With two weeks left in the fantasy season and three left in the regular season, I am going to take a moment to level set and evaluate players approaching significant statistical milestones.
Arizona Cardinals
RB James Conner - 717 rushing yards - Conner has an outside chance at his first 1,000-yard rushing season, needing to average 94.3 yards per game over the last three weeks. He is 65 yards away from his second-best season. He is quietly having one of his most efficient seasons; his 5.01 yards per carry are a career-high.
TE Trey McBride - 66 receptions, 712 receiving yards - Jackie Smith holds the franchise record for most receiving yards for a tight end, with 1,205. McBride is 98 yards away from his second-best total, 810 yards. He entered Week 15 with 56 receptions, tied with Smith and Zach Ertz for the most by a tight end in franchise history. His ten receptions against the 49ers establish a new single-season high.
Atlanta Falcons
RB Bijan Robinson - 801 rushing yards - Robinson is 199 yards away from giving the Falcons their second rookie back over 1,000 yards in as many seasons with Tyler Allgeier hitting the number in 2022.
Baltimore Ravens
QB Lamar Jackson - 3,105 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, 741 rushing yards, five touchdowns - Jackson has his second 3,000-yard passing season. The result of Year 1 in Todd Monken's offense has been slightly more pass attempts per game, with fewer rush attempts per game as an offset. Jackson is posting his career-high completion percentage, but touchdown variance is likely a significant factor compared to his MVP season in 2019. That year, his 9.0% touchdown rate led the league, while his 4.2% is one of the lowest in his career. He still has a chance at a 1,000-yard rushing season, though the 86.3 yards per game needed is well above his weekly average 52.9.
RB Gus Edwards - 663 rushing yards, 11 touchdowns - Edwards is 60 yards off his career high in rushing yards. The big story is his 11 rushing touchdowns, three short of Jamal Lewis's team record of 14 in 2003.
WR Zay Flowers- 65 receptions, 680 receiving yards, three touchdowns - Flowers's 65 receptions are a team rookie record, passing Torrey Smith's 50 from 2011. Smith holds the rookie yardage record at 841; Flowers must average 53.67 yards per game to break it.
Buffalo Bills
QB Josh Allen - 3,541 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, 398 rushing yards, 11 touchdowns - Allen needs 459 passing yards and four touchdowns for his fourth straight 4,000-yard / 30 touchdown season. His 11 rushing touchdowns are a career-high, and he is one away from 50 in his career. He is closing in on the franchise's all-time lead, held by Thurman Thomas with 65. He is rushing less, a stated goal of the team, with 28.4 yards per game, the second-lowest total of his career, down from the 46 yards per game he averaged over the last two seasons.
RB James Cook - 968 rushing yards, two touchdowns, 40 receptions, 433 receiving yards, four touchdowns - LeSean McCoy was the last 1,000-yard rusher for the team in 2017. Cook's stat line is beginning to resemble Thurman Thomas's prime years. From 1989 to 1996, Thomas averaged 1,235 rushing yards, 47 receptions, and 458 receiving yards. Thomas averaged a 1,358 - 57 - 614 line in his best four seasons.
WR Stefon Diggs - 91 receptions, 1,041 yards, eight touchdowns - Diggs topped 1,000 yards for his sixth straight season. He is nine catches from his fourth consecutive 100-reception year. He has cleared ten touchdowns in each of the last two years. Diggs is in fourth place in the Bills career reception and touchdown list and fifth in yardage. He needs 27 receptions, 704 yards, and six touchdowns to move into third behind Andre Reed and Eric Moulds in all three categories.
Carolina Panthers
RB Chuba Hubbard - 731 rushing yards - Hubbard recorded his second straight 87-yard rushing game, averaging 92 yards per game since Frank Reich was let go as head coach. He would need to maintain that average, needing 90 yards per game to hit 1,000 yards. He has 70 carries over his last three games; only Saquon Barkley and Zack Moss have three-game spans with more carries in 2023.
WR Adam Thielen - 89 receptions, 870 receiving yards - Thielen's career highs are 113 receptions and 1,373 yards in 2018. He would need to average eight receptions and 168 yards per game to hit those numbers. He is two catches away from matching the second-best number, with 91 in 2017. Another 130 yards would give him his third 1,000-yard season. The Panthers only have four 100-catch seasons in their franchise history, with Christian McCaffrey's 116 in 2019 the franchise record.
