  • Saints' Michael Thomas: Sets single-season reception record

    Thomas caught 12 of 17 targets for 136 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 38-28 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    Thomas made history Sunday, as he surpassed Marvin Harrison's single-season reception record of 143 set in 2002. The record-setting reception came on an out route in the red zone, and Thomas grabbed one more ball in the contest for a game-sealing touchdown that brought his catch total to 145 on the year. He's been the model of consistency in his NFL career thus far, recording 466 receptions for 5,375 yards and 32 touchdowns in just 62 games. In four seasons, he's caught at least 100 balls and at least nine touchdowns three times, and eclipsed 1,100 yards in all four seasons. The PPR wunderkind will have one more chance to add to a campaign for the ages when the Saints travel to Carolina in Week 17.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Titans' Corey Davis: Exits Sunday's game

    Davis was forced out of Sunday's game against the Saints with a possible concussion, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

    Prior to his exit, Davis hauled in three of his four targets for 40 yards. In his absence, added opportunities are available for Kalif Raymond and Tajae Sharpe.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Eagles' Nelson Agholor: Sidelined again Week 16

    Agholor (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Despite not logging a practice rep since suffering a knee injury Week 13, Agholor hasn't been ruled out for a return, but likely only if the Eagles reach the postseason. On the other hand, coach Doug Pederson bandied about potentially shutting down Agholor for the season late this past week. Once again, the Eagles will roll with just three healthy wide receivers (Greg Ward, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and Robert Davis) on game day.

  • Cardinals' KeeSean Johnson: Won't suit up Week 16

    Johnson (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Johnson will be a healthy scratch for the fourth consecutive time Sunday, as he has 21 catches for 187 yards and a touchdown this season. With the rookie sidelined again, Andy Isabella and Trent Sherfield are in line to handle the depth receiver snaps for the game.

  • Cardinals' Christian Kirk: Suiting up Week 16

    Kirk (ankle) is listed as active Sunday in Seattle, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Kirk hasn't missed a game since logging DNPs in Weeks 5 through 7 due to an ankle injury. In seven contests in the meantime, his offensive snap share has ranged from 86 to 99 percent on a weekly basis. Consequently, it's no surprise Kirk is among Kyler Murray's favorite receivers, as he's gathered in 37 of 56 targets for 407 yards and three TDs while turning five carries into 60 yards during that span.

  • Keelan Doss WR | LV

    Raiders' Keelan Doss: Won't play Sunday

    Doss (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Myles Simmons of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    This news is somewhat surprising given the fact that Doss has been active in the passing game, nabbing five of six targets for 54 yards in his past three games. With the undrafted rookie sidelined, look for an uptick in depth snaps for Rico Gafford and Marcell Ateman.

  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Panthers' D.J. Moore: In concussion protocol

    Moore entered the concussion protocol in the midst of Sunday's game in Indianapolis.

    Moore managed just one catch (on two targets) for one yard before his departure. Considering one game remains on the schedule, he may be hard-pressed to pass all five phases of the protocol and suit up next Sunday against the Saints. In Moore's absence, Curtis Samuel and Jarius Wright will be the Panthers' clear top wide receivers.

  • Patriots' Phillip Dorsett: Logs five snaps on offense Saturday

    Dorsett logged five of a possible 73 snaps on offense in Saturday's 24-17 win over the Bills.

    Dorsett wasn't targeted in the game and was out-snapped by both N'Keal Harry (37) and Jakobi Meyers (14). With Julian Edelman and Mohamed Sanu also in the mix, Dorsett's fantasy upside is limited so long as the team's other wide receivers remain healthy.

  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Panthers' D.J. Moore: Being examined for head injury

    Moore is under evaluation for a concussion during Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Moore made a one-yard catch on the Panthers' first possession, but on his second target of the day on the team's next drive, he couldn't haul it in, took a hard landing and slowly got to his feet. He hasn't seen the field in the meantime and won't return if he's diagnosed with a concussion.

  • N'Keal Harry TE | SEA

    Patriots' N'Keal Harry: Hauls in two passes in Week 16

    Harry was on the field for 37 of a possible 73 snaps on offense in Saturday's 24-17 win over the Bills.

    In the process, Harry -- who was out-snapped by Mohamed Sanu (70) and Julian Edelman (52) -- carried twice for 18 yards and caught two of his three targets for 21 yards. Though volume could be an issue for Harry in Week 17 and the playoffs, the rookie is at least getting more consistently involved in the team's attack and at times has displayed flashes of his potential to develop into a useful red-zone weapon for the Patriots.
