Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. set season highs in targets and receptions in Sunday's 45-33 loss to the Giants, hauling in nine of 10 targets for 109 yards and a score. With the Colts playing from behind all day, it was the intermediate-to-long-range pass catchers who benefitted from the unexpected game script as Indy tried to play catch-up. It was the fifth time in the last six games that the 27-year-old recorded at least seven targets and five receptions, but only the second time he's gone over 100 yards receiving all season, the other instance coming back in Week 4. With as poorly as this passing attack has looked, there are surely managers who saw this production on their bench, but for those who had the foresight to play the former second-round draft pick, he surely helped teams to fantasy championships. For anyone still playing next week or thinking about DFS options, the Colts get a favorable home matchup against the Jaguars, but monitor to see who is under center for the Colts as Joe Flacco will make the receivers better plays than if it is Anthony Richardson (back, foot).

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Devin Culp was able to make an impact on the field during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The Bucs were without Cade Otton (knee), so Culp saw increased playing time. The rookie tight end hauled in three of his four targets for 53 yards in the win. This was the first time that Culp has been involved in the passing game this season. He finished with the third-most yardage in the receiving game during his Week 17 victory. Despite that, Culp is unlikely to carry much value going forward. Otton is going to be the starter once healthy and Culp will go back to being a depth option on this team.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Payne Durham once again saw an expanded role with Cade Otton (knee) sidelined for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Last week, Durham hauled in five of his seven targets for 29 yards. This week, Durham didn't see as many targets, but he finished with two receptions on three targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the win. Both Durham and Devin Culp saw increased roles with Otton on the sideline. Durham might be worth a look as a low-end TE2 if Otton remains out for next week's matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Jalen McMillan continued his impressive late-season surge during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The rookie wideout hauled in all five of his targets for 51 yards and two touchdowns in the win. McMillan now has six touchdowns over his last four games after having one total touchdown heading into Week 14. Fantasy managers are finally getting production out of the rookie wideout at the best time of the season. McMillan might sneak onto the WR2 radar for the Week 18 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Miami Dolphins. The 27-year-old registered four tackles prior to his departure, bringing his season total to 48. Ward has appeared in all 16 games this season, but he's missed parts of several contests due to various injuries. He'll now have seven days to get healthy ahead of the Browns' season finale next Sunday in Baltimore.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker surprisingly saw his usage increase during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Tucker hasn't seen much of the field lately, but he was able to make an impact in Week 17. He rushed the ball eight times for 39 yards and hauled in his lone target for five yards in the win. The eight carries from Tucker are the most from him since his 136-yard outing in Week 6. It looks like Tucker and Rachaad White are going to be fighting for scraps with Bucky Irving running away with the lead back job. Tucker is worth holding in some dynasty formats, but he's unlikely going to have weekly success as the third option in the backfield.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving was all over the place during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The rookie back rushed 20 times for 113 yards, which helped him surpass the 1,000-yard mark for the season. Irving also hauled in all four of his targets for 77 additional yards through the air. This 100-plus yard performance marked Irving's third 100-yard performance in his last five games. The 22-year-old is literally running away with the lead back job in Tampa Bay. He'll be a RB1 for the regular season finale against the New Orleans Saints.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White once again took a backseat to Bucky Irving in the backfield on Sunday. White rushed the ball six times for 30 yards while hauling in his lone target for four additional yards through the air. It was another dud from White who has become an afterthought with Irving having so much success lately. Irving recorded his third 100-plus yard performance during Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. The rookie back appears to have taken over as the full-time back in Tampa Bay, so White looks like he's just going to be the backup going forward. That being said, White won't have great streaming appeal for the Week 18 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Dynasty | Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp had one catch for 29 yards in a win over the Cardinals. Dynasty Analysis: Kupp had three targets, while Puka Nacua had 14. This has been a theme over the past month as it seems the Rams are content just peppering Nacua with footballs and essentially using Kupp as a blocker and a decoy. This has been a disaster of an end to the season for Kupp who now has just four catches on nine targets for 53 scoreless yards over his last three games. His dynasty ADP is going to sink this off-season.

Dynasty | Cardinals tight end Trey McBride had 12 catches for 123 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Rams. Dynasty Analysis: McBride's touchdown reception was amazingly his first of the year. However, few dynasty managers are going to complain much about his 104 catches and 1,081 receiving yards on the season. If not for Brock Bowers, McBride would be the overall TE1 in dynasty leagues after he's done nothing but improve after his breakout season last year.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Cardinals rookie receiver Marvin Harrison Jr caught six passes for 96 yards in a loss to the Rams. Dynasty Analysis: Harrison has a respectable 57/822/7 line on the season, but has been overshadowed by fellow rookies Brock Bowers, Malik Nabers, Ladd McConkey, and Brian Thomas Jr. who have all surpassed 1,000 yards receiving already. Harrison has simply been good, but not special and that's a significant concern for anyone who took him at the top of 2024 Rookie Drafts. He'll need to take a step forward next season to justify staying towards the top of the recevier rankings.