Chicago Bears
WR D.J. Moore - 80 receptions, 1,123 yards, seven touchdowns - Moore is 13 receptions and 70 yards away from establishing new career highs. His seven touchdowns tie a career-high. He also added his first career rushing touchdown. His 80 receptions are the 17th most in franchise history, and his yardage total is the 13th most. He can still climb to the top five in franchise history in both.
Cincinnati Bengals
RB Joe Mixon - 815 rushing yards, eight touchdowns, 45 receptions, 341 yards, one touchdown - Mixon is 185 yards from his fourth 1,000-yard season. His eight touchdowns are the second most of his career, trailing 13 in 2021. His 45 receptions and 341 yards are the second most of his career, trailing 60-441 in 2022. He needs 254 yards to tie James Brooks for second on the Bengals' career rushing list. His 48 touchdowns are tied with Rudi Johnson for second on the career list, trailing Pete Johnson's 64.
WR Ja'Marr Chase - 93 receptions, 1,156 yards, seven touchdowns - Chase has established a career-high in receptions; with seven more catches, he joins Carl Pickens and T.J. Houshmandzadeh as the only players with 100 catch seasons in Bengals' history. Chase suffered a shoulder injury, and his ability to continue to add to these numbers in 2023 is an open question.
Cleveland Browns
WR Amari Cooper - 61 receptions, 985 yards - Cooper's career high in receptions is 92; he is unlikely to get there. He does have a chance to set a career-high in receiving yards, needing 204 to meet his high of 1,189.
TE David Njoku - 69 receptions, 704 yards, five touchdowns - Njoku has career highs across the board. Njoku has a chance to establish the single-season franchise record in receptions, a record held by Ozzie Newsome (twice) and Kellen Winslow with 89.
Dallas Cowboys
QB Dak Prescott - 3,639 passing yards, 28 touchdowns - Prescott is 361 yards away from his third 4,000-yard passing season and two touchdowns from his third 30-passing touchdown year. He has an outside chance to top his career-high 37 touchdowns, needing nine over the last three games. He is closing in on the Cowboys' all-time passing leaderboard. His 28,582 yards are third behind Tony Romo (34,183) and Troy Aikman (32,942). His 194 career touchdowns are second to Romo's 248.
RB Tony Pollard - 848 rushing yards, five touchdowns, 51 receptions, 290 receiving yards - The Cowboys have 31 1,000-yard seasons in team history; Pollard can be the 32nd with 152 yards. With 28 rushing yards, he will move past Herschel Walker for tenth on the team's career rushing list. There have been 14 seasons in Cowboys history with 800+ rushing yards and 50+ receptions, but only two with 1,000 rushing yards and 60+ receptions: Ezekiel Elliott (2018) and Emmitt Smith (1995).
WR CeeDee Lamb - 103 receptions, 1,306 receiving yards, eight touchdowns - Lamb recorded his second straight 100 catch season, the fourth in franchise history. He is eight catches away from Michael Irvin's single-season record of 111 in 1995. His 1,306 is the tenth most, but he is 90 yards away from the third-highest total. He would need 297 yards, an average of 99 per game, to break Irvin's single-season record of 1,603. He needs one more touchdown to equal his career high and two to record the 19th double-digit touchdown season for the franchise.
Denver Broncos
QB Russell Wilson - 2,832 passing yards, 24 touchdowns - Wilson has topped 3,000 yards every year of his career. One more touchdown pass gives him his ninth season at 25 or more. He needs 1,197 yards to pass Drew Bledsoe for 17th all-time and 11 touchdowns to pass Fran Tarkenton for 12th.
Detroit Lions
QB Jared Goff - 3,727 passing yards, 26 touchdowns - Goff needs 273 yards for his fourth 4,000 yards season and six touchdowns to establish a new career high. Equaling his career-high of 32 touchdowns would also tie Matthew Stafford and Scott Mitchell for the second-best season in team history. He stands sixth in team history in career passing yards and is 1,238 yards from passing Scott Mitchell for third place. Six passing touchdowns would also take him from fifth place into a tie with Greg Landry for third in franchise touchdowns.
