Lockett caught four of eight targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 17-9 wild-card win over the Eagles.

DK Metcalf stole the show with seven receptions for 160 yards and a score, but Lockett produced modest production despite not finding the end zone. Three of Lockett's four catches went for first downs, and it was his third time in four games where he mustered 50-plus yards. Lockett and the Seahawks will head to Green Bay for the divisional round and face a Packers defense that allowed 232.6 passing yards per game during the regular season.

Ward secured three of four targets for 24 yards in the Eagles' 17-9 wild-card loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Ward had been the de facto leader of the wideout group over the final three games of the regular season, securing 17 of 21 targets for 175 yards and a touchdown in the absence of Alshon Jeffery (foot) and Nelson Agholor (knee). However, Ward could do no better than third on team in receiving yardage Sunday, although the absence of Carson Wentz (concussion) from the late first quarter on very likely had a part to play in his downturn in production. On the books for just $570,000 in 2020 -- and having built some momentum with his late-season play -- Ward will head into the offseason with an eye on carving out a much bigger role next season.

Smith failed to bring in his only target in the Saints' 26-20 overtime wild-card loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

The boom-or-bust wideout busted in a big way in Sunday's loss, drawing only one target and ending with a goose egg in the receiving column. In his second year with New Orleans, Smith scored five times, matching that total from his rookie campaign. Despite the touchdowns, Smith failed to surpass 20 yards receiving six times in the regular season, including two games in which he was held without a catch. Smith played in just 11 games in 2019, and he'll look to get healthy and take the next step forward in his third year.

Harris brought in his lone target for 50 yards in the Saints' 26-20 overtime wild-card loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

The fleet-footed rookie recorded his longest catch on the year, hauling in a 50-yarder from Taysom Hill in Sunday's loss. He ended his first NFL season with just six receptions for 24 yards, though he played a key role on special teams, scoring a punt-return touchdown in Week 3 against Seattle.

Metcalf caught seven of nine targets for 160 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-9 wild-card win over the Eagles.

Metcalf mustered up the best performance of his NFL career just at the right time. He was Russell Wilson's favorite target. His day was highlighted by a 53-yard touchdown pass where he battled defenders to get into the end zone, and he iced the game by hauling in another 36-yard toss. The Seahawks will travel to Green Bay in the divisional round next Sunday, and while the Packers' secondary is sturdier than the Eagles, it'll be tough to slow down Metcalf when he's playing like this.

Diggs caught two of three targets for 19 yards and carried twice for eight additional yards during Sunday's 26-20 wild-card win over the Saints.

Diggs saw his fair share of defensive coverage and struggled to get free against a talented New Orleans secondary. He didn't draw many targets and did little with the ones he did secure, recording a long gain of 10 yards on five touches. Still, Diggs converted a couple of big third downs and helped his team pull off an improbable road upset. He'll face another tough matchup next Saturday against the 49ers, but he should be involved nonetheless.

Thielen caught seven of nine targets for 129 yards during Sunday's 26-20 wild-card win over the Saints.

Thielen averaged an impressive 18.4 yards per catch while gashing the New Orleans secondary for several big plays, including one that set up the winning touchdown in overtime. The veteran had just three catches to his name since October, so this outstanding effort was a tremendous boost to his team's cause en route to the improbable upset. Thielen will be instrumental in next week's divisional-round road matchup with the 49ers, but he'll be facing one of the better defenses in the league.

Zaccheaus caught three of five targets for 115 yards and one touchdown across 10 appearances this season.

The 22-year-old Zaccheaus wrapped up his collegiate career as the No. 2 all-time receiver in Virginia history, but his offensive workload was extremely limited during his rookie campaign. He did play a substantial special-teams role over the latter half of the year, but his offensive snap count only exceeded 15 on one instance all season. That occasion came Week 14, when Zaccheaus played 21 offensive snaps and tore off a 91-yard catch-and-run during a 40-20 win against Carolina -- accounting for his first NFL score and 80 percent of his season-long yardage production in a single play.

Thomas hauled in seven of eight targets for 70 yards in the Saints' 26-20 overtime wild-card loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Thomas led the Saints in receiving, though he couldn't break out, compiling a pedestrian receiving line by his standards. He ends his fourth season in New Orleans with a lot of positive momentum on his side. After signing an enormous contract extension last off season, he delivered a historic campaign, leading the league in receiving yards while catching an NFL-record 149 receptions. The Ohio State product has been unbelievably reliable since entering the league, and he should be a near-unanimous first-round fantasy pick in nearly all formats in 2020.

Montgomery played four offensive snaps and didn't touch the ball in the Week 17 season finale against Buffalo. He finishes the 2019 campaign with 32 carries for 103 yards and 13 catches for 90 yards.

Montgomery will hit free agency, but the 26-year-old running back's versatility should lead to no shortage of suitors if the Jets don't want him back. While he's not suited to be the focal point of an offense, Montgomery's ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, while also contributing in the return game on special teams, makes him a valuable depth piece.
