Davis brought in all three targets for 40 yards in the Bills' 29-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Davis saw an elevated role with Emmanuel Sanders (knee) out but couldn't parlay it into appreciable production. The speedster's reception total and receiving yardage were each second on the team to those of Stefon Diggs, but they were unlikely to put fantasy managers over the top in their championship games. Davis will have one more opportunity to tune up for the postseason in a Week 18 finale against the vulnerable Jets secondary.

Gage brought in three of five targets for 50 yards in the Falcons' 29-15 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Gage co-led the Falcons in receptions on a very modest day for Atlanta's passing attack while checking in second in receiving yardage to Kyle Pitts. The veteran wideout now has at least 50 receiving yards in five of the last six games going into the Week 18 finale versus the Saints.

Parker brought in four of 13 targets for 46 yards in the Dolphins' 34-3 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

Parker easily paced the Dolphins in targets while co-leading the team in catches alongside Mike Gesicki. The veteran had gone without so much as a single target across 41 snaps back in Week 16 against the Saints, so despite the inefficiency Sunday, it was still a marked improvement from just six days prior. Parker faces a tough Patriots defense to close out the regular season in Week 18.

Brown recorded two receptions for 41 yards on five targets in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Dolphins.

Brown's primary problem was a lack of volume, as the Titans jumped out to an early lead, leaving Ryan Tannehill to attempt only 18 passes. However, Brown converted less than half of his targets into catches, and he was held to 50 or fewer yards for the seventh time in 12 games on the campaign. Brown and the Titans could be in for a similar game script in Week 18 with a matchup against the Texans.

Waddle brought in three of seven targets for 47 yards in the Dolphins' 34-3 loss to the Titans on Sunday. He also returned one punt for 15 yards.

Waddle's recent run of high-volume efforts came to a halt Sunday against a feisty Titans secondary, leading to his lowest yardage total since Week 8. The rookie also saw a three-game streak of double-digit targets go by the wayside, as DeVante Parker led the way with 13 looks overall. Despite the downturn Sunday, Waddle will have a chance to hit the 100-catch mark with just one reception in Week 18 against the Patriots.

Pittman recorded six catches on six targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Raiders.

Pittman was efficient with his opportunities and recorded 7.8 yards per target. However, Carson Wentz took to the air only 27 times, which in turn led to Pittman seeing six targets or fewer for the fifth time in his last eight games. As a result, he's managed to top 70 receiving yards only three times while finding the end zone once in that span. Despite some of those negatives, Pittman topped 1,000 yards for the season with his performance, and he has also doubled his target total from his rookie campaign with one game remaining.

Shenault caught two of three targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 50-10 loss to New England.

Shenault returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list after a one-game absence and finished fourth on the team in targets, trailing Marvin Jones, Laquon Treadwell and Tavon Austin. The 2020 second-round pick will enter the final game of the season with 58 catches for 557 yards and zero touchdowns in 14 games.

Jones caught two of six targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 50-10 loss to the Patriots.

Jones tied with Laquon Treadwell for the team high in targets, though Jones finished with only two receptions and had barely half the yardage. The 31-year-old has been unable to show any kind of consistent production this season as rookie Trevor Lawrence continues to struggle at quarterback with minimal help around him. Jones enters Week 18 with 66 receptions for 744 yards and three touchdowns through 16 games.

Treadwell secured all six of his targets for 87 yards during Sunday's 50-10 loss at New England.

Treadwell continues to be the only somewhat consistent producer among Jacksonville's wideouts, and he has at least four receptions and 50 receiving yards in six straight contests. The 26-year-old is difficult to trust given the overall struggles of the offense and the lack of touchdowns, but it's been a surprisingly resurgent campaign for Treadwell with 30 receptions for a career-high 410 yards in 11 games after opening the season on the practice squad.

Evans secured four of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 28-24 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Evans put the Buccaneers' first points on the board with a four-yard scoring grab in the first quarter but had a relatively quiet afternoon otherwise. The veteran seemed to show no ill effects from the hamstring injury that cost him Week 16, and with the pending release of Antonio Brown following his actions in Sunday's game, Evans should be in for a significant workload in Week 18 against the Panthers and during the postseason.
