Bengals | Tee Higgins finishes with 59 yards Sun Dec 28, 05:20 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught four passes for 59 yards against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17. He was targeted five times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Higgins wasn't a big Week 17 hit, but he was still able to rally to stay on the field the last two weeks after suffering two concussions in three weeks leading into Week 16. He could be in a for a big bounceback season next year if he and Joe Burrow can stay healthy. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase catches two TD passes Sun Dec 28, 05:17 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught seven passes for 60 yards and two touchdowns against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17. He was targeted nine times during the game.
| Footballguys view: It was rough for a bit with Jake Browning, but Chase mostly performed like a player worthy of the #1 overall pick in fantasy drafts this season. He certainly came through in Week 17 and should fall no farther than the #2 pick in 2026 fantasy drafts. |

Saints | Tyler Shough throws for 333 yards, two TDs Sun Dec 28, 05:16 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough completed 22-of-27 passes for a career-high 333 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans, while running four times for six yards.
| Footballguys view: Shough was a big fantasy hit for anyone who trusted him even though he is a second round pick rookie who is playing with Chris Olave, Juwan Johnson and a bunch of receivers and running backs who weren't on NFL teams at the beginning of the season. The Saints have their quarterback and head coach in place and can start building for the future. |

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Kenneth Gainwell carried seven times for 26 yards in a Week 17 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He caught three of four targets for 12 yards.
| Footballguys view: Gainwell was a dud after emerging as a surprise RB1 in fantasy leagues because the Steelers offense was thwarted at almost every turn by a motivated Browns defense in front a spirited home crowd. He'll be a free agent next year, but the Steelers should value him more than any other team after seeing his contributions up close and personal this season. |

Steelers | Jaylen Warren runs for 64 yards Sun Dec 28, 04:57 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren carried 12 times 64 yards in a Week 17 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers offense was already behind the eight ball against a tough Browns defense without DK Metcalf, and they lost Darnell Washington during the game to a broken forearm, which made it even more difficult for the offense to put together successful drives. Warren broke free a few times for good runs, but the Steelers offense was a dud and will have to find a spark to win the division by beating the Ravens in Pittsburgh next week. |
Patriots | DeMario Douglas limited to one catch Sun Dec 28, 04:56 PM
New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas went for a single 10-yard reception on two targets in Week 17 against the New York Jets.

Bengals | Two touchdowns for Chase Brown Sun Dec 28, 04:55 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17. He also caught three passes for 40 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: We throw the term "league winner" around a lot, but Brown's last two weeks may well have been responsible for the margin of victory in your fantasy championship. Samaje Perine returned to the team in the offseason and played a larger role in the backfield than anyone anticipated, but if you targeted Brown in fantasy drafts because of the significant upside that comes with leading a backfield in a Joe Burrow offense. |

Bengals | Joe Burrow surpasses 300-yard mark Sun Dec 28, 04:49 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow went 24-for-31 for 305 yards and two touchdowns against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17. He also rushed for two yards on three carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: It certainly was not a successful season for Burrow or the Bengals, but the last two weeks showed us an offense that effortlessly moved the ball against NFL defenses, turning the scoreboard into a pinball machine. It was reported before the game that teams will call the Bengals about Burrow in the offseason after it appeared that he was disgruntled earlier this month. There's probably only a very small chance that he would get dealt in the offseason, but never say never. |

Patriots | Hunter Henry gets into end zone in Week 17 Sun Dec 28, 04:49 PM
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry went for three receptions, 49 yards and a touchdown on three targets in Week 17 against the New York Jets.
| Footballguys view: Henry wasn't a huge hit, but if you went to him to cover a George Kittle or Brock Bowers absence, you were satisfied with what you got. He'll be a player of some consequence in playoff fantasy football leagues. |

