6.
Nico Collins
HOU (vs . IND)
Nico Collins was held to just four for 59 yards on 11 targets, although he did also draw two DPI calls. Should rebound versus a banged-up Chargers' secondary in Week 17.
|

7.
George Pickens
DAL (at NYG)
|
|
8.
A.J. Brown
PHI (vs . WAS)
Via Next Gen Stats... the Bills have held the opposing No. 1 wide receiver to fewer than 45 receiving yards in each of their last FOUR games.
Nico Collins had 55 yards in that game versus Buffalo. DK Metcalf had 32 yards in Week 13, Ja'Marr Chase had 44 yards in Week 14, and Stefon Diggs was held to just 26 yards in Week 15. |
|
9.
Chris Olave
NO (at ATL)
|
|
10.
Drake London
ATL (vs . NO)
Drake London returned to the lineup and saw great volume (9 targets). But he was inefficient, catching just three balls for 27 yards. Knocking off the rust (80 incomplete air yards) as he played just 69% of the snaps.

CAR (at TB)
|

17.
Jaylen Waddle
MIA (at NE)
Jaylen Waddle was fine in Quinn Ewers' first start, although he benefited from CB DJ Turner being less than 100%. The Dolphins WR posted a modest 5-72 on nine targets (67 incomplete air yards and five targets off play action). 30% target share.
Gives us faith that Waddle can be started next week in a plus matchup versus the pass-funnel Buccaneers. Jaylen Waddle has topped 82 yards in five of his 11 games this season without Hill, averaging OVER seven targets and 68 yards per contest when Hill plays fewer than 50% of snaps or misses entirely (15-game sample size). He should be back on the fantasy WR2 radar versus the Bucs. |
|
18.
Michael Wilson
ARI (at LAR)
Michael Wilson also saw his targets get nuked with Marvin Harrison Jr. back. However...he bailed out fantasy managers with a TD and 52 yards on two catches (four targets).
Harrison also only had three targets (all deep targets with 73 incomplete air yards) on 51% of the snaps. Also targeted twice in the end zone. |

25.
Stefon Diggs
NE (vs . MIA)
Stefon Diggs caught a team-high 9 of his 10 targets for 138 yards.
Diggs was especially productive downfield, catching all 3 of his targets of 10 or more air yards for 81 yards. It is Diggs' fourth game with at least 100 receiving yards. Additionally, Diggs totaled at least 30 yards against 3 different defenders (Washington: 44, Humphrey: 42, Wiggins: 39); he had not recorded 30 total receiving yards in each of his last three games (Next Gen Stats). His route participation grew to 83% potentially related to Kayshon Boutte's injury. With Kayshon Boutte back, Diggs wasn't running enough routes to be an automatic start. However, Maye and the Patriots still know he is the No.1 guy. And Diggs wants to get paid. He has contract incentives for 70 catches and 1,000-plus yards (Currently at 76 catches for 869 receiving yards). |

31.
Emeka Egbuka
TB (vs . CAR)
Mike Evans led the Bucs with 9 targets (5-31-1).
Emeka Egbuka had just two targets but caught one for 40 yards (lead team). Volume has dipped for Egbuka since Evans' return, but his efficiency has increased. However, the routes fell even farther this week compared to Week 15. He finished 4th in routes run behind Jalen McMillan. Season lows across the board for Egbuka between targets, routes, and catches. Just a 54% route participation. This makes Egbuka a boom-or-bust option versus the Dolphins in Week 17. Chris Godwin was second with 6 targets (led team in routes run for the second straight week). |

Marvin Harrison Jr.
ARI (at LAR)
|
|
35.
Troy Franklin
DEN (vs . LAC)
Troy Franklin is also back on the fantasy radar. 4-66 with a beautiful 48-yard catch on six targets.
Franklin was back to relevance without Bryant in Week 15 going six for 85 and 1 TD on six targets. Pat Bryant took a brutal hit late in the fourth quarter that forced him to be carted off the field on a stretcher. If Bryant misses another week, Franklin can be a WR3/FLEX play. He's scored five TDs in the last nine games—8-plus targets in five of nine, and four games with more than 40 receiving yards. |

Deebo Samuel Sr.

Adonai Mitchell
NYJ (at BUF)

38.
Jayden Reed
GB (at MIN)
Jayden Reed led the Packers in routes run (3 catches for 35 yards) and snaps.
If Romeo Doubs were to miss, it would be an obvious boost to Reed/Christian Watson with Matthew Golden and Dontayvion Wicks also chipping in. However, we have also seen GB sans Jordan Love really lean into a rushing attack with Malik Willis under center. If Willis starts in Week 17 - major downgrade for all Packers WRs. |
