Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. was stellar once again in a 20-17 victory over the Tennessee Titans. He finished with seven catches for 91 yards and a touchdown. The rookie receiver has been a WR1 fantasy option over the back half of the season despite some more difficult matchups. It is a common trope among rookie receivers that they play better towards the end of the season, but the level BTJ is playing at is incredible for a rookie. He has earned double digit targets each of the last five weeks and has scored four touchdowns over the last three weeks. On an offense that has been one of the worst in the league, it is amazing BTJ is producing the way he is. The Jags finish the season facing the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18.

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders had a perfect day on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, hitting both field goal attempts and both extra points in a 20-3 victory that kept Miami's playoff hopes alive for another week. The kicker crushed a 54-yarder in the first quarter, no small feat given the muddy field conditions in rainy Cleveland. He also hit a 39-yarder on the last play of the first half that gave Miami a lead it kept the rest of the way. Managers who started Sanders despite the Dolphins being without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) were rewarded with a performance befitting a top-10 fantasy kicker. The Dolphins will conclude the regular season in Week 18 at the New York Jets.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington salvaged a quiet fantasy day with a short touchdown in Week 17 in a 20-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The young receiver finished with three catches for 31 yards and a touchdown from two yards out in the second quarter. With Mac Jones under center, the offense has struggled overall, especially with Brian Thomas Jr. stealing all of the targets. Washington had just three targets in this game but made the most of them. For anyone who started Washington in fantasy championships, they got a solid outing likely meeting expectations. Washington has been solid filling in for injured receivers Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis this season. With better quarterback play, he could develop into a more consistent receiver. The Jags face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was firmly in the back seat behind Bijan Robinson in the team's Week 17 loss to the Washington Commanders. The former fifth-round pick finished the game with three carries for 19 yards and was not involved in the passing game. The Falcons dropped to 8-8 but still have a chance to win the division as they go up against the Carolina Panthers in Week 18. Allgeier should be able to find some more running room against the league's worst run defense.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill looked like his old self Sunday at Cleveland, catching all nine of his targets for 105 yards in a 20-3 victory. The veteran receiver was a critical part of the win for a Miami team playing without injured starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip). With quarterback Tyler Huntley filling in, Hill accounted for nearly half of Huntley's passing yards and helped the Dolphins do enough to keep their playoff hopes alive for another week. Given the downgrade at quarterback, Hill still delivered for managers who started him in the championship round. The Dolphins, who don't yet know who will start at quarterback, finish the regular season against the New York Jets.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin saw his largest snap share of the season but couldn't turn it into much as the team fell to the Eagles by 34 points. The TCU product finished with one reception for 16 yards on four targets and two carries for 18 yards with a 53% snap share. The Cowboys' offense was mostly shut down as Cooper Rush threw two interceptions and the pass-catchers finished with 148 yards on 29 combined targets. He'll go up against the Washington Commanders in another divisional game for the regular season finale.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore was unable to get much going in the team's 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The 29-year-old registered one catch for 17 yards on one target while playing 32% of the offensive snaps. This was the first game he saw fewer than three targets since Week 7 when he didn't get targeted at all. Moore's next chance to bounce back will be against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 18.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane finished with his second-worst fantasy output of the season Sunday at Cleveland, gaining 25 rushing yards and catching only two passes for another 13 yards in the 20-3 victory. The electric back was a victim of circumstances outside of his control, as the Miami offense shifted into survive-and-advance mode without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip). Cleveland keyed on Achane and dared quarterback Tyler Huntley to beat them, and the backup did just that, completing 22 of 26 passes, leading the team with 52 yards rushing, and accounting for two second-half touchdowns. Unfortunately for managers who relied up Achane in the championship round, the quarterback change was awful timing. Miami has not yet revealed which quarterback will start in Week 18 against the New York Jets.

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith hit pay dirt against the Cleveland Browns, hauling in a game-clinching touchdown to cap a day with three catches and 26 yards in the Dolphins' 20-3 win at Cleveland. All things considered, it wasn't a bad day for the veteran tight end, who saw a major downgrade at quarterback with Tua Tagovailoa (hip) unable to play, thrusting backup Tyler Huntley into a must-win game. Bad weather and two backup quarterbacks led to ugly offensive football on both ends, but Smith still scratched out some fantasy value with Miami's lone receiving touchdown. He ended up being one of the best fantasy values at any position this year, and will conclude the regular season Sunday at the New York Jets.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones led the team to their fourth win of the season over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. He finished the game with 174 yards and two touchdowns on 15-for-22 throwing while adding six carries for 22 yards. Brian Thomas Jr. continues to be his favorite pass-catcher after receiving another 10 targets, but Jones spread the ball to six different people throughout the game. He'll likely remain under center for their final game against the Indianapolis Colts as he continues to audition for a bigger role in the future.

