Adams caught six of 12 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the season with 85 catches for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns in 14 games split between the Raiders (three) and Jets (11).

Adams caught the third of Aaron Rodgers' four touchdown passes in what could be both players' final game with the Jets. The questions about whether Rodgers will return to the NFL at all don't apply to Adams, and with five consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons under his belt, the 32-year-old wideout is primed to remain a fantasy force wherever he plays in 2025. Adams has a potential out in his contract this offseason, which the Jets could opt to utilize rather than committing to the two years and $71.8 million remaining on his deal.

Hill (wrist/illness) caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Jets.

Hill finished a disappointing season on a sour note, with the star receiver falling just short of 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since an injury-shortened 2019 season. The 30-year-old was listed as questionable heading into the finale while nursing both an elbow injury and an illness and missing all of the team's practices leading up to Sunday's loss. According to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, Hill sat out the entire fourth quarter and was non-committal regarding his future in Miami following the game, telling media in the locker room that "it was great playing here but at the end of the day, I have to do what's best for my career." The statement was an interesting one from Hill, considering that his current contract runs through the 2026 season. That being said, the Dolphins could use the talented Hill as a big trade piece this offseason if the front office decides to move the receiver, if that is indeed what he wishes.

McCloud secured four of seven targets for 66 yards in the Falcons' 44-38 overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

With Darnell Mooney (shoulder) sidelined, McCloud was able to finish a distant second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Drake London. The solid season-ending performance was a fitting final installment on McCloud's career-best campaign, one in which he posted a 62-686-1 line across 17 regular-season games after previously topping out at 39 receptions and 277 yards in terms of single-season highs. McCloud will head into his second season in Atlanta likely poised to reprise his No. 3 receiver role.

Mims recorded five receptions on five targets for 51 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-0 win over the Chiefs.

Mims continued his late-season breakout, and his day began with an impressive 32-yard catch and run into the end zone. He then tallied a seven-yard touchdown reception late in the third quarter, once again earning the majority of his yardage after the catch. While Mims doesn't necessarily win consistently as a traditional receiver, he's carved out a consistent role in the Denver offense having commanded at least four targets in six straight games to close the regular season.

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.
