Last Week: No. 3

Remember how we had some fun with Wesco for recording a tackle to facilitate his move up in the rankings? Well, in Week 16, he locked down the No. 3 spot thanks to a big play at his natural position.

Sam Darnold targeted Wesco once in Week 16 and the West Virginia product made the most of it, ripping off a 32-yard reception. It was an encouraging step for Wesco, who now has two catches for 47 yards on the season.

Wesco also recorded a tackle against the Steelers. He deserves a lot of credit for sticking to the status quo in that aspect of the game.
