McLaurin had four receptions (five targets) for 77 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 37-20 loss to the 49ers.

McLaurin finished as Washington's top-producing receiver despite finishing third in targets behind Logan Thomas (eight) and Jahan Dotson (nine). The 27-year-old McLaurin continues to perform at a high level in spite of inconsistent quarterback play, posting a healthy 72/1,092/4 receiving line through 15 games. Head coach Ron Rivera has a big decision to make regarding who will start under center against the Browns next Sunday, but McLaurin should maintain WR1 status whether Taylor Heinicke or Carson Wentz gets the call.

Davis brought in three of six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 35-13 win over the Bears on Saturday. He also lost a fumble.

Davis led the Bills in receiving yards on the windy, frigid day at Soldier Field, and he erased an early 7-0 deficit with a 19-yard scoring grab just past the midway point of the first quarter. Davis tied his career high with what was his seventh touchdown catch of the campaign, and he now has at least three receptions in six of the last seven contests. Davis next takes aim at a tough Bengals secondary in a critical Week 17 road matchup on Monday night, Jan. 2.

Gallup secured four of seven targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 40-34 win over the Eagles on Saturday.

Gallup checked in third in receptions and targets on the afternoon while also recording his fourth touchdown of the season on a 12-yard grab late in the third quarter. Gallup has new competition for downfield work in veteran T.Y. Hilton, who tallied a 52-yard gain on his one catch in his team debut Saturday, but he should continue to hold down a solid complementary role in Thursday's favorable Week 17 road matchup against the Titans.

Lamb secured 10 of 11 targets for 120 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' 40-34 win over the Eagles on Saturday.

Lamb paced the Cowboys' pass-catching corps across the board in what was a spectacular performance. The star wideout recorded 36- and seven-yard touchdown grabs in the second and fourth quarters, the second capping off an eight-play, 75-yard drive and erasing a 34-27 deficit. Lamb's pair of touchdowns gave him a new career high of eight for the campaign and locked in his second multi-score tally of the season. Lamb also has consecutive 100-yard efforts for the first time in 2022 heading into a favorable Week 17 road matchup against the Titans on Thursday night.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded two catches on three targets for 23 yards in Saturday's 19-14 loss to the Texans.

Westbrook-Ikhine finished third on the team with three targets, an indication of Tennessee's preference to run its offense primarily on the ground. He did the majority of his damage on a 14-yard catch late in the third quarter, though it was his fourth consecutive game with under 25 receiving yards. The passing volume for all Titans receivers has been limited this season, and that is likely to only worsen with Malik Willis under center for the final two contests.

Woods recorded four catches on four targets for 30 yards in Saturday's 19-14 loss to the Texans.

Woods led the Titans in receptions and receiving yards, an indication of how little the offense was able to move the ball. While he managed to record at least four receptions for the third time in his last six games, Woods didn't manage much yardage, as he was targeted entirely in the short areas of the field. That's unlikely to change with Malik Willis under center for the rest of the regular season.

Smith posted eight catches (on 12 targets) for 113 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 40-34 loss in Dallas.

Like fellow Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown, Smith now has surpassed 100 yards receiving three times in the last four games, a stretch in which he's compiled a 23-405-4 line on 36 targets. The timing is great in the midst of the fantasy playoffs, and Smith put together such a performance with backup signal-caller Gardner Minshew filling in for MVP candidate Jalen Hurts (shoulder). If Hurts requires another absence Week 17 against the Saints on Sunday, Jan. 1, Smith's outlook doesn't appear to be diminished too much with Minshew running Philadelphia's offense.

Brown hauled in six of eight targets for 103 yards during Saturday's 40-34 loss at Dallas.

Since a sparse Week 10 performance against the Commanders (one seven-yard catch on four targets), Brown has notched 100 receiving yards three times over the last six outings, with that trio all coming in the past four contests. Overall, during that six-game stretch, he's accrued a 36-579-4 line on 53 targets. And the most recent outburst from Brown occurred with Gardner Minshew and not Jalen Hurts (shoulder) under center. There's also a chance Hurts misses a Week 17 matchup with the Saints on Sunday, Jan. 1, but Brown's production doesn't appear to be bothered by the Eagles' quarterback change.

Dorsett recorded three catches on three targets for 45 yards in Saturday's 19-14 win over the Titans.

Dorsett finished with fewer targets than both Brandin Cooks and Chris Moore, though he was the most efficient of the group with his opportunity. All three of his receptions came in the fourth quarter, highlighted by 20 and 18-yard gains. With an increased role in the absence of Nico Collins (foot), Dorsett managed to top 40 receiving yards for the first time since Week 9.

Jefferson caught 12 of 16 targets for 133 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-24 win over the Giants.

It was another huge day for the NFL's receiving yards leader, as Jefferson reached triple digits for the 10th time this season while scoring his eighth TD. The third-year wideout is now 208 yards short of Calvin Johnson's all-time single-season record of 1,964 heading into a Week 17 road game against the Packers -- a defense he lit up for 184 yards and two touchdowns back in Week 1.
