Harrison recorded five catches (on six targets) for 63 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 47-24 victory against the 49ers.

Harrison was the first non-quarterback selected (fourth overall) in the 2024 Draft, and he had his moments as a rookie, including four TD catches from Weeks 2-4 and two 100-yard performances. He also fell below 50 receiving yards 10 times in 17 outings en route to a composite 62-885-8 line on 116 targets. Harrison was a distant second to teammate TE Trey McBride (111-1,146-2 on 147 targets) in three major statistical categories for the campaign, but there's a chance the former begins to take on more attention from QB Kyler Murray in his second season. Overall, Harrison's fifth-place finish among first-year players in receiving yards behind the Jaguars' Brian Thomas (1,282), the Giants' Malik Nabers (1,204) the Raiders' Brock Bowers (1,194) and the Chargers' Ladd McConkey (1,149) is a respectable showing considering all but McConkey were first-round picks.

Smith caught four of six targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants. He added four rushing yards on his only carry.

The 2024 fifth-round pick saw a bigger role with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith getting rested ahead of the postseason, and the younger Smith took advantage by hauling in his first career TD to open the scoring on a 15-yard toss from Tanner McKee in the first quarter. Smith hadn't caught a pass since Week 10 prior to making a splash Sunday, and he should return to a depth role next weekend when the Eagles host the Packers in the wild-card round.

Dotson caught seven of 11 targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants.

Working as the Eagles' No. 1 receiver while A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith were rested ahead of the playoffs, Dotson had by far his best game of the year and his most productive day since he erupted for an 8-108-1 line in Week 8 last season against Philly as a member of the Commanders. Dotson hadn't even caught a pass since Week 14 prior to his Week 18 breakout, however, and he'll likely return to being an afterthought in the Eagles' passing game next weekend in the wild-card round against the Packers.

Jefferson secured three of four targets for 18 yards during Saturday's 19-17 loss to the Bengals.

Although the Steelers' passing game largely struggled in Saturday's regular-season finale, Jefferson had multiple receptions for the second time over the last six weeks. The 28-year-old was inconsistent throughout the regular season, including against the Ravens, whom the Steelers will face in next weekend's wild-card round. He failed to secure his lone target in the Week 11 meeting between the two teams but secured two of three targets for 27 yards against Baltimore in Week 16.

Austin failed to secure his lone target during Saturday's 19-17 loss to the Bengals.

Austin had one of his best three-game stretches of the year leading up to Saturday's regular-season finale, as he secured 13 of 15 targets for 161 yards. However, he was held in check in Week 18 as the Steelers passed for just 148 yards. Pittsburgh will face Baltimore in a wild-card matchup Jan. 11, and Austin secured five of seven targets for 64 yards during his two regular-season appearances against the Ravens this year.

Robinson caught 10 of 11 targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Eagles.

It's the second time this season Robinson has had double-digit receptions, but the volume once again didn't lead to much real production. The third-year slot receiver put together a career-best campaign in 2024, hauling in 93 passes for 699 yards and three TDs on 140 targets, and he proved to be an effective underneath complement to Malik Nabers. The duo will almost certainly have a new QB in 2025, whether one is acquired using the third overall pick in next year's draft, via free agency or in a trade, but Robinson's role in the offense as a possession option and chain-mover seems secure.

Nabers caught five of eight targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Eagles.

The rookie wideout appeared headed for a quiet afternoon until he connected with Drew Lock for a 45-yard score in the fourth quarter. Nabers led all first-year wide receivers with 109 receptions (and briefly held an NFL rookie record for all pass catchers with that total until Las Vegas tight end Brock Bowers, who finished with 112 catches, surpassed him later Sunday) in only 15 appearances, turning them into 1,204 yards and seven TDs on 170 targets -- second in the entire NFL in target volume behind Ja'Marr Chase's 175. Those numbers are even more impressive when you factor in the QB turmoil the Giants went through in 2024, and if the team can bring in a new long-term starter this offseason to develop some chemistry with Nabers, he could deliver truly elite numbers across the board in 2025.

Sutton recorded five receptions on seven targets for 98 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-0 win over the Chiefs.

The Chiefs rested several of their defensive starters, but this was still an impressive performance for Sutton. He picked up nearly half of his yardage on a 47-yard catch midway through the first quarter, and he capped off the same drive with a 10-yard reception in the end zone two plays later. With the showing, he topped 1,000 receiving yards in a season for the first time since 2019 and will remain a key part of the Denver offense in a wild-card round matchup against the Bills.

Smith-Njigba corralled four of five targets for nine yards while taking his only carry for four yards in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Rams.

Smith-Njigba had an unusually quiet finale to what was a true breakout fantasy season in 2024. The 22-year-old still hit a milestone despite Sunday's paltry yardage total, reaching 100 receptions for the first time in just his second season in the NFL. The Ohio State product's 100-1,130-6 receiving line led all Seattle receivers, and he could be in store for even more in 2025 if impending UDFA DK Metcalf decides to part ways with his longtime club after falling into JSN's shadow. Whatever the case, Smith-Njigba is shaping up to make a huge jump in ADP next season after putting up WR1 numbers as a sophomore.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded four receptions on seven targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 23-14 loss to the Texans.

Westbrook-Ikhine tied for the team lead in targets and finished second in both receptions and yards. He was held in check for most of the game, though he delivered big gains of 19 and 16 yards to tally his highest yardage total since Week 13. Despite a slow start to the season, Westbrook-Ikhine ended the year with a career-high nine touchdowns and 497 yards. He is set to hit free agency this offseason and should latch on as a depth pass catcher in Tennessee or elsewhere around the league.
