Parris Campbell WR | DAL
Colts' Parris Campbell: Strong finish to encouraging '22
Campbell secured six of nine targets for 42 yards and rushed once for 26 yards in the Colts' 32-31 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Indianapolis.
Campbell put a strong cap on his first fully healthy season since his rookie 2019 campaign, one that saw him log action in all 17 games and put together a career-best 63-623-3 line through the air that he complemented with 58 rushing yards on five attempts. The fourth-year speedster tied Deon Jackson for the team lead in receptions and paced the Colts in targets on the afternoon, making it a noteworthy finale all the way around. Campbell is slated to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year, and he could certainly be an intriguing mid-level asset on the open market if he doesn't return to Indianapolis under what will almost certainly be a new coaching staff.

Mike Williams WR | LAC
Chargers' Mike Williams: Hurts back Sunday
Williams was forced out of Sunday's game against the Broncos with a back injury.
With the Chargers locked into the No. 5 playoff seed in the AFC, chances are Williams' day is over. Prior to his exit, the wideout caught four of his five targets for 32 yards. In his absence, the team's available WR options are Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter.

Michael Pittman WR | PIT
Colts' Michael Pittman: Touchdown grab to close out season
Pittman secured three of five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 32-31 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also rushed once for no gain and recovered a fumble.
Pittman was able to finish a solid third season by recording a touchdown grab for a second consecutive game on a one-yard catch late in the first quarter to open the scoring for the Colts. Pittman finished a campaign that was marred by a revolving door of mostly pedestrian quarterback play for the Colts just one reception short of 100, but he did cross the 900-yard threshold and also tallied four touchdowns. The 2020 second-round pick is heading into the final year of his rookie contract, and given his impressive body of work over the last two seasons in particular, it remains to be seen if he and the club talk contract extension this offseason.

Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN
Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Dominates opportunity in Week 18
Chase recorded eight receptions on 13 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-16 win over Baltimore.
Chase earned double-digit targets for the fourth consecutive game, and he nearly doubled up Tyler Boyd, who finished second on the team with seven looks. Chase displayed some big-play ability, highlighted by a 26-yard touchdown catch as well as big gains of 20 and 17 yards. He also served as a check-down option for Joe Burrow, tallying short gains of 10 and nine yards. Despite having his season cut short by four games due to a hip injury, Chase surpassed 1,000 receiving yards and managed nine touchdowns. He'll be a key to the Bengals' postseason run.

Terrace Marshall Jr. WR | MIA
Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Makes two grabs
Marshall caught two of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Saints.
Marshall actually led the Panthers in all major receiving categories, evidencing their struggles in the passing game. After being frozen out to begin his second campaign, the former second-round pick finished with 28 catches on 47 targets for 490 yards and one touchdown in 14 appearances. That production marked improvement from his rookie year, all the while dealing with a rotating cast of quarterbacks. Marshall will hope to retain his starting role behind DJ Moore in 2023, but as Carolina likely strives to increase its offensive upside, it wouldn't be surprising if Marshall's spot comes under competition prior to next season.
-
DJ Moore WR | BUF
Panthers' DJ Moore: Quiet in finale
Moore caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Saints.
Moore closed with another underwhelming output due to Carolina's poor quarterback play, as Sam Darnold completed merely five passes for 43 yards while throwing a pair of picks. After three straight 1,000-yard campaigns, Moore finishes this season with just 888 yards in 17 games. While his 63 catches and 117 targets both marked lows since his rookie year as well, Moore at least compensated by scoring a personal-best seven times. Although it's unclear who will be throwing him passes next season, Moore figures to remain atop the Panthers' wide-receiver depth chart, giving him a solid floor despite dealing with Carolina's quarterback carousel the past couple campaigns.

Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Five catches in season finale
Waddle secured all five targets for 44 yards in the Dolphins' 11-6 win over the Jets on Sunday. He also rushed once for nine yards.
Waddle worked perfectly in concert with rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson, pacing the Dolphins in receptions and checking in second in yardage and tied for second in targets. The second-year speedster finishes the regular campaign with 29 fewer receptions than his rookie tally of 104 -- unsurprising given Tyreek Hill's arrival this offseason -- but with new career highs of 1,356 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. It remains to be seen which quarterback Waddle will work with in next weekend's tough road wild-card matchup against the Bills.

K.J. Osborn WR | TEN
Vikings' K.J. Osborn: Tops century mark
Osborn caught five of six targets for 117 yards in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Bears.
Osborn led the Vikings in receiving, with most of his production coming prior to the team's decision to rest its offensive starters during the second half. The 25-year-old enjoyed a strong finish to the regular season, scoring three times while topping 115 yards twice over his last five games. His complementary playmaking figures to bolster quarterback Kirk Cousins' options as Minnesota now turns its attention toward the playoffs.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Career-high 120 yards in Week 18
London caught six of eight targets for 120 yards during Sunday's 30-17 win over Tampa Bay.
London briefly went to the locker in the second quarter with a foot injury, but he returned to the contest and finished with a career-high 120 receiving yards during his final game of the 2022 campaign. The rookie first-round pick finished the season strong and totaled 31 receptions on 48 targets for 428 yards over the final five games, with 333 of those yards coming in four contests with Desmond Ridder at the helm. The Falcons are expected to add more quarterback depth this offseason after the Marcus Mariota experiment failed, but regardless of who's under center, London is expected to be Atlanta's top wideout next year.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Struggles in regular-season finale
Hill brought in two of five targets for 23 yards in the Dolphins' 11-6 win over the Jets on Sunday.
It was a forgettable afternoon overall for Hill on an individual level, although the overriding storyline naturally was the Dolphins' ability to secure a wild-card spot with the victory. Hill exited the game at one point with an ankle issue but was able to return, but he'll head into next weekend's road wild-card matchup against the Bills with a combined 6-78 line over the final two games of the regular season and no immediate insight into which quarterback he'll be working with.
