  • N'Keal Harry TE | SEA

    Patriots' N'Keal Harry: Catches three passes Sunday

    Harry caught three of his seven targets for 29 yards and rushed for nine yards on one carry in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Dolphins.

    The No. 32 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft -- who began the season on IR with an ankle injury -- finishes his rookie campaign with 12 catches (on 24 targets) for 105 yards and two TDs in seven games. Heading into the playoffs, Harry will serve as the Patriots' No. 3 wide receiver behind Julian Edelman and Mohamed Sanu. Down the road, the 22-year-old should continue to grow into a larger role in the New England offense and with his 6-4, 225-pound frame, Harry has the potential to develop into a dangerous red-zone weapon for the team.

  • Steelers' James Washington: Zero receptions in finale

    Washington failed to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.

    This was only his second game this season in which Washington failed to record a catch. The second-year receiver took a step forward overall, finishing 2019 with 44 receptions (on 80 targets) for 735 yards and three touchdowns over 15 games. He led the team in receiving yards and yards per catch (16.7) but needs to improve on his 50.8 percent catch rate if he's going to become a reliable fantasy asset in 2020. The return to Ben Roethlisberger under center could help in that regard.

  • Robbie Chosen WR | WAS

    Jets' Robby Anderson: Not interested in hometown discount

    Anderson, a pending free agent, said he won't give the Jets a hometown discount, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports. "You got to talk to my agent," Anderson said. "I don't think that makes sense."

    The real question is whether he'll even listen to the team's offers. Anderson has played 62 of a possible 64 games since latching on with the Jets as an undrafted rookie in 2016, typically working as the first or second option in the passing game. His usage in terms of targets has been less consistent, and there were even rumors in October about the Jets trying to trade him. One of the thinnest players in the league, Anderson has never done much damage over the middle or after the catch, but he nonetheless profiles as one of the top WRs on the market this upcoming offseason, offering a strong combination of speed, footwork and ball skills. The 26-year-old should land a sizable contract that locks him in for a starting job, with high expectations in terms of target volume -- and fantasy volume -- depending on where he signs.

  • Mike Williams WR | LAC

    Chargers' Mike Williams: Quiet finish to season

    Williams caught two of five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.

    Williams joined the Titans' A.J. Brown as one of only two players to record over 1,000 receiving yards while catching 55 or fewer passes on the season, finishing the campaign with 49 receptions, 1,001 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Though his touchdowns were down dramatically from the year prior, Williams' emergence as a dangerous downfield threat was a welcome development for Los Angeles. Still, the 2017 first-round pick was essentially "only" a deep-ball specialist, falling behind the likes of Keenan Allen and Austin Ekeler in terms of intermediate and underneath targets. Heading into 2020, the big-bodied wideout is unlikely to have as much difficulty crossing the goal line as he did in 2019, but better health from another red-zone threat in tight end Hunter Henry -- as well as uncertainty at quarterback, if Philip Rivers doesn't return -- could work against Williams' chances of reaching double-digit touchdowns again.

  • Steelers' Diontae Johnson: Four receptions in finale

    Johnson caught four of seven targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Although the rookie receiver failed to hit the century mark in a game, Johnson finished the 2019 season with a solid 59-680-5 line while playing in all 16 contests. With several players missing time due to injury Johnson led the team in catches and receiving touchdowns as well as targets (92). He also ran for 41 yards on four carries and led the league by averaging 12.4 yards per punt return, including an 85-yard touchdown. Johnson has upside heading into the 2020 season, especially if Pittsburgh gets more consistent play at quarterback.

  • David Moore WR | CAR

    Seahawks' David Moore: Snags two passes

    Moore caught both his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.

    The third-year pro moved into the No. 3 wideout role with Malik Turner (concussion) inactive, but the results weren't anything to write home about. For the fourth straight game, Moore failed to surpass 30 receiving yards or find paydirt, though he had a touchdown called back for offensive holding in the second half. If Turner returns for Sunday's wild-card game against the Eagles, Moore's usage will likely be limited again.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Titans' Corey Davis: Records four receptions

    Davis hauled in four of his five targets for 44 yards in a Week 17 win over the Texans.

    He finished second on the Titans in receptions, targets and yards, though he was again overshadowed by A.J. Brown. Davis came close to a bigger day but had a touchdown called back after he was ruled down at the one-yard line upon review. Overall, the third-year receiver had a hard time getting on track this season, surpassing five targets in a game on only four occasions. He's been surpassed by Brown as Ryan Tannehill's top receiver, but Davis will almost certainly be back in Tennessee in 2020 with one year still remaining on his rookie deal, plus a potential fifth-year option should the organization pick it up. For now, his focus will be on the team's first-round playoff matchup against New England.

  • Deebo Samuel WR | SF

    49ers' Deebo Samuel: Huge game to finish regular season

    Samuel corralled all five targets for 102 yards while rushing twice for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 win over Seattle.

    Samuel made some big plays through the air, but he was able to find the end zone when he deployed a nifty spin move on a 30-yard end around in the first quarter. This was a signature game for the second-round rookie, as he flashed his ability as a wideout with his third 100-yard receiving game while also putting his versatility as a rushing threat on display. Samuel finishes his first pro season with 961 combined yards and six touchdowns over a full 16 games, surpassing receivers with more experience on the depth chart to finish second behind Emmanuel Sanders. The dynamic wideout figures to maintain that role through the playoffs, but he could elevate to the 49ers' top wide receiver option with Sanders set for unrestricted free agency this upcoming offseason.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Generates 81 yards, score

    Metcalf caught six of 12 targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.

    After going catchless in Week 16's loss to the Cardinals, this was an impressive bounce-back effort for the rookie. Metcalf caught a 14-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to make it a one-possession game, and the rookie was Russell Wilson's favorite receiver on the team's final offensive drive, as Metcalf caught two of six targets for 34 yards. Metcalf's regular season ends with 58 receptions for 900 yards and seven touchdowns, and he'll look to build on the success in the playoffs. The Seahawks travel to Philadelphia for the wild-card round next Sunday.

  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Bounces back against 49ers

    Lockett caught six of seven targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.

    The second half of Lockett's season has been bumpy, but this game can be considered a success. Lockett surpassed 50 receiving yards for just the second time since Week 9. The 27-year-old's regular season ends with 82 catches for a career-high 1,057 yards and eight touchdowns. Lockett will look to build on this effort in the wild-card round, as the Seahawks travel to Philadelphia next Sunday.