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs posted six receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Week 17 against the New York Jets.
| Footballguys view: Diggs has ended up being much more impactful than Chris Godwin even though he was seen as a fallback to Godwin when the Bucs veteran receiver chose to stay in Tampa over basically a blank check from the Patriots. Diggs was also ready to play earlier than Godwin, who had to have a second surgery on his injured ankle. Diggs had a short slump earlier in December, but finished with two huge games to reward fantasy players who received in him. |

Cardinals | Marvin Harrison held off stat sheet Sun Dec 28, 04:44 PM
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (calf) was targeted one time during the Week 17 game against the Cincinnati Bengals but did not record a reception before leaving the game because of a calf injury.
| Footballguys view: Harrison was supposed to become the signature receiver for Kyler Murray as the Cardinals entered a brave new world on offense. His second season has been injury riddled and even more disappointing than his rookie season, something that few contemplated this summer. Jacoby Brissett even revived the passing game, but Michael Wilson was the breakout wide receiver, not Harrison. Harrison should fall even further going into his third season a la Kyle Pitts, but like Pitts, it might not be far enough. Pitts also could end up being a lesson in patience for dynasty players, so maybe this is the right moment to try to buy Harrison in dynasty leagues. |

Browns | Jerry Jeudy snags five balls in Week 17 Sun Dec 28, 04:37 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy caught five of seven targets for 54 yards in a Week 17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Jeudy didn't put up big numbers with Shedeur Sanders at quarterback, but Sanders gives him a chance to have decent sustained quarterback play next season. He remains on the dynasty radar because of what Sanders showed this season. |

Cardinals | Ten receptions for Trey McBride Sun Dec 28, 04:36 PM
Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride caught 10 passes for 76 yards and one touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17. He was targeted 13 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: McBride broke Zach Ertz's single season record for receptions by a tight end - (116 in 2018) and he could hold it for as long as Ertz did or longer. McBride was at 119 at the end of this game and has one more contest against the Rams to cement his place in the record book. If McBride can catch eight passes next week, he'll have of the top 10 reception seasons of all time. |

New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson rushed eight times for 47 yards and a touchdown in Week 17 against the New York Jets, and he added five receptions for 55 yards and a touchdown on five targets.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson has been the Patriots running back who adds value at times as a receiver instead of rookie TreVeyon Henderson as the drafting of his potential replacement seemed to light a fire under the veteran. He wasn't consistently making a fantasy impact this season, but if you trusted him in a great Week 17 matchup, you were very happy with what you got today. |

Cleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson carried 11 times for 27 yards in a Week 17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He caught three passes for zero yards.

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson rushed 19 times for 82 yards in Week 17 against the New York Jets, while he was not targeted in the passing game.
| Footballguys view: Rhamondre Stevenson got the two running back scores as the passing game involvement we expected hasn't really materialized. He still has shown home run speed and should only get better in an offense that has moved into the penthouse of quality and fantasy value. Henderson rallied to play after suffering a concussion last Saturday and while he didn't produce fantasy fireworks, he showed he can log a heavy workload in the bread and butter running game. |

Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders completed 17 of 23 passes for 186 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in a Week 17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Sanders numbers aren't impressive in fantasy terms, but he lost Harold Fannin early on and didn't get much help from the running game. He looks like he belongs in the NFL with an approach as a passer that engages defenses with a quick processor and courage. He should be the team's starting quarterback Week 1, but Cleveland will have a top 8 pick and could decide to take a quarterback. |

Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson caught five passes for 89 yards and one touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17. He was targeted 10 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Wilson scored a long touchdown in the first half when the Bengals secondary turned into tackling dummies instead of wrapping him up. Otherwise, it was a futile afternoon for the Cardinals offense even though they were facing one of the worst defenses in the league. |

Arizona Cardinals RB Michael Carter rushed for 29 yards on seven carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17. He also caught two passes for 14 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Carter fizzled in a good matchup as the Cardinals failed to get a first down on five of their first seven drives. The Cardinals backfield was a disaster this season because of season-ending injuries to James Conner and Trey Benson before the leaves started changing colors. |
