Cooks recorded four catches on nine targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 19-14 win over the Titans.

Cooks played for the first time since Week 12, and he drew nine targets on 32 pass attempts combined between the Texans' quarterbacks. He was inefficient with his opportunity overall, though he caught the game-winning score from six yards away late in the fourth quarter. Cooks also chipped in a 16-yard catch early in the third quarter to account for his longest gain of the day. He should retain a significant role in the Houston offense for the rest of the season, though poor quarterback play could mean he doesn't make a consistent statistical impact.

Jones caught two passes for 52 yards in the Bears' 35-13 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Jones ran past two defenders, which allowed Justin Fields to catch him in stride for a 44-yard reception while the Bears were trying to make a late comeback. Jones' four targets was his highest total of the season. This was also the first time he had more than 10 receiving yards in a game. Although his performance was impressive, his lack of consistency will make him tough to trust in Week 17 fantasy lineups.

Moore secured five of seven targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 37-23 win over the Lions on Saturday.

Moore led the Panthers in receptions, receiving yards and targets during the momentous win, making his biggest impact with a five-yard touchdown grab early in the third quarter that was immediately preceded by his 47-yard grab. Moore now has back-to-back five-grab, one-touchdown efforts and should once again play a pivotal role in a critical Week 17 road battle versus the Buccaneers on Sunday, Jan. 1.

Shaheed gathered in four of five targets for 41 yards during Saturday's 17-10 win over the Browns.

Shaheed stepped up as the Saints' No. 1 receiver, with rookie first-rounder Chris Olave (hamstring) inactive Saturday. The undrafted pass catcher was one of only two New Orleans wideouts to log a target, as the team attempted 15 passes due to the frigid and windy conditions in Cleveland on Saturday. Running back Alvin Kamara was the only other Saints player to log more than two targets or one reception, while tight end Juwan Johnson caught one of two targets for nine yards. Shaheed's production over the previous three games has clearly placed him as the No. 2 wideout ahead of Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway. With veteran slot Jarvis Landry (ankle) also set to miss the remainder of the regular season on IR, expect Olave, Johnson and Shaheed to serve as the team's top receiving trio when healthy.

Metcalf pulled in seven of nine targets for 81 yards in Saturday's 24-10 loss to Kansas City.

Metcalf was the leading receiver for Seattle on a day where the offense sputtered, producing the only notable fantasy line from the entire receiver group. The Seahawks were without the services of Tyler Lockett (finger), but his absence didn't help or hurt Metcalf's usage. The former has a chance to return in Week 17, which would provide a boost for an offense that has hit the skids in recent weeks. If Lockett can't go, then Metcalf would have to deal with Jets' top corner, Sauce Gardner, by himself next Sunday.

Zaccheaus caught four of seven targets for 18 yards in Saturday's 17-9 loss to the Ravens.

For the second straight game with Desmond Ridder under center, Zaccheaus failed to make much of an impact, as the rookie QB focused on feeding the ball to Drake London. Zaccheaus has already set career highs in catches (36) and receiving yards (496) this season, but his campaign may be poised to end with a whimper. He'll try to get on the same page as his new quarterback in Week 17 against the Cardinals.

St. Brown caught seven of 13 targets for 76 yards during Saturday's 37-23 loss to Carolina.

Merely selected as a Pro Bowl alternate this season, St. Brown made history in multiple ways Sunday. Not only did he best Calvin Johnson to become the youngest Lions receiver to reach 1,000 yards in a season, he also joined Michael Thomas and Odell Beckham to become the third player in NFL history with at least 90 receptions and 900 receiving yards in each of his first two seasons. With Jamaal Williams (leg) perhaps set to miss time, the Lions seem set to lean on the pass even more in a Week 17 matchup against a Bears defense allowing the third-most yards per pass attempt (7.8) in 2022.

London caught seven of nine targets for 96 yards in Saturday's 17-9 loss to the Ravens.

For the second straight game, London showed impressive chemistry with fellow rookie Desmond Ridder, as he led Atlanta in catches and receiving yards. London has posted a 14-166-0 line on 20 targets in two games with Ridder under center, giving the eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft upside and momentum heading into a Week 17 matchup with the Cardinals.

Diggs secured both targets for 26 yards in the Bills' 35-13 win over the Bears on Saturday.

Diggs endured a rough afternoon in the frigid conditions of Soldier Field, turning in his lowest reception and yardage totals of the season. Josh Allen spread the ball around to nine different players overall, helping to keep Diggs' numbers modest. The next opportunity for Diggs to bounce back comes in a Week 17 road showdown against the Bengals on Monday night, Jan. 2.

Cooper secured six of 10 targets for 72 yards in the Browns' 17-10 loss to the Saints on Saturday.

Cooper comfortably led the Browns in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, serving as one of the few bright spots for Cleveland's passing attack in frigid conditions. The veteran's numbers were his best yet in four games with Deshaun Watson as his quarterback, and he'll aim to improve on them in a Week 17 road battle versus the Commanders on Jan. 1.
