With Rishard Matthews sidelined for the better part of the past five weeks, rookie wideout DeVante Parker has used the opportunity to showcase the talents that made him a much heralded receiver in this year's NFL Draft.

Receiving a little under seven targets per game in this span, Parker has tallied 17 catches for 339 yards and 2 touchdowns since Week 12, including 4 catches for 93 yards against the Colts' 24th-ranked passing defense this past week.

In the Dolphins' final week of the season, Parker faces a tough task, as he takes on a stout Patriots pass defense that ranks eighth in the league against the pass, per our metrics. But despite the tough matchup, Parker's target share and physical strengths make him a nice option for those in need of a reliable wideout for Week 17.
