Durham Smythe caught three passes for 14 yards in Sunday’s loss to Buffalo.

Smythe was targeted four times, but none went for more than five yards. The 23-year-old rookie out of Notre Dame caught six passes for 50 yards this season, and he should enter 2019 as the No. 2 or No. 3 option behind Mike Gesicki.

Jaron Brown catches one pass in SNF win.

It went for nine yards on his only target. Brown won’t be a recommended fantasy option next week against the Cardinals.

Nick Vannett finds the end zone as Seattle locks up a playoff spot.

Vannett caught two passes for 11 yards, including a one-yard touchdown in the first half. The 25-year-old will continue splitting time with Ed Dickson, so he’s not a recommended fantasy option for Week 17.

Ed Dickson scores in win over the Chiefs.

Dickson caught three passes for 19 yards, including a diving score from two yards away in the fourth quarter. The veteran is a touchdown-dependent option that doesn’t have a high likelihood of scoring, so keep him on the waiver wire for the season finale.

Tyler Lockett caught four passes for 99 yards in Sunday night’s win over the Chiefs.

Lockett was officially targeted five times, but he also drew a couple long pass interference penalties. The former third-round pick needs 101 yards next Sunday to reach 1,000 for the first time in his career, so we’ll see if that’s a secondary goal for Seattle in a game they should handle against Arizona—though it’s certainly worth noting that Patrick Peterson will likely see Lockett for the most part. He will be a FLEX option.

Doug Baldwin stays hot in win over the Chiefs.

Baldwin caught seven passes for 126 yards and a touchdown, which came from 27 yards away on a dime from Russell Wilson. All five of Baldwin’s scores this year have come over the past five games, and he’s really paid off in the fantasy playoffs with lines of 2/22/1, 4/77/2, and 7/126/1 this month. The 30-year-old should mostly avoid Patrick Peterson next week against the Cardinals, so he remains a low-end WR2/FLEX play.

J.D. McKissic rushed once for six yards in Sunday night’s win over the Chiefs.

He wasn’t targeted in the passing game. McKissic can stay on the waiver wire for the season finale.