Miami Dolphins backup quarterback Tyler Huntley did the job Sunday at Cleveland, completing 22 of 26 passes for 225 yards, leading the team in rushing, and accounting for two touchdowns without a turnover in the 20-3 victory. The journeyman ran for a game-best 52 yards on just seven carries, which included a 13-yard scramble for a touchdown in the third quarter, then sealed the victory with a seven-yard strike to tight end Jonnu Smith in the fourth. Managers who took a risk by starting Huntley in Superflex formats were rewarded with the performance, which wasn't perfect, but certainly good enough to fill in for the injured Tua Tagovailoa (hip). The Dolphins have not yet revealed who will start in Week 18 against the New York Jets.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has appeared in 12 games while starting in 11 of them during his rookie season. The team was eliminated from playoff contention a while back as they sit at 3-13 heading into the final week of the regular season. Head coach Jerod Mayo said "All possibilities are under consideration" when asked if they'll be resting Maye to avoid injury risk. If that's the case, Jacoby Brissett would go under center one more time, but fantasy managers will want to check back closer to kickoff.

It was a tale of two halves for New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Before halftime, Rattler was 11-for-13 with his only incompletions being a drop on his first pass attempt of the game and a throwaway at the end of the second quarter. In the second half, he completed just nine of his 23 pass attempts, threw two interceptions, and was sacked three times. His final result for the day was a 20-for-36 effort for 218 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions. Rattler also led the Saints in rushing yards with 46 on three carries. Rattler's lone touchdown pass came on a trick play at the start of the second quarter that culminated in a 30-yard bomb to tight end Foster Moreau. He nearly had another long score later in the second quarter, but a holding penalty negated his 40-yard pass to Juwan Johnson. If Derek Carr (hand) is held out of the Saints' season finale then Rattler will likely get the start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams had two carries for 12 yards and caught his lone target for 12 more yards through the air in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Williams was largely irrelevant despite the team designating Alvin Kamara (groin) out and losing fill-in starter Kendre Miller (head) to a possible concussion in the second quarter. Williams did see his highest snap count since Week 8 but was outdone in that regard by recent signee Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who was promoted from the practice squad on Saturday. CEH led the Saints' running backs with six total touches for 30 scrimmage yards. If Miller and Kamara are both out for Week 18's matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Williams might see increased usage in a timeshare with Edwards-Helaire. Given his underwhelming production in the Saints' limited utilization, not much should be expected from him in the season finale.

New Orleans Saints running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire led the team in carries in Sunday's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Edwards-Helaire needed just five rushing attempts to accomplish the feat in a game where New Orleans all but abandoned the ground game, calling just four run plays in the entire second half. He finished with five carries for 20 yards and caught two of his four targets for 10 receiving yards. Cut by the Chiefs on December 16 and claimed by the Saints two days later, New Orleans elevated the four-year veteran from the practice squad on Saturday after listing Alvin Kamara (groin) out the day before. CEH was involved nearly as much as starter Kendre Miller (head) before Miller left the game in the second quarter due to a possible concussion. Up to that point, Edwards-Helaire had seen five snaps to Miller's seven and three touches to Miller's four. If Miller is forced to miss Week 18 and Kamara doesn't return for a meaningless season finale, Edwards-Helaire could draw the start against the Buccaneers.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson led the team in receptions, targets, and yards in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Johnson had six catches for 66 yards on 10 targets, establishing new season-highs in each category. His big day could have been a lot bigger had it not been for some miscues. Johnson dropped Spencer Rattler's first pass of the game which would have resulted in a 20-yard gain. Late in the second quarter, Johnson caught a 40-yard pass on the goal line but the play was negated by a holding penalty at the line. Finally, Johnson's own offensive pass interference penalty wiped out a 16-yard reception in the fourth quarter. Injuries have robbed the Saints of several playmakers for much of the season but until today Johnson has had little to show for his constant presence. He should remain a top target in Week 18 assuming New Orleans keeps Chris Olave (concussion) and Alvin Kamara (groin) on the sideline for the season finale.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau had caught three of his five targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Quarterback Spencer Rattler hit Moreau in the end zone from 30 yards out to cap off a trick play that involved running back Kendre Miller at the start of the second quarter. Moreau finished with the second-most targets on the team after fellow tight end Juwan Johnson's ten. Perhaps the most surprising thing about the surge in volume is that it hadn't been tried before given the fact that New Orleans has been missing multiple playmakers due to injury for most of the season. Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) was the latest wide receiver to suffer an injury, leaving in the fourth quarter after getting drilled attempting a catch over the middle. It is too soon to tell his status for Week 18 but if he does miss the season finale, then Moreau might see more attention once again.

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz had six receptions for 72 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Dec. 29. He was targeted seven times.

Fantasy Spin: The veteran tight end put together his best all-around game of the season on Sunday, which included an impressive catch of the game-winning touchdown in overtime. While consistency has been an issue -- Week 17 was his first game of more than 40 yards since Nov. 14 -- he has scored in four of his last six games, including a 6-38-1 effort versus Dallas. Ertz is a serviceable TE1 in the final week of the season.
