Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis earned six carries and turned that into just nine yards in Sunday's 40-17 win over the New York Jets. He added one reception for four yards as well. As expected, Davis took a clear back seat over James Cook; however, Ty Johnson was also involved and was more effective than Davis on the ground, totaling 25 yards on his five total opportunities. With the Bills' victory in Week 17, they are locked into the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoff picture, making it possible for Davis to get started in Week 18. If that's the case, and based on Johnson's involvement, fantasy managers can expect them to split the backfield if the Bills decide to rest Cook against the New England Patriots for the regular season finale.

New York Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich reiterated on Monday what he said following the blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in Week 17: That the team plans to start quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Miami Dolphins. The Jets' season was over a while ago, but the Dolphins playoffs hopes are still alive heading into the final week of the regular season. The wheels fell off for Rodgers and the 4-12 Jets on Sunday against the Bills, with the 41-year-old future Hall of Famer looking checked out while going just 12-for-18 for 112 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the 40-14 loss. He was pulled late in favor of journeyman Tyrod Taylor, but it looks like Rodgers will get one more start in what is expected to be his final game with Gang Green. From a big-picture perspective, Rodgers needs one more TD for 500 in his illustrious career.

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said that running back Aaron Jones (quadriceps) isn't dealing with a major injury after being pulled late in the Week 17 win over the division-rival Green Bay Packers on Sunday with a quadriceps contusion. Jones tried to get his quad worked on over on the sideline late in the fourth quarter, but out of an abundance of caution, he did not return against Green Bay. While Jones' status will be somewhat in question for the huge Week 18 showdown against the Detroit Lions, which will decide the top seed in the NFC playoff picture, he should be able to play. If Jones is limited at all because of the injury, Cam Akers would benefit from more touches out of the backfield in a tough matchup. The 30-year-old Jones finished Sunday's game with 12 carries for 47 yards while catching four of his five targets for an additional 30 yards.

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert earned eight opportunities on the ground and through the air, turning that into 19 all-purpose yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Cleveland Browns. He had six carries for three yards while catching both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's victory. This type of production has been par for the course for Mostert in 2024. After having a career season last year, Mostert has taken a clear backseat to De'Von Achane in 2025. In Week 18, the Dolphins travel to New York to take on the Jets, and Mostert can be left on the bench for fantasy managers as he is not getting enough volume and opportunities to be fantasy-relevant.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kenny Pickett (ribs), who made the start in place of the injured Jalen Hurts (concussion) in the Week 17 blowout win over the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, came into the game with broken ribs. Pickett played through the injury but then aggravated his ribs late in the second half and was pulled in favor of third-stringer Tanner McKee, who tossed two touchdowns himself. The Eagles are locked into the No. 2 seed in the NFC now and have nothing to play for in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival New York Giants, which means Pickett's status becomes more important. The Eagles will likely rest Hurts, who is dealing with a broken finger on his left (non-throwing) hand in addition to his concussion. If Pickett cannot play next Sunday, McKee could be in line to make his first NFL start in the regular-season finale.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington hauled in four receptions for 41 yards on five targets in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Cleveland Browns. He also lost 11 yards in his only rushing attempt. With fellow receiver Jaylen Waddle (knee) out in Week 17, Washington moved up in the pecking order and made the most of his five targets. Those five targets were second on the team to Tyreek Hill's nine. Washington has been coming on of late, earning four-plus targets in three straight games. The rookie receiver out of Virginia is showing that he belongs in the NFL, and he will look to keep that going next Sunday when the Dolphins travel to New York to take on the Jets. Washington remains a WR4 for Week 18 but is making the most of his opportunities. Washington has shown flashes of what he can do in the NFL, and he is becoming a nice bench stash in dynasty leagues.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder hauled in three of his five targets over 25 yards in Sunday night's 30-24 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Crowder has missed most of the season due to a calf injury. The veteran wideout returned from injured reserve in Week 15 and has slowly played more snaps and seen more targets in each game he has played. The three receptions were third on the team behind Zach Ertz and Olamide Zaccheaus. The Commanders clinched a playoff spot with their win in Week 17, so it is uncertain how head coach Dan Quinn will want to play things in Week 18 versus the Dallas Cowboys. Crowder's recent uptick in snap percentage and target share puts him on the WR4 map for Week 18.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange, who has been plagued by inconsistency as starter, finished with zero fantasy points in a 20-13 win over the Tennessee Titans. Strange coming into the game was likely considered by some fantasy managers as a potential starting tight end as a touchdown dependent boom-or-bust option. Given the volatility of the position, that was a fair thought process. However, given the Jaguars lackluster offense, a dud was always possible. Besides Week 15 where he put up 11 catches for 73 yards, Strange has combined for seven catches since Week 10. He has shown flashes since taking over as starter after Evan Engram got injured, but not enough to warrant being a reliable fantasy option going forward. Strange and the Jaguars face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18 to round out the season.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby was out touched by teammate Travis Etienne Jr. in a 20-13 win over the Tennessee Titans. He finished with 11 carries for 33 yards. Bigsby has had an interesting season. Etienne Jr. has struggled, opening the door for Bigsby to take over as starter. He shined early on in the season, then got hurt, and hasn't been able to seize the starting role again since. He did receive double digit carries each of the last four weeks, but without better efficiency and more pass game involvement, he isn't anything more than a touchdown-dependent fantasy option. On an offense that doesn't score much, that is not ideal. Bigsby will look to improve his efficiency on likely decent volume in Week 18 against the Indianapolis Colts.

The Miami Dolphins defense/special teams took care of the Cleveland Browns offense on Sunday, holding them to a lone field goal while forcing two turnovers and a sack in a 20-3 victory that preserved their playoff chances for another week. With Cleveland playing third-string quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Miami's defense held the Browns to 276 on 76 plays, including a paltry 3.4 yards per completion. On a day with poor weather and an injured starting quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa (hip), the Miami defense certainly did its part to earn the win. The Dolphins will conclude the regular season at the New York Jets in Week 18.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. put up 75 total yards on 16 touches in a 20-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The 25-year-old back out of Clemson finished with 15 carries for 49 yards and one catch for 26 yards. Etienne Jr. once again got a larger share of backfield touches than teammate Tank Bigsby. The even split throughout the season has greatly limited each player's fantasy value, and that didn't change in Week 17. The passing game was surprisingly more efficient in this game, with Etienne Jr. and Bigsby both averaging around three yards per carry. Mac Jones also tossed two touchdowns including one from two yards out, while the running game couldn't find the end zone. Overall, Etienne Jr. has been one of the most disappointing fantasy players this season. The Jaguars face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18.

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.

From RotoBaller

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.
