waddle is questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card matchup against Buffalo due to a shoulder injury.

    Waddle was shaken up following a deep pass that was broken up by Tre'Davious White. The star wideout immediately went to the medical tent after the play and was quickly ruled questionable to return. Waddle dropped his lone target before leaving the contest.

  • Zach Pascal WR | NYG

    Eagles' Zach Pascal: Finishes with career lows

    Pascal ended the regular season with 15 catches for 150 yards and one touchdown, all career lows.

    Pascal averaged 37.5 catches, 472 yards and 3.8 touchdowns across his four seasons in Indianapolis but saw his numbers tail off significantly after his move to Philadelphia. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith combined to claim 56 percent of the Eagles' targets, leaving very little work for the team's depth wideouts. Pascal is merely on a one-year deal, so it's possible he finds himself on a roster that needs to look his way more often next season.

  • Quez Watkins WR | PHI

    Eagles' Quez Watkins: Finishes with 33 catches

    Watkins finished his third professional season with 33 catches for 354 yards and three touchdowns.

    Watkins did take a step forward in terms of finding the end zone, as he scored just once in each of his first two seasons, but the rest of his statline represents a step back from the previous campaign, when he finished with 647 yards on 43 catches. Both those totals were good for third behind DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert, but the addition of A.J. Brown prior to this season cut into Watkins' share of the offense.

  • Dolphins' Cedrick Wilson: Ready to go Sunday

    Wilson (hip/groin) is active Sunday against the Bills.

    Wilson missed Week 18, but he was able to close out the week as a full participant in practice Friday. The veteran receiver should handle the team's punt return work, while also bolstering its depth at receiver against Buffalo.

  • Bills' Isaiah McKenzie: Inactive Sunday

    McKenzie (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's playoff game against the Dolphins.

    McKenzie was listed as questionable for the contest after not practicing Thursday or Friday and he'll sit this one out. In his absence, Khalil Shakir, Cole Beasley and John Brown are candidates to log added snaps behind top wideouts Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. McKenzie will thus target a potential return to action next weekend, should the Bills advance to the divisional round of the playoffs.
