  • Cole Beasley WR | NYG

    Bills' Cole Beasley: Logs no catches in divisional round

    Beasley did not haul in either of his targets during Saturday's 17-3 divisional-round win against the Ravens.

    Beasley was limited throughout the practice week because of a knee injury, but he was able to suit up against Baltimore to remain with just one game absence on the season. Buffalo didn't lean on the veteran wideout, instead distributing 22 of 30 WR targets to Stefon Diggs and John Brown. A dud against the Ravens marks Beasley's first no-catch performance of the 2020 campaign, though it's notable he was capable of pushing through the same knee issue en route to seven catches and 57 yards in the wild-card round.

  • Marquise Brown WR | PHI

    Ravens' Marquise Brown: Collects 87 yards in playoff loss

    Brown snared four of his seven targets for 87 yards during Saturday's 17-3 divisional-round loss to the Bills.

    Brown was the only perimeter target who posed much of a threat to Buffalo, as the second-year man was the lone Ravens wideout to exceed 25 receiving yards on the night. Tyler Huntley nearly found Brown for an explosive fourth-down gain in the fourth quarter after the receiver slipped past Tre'Davious White in coverage. However, the ball sailed over Brown's outstretched hands, leaving him with a total of one catch for 29 yards following Lamar Jackson's (concussion) late third-quarter exit. Brown remained somewhat of a boom-bust fantasy asset in the 2020 regular season, with six performances of 75-plus receiving yards but five others of 25 or fewer yards. Eight receiving TDs buoyed Brown's value, bringing him to a total of 15 scores through his first two NFL seasons.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | WAS

    Bills' Stefon Diggs: Scores in divisional-round win

    Diggs corralled eight of 11 targets for 106 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 17-3 divisional-round win against the Ravens.

    An oblique injury kept Diggs limited in practice Tuesday and Wednesday, but he entered the weekend devoid of an injury designation after practicing in full Thursday. The first-time Pro Bowl receiver got the festivities started immediately with a 13-yard catch on the Bills' opening play from scrimmage, and he proceeded to establish four receptions for 59 yards in the first half. It was his three-yard TD catch on Buffalo's first drive out of the halftime break that proved to be Diggs' most vital contribution, however. The 27-year-old is red-hot heading into the AFC Championship Game, with 100-plus receiving yards over five of his past six games, as well as a total of six TDs since Week 14. Buffalo hasn't faced Cleveland yet this season. Against the Bills' other potential opponent, Kansas City, Diggs totaled six catches for 46 yards and a TD in Week 6.

  • Cowboys' Cedrick Wilson: Productive early in 2020

    Wilson caught 17 of 28 targets for 189 yards and two touchdowns while playing in all 16 games for the Cowboys in 2020.

    The second-year wideout surprisingly emerged as a threat in a deep Dallas receiving corps early in the season, when Dak Prescott (ankle) was on a record-setting pace and the defense was ensuring a shootout almost every week. Wilson's biggest game came in Week 3, when he hauled in 107 yards and two TDs from Prescott, but he returned the favor two weeks later when he tossed an 11-yard touchdown to Prescott on a trick play. Once the Cowboys lost their starting QB for the season, however, Wilson's volume dried up nearly completely, and he saw only eight targets over the final 10 games. Heading into 2021, Prescott is expected to be re-signed and healthy for Week 1, but Wilson will still be behind the formidable trio of Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup on the depth chart, and he might not see the perfect storm of opportunity that briefly boosted his fantasy stock in 2020.

  • Van Jefferson WR | WAS

    Rams' Van Jefferson: Finds end zone in playoff loss

    Jefferson recorded six receptions on seven targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' divisional-round loss to the Packers on Saturday.

    Jefferson took advantage of the absence of Cooper Kupp, finishing second on the team in both targets and receptions. Although only one of his catches went for a gain of 10 or more yards, he did account for a touchdown with a four-yard reception late in the second quarter. Jefferson finished his rookie season with only 19 receptions for 220 yards and a touchdown across 16 regular-season games, though his role could increase in 2021 if Josh Reynolds departs in free agency.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Rams' Josh Reynolds: Leads way with 65 yards

    Reynolds recorded three receptions on four targets for 65 yards in the Rams' divisional-round loss to the Packers on Saturday.

    Reynolds saw an increased role in the absence of Cooper Kupp (knee) and took advantage by leading the team in receiving yards. He operated effectively over the middle of the field, racking up receptions of 28 and 21 yards. After recording 52 receptions for 618 yards and two touchdowns across 16 games in the regular season, Reynolds will hit the free-agent market for the first time in his career this offseason.

  • Robert Woods WR | PIT

    Rams' Robert Woods: Held to 48 yards

    Woods recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 48 yards in the Rams' divisional-round loss to the Packers on Saturday.

    Woods was peppered with targets and led the team in receptions, though he was unable to break loose for any big gains. His longest reception of the contest went for 19 yards, though he had no gain longer than eight yards thereafter. Despite the disappointing close to the campaign, Woods racked up 129 targets during the regular season. He converted that opportunity into 90 receptions, 936 yards and six touchdowns. Heading into 2021, Woods will remain with the Rams and has proven to have a stable production profile since joining the team in 2017.

  • Gabe Davis WR | BUF

    Bills' Gabriel Davis: Quickly returns Saturday

    Davis (ankle) returned to Saturday's divisional-round game against the Ravens, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

    The rookie out of UCF only missed a few plays before returning to action. Davis has been a major asset to the Bills' offense this season, specifically with the deep ball, as he has recorded 10 receptions of longer than 20 yards.

  • Gabe Davis WR | BUF

    Bills' Gabriel Davis: Injures ankle Saturday

    Davis was forced out of Saturday's AFC divisional-round game against the Ravens with an ankle injury.

    Gabriel failed to catch his lone target, which was in the end zone, before exiting the game. If the rookie receiver doesn't return, Isaiah McKenzie and Andre Roberts could get more work for the remainder of the game.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Packers' Allen Lazard: Clinches playoff victory

    Lazard recorded four receptions on eight targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' divisional-round win over the Rams on Saturday.

    Lazard led the Packers in yards, thanks to a 58-yard touchdown reception midway through the fourth quarter to clinch a win. It was a moment of redemption for Lazard, as he dropped what appeared to be another long touchdown earlier in the game. After commanding no more than six targets in any of the final seven regular-season contests, Lazard appears to have reasserted himself as the team's second wide receiver.
