  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Pops another big play

    Shaheed recorded six receptions on six targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Eagles.

    Back in favorable weather, Shaheed returned to showcasing his big-play ability. He popped a 58-yard catch late in the second quarter to set up a field goal for the Saints. While that accounted for the majority of his production, Shaheed's involvement in the offense was notable as he managed a career-best six targets even with Chris Olave (hamstring) back in the mix. Shaheed now has at least one reception of more than 20 yards in four of his last five games.

  • Tutu Atwell WR | MIA

    Rams' Tutu Atwell: Minimal production in loss

    Atwell secured two of five targets for 10 yards in the Rams' 31-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Atwell couldn't parlay his game-breaking speed into any fantasy-relevant numbers on a day when Baker Mayfield netted only 111 passing yards. The second-year wideout does have at least one reception in seven straight games, but he hasn't topped 14 receiving yards since Week 14 going into the regular-season finale against the Seahawks.

  • Shi Smith WR | KC

    Panthers' Shi Smith: Strong performance in Week 17 loss

    Smith secured all four targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 30-24 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    The second-year wideout recorded a season high in receiving yardage while also tying his high-water mark in receptions. Smith's second touchdown of the season came on a 19-yard grab early in the fourth quarter to extend the Panthers' lead to 11 points at the time. While Sunday's loss eliminated Carolina from playoff contention, Smith will have a chance to build on his solid effort in a Week 18 road matchup against the Saints.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Raiders' Mack Hollins: Gains 40 yards in overtime loss

    Hollins caught three of four targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the 49ers.

    Hollins bounced back with a solid effort following an anemic performance against Pittsburgh in Week 16. The veteran wideout made a couple of big-chunk plays with new quarterback Jarrett Stidham under center. The latter appeared to look towards his deep threats more than previous starter Derek Carr, who preferred to hit underneath routes more often than not. Assuming Stidham sticks as starter, Hollins could provide great value as a DFS flyer against the Chiefs on Sunday.

  • Greg Dortch WR | DET

    Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Does little with 10 targets

    Dortch recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Falcons.

    Coming off a career-high 10-catch performance in Week 16, Dortch tied for the team lead in targets. However, he was unable to convert that opportunity into any type of production as his longest reception went for just 11 yards. So long as DeAndre Hopkins (knee) remains sidelined, Dortch should continue to see expanded opportunity, though the overall state of the Arizona offense could hold back his numbers.

  • Browns' Donovan Peoples-Jones: Makes most of one reception

    Peoples-Jones recorded one reception on three targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Commanders.

    The Browns had a run-oriented offensive game plan, as Deshaun Watson attempted only 18 passes. Peoples-Jones had little opportunity as a result, but he managed to catch a 13-yard touchdown late in the third quarter after failing to haul in his first two targets of the contest. He now has two touchdowns in his last three games and three total for the season.

  • Ravens' Andy Isabella: Injures thigh Sunday

    Isabella suffered a thigh injury during Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Prior to his exit in the third quarter, Isabella had one carry for one yard. The Ravens elevated him from the practice squad for Week 17 action, so he'll revert back for a second consecutive week Monday.

  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: First 100-yard game this season

    Aiyuk had nine receptions (12 targets) for 101 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for 16 yards in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Raiders.

    Aiyuk did his best Deebo Samuel (knee/ankle) impression in potentially his last game replacing his injured teammate, taking his second carry of the season for 16 yards on a designed end around. The 24-year-old also produced his first 100-yard receiving game of the season, but that's not to say that he hasn't provided consistent fantasy numbers all year long. Aiyuk will carry a healthy 74-956-8 receiving line into a favorable matchup against the Cardinals in Week 18.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Can't take advantage of volume

    Wilson caught three of 11 targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.

    He was by far Mike White's favorite option on the day, but the QB's struggles led to a brutal line in the box score for Wilson. The rookie wideout is ending his first NFL campaign with a whimper, posting a 7-48-0 line over the last two games despite 20 targets, and the Jets' unsettled quarterback situation will make him a risky fantasy play in Week 18 against the Dolphins.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Jets' Corey Davis: Three catches in loss

    Davis caught three of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.

    The Jets' entire offense struggled, and despite his weak numbers Davis wound up leading the entire WR group in yards, although tight end Tyler Conklin was the team's leading receiver overall. Davis has topped 50 yards just once in his last five games, and the team's unsettled quarterback situation will limit his upside in Week 18 against the Dolphins.
