Woods reeled in four of five passes for 40 yards during Saturday's 20-16 loss to Jacksonville.

Woods tied Austin Hooper and Treylon Burks for the team lead in catches and otherwise finished second in receiving yards and targets among Titans. The yardage total also marked Woods' most since Week 14 (also against the Jaguars) and was his fourth most of the campaign, leaving him with a season-long line of 53-527-2 on 91 targets in 16 games. It was a fair performance for a player that tore his ACL on Nov. 13, 2021, and the 30-year-old now can focus on putting the serious injury further in the rearview mirror this offseason. With three more years left on his contract, Woods is slated to be on Tennessee's roster in 2023 as the situation currently stands.

Renfrow recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 31-13 loss to the Chiefs.

Renfrow paced the Raiders in catches after commanding seven targets for the second time in his last three games. He made the most of that opportunity and showed strong rapport with Jarrett Stidham by hauling in passes of 16 and 14 yards to highlight his day. Renfrow also caught his second touchdown of the season on an 11-yard reception midway through the fourth quarter. After breaking out in 2021, Renfrow was limited to only 10 games this season and otherwise saw a sharp downturn in his involvement in the offense thanks to the addition of Davante Adams. Nevertheless, Renfrow will be back with the team in 2023 as he enters the final year of his contract.

Smith-Schuster recorded two catches on two targets for 35 yards in Saturday's 31-13 win over the Raiders.

Smith-Schuster did the majority of his damage on a 28-yard catch late in the first quarter, his first reception of more than 20 yards since Week 14. However, his production largely ended there, and he closed the regular season having recorded three or fewer receptions in five of his last seven games. Smith-Schuster enjoyed a mostly healthy campaign and turned in a respectable 80 receptions and 933 yards with three touchdowns across 16 games during his first year in Kansas City.

Adams recorded five receptions on nine targets for 73 yards in Saturday's 31-13 loss to the Chiefs.

Adams paced the Raiders in targets and yards, though his overall output was modest. He delivered long gains of 22, 18 and 13 yards to highlight his day, but he still produced fewer than 100 yards for the fourth time in his last five games. Adams finished his first season with the Raiders with 100 receptions, 1,516 yards and 14 touchdowns. He'll return to Las Vegas for 2023, though it's unclear who his quarterback will be.

Wallace (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Wallace hasn't taken the field since Week 12 due to a hamstring injury. However, he was designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 28 and has been practicing with the team since. It's unclear what type of role Wallace will have in his return, though he's managed only three receptions for 21 yards across eight games on the campaign.

Burks (groin) is listed as active for Saturday night's game against the Jaguars.

Burks was added to the Titans' Week 18 injury report Wednesday after a groin injury resulted in him being limited at practice that day. After not participating in Thursday's session, the wideout was deemed questionable by the Titans, but the 2022 first-rounder will give it a go Saturday in a game that will decide the AFC South title. Assuming no in-game setbacks, Burks is slated to remain a key target for starting QB Joshua Dobbs. During Week 17 action, Burks caught four of his eight targets from Dobbs for 66 yards in Tennessee's 27-13 loss to the Cowboys.

The Jets elevated Charles from the practice squad Saturday.

Charles spent the preseason with the Jets before being waived as part of the team's final roster cuts in late August. The undrafted wideout has spent the entirety of his rookie campaign on the team's practice squad, and he's now in line to make his NFL debut during Sunday's regular-season finale against Miami. Charles, who caught four passes for 27 yards during the preseason, will likely slot into a deep reserve role alongside Braxton Berrios and Denzel Mims.

The Seahawks elevated Johnson from the practice squad Saturday for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Rams, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Johnson will be elevated from the practice for the third time this season and the second game in a row. The 24-year-old wideout did not haul in either of his two targets while playing 25 offensive snaps against the Jets in Week 17, though it's possible he could once again see some significant playing time with Tyler Lockett nursing a shin injury heading into the regular-season finale. Should Lockett be ruled inactive 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 pm E.T. kickoff, then Johnson should compete with Laquon Treadwell, Dareke Young and Penny Hart for targets behind No. 1 wideout DK Metcalf.

The Falcons elevated Ali from the practice squad heading into Sunday's regular-season finale against Tampa Bay.

Ali will be active for the second week in a row to end the 2022 regular season. The 6-foot wideout did not see any playing time after he was also elevated for the Week 17 win against Arizona, so it's unlikely he'll receive any significant opportunities unless Atlanta benches some of its starters during this Week 18 contest that doesn't have any playoff implications.

The Texans have elevated Johnson to their active roster ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Colts.

Johnson has spent the entire season on Houston's practice squad after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in May. He will slot in as the team's No. 4 wide receiver when they line up against the Colts.