RB David Montgomery - 855 rushing yards, ten touchdowns - Montgomery needs 145 yards for the 20th 1,000-yard season in team history. Jamaal Williams posted 1,066 in 2022; Kevin Jones was the last back to hit 1,000 yards before that in 2004. Montgomery's ten touchdowns passed his previous career high of eight from 2020.
RB Jahmyr Gibbs - 792 rushing yards, seven touchdowns, 47 receptions, 296 receiving yards, one touchdown - Gibbs and Montgomery have a chance to be eighth teammates in NFL history with 1,000-yard rushing seasons and the first since Lamar Jackson and Mark Ingram in 2019. Gibbs already has the sixth-highest rookie rushing total in team history and can move in fourth with 184 yards. Gibbs is the second Lions rookie running back with at least 792 rushing yards and 47 receptions. With 16 receptions, he would move into the third-highest total in team history by a running back.
WR Amon-Ra St. Brown - 94 receptions, 1,175 receiving yards, seven touchdowns - St. Brown has established new career highs in receiving yards and touchdowns, topping his 1,161 and six from 2022. He needs 12 receptions to match his high of 106 from 2022. With six catches, he would record the seventh franchise 100-catch season. An additional 164 receiving yards move him past Germane Crowell for the sixth most in a season.
TE Sam LaPorta - 71 receptions, 758 receiving yards, nine touchdowns - LaPorta's 71 receptions are the second most by a Lions rookie, trailing St. Brown's 90 from 2021. His 758 yards are the third most by a rookie, with St. Brown's 912 the most. He already holds the franchise record with nine touchdown catches as a rookie. The only rookie tight ends with more touchdowns are Mike Ditka with 12 and Rob Gronkowski with 10. His 758 yards are the sixth most by a rookie tight end, with third-place Jeremy Shockey's in sight, 136 yards away. He is 11 catches away from breaking Keith Jackson's rookie record 81.
Green Bay Packers
QB Jordan Love - 3,368 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, 90.8 passer rating, 62.6 completion percentage - It is hard not to compare Love's first year with Aaron Rodgers' first year. The similarities are striking. Rodgers threw for 4,038 yards, 28 touchdowns, a 93.8 passer rating, and a 63.6 completion percentage. Love is on pace for 4,090 yards and 30 touchdowns with an extra game.
Houston Texans
QB C.J. Stroud - 3,631 passing yards, 20 touchdowns - Stroud's yards are the seventh-highest total in franchise history, and his touchdowns rank 20th. Andrew Luck holds the NFL record for rookie passing yards with 4,374. Stroud would need to average 248 yards per game to break the record. Justin Herbert has the rookie record with 31 passing touchdowns. Stroud already holds the franchise rookie record in both.
WR Nico Collins - 60 receptions, 1,004 receiving yards, six touchdowns - Collins' has the 15th 1,000-yard receiving season in franchise history. His ultimate ranking is the big question. Andre Johnson's 1,216 in 2010 for the eighth-best season is the most realistic he can climb.
Indianapolis Colts
WR Michael Pittman Jr - 99 receptions, 1,062 yards, four touchdowns - Pittman Jr. has tied his career high in receptions, is 20 yards off his career high in yardage, and is two touchdowns from his career-best season. The Colts have nine 100-catch seasons in their history, with Reggie Wayne in 2012 the last to do it.
WR Josh Downs - 57 receptions, 631 yards, two touchdowns - Bill Brooks holds the team record for receptions by a rookie with 65. Downs would need to average just 2.67 over the last three to break it.
Jacksonville Jaguars
QB Trevor Lawrence - 3,525 passing yards, 18 touchdowns, 300 rushing yards, four touchdowns - Lawrence is 475 yards away from back-to-back 4,000 yard passing seasons. He is bumping up against a dubious distinction. In NFL history, there have been ten seasons of over 4,000 passing yards and 20 or fewer touchdowns. Trent Green holds the "record" with just 17 touchdowns in his 4,014-yard 2005 season. The last player to join the club was Derek Carr in 2018. His 300 rushing yards are 34 off his career high, set as a rookie in 2021.
