Stefon Diggs WR | WAS
Vikings' Stefon Diggs: Hauls in TD in loss to Niners
Diggs caught two of five targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-10 loss to the 49ers in the NFC divisional round.
He hauled in the Vikings' only TD of the day on a 41-yard strike from Kirk Cousins late in the first quarter, but the game mostly belonged to the Niners after that. Diggs finished the 2019 regular season with a career-high 1,130 yards, but he was used far more as a deep threat than he was in 2018 -- he caught 63 passes on 94 targets, a significant drop from the 102 grabs on 149 targets he saw in 2018, but made up for it by nearly doubling his YPT to 12.0. Signed through 2023, Diggs should remain a key part of the Minnesota passing game again next year.

Kendrick Bourne WR | ARI
49ers' Kendrick Bourne: Scores first career postseason TD
Bourne caught three of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-10 NFC divisional-round victory over Minnesota.
Bourne's three catches tied Deebo Samuel for the team lead in receptions, but the former was the only receiver to hit paydirt. It's tough to take away a whole lot from the 49ers' passing attack in this one, as the team played with the lead for the final three quarters and ran the ball 71 percent of the time. The 6-foot-1 wideout does offer upside in terms of his red-zone skills, as he now has six touchdowns on just 33 receptions this season, but he remains a cheap flyer in DFS formats heading into the NFC Championship Round next Sunday.

Trent Taylor WR | SF
49ers' Trent Taylor: Should be ready for OTAs
Taylor underwent surgery on his foot Jan. 2 but is expected to participate in OTAs this offseason, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
It was the fifth and final surgery for Taylor's foot injury, for which he originally went under the knife last offseason. The 25-year-old spent the 2019 campaign on injured reserve and will likely enter training camp for 2020 as a depth wideout.

Adam Thielen WR | PIT
Vikings' Adam Thielen: Suiting up Saturday
Thielen (ankle) is listed as active Saturday at San Francisco.
Thielen went through a rigorous pregame workout, including running routes and catching passes. He'll thus be available after a week in which he incurred a laceration on his left ankle in practice that required stitches. While he'll be available, per usual, Saturday, Thielen could play second fiddle to fellow wide receiver Stefon Diggs in the pecking order.

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside WR | ATL
Eagles' J.J. Arcega-Whiteside: Fails to make impact in 2019
Arcega-Whiteside caught 10 of his 22 targets for 169 yards and a touchdown in 16 games in the 2019 season.
The Eagles famously suffered injury after injury to their receiving corps this season but still could not find a way to get their rookie second-round pick more involved. The 22-year-old saw just seven targets in the season's first three weeks before going six weeks without one. Thanks to attrition, he eventually got worked back into the game plan in the second half of the year but never hauled in more than two balls in a game and again went target-less in Philadelphia's final two contests of the season, including their wild-card loss. With Nelson Agholor likely to sign elsewhere next season, Arcega-Whiteside should get at least one more opportunity to produce in 2020.

Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Catches 26 passes as a rookie
Meyers finished the 2019 regular season with 26 catches (on 41 targets) for 359 yards in 15 games.
Meyers stuck around after making the team as an undrafted rookie and even managed to log a few PPR-worthy efforts in the process. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder probably did enough to make the team again in 2020, but it's possible he'll have to fight to keep his slot in New England's wide receiver corps, depending on the team's offseason moves.

Phillip Dorsett WR | LV
Patriots' Phillip Dorsett: Hauls in 29 passes in 2019
Dorsett finished the 2019 regular season with 29 catches (on 54 targets) for 397 yards and five TDs in 14 games. He also logged three carries for 21 yards.
The 2015 first-rounder started the season with a two-TD effort in Week 1, but his subsequent production was hit-or-miss and he finished things out by working as the team's No. 4 wide receiver (behind Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sanu and N'Keal Harry) in the Patriots' wild-card loss to the Titans. The 27-year-old is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and it remains to be seen if he re-ups with New England as a complementary option or heads elsewhere in search of more playing time.

Malik Turner WR | SF
Seahawks' Malik Turner: Clear for Sunday
Turner (concussion) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's divisional-round game at Green Bay, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Now that Turner got through the concussion protocol, he's set to serve as the Seahawks' No. 3 wide receiver behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf. While his contributions were sporadic throughout the regular season, Turner averaged a whopping 11.1 YPT and 16.3 YPC on 22 targets scattered across 15 games.

Artavis Scott WR | LAC
Colts' Artavis Scott: Heading to Indianapolis
Scott signed a reserve/future contract with the Colts on Friday.
Scott had his practice squad contract with the Chargers expire earlier this week, and he didn't have to wait long before finding a new team. The 25-year-old is still looking to make his NFL debut since going undrafted out of Clemson in 2017.

N'Keal Harry TE | SEA
Patriots' N'Keal Harry: Finishes season with 12 catches
Harry logged 12 catches (on 24 targets) for 105 yards and two TDs in seven games during the 2019 regular season.
Harry, who the Patriots selected 32nd overall in last April's NFL Draft, had his rookie season stalled when he began the campaign on IR due to an ankle injury. As a result, his impact in the team's passing game was modest, but down the road, the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder has what it takes to develop into a dangerous red-zone weapon for the team, and his role is bound to expand in 2020. Who Harry will be catching passes from then is to be determined, however, with QB Tom Brady eligible for free agency this offseason.
