Jalen Camp WR | CLE
Texans' Jalen Camp: Untargeted in loss
Camp was not targeted in Sunday's 23-7 loss to San Francisco.
Camp was promoted from the practice squad for a second consecutive week and went untargeted for a second consecutive game. He opened as one of three starting wideouts and played 21 snaps.

Chris Conley WR | SF
Texans' Chris Conley: Reduced role in loss
Conley caught one of two targets for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to San Francisco.
Conley fought through knee issues during the practice week and had a limited impact in the game despite being on the field for 49 snaps. The playing time was second only to top wideout Brandin Cooks, who returned to active duty after missing one game while on the reserve/COVID-19 list and gobbled up 11 of the 18 passes aimed at wide receivers. Conley has been in Cooks' shadow all season, with two or fewer catches in 13 of 16 games played.

Mack Hollins WR | NE
Dolphins' Mack Hollins: Silent in blowout loss
Hollins failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Titans.
Hollins made a 40-yard grab during Week 16's win over the Saints, but other than that he's only recorded five receiving yards since Week 12. Even in the deepest of fantasy formats, it's difficult to imagine viewing Hollins as even a flier during Week 18's regular-season finale against the Patriots.

Isaiah Ford WR | CHI
Dolphins' Isaiah Ford: Negligible impact vs. Titans
Ford secured one of two targets for zero receiving yards during Sunday's 34-3 loss to Tennessee.
Ford's opportunities were few and far between in a matchup that saw Tua Tagovailoa only throw for 205 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception. Miami's aerial attack flows through Jaylen Waddle (seven targets), Mike Gesicki (seven targets) and DeVante Parker (13 targets), and as long as those players remain available, Ford isn't a candidate for fantasy consideration outside the deepest of formats.

Allen Lazard WR | NYJ
Packers' Allen Lazard: Finishes second in receiving
Lazard hauled in all six of his targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-10 win over Green Bay.
The Packers' No. 2 wideout role has seemed to alternate between Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (one catch for three yards) in the second half of the 2021 campaign. The former was the receiving option to step up behind Davante Adams (11-136-1) this time around. Lazard has quietly been a consistent fantasy option of late, contributing three touchdowns over the last four weeks while seeing his role expand in the running game (three carries for 32 yards over that span). It's unclear how much playing time the starters will get in a meaningless game against the Lions next Sunday, but Lazard could be in line for extra work in the second half of the contest even if everyone suits up.

K.J. Osborn WR | TEN
Vikings' K.J. Osborn: Hits pay dirt in loss
Osborn had three receptions (five targets) for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-10 loss to Green Bay.
Osborn stepped into the starting lineup in place of Adam Thielen (ankle) as expected, and he delivered a strong fantasy performance with a second-half touchdown. The 24-year-old was already seeing his role increase prior to Thielen's season-ending injury last week, scoring four of his six touchdowns over the last five weeks. The Vikings will take on the Bears in a meaningless game (from a playoffs standpoint), but Osborn and the rest of Minnesota's offensive options would benefit if Kirk Cousins (illness) is able to return.
-
Justin Jefferson WR | MIN
Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Sees 11 targets in blowout loss
Jefferson had six receptions (11 targets) for 58 yards in Sunday's 37-10 loss to Green Bay.
The lack of Kirk Cousins (illness) really hurt the entire offense, as the Packers' defense keyed in on the Vikings' top offensive weapons with the unproven Sean Mannion under center. Jefferson still produced a usable fantasy line, but this was on the lower end of his usual production. The 22-year-old phenom now has 103 receptions, 1,509 yards and nine touchdowns through 16 games. The Vikings were eliminated from playoff contention, so it will be interesting to see if Cousins is able to return for a Week 18 matchup against Chicago with no playoff implications.

Cedrick Wilson Jr. WR | DET
Cowboys' Cedrick Wilson: Scores TD against Cardinals
Wilson caught all six of his targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Cardinals. He also caught a two-point conversion.
Moving into a more prominent role in the second half after Michael Gallup (knee) left the game, Wilson became a big part of the Cowboys' late comeback attempt, catching a two-yard TD from Dak Prescott early in the fourth quarter and then hauling in a two-point try after Amari Cooper's score inside the final five minutes. With Gallup's injury feared to be serious, Wilson will move back into the No. 3 wideout spot on the depth chart for Week 18 against the Eagles and into the playoffs.
-
Davante Adams WR | LAR
Packers' Davante Adams: Goes off vs. MIN
Adams hauled in 11 of 14 targets for 136 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-10 win over Minnesota.
The proven Aaron Rodgers to Adams connection was met with little resistance by the Vikings for the second time this season (the star receiver notched a 7-115-2 line versus Minnesota back in Week 11). Adams accrued most of his stats in just one half of football, as Green Bay blew out its division rival with ease. Lots of fantasy championships took place this weekend, so Adams gave his managers a huge boost in what might end up being his last regular-season appearance this season after the Packers locked up the first seed in the NFC and a first-round bye. Look for updates from head coach Matt LaFleur this week on whether Adams will be rested heading into a meaningless matchup -- in terms of playoff seeding -- against the Lions next Sunday.

Amari Cooper WR | LV
Cowboys' Amari Cooper: Salvages day with TD
Cooper caught three of seven targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Cardinals.
It was a rough day for a lot of Cowboys, but Cooper was at least able to find his way into the end zone, catching a four-yard toss from Dak Prescott in the fourth quarter as Dallas staged a late rally that fell short. The score was Cooper's eighth of the season, tying his previous career high, so the veteran receiver will take aim at a new personal best in Week 18 against the Eagles.