RB Travis Etienne - 837 rushing yards, nine touchdowns, 48 receptions, 411 receiving yards, one touchdown - Etienne is looking to post the 15th 1,000-yard season in team history and do it in each of his first two full seasons. If he can get there without raising his yards per attempt, he would be the 48th player with 1,000 and 3.7 yards per carry or fewer. The last to accomplish it was Cedric Benson in 2010. He is two catches away from being the fourth back in franchise history with 800+ rushing yards and 50+ receptions (see, I said something nice about the Jaguars).
WR Calvin Ridley - 60 receptions, 781 yards, five touchdowns - Ridley is five receptions and 85 yards away from his second-best statistical season in those two categories.
TE Evan Engram - 88 receptions, 729 yards, three touchdowns - Engram set the franchise record for receptions by a tight end, topping his previous record of 73. He can be the third player in franchise history to post a 100-reception season. He is 37 yards from beating his franchise record for tight end receiving yards. There have been nine 100-catch seasons by a tight end in NFL history, a club Engram can crack.
Kansas City Chiefs
QB Patrick Mahomes II - 3,703 passing yards, 25 touchdowns - Mahomes is heading for his lowest statistical output since 2019, when he posted 4,031 yards and 26 touchdowns. His most interesting current statistical pursuit is closing the gap on Len Dawson's franchise record of 28,507 yards and 237 touchdowns. Mahomes is 563 yards and 20 touchdowns away from toppling the two numbers.
TE Travis Kelce - 85 receptions, 924 receiving yards, five touchdowns - Kelce is six catches away from 900 in his career and 22 away from tying Tony Gonzalez for the franchise lead. He needs 76 yards for his eighth straight 1,000-yard season. He passed DeSean Jackson in Week 15 with 11,268 career yards and sits 105 behind Keenan McCardell for 37th. Kelce (894), Keenan Allen (904), Julio Jones (908), and DeAndre Hopkins (910) are all jumbled close together on the career receptions list.
WR Rashee Rice - 68 receptions, 754 yards, seven touchdowns - Rice is on the verge of breaking every Chiefs rookie receiving record. Dwayne Bowe holds the receptions (70) and yardage (995) records, while Mark Boerigter holds the touchdown record at eight. Given Rice's current production trends, all three should fall.
Las Vegas Raiders
QB Aidan O'Connell - 1,613 passing yards, eight touchdowns - O'Connell has the second-best statistical season by a Raiders rookie quarterback, trailing Derek Carr's 3,270-21 season in 2014.
RB Josh Jacobs - 805 rushing yards, six touchdowns, 37 receptions, 296 receiving yards - It is unclear if Jacobs will play again in 2023 as the Raiders' playoff hopes are slim. Jacobs is trying for his fourth 1,000-yard season in his first five years. His 5,545 rushing yards and 46 touchdowns sit third on the Raiders all-time list, 362 yards behind Mark van Eeghen for second, and one touchdown behind Pete Banaszak. Marcus Allen is the franchise leader in both categories, with 8,545 yards and 79 touchdowns. Jacobs may have played his last game as a Raider, given his contract status.
WR Davante Adams - 84 receptions, 968 yards, five touchdowns - Adams needs 16 catches for his fifth 100-catch season and 32 yards for the same amount of 1,000-yard seasons. He is 31st all-time, sitting seven catches behind Muhsin Muhammad. His yardage total is 45th in NFL history, and his 92 touchdowns tie Mike Evans and Rob Gronkowski for 12th.
Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers were eliminated from the playoffs in Week 15, and Justin Herbert and Keenan Allen may be finished for the season.
RB Austin Ekeler - 506 rushing yards, five touchdowns, 40 receptions, 373 receiving yards, one touchdown - Ekeler needs 27 receiving yards to extend a streak of 500 rushing and 400 receiving yards that dates back to 2018. He is fifth on the franchise rushing list but only needs 65 yards to pass Marion Butts and move into third. His 39 touchdowns are third and four behind Chuck Muncie's 43. LaDainian Tomlinson is first in both categories with 12,490 yards and 138 touchdowns. Unlikely, Ekeler will gain the 8,257 yards and 99 touchdowns needed to pass him. Ekeler also sits seventh on the team's all-time receptions list, 64 away from sixth place Lance Alworth.
