Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah (foot) rushed for 115 yards on 20 carries during Sunday's Week 17 win over the New Orleans Saints. He also caught three of his four targets for an additional 32 yards through the air. Abdullah managed to approach the century-and-a-half mark for total scrimmage yards despite playing just three quarters. He registered his final touch on the first play of the fourth quarter, then proceeded to injure his foot. The Raiders listed him as questionable, but he did not return to the contest. Between Weeks 15 and 16, Abdullah ranked as the overall RB11 in PPR leagues, but it seemed like most of his value came from his pass-catching role and nose for the end zone. That wasn't the case in Week 17, though, as the majority of his fantasy points came from raw rushing yards. In fact, he didn't score a touchdown, and he also had his lowest receiving contributions since Week 14. His volume and efficiency allowed him to rank as the overall RB5 in PPR leagues for Week 17 so far, and he should be able to still rank inside the top-12 range once the rest of this week's games wrap up. In one of the bigger surprises of the 2024 season, if Abdullah can get healthy in time for Week 18, he'll likely rank as a solid RB2 option with significant upside against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce caught six of nine targets for 122 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-33 loss to the Giants. Both the target and catch totals were season highs, while it was the third time the speedy wideout has gone over 100 yards in a game this season. Although the 24-year-old is the third option behind Josh Downs and Michael Pittman Jr. with just 35 receptions on the year, he leads the Colts in receiving yards (767) and reception TDs (6) thanks to his league-leading average depth of target (aDOT). If Joe Flacco gets the start again next Sunday, Pierce could be in line for at least a few more accurately thrown long-balls before the season is out in a great home matchup versus the Jaguars.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall carried the ball 10 times for 45 yards and caught his lone target for an eight-yard gain in a 40-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 17. Hall was quiet in the blowout loss, although the Jets went pass-heavy after falling behind 33-0 in the third quarter. That being said, his slow performance is even more disappointing considering he caught just one pass with the Jets in comeback mode. The veteran running back has struggled over his past three games, failing to top 52 yards while scoring just once over that span. Hall will look to bounce back in the season finale against the Miami Dolphins in Week 18.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushed for just 59 yards on 20 carries during Sunday's Week 17 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He also caught two of his three targets for 14 yards through the air. Outside of a big 40-yard run, Tracy had an unproductive and inefficient showing as the Giants adopted a pass-heavy approach in their upset victory against Indianapolis. On a positive note, though, Tracy had four times as many carries as Devin Singletary, so there's no debate that the rookie remains New York's No. 1 running back going forward. He'll look to bounce back against the Philadelphia Eagles next week, but it won't be easy. In his last outing against the Eagles, he rushed for just 23 yards on six carries despite playing two-thirds of the offensive snaps.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis carried the ball three times for 35 yards and caught his lone target for an eight-yard gain in a 40-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 17. Davis averaged an impressive 11.7 yards per carry in his limited work while outperforming Braelon Allen for the third straight game. The Jets have nothing left to play for, which means there's an outside chance they could shut down starting running back Breece Hall heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, making Davis an interesting preemptive waiver add in fantasy leagues with championships that run through the regular-season finale.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft was solid in his limited opportunity in the Packers' 27-25 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. Kraft caught 2-of-3 passes from quarterback Jordan Love for 53 receiving yards and had the Packers' longest pass play of the day; a 35-yard strike from Love in the fourth quarter that helped to set up their first of two touchdowns in the final stanza. While the Packers had their most passing attempts since before their Week 10 bye, it wasn't enough for Green Bay to put up any sort of meaningful passing volume outside of Romeo Doubs' team-leading 11 targets. The Packers will host the Chicago Bears in their Week 18 finale and Kraft should be considered a streaming option at tight end for fantasy purposes.