Dynasty | Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins had 11 catches for 131 yards and three touchdowns in a win against Denver. Dynasty Analysis: Congratulations on winning your fantasy title. Higgins saved his best for last as he posted his best fantasy performance of the season during championship week. With 69 catches for 858 yards and ten touchdowns in just 11 games, Higgins is going to be a very interesting player to watch this off-season. The Bengals may not have the means to pay him what he wants and if he hits free agency, he'll have no shortage of suitors. His dynasty value is stable.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman caught three passes for 27 yards and a touchdown in the team's 40-14 victory over the New York Jets. His leaping, 14-yard touchdown reception came in the waning moments of the third quarter to put the Bills ahead by 33 points. Most starters sat out of the fourth quarter due to the big lead. The rookie led the Bills in targets (seven) and had a 37-yard reception called back by a holding penalty. Buffalo is locked into the second seed for the AFC playoffs and may rest starters next weekend in New England.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught three of six targets for 25 yards in the team's blowout victory over the New York Jets. It's the second straight game (and third time all season) that Shakir finished with fewer than 30 yards. That's coincided with below-average passing yardage from quarterback Josh Allen, who threw for 182 yards on Sunday. Buffalo built a 33-point lead entering the fourth quarter, taking many starters out of the game early. With the win, the Bills clinched the number two seed in the AFC playoffs ahead of their rematch with the New England Patriots.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid secured two passes for 24 yards in the team's 40-14 blowout win over the New York Jets. The 25-year-old earned two targets on the afternoon. The Bills shut out the Jets for three quarters and led by 33 points entering the final frame. However, the second-year professional was mostly uninvolved before the starters were pulled. Kincaid, a popular preseason breakout candidate, has disappointed in nearly every game this season. His 4.4 PPR fantasy points on Sunday was one of his worst performances. Buffalo is locked into the second seed for the AFC playoffs and may rest starters next weekend in New England.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw for 182 yards and two touchdowns while adding 17 rushing yards and another score in the team's 40-14 win over the New York Jets. As has been the case in a handful of Bills games this season, Allen departed early due to Buffalo's comfortable lead. The Bills led by 33 points entering the final frame. Allen found Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman for his passing scores in the third quarter. While the yardage total is low for Allen's standards, three touchdowns were enough to put him over the 20-point threshold. Allen and the Bills clinched the number two seed in the AFC so the team could rest him for the regular season finale in New England.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (ankle) has returned to Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Miami Dolphins. He exited in the second quarter and was listed as questionable, but he checked back into the game at the start of the second half. Although Ford's return will take away some touches from D'Onta Foreman and Pierre Strong Jr., we expect all three running backs to remain involved for the rest of Sunday's contest.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed for 53 yards and scored a touchdown in the team's blowout win over the New York Jets. Buffalo's top running back saw 15 opportunities again, but all came on the ground. He wasn't targeted for the second time this season. Thankfully, a touchdown pushed him up to double-digit PPR points. Cook's one-yard plunge in the third quarter extended Buffalo's lead to 26 points. They led by even more entering the fourth quarter, allowing Cook to take the rest of the game off. The Bills secured the number two seed in the AFC and face the New England Patriots in Week 18.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper caught three passes for 56 yards and one touchdown in the team's 40-14 win over the New York Jets. The veteran's highlight play was a 30-yard jump-ball touchdown over a New York defender. Despite one of his best games in a Bills uniform, the move to Buffalo hasn't benefited Cooper's fantasy value. His three targets trailed Keon Coleman (seven) and Khalil Shakir (six). The Bills secured the number two seed in the AFC and face the New England Patriots in Week 18.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Joe Flacco completed 26 of 38 pass attempts for 330 yards and two touchdowns, but was responsible for three turnovers -- two interceptions and a lost fumble. The 39-year-old's 68.4% completion rate breathed some life into what has been an underwhelming passing attack, producing two 100-yard receivers in the same game for the first time all season for the Colts. However, Indy was playing from behind all game and Flacco likely had to throw more than they expected or wanted him to. Nevertheless, with Indianapolis eliminated from playoff contention, the Colts may not want to run Anthony Richardson (back, foot) out there for the final game in Week 18. If Flacco draws another start, it will be in a favorable home matchup versus the 4-12 Jaguars, the same team the veteran put up big numbers against earlier this season.