WR Keenan Allen - 108 receptions, 1,243 receiving yards, seven touchdowns - If Allen is done for the year, it will be a statistical disappointment as his reception total is a career-high and broke the franchise record of 107 previously set by Ekeler. He is one touchdown and 150 receiving yards away from new highs in those categories. Allen's 904 career catches are 51 away from Antonio Gates' team record 955. He needs 1,311 to pass Gates' franchise record of 11,841. He sits in third place with 59 touchdowns, 22 behind second-place Lance Alworth.
Los Angeles Rams
QB Matthew Stafford - 3,320 passing yards, 21 touchdowns - Stafford is closing in on Eli Manning and a top 10 career passing total, needing 1,621. Manning also represents the threshold for the top 10 in career passing touchdowns, with 366 to Stafford's 354. Stafford is already ninth on the Rams' career passing yardage list, needing 784 passing yards to pass Bob Waterfield. If he cracks the 4,000-yard barrier, it will be the tenth time in his career.
RB Kyren Williams - 953 rushing yards, eight touchdowns, 30 receptions, 192 receiving yards - The Rams have had 33 1,000-yard rushing seasons, and Williams needs just 47 yards to join the club. His 95.3 yards per game are the eighth best in franchise history. He is two touchdowns from becoming the 21st player to rush for ten.
WR Puka Nacua - 87 receptions, 1,163 receiving yards, four touchdowns - Nacua's 87 receptions are the 11th most by a rookie. Jaylen Waddle holds the rookie record with 104. His yardage total is the ninth most, a record held by Bill Groman with 1,473. He has the Rams' rookie records in both categories.
Miami Dolphins
QB Tua Tagovailoa - 3,921 passing yards, 25 touchdowns - Tagovailoa has established career highs in passing yardage and touchdowns and has the 4,000 yard barrier in sight. He would be the ninth Dolphin to hit that mark and the first since Ryan Tannehill in 2015. If he averaged 275 over the final three games, he would finish with the second-highest total in team history. His 25 touchdowns pull him into a tie for eighth-most with Dan Marino's 1991 season. Five in the final three games would push him to a tie for the third most.
RB Raheem Mostert - 966 rushing yards, 18 touchdowns - Mostert currently sits with the 17th-highest single-season franchise total in rush yards. With 34 more, he will be the fifteenth to run for 1,000, a number the franchise has not hit since Jay Ajayi in 2016. His 18 touchdowns are a team record.
WR Tyreek Hill - 97 receptions, 1,542 yards, 12 touchdowns - Hill's pursuit of 2,000 receiving yards took a big hit after he missed Week 15. He needs to average 153 yards per game over the last three weeks to hit the mark. He has the second-best season in team history in receiving yards, trailing his 1,710 from 2022. He is three receptions from the fifth 100-catch season for the Dolphins. His 12 touchdowns are a tie with Mark Clayton for the third-best year, with Clayton's 18 in 1984 the franchise high-water mark. Career-wise, he sits right on the edge of 10,000 career yards, needing 118 more, and five more receptions would hit 700.
Minnesota Vikings
WR Jordan Addison - 62 receptions, 824 receiving yards, nine touchdowns - Addison's 62 receptions are the third most by a rookie in team history, trailing Justin Jefferson (88) and Randy Moss (69). His 824 yards are the fifth most, needing 83 to pass Sammy White for third on the franchise list. His nine touchdowns are also third; he needs one to equal White.
TE T.J. Hockenson - 91 receptions, 902 yards, five touchdowns - Hockenson established a new career high in receptions and is 12 yards away from a high in yardage. One more touchdown will also tie his career high. He holds the single-season franchise record in tight end catches and needs 102 yards to equal Joe Senser's tight end yardage high. Like Engram, he has a shot to break into the 100-catch tight end club.
New England Patriots
RB Ezekiel Elliott - 522 rushing yards, two touchdowns, 36 receptions, 247 receiving yards - Elliott is 216 rush yards away from 9,000 for his career. Elliott and Derrick Henry are the only two active running backs with over 6,600 career rushing yards. At 70 career touchdowns, he is in 34th place on the career list.