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor completed 11 of his 14 passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns while adding six rushing yards on two carries and a two-point conversion pass in a 40-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 17. Taylor took over for Aaron Rodgers with the Jets down 33-0 in the fourth quarter and was able to spark the offense to two touchdowns, one apiece to Garrett Wilson and Tyler Conklin. Despite the impressive performance, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich told reporters after the game that Rodgers would remain the team's starter heading into the Week 18 season finale against the Miami Dolphins, which will push Taylor back to the QB2 role for the Jets.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed continued his steep backslide in consistency and production as the Packers fell to the Minnesota Vikings 27-25. Reed had been a bit disappointing of late with his fantasy production with a combined eight catches for 110 yards in his last three weeks combined, but he caught his only target for six yards in Green Bay's loss. With Christian Watson (knee) inactive for Week 17's game, the hope was that targets would condense to multiple weapons in the Packers' offense. However, it was Romeo Doubs, not Reed, who was the primary recipient of those looks from quarterback Jordan Love as Doubs led the Packers in targets. Consider Reed a low-end flex option when the Packers host the Chicago Bears in their Week 18 regular season finale.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed 15 of 28 passes for 203 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also took five sacks and rushed for eight yards. Although the Panthers were blown out by a score of 48-14, Young was able to play turnover-free football and add two touchdowns to his 2024 stat line. We would have liked to see a higher completion rate from the former No. 1 pick, but he still showed numerous flashes of upside, including an impressive 40-yard touchdown strike to Adam Thielen. Young has thrown for a touchdown in every game since returning from his midseason benching, specifically totaling 15 scores and six interceptions during that nine-week span. He will be a mid-to-high fantasy QB2 for Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons, but he could jump up to the low-end QB1 tier if the Panthers beef up their wide receiver corps during the next offseason.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs led the Packers in targets, receptions, and receiving yards in the Packers' 27-25 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. Doubs was the Packers' most consistent passing-game option on the afternoon, catching 7-of-11 targets for 58 yards from quarterback Jordan Love. The Packers had the most passing attempts they've had since before their Week 10 bye and Doubs was a big part of that in Week 17. With the Packers' regular season finale in Week 18 where they will host the Chicago Bears, Doubs should be considered a low-end flex option for fantasy managers.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks was a contributor to the Packers' effort but came up short as Green Bay lost to the Minnesota Vikings 27-25. Wicks caught 4-of-5 targets for 43 yards, finishing second on the team in targets on the afternoon. The recipient of quarterback Jordan Love's first two completions of the game, Wicks earned just one targets until the Packers' final drive of the game. Taking advantage of Christian Watson (knee) being inactive for the Packers in Week 17, Wicks was solid, but unspectacular. Wicks' fantasy value will be directly tied to Watson's availability in Week 18 when the Packers host the Chicago Bears in Week 18. For fantasy purposes, Wicks would be a dart-throw flex option if Watson doesn't suit up.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell completed 20 of his 35 pass attempts for 242 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 17 win over the New Orleans Saints. The 26-year-old has gone two consecutive starts without a turnover, giving Raider fans something to celebrate despite being eliminated from playoff contention. Furthermore, the Purdue product is working to establish himself as a starting-caliber quarterback in the NFL, whether he's auditioning for a 2025 job with the Raiders or another team. O'Connell will get one more chance to make an impact on film and the stat sheet when the Raiders finish off their regular season against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 18.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in 8-of-11 targets for 92 yards in his team's 27-25 win over the Green Bay Packers. Ho-hum. The fantasy stalwart was solid again, recording his fifth straight appearance with at least seven receptions and 73 receiving yards. The only thing missing from his line was a touchdown. Despite the scoreless outing, Jefferson still came through for fantasy managers -- racking up his thirteenth game with at least 15 fantasy points. His highlight of the day was a 37-yard catch-and-run early in the fourth quarter. The 25-year-old has now notched his third season of at least 100 receptions and 1,400 receiving yards in what's been one of the most outstanding starts to a wideout's career in NFL history. He'll square off with his division-rival Detroit Lions next week in a critical Week 18 contest.

Dynasty | Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims had eight catches for 103 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to the Bengals. Dynasty Analysis: Mims now has two different 100-yard efforts over the past four weeks and is quickly looking like the possible WR2 next to Courtland Sutton moving forward. With at least four targets in the past five games, he's also a lineup consideration for any leagues still playing next weekend. His dynasty value should creep up over the Spring and Summer.

Dynasty | Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey had eight catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns in a blowout win over the Patriots. Dynasty Analysis: McConkey has been great all year and now has 77 catches for 1,054 yards and seven touchdowns on the season. While much of the talk coming out of the draft revolved around the likes of Marvin Harrison Jr, Malik Nabers, and Rome Odunze, McConkey has been a tremendous find for the Chargers and looks like a lineup lock in dynasty leagues moving forward. His dynasty value will do nothing but rise 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.

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.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones handled 12 carries for 47 yards in his team's 27-25 win against the Minnesota Vikings. He chipped in another 30 yards on 4-of-5 receiving. The eighth-year pro was effective when he touched the ball but missed a good chunk of time in this one -- ceding way to teammate Cam Akers while he dealt with his ailment. Jones was never designated with an injury, but the broadcast team reported that he got stepped on at one point and was later seen with a wrap around his leg on the sidelines. He'd reenter the game but sat out the entirety of the fourth quarter. Minnesota was up 27-10 at the start of the final frame, and their lead is likely the reason why they rested the veteran. Still, it's notable that he remained out with the Packers, bringing the game to a two-point margin. He'll now rest up ahead of the Vikings' pivotal Week 18 meeting with the Detroit Lions. The winner of that matchup will clinch the NFC North and hold the top spot in the conference.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs continued his touchdown binge despite losing to the Minnesota Vikings 27-25. Jacobs saw the 17-of-23 running back carries in Week 17, rushing for 69 yards and a third-quarter touchdown to get the Packers within two scores. With the Packers down from the second quarter onward, the game script eventually shifted to passing in the fourth quarter, where Jacobs had just four carries in the second half. Jacobs also lost a 19-yard touchdown which was nullified by a holding penalty, so his output could have been even better. Still, Jacobs is the engine of the Packers' offense and should be a locked-in RB1 in the Packers' final regular season game against the Chicago Bears in Week 18.

Cleveland Browns RB D'Onta Foreman finished with 13 carries for a team-high 49 yards and failed to catch either of his targets in a 20-3 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 17.

Fantasy Spin: Foreman saw a bulk of the backfield touches when Jerome Ford left with an injury in the first half. Fellow back Pierre Strong Jr. also suffered an injury late in the game. Foreman could be the last back standing for the season finale, but even in that scenario, he is a risky flex play.
