Carolina Panthers running back Rodney Smith finished with 10 carries for 40 yards and a score along with one reception for four yards on one target in the Week 17 loss to the Saints. Smith was simply filling in as the lead back for this contest due to Christian McCaffrey (thigh) and Mike Davis (ankle) being held out with injuries. As a result, Smith has

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary was unable to finish out the regular season on a high note. To be fair, it wasn’t really his fault since the Bills only gave him three carries in the blowout victory over the Miami Dolphins. Singletary rushed three times for seven yards and caught one pass for six yards in Week 17. Rookie running back Antonio Williams saw

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph turned in a career day in a 24-22 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 17. Rudolph completed 22 of 39 passes for 315 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the game. He got off to a slow start, as the Pittsburgh offense was forced to punt on each of their first three possessions but the offense came to

Houston Texans running back David Johnson may have been overshadowed by Derrick Henry‘s monster performance, but he still had himself a good game. Johnson turned 17 touches into 120 scrimmage yards and a rushing touchdown in a narrow loss to Tennessee. The veteran back finished the season with three touchdowns and an average of 131 scrimmage yards over the last three contests. Johnson’s career in

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. wrapped up his rookie campaign with six receptions for 68 yards in Sunday’s loss to Indianapolis. Having seen nine targets in Week 17, Shenault averaged better than eight targets over the final four contests of the year, a positive sign for his season-long fantasy outlook come 2021. Part of the young, exciting Jaguars’ receiving corps moving forward, Shenault

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater went 13-for-23 for 176 yards and two picks in the season finale. Bridgewater was dealing with a foot injury in the game and ultimately couldn’t finish it. The QB had a rather underwhelming season from a fantasy standpoint. He had three total games with over 300 yards and no games with more than two passing touchdowns. Bridgewater is a risky

Buffalo Bills running back Antonio Williams was able to find the end zone twice during the Week 17 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Many fantasy managers might be thinking “who is this guy” which is fair considering this was his first taste of action in the NFL. He rushed 12 times for 63 yards and scored two touchdowns in the blowout victory. The Bills didn’t

The Cleveland Browns Defense failed to capitalize on an excellent matchup against the Mason Rudolph-led Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. Cleveland managed just one sack and forced just one turnover, a Rudolph interception, in a 24-22 win. The sack was provided by Olivier Vernon, who later had to be carted to the locker room after suffering an ankle injury in the fourth quarter. Vernon is

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mike Glennon completed 26 of 42 passes during Sunday’s defeat to the Colts, ending his 2020 campaign with two passing touchdowns and zero interceptions to his credit. Glennon exceeded the 200-yard plateau in four of his five starts, racking up multiple passing scores in three of those outings. He finishes the year 0-5 as the team’s starter, and he likely heads into

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had seemingly no issues against the Miami Dolphins in Week 17. He completed 18 of 25 passing attempts for 224 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in the blowout victory. Allen was rested during the second half because the Bills were absolutely destroying Miami. He finishes the regular season with an impressive 45 touchdowns on the year. Allen also

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper turned in a solid outing in a 24-22 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. Hooper caught four of five targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in the win, leading the Browns to their first playoff appearance since the 2002 season. The veteran tight end’s touchdown came on a two-yard pass in the third quarter, giving Cleveland

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines had a productive end to the regular season. He had just two rushing attempts for 17 yards but paced the team in receiving with six catches for 50 yards. Hines demonstrated his importance for most of the season, especially in the passing game, finishing with 63 catches. Jonathan Taylor is certainly the running back of the future, but Hines

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry caught five of six targets for 51 yards and added a three-yard rushing touchdown in a 24-22 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. On the touchdown, Landry got the handoff on a jet sweep and bowled through safety Minkah Fitzpatrick’s tackle attempt at the goal line to give the Browns six points. Cleveland will be road underdogs

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson completed 28 of 39 passes for 365 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in a 41-38 loss to the Titans. Down 24-9, Watson proceeded to lead his team to three scoring drives, two of which ended with touchdown passes to Brandin Cooks. The Texans may have gone 4-12, but it was no fault of their star quarterback, whose numbers are

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt turned in another quiet performance in a 24-22 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. Hunt finished with just 37 yards on 10 carries and added a four-yard reception in the win. While backfield-mate Nick Chubb flourished in the game, Hunt struggled to find room to run, often getting stopped for little to no gain. Trending down heading

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb turned in a solid effort in his team’s 24-22 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. Chubb carried the ball 14 times for 108 yards and a touchdown, helping to propel the Browns to their first playoff appearance since the 2002 season. His touchdown came on an impressive play where he ripped off a 47-yard run and broke

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor had his best day as a pro against the Jaguars, rushing for 253 yards and two touchdowns on 8.4 yards per carry. Taylor had an impressive rookie campaign, totaling over 1100 yards and picking up double-digit touchdowns. He had some struggles in the middle of the season but clearly showed over the last six weeks why he is the

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Dare Ogunbowale was the unquestioned No. 1 back during Sunday’s loss to Indianapolis, but he was unable to capitalize on the increased touches. Ogunbowale carried the ball 14 times for 50 rushing yards, adding four catches for 22 receiving yards, although the Colts Defense kept him from crossing the goal line. He finishes the season with 145 yards on the ground

The New Orleans Saints Defense was dominant in a 33-7 victory over the Carolina Panthers. New Orleans intercepted a season-high five passes and recorded three sacks in the blowout win. The defensive line harassed quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and forced him into some errant throws, then proceeded to do the same thing to backup P.J. Walker. This was the kind of performance to boost the team’s

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook had another productive game in a win over the Panthers. Cook produced 43 receiving yards and a touchdown catch, his seventh of the season. The veteran tight end caught a pass down the seam from Drew Brees with multiple Panthers surrounding him- the two seem to be getting on the same page at the right time. Cook has