New Orleans Saints
RB Alvin Kamara - 630 rushing yards, five touchdowns, 68 receptions, 446 receiving yards - Kamara is third on the franchise rushing list, 397 from second place Deuce McAllister and 801 from Mark Ingram. Seven receptions put him at 500 career catches; he sits fifth on the franchise list.
New York Giants
RB Saquon Barkley - 797 rushing yards, three touchdowns, 33 receptions, 206 receiving yards - Barkley is 203 yards from his fourth 1,000-yard season. He needs 41 yards to pass Brandon Jacobs for fourth on the franchise career list and 250 to pass Joe Morris for third.
WR Chris Olave - 72 receptions, 918 receiving yards, four touchdowns - With 82 receiving yards, Olave would record his second 1,000-yard season in as many career years.
New York Jets
WR Garrett Wilson - 79 receptions, 882 yards, three touchdowns - Wilson is the sole bright spot in the Jets offense, given the absence of Aaron Rodgers and the disappointing season from Breece Hall. Another 118 yards put him at 1,000 for the year, becoming the 27th 1,000-yard season in Jets' history.
Philadelphia Eagles
QB Jalen Hurts - 3,335 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, 542 rushing yards, 14 rushing touchdowns - The Eagles have one 4,000-yard season in their history, Carson Wentz’s 4,039 yards in 2019. Hurts needs to average 235 yards per game to top the mark. Hurts moved into a tie with Cam Newton for 14 rushing touchdowns; Newton posted a 21 passing touchdown - 14 rushing touchdown season. Hurts’ next rushing touchdown will be the most by a quarterback in NFL history. Hurts can join another club if he reaches 4,000 passing yards. Josh Allen, Deshaun Watson, Cam Newton, and Russell Wilson are the only players to pass for over 4,000 yards while rushing for over 500. Allen and Newton are the only ones to rush for over 700 yards.
RB D’Andre Swift - 896 rushing yards, four touchdowns, 38 receptions, 209 receiving yards, one touchdown - Swift needs 104 yards for his first 1,000 rushing yard season. With 12 more receptions on top of that yardage, he would join Lesean McCoy, Brian Westbrook, Ricky Watters, and Duce Staley as Eagles running backs with 1,000 rushing yards and 50 receptions.
WR A.J. Brown - 95 receptions, 1,314 receiving yards, seven touchdowns - Brown is five receptions away from the second 100 catch season in Eagles history. He has an outside shot of catching Zach Ertz’s single-season record of 116. Brown’s 1,496 receiving yards in 2022 are the franchise record, and Mike Quick’s 1,409 in 1983 are the only 1,400 yards in team history. Brown can still top his record mark by averaging 61 yards per game.
WR DeVonta Smith - 74 receptions, 957 receiving yards, six touchdowns - The Eagles have one season of two 1,000-yard receivers in 2022. Smith can make it two in a row with 43 more yards.
Pittsburgh Steelers
WR George Pickens - 52 receptions, 814 yards, two touchdowns - Pickens needs 186 yards to top 1,000. That would be the 32nd season above 1,000 in franchise history.
San Francisco 49ers
QB Brock Purdy - 3,795 passing yards, 29 touchdowns - With 205 yards, Purdy would be the fourth 49er to top 4,000 yards. He is 483 yards from Jeff Garcia's franchise record of 4,278. He is seven touchdowns away from Steve Young's record 36. Purdy's 119.0 passer rating was just off Aaron Rodgers' record 122.5 rating in 2011.
RB Christian McCaffrey - 1,292 rushing yards, 13 touchdowns, 57 receptions, 509 receiving yards, seven touchdowns - McCaffrey's 1,292 yards are the fourth most in franchise history. Frank Gore (1,695), Garrison Hearst (1,570), and Roger Craig (1,502) round out the top three. His 13 touchdowns are a franchise record, topping multiple players tied with ten. With one more reception, he will have 500 for his career. McCaffrey is sitting just above 6,000 career rushing yards (6,018), 50 career rushing touchdowns (51), and 4,000 career receiving yards (4,265). There are 12 players in NFL history with that combination. Eight of those players have 500 career receptions. Only one of those players (Marshall Faulk) can top McCaffrey's career 29 receiving touchdowns.
WR Brandon Aiyuk - 59 receptions, 1,090 yards, six touchdowns - Aiyuk recorded his second consecutive 1,000-yard season. Only Jerry Rice (12) and Terrell Owens (5) have more in franchise history. His 1,090 yards are a career-high, and his 18.5 yards per reception lead the league.
TE George Kittle - 55 receptions, 865 yards, six touchdowns - Kittle recently passed Vernon Davis to hold the franchise record for tight end receptions. He is fifth on the team overall list, 58 away from Roger Craig for third place. His 6,119 yards are also tops among tight ends; he needs 631 yards to pass Dwight Clark for third place. With 135 yards, he will have his third 1,000-yard season. The only tight ends with more than three are Travis Kelce (7), Rob Gronkowski (4), Jason Witten (4), and Tony Gonzalez (4).
Seattle Seahawks
WR D.K. Metcalf - 56 receptions, 942 yards, seven touchdowns - Metcalf is 58 yards from his third 1,000 yard season. He has a chance to break his own franchise record of 1,303 yards in 2020, needing 121 yards per game.
WR Tyler Lockett - 68 receptions, 732 yards, four touchdowns - Lockett is second to Steve Largent in every franchise career category. He needs 168 yards to top 8,000 for his career and two touchdowns give him 60.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
QB Baker Mayfield - 3,315 passing yards, 24 touchdowns - Mayfield is 512 yards and three touchdowns away from establishing new career highs in both categories. His 94.7 passer rating is the second-best total of his career, trailing only a 95.9 mark in 2020. The Buccaneers have had a player pass for 4,000 yards yearly in 2018; Mayfield needs to average 229 yards per game to hit that number.
RB Rachaad White - 834 rushing yards, 469 receiving yards - White is the fourth back in Buccaneers' history with 800 rushing yards and 450 receiving yards, joining Warrick Dunn, Leonard Fournette, Doug Martin, and James Wilder. Wilder, with 1,544 and 685, is the only one to top 1,000 and 500 in each category.
WR Mike Evans - 66 receptions, 1,077 yards, 11 touchdowns - Evans' record tenth straight 1,000-yard season has been news. Evans sits 117 yards behind Calvin Johnson for 33rd on the all-time receiving yardage list. His 92 career receiving touchdowns are tied with Davante Adams and Rob Gronkowski for 12th all-time. He is the Buccaneers' all-time leader in every receiving category by a wide margin.
WR Chris Godwin - 68 receptions, 814 yards, one touchdown - Godwin has been one of the bigger disappointments in fantasy. However, he is still hovering with a great chance to record his third consecutive 1,000-yard season and fourth overall.
Tennessee Titans
RB Derrick Henry - 884 rushing yards, ten touchdowns, 27 receptions, 203 yards - Henry is 116 yards from his fifth 1,000-yard season. He is 790 yards from Eddie George's franchise record of 10,009 yards. And he is a pending free agent. His 88 career touchdowns are the 15th most in NFL history, two behind Eric Dickerson and Curtis Martin. With 27 receptions, he is six away from tying his career-high 33 set in 2022.
WR DeAndre Hopkins - 59 receptions, 919 yards, six touchdowns - Hopkins is hunting his seventh 1,000-yard season and first since 2020. His 912 career receptions are in 23rd all-time, eight behind Torry Holt. Another eight receptions would bring him into a tie with Antonio Brown for 21st. His 12,217 career receiving yards are 26th most, trailing Jimmy Smith by 70. His highest obtainable threshold for 2023 is Brandon Marshall, who is in 23rd place with 12,351, 134 yards away. His 77 career receiving touchdowns are tied with Joey Galloway at 35th, but he is ten away from climbing into 18th place.
Washington Commanders
QB Sam Howell - 3,568 passing yards, 19 touchdowns - The Commanders have six 4,000-yard seasons in franchise history, a mark Howell needs 432 to top. The last player to hit 4,000 was Kirk Cousins in 2017.
WR Terry McLaurin - 66 receptions, 835 receiving yards, three touchdowns - McLaurin needs 165 yards for his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard season and 25 to top 5,000 for his career.
