[LAC - Back injury for WR Mike Williams]( Source: NFL.com Los Angeles Chargers WR [Mike Williams](=) (back) suffered a back injury during the Week 18 game and is considered questionable to return. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Chargers had no need to play their starters against the Broncos since they were locked into the no.5 spot in the AFC bracket of the playoffs. They risked it and played their starters for most of the game against Denver with Williams getting banged up. We'll see what he can do during the week of practice as the team prepares for a Wild Card game against the Jaguars next weekend. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [NO - Chris Olave reaches end zone](=) Source: NFL.com New Orleans Saints WR [Chris Olave](=) caught five passes for 60 yards and one touchdown against the Carolina Panthers in Week 18. He was targeted 12 times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Olave, a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, goes over 1,000 yards receiving as a rookie. Many things are going to change with the Saints this offseason, but Olave remains a constant for them - and for Fantasy GMs. He's at least a WR2 with upside, and with the right scheme/quarterback fit Olave could post even better numbers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [HOU - QB Davis Mills tosses three TDs](=) Source: ESPN.com Houston Texans QB [Davis Mills](=) completed 22 of his 38 passes for 298 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in a 32-31 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] A third-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft, Mills has gotten plenty of experience as the Texans' starter. His play shows that he's not the quarterback of the future. However, Mills can be a solid backup with experience. Expect the Texans to select a quarterback with a premium pick in the 2023 NFL draft. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [NE - Three TDs, INTs for QB Mac Jones]() Source: NFL.com New England Patriots QB [Mac Jones](=) went 26-for-40 for 243 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions against the Buffalo Bills in Week 18. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jones had a disappointing 2022 season. He missed a few games due to injury, and backup QB Bailey Zappe looked better as the starter. Jones, a first-round pick in 2021, is likely to face some competition for the starting job in training camp. Zappe or a free-agent addition like QB Jimmy Garoppolo could be in the plans for the 2023 Patriots. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [NE - Tyquan Thornton quiet in Week 18]() Source: NFL.com New England Patriots WR [Tyquan Thornton](=) caught one pass for 13 yards against the Buffalo Bills in Week 18. He was targeted two times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] A second-round pick, and a surprising one at that, Thornton did flash just a bit as a rookie. He's certainly got speed to get by defenders, and now we'll see if he can continue to develop his skill as a route runner. Fantasy GMs in dynasty formats should continue monitoring Thornton's development. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [NO - QB Andy Dalton has decent outing](=) Source: NFL.com New Orleans Saints QB [Andy Dalton](=) went 15-for-25 for 171 yards and one touchdown against the Carolina Panthers in Week 18. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] That sounds about right. Dalton did not fill the air with footballs as the Saints' starter for most of this season. He only had one game over 300 yards passing, and that was back in Week 7. Dalton will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and some teams should have him in mind as a veteran backup. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [PIT - Kenny Pickett tosses Week 18 TD](=) Source: ESPN Pittsburgh Steelers QB [Kenny Pickett](=) completed just 13-of-29 passes for 195 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns, and he rushed for one yard on his three carries. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Steelers aren't going to the playoffs, but they did seem to find their quarterback of the future in Pickett. A first-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, Pickett was the only quarterback selected on Day 1. His upside may be limited from a physical standpoint, but he's a gamer with plenty of moxie and the ability to lead a team from an emotional standpoint. Expect the Steelers to continue building around Pickett this offseason. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [BAL - Isaiah Likely tops Week 18 charts](=) Source: ESPN Baltimore Ravens TE [Isaiah Likely](=) registered eight receptions for a game-high 103 yards on 13 targets in Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals. It was also Likely's first 100-yard game in the NFL. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] When TE Mark Andrews was declared out for Week 18, Fantasy GMs knew they could rely on Likely. The rookie tight end flashed this year multiple times as a weapon the Ravens can turn to. We'll see if the plan is to use Likely more in the Wild Card matchup against the Bengals next weekend. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [PIT - Jaylen Warren totals nine touches](=) Source: ESPN Pittsburgh Steelers RB [Jaylen Warren](=) rushed six times for 36 yards in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns while adding three receptions for seven yards on his four targets. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Undrafted out of Oklahoma State in 2022, Warren has developed into quite the reserve rusher for the Steelers. He'll enter 2023 as the primary backup to RB Najee Harris once again. Warren can rip off big plays as a runner or receiver out of the backfield, and he's a valuable asset for the Steelers offense as they'll likely continue to lean on the rushing attack in 2023. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [CIN - QB Joe Burrow tosses TD in Week 18](=) Source: ESPN Cincinnati Bengals QB [Joe Burrow](=) completed 25-of-42 passes for 215 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 18 against the Baltimore Ravens, while rushing for 10 yards on three attempts with one lost fumble. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Burrow and the Bengals will play against the Ravens again next weekend in the Wild Card Round. We could see more robust numbers for Burrow and the passing game as they prepare for what could be a deep postseason run. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [NO - TE Taysom Hill posts 25 total yards](=) Source: NFL.com New Orleans Saints TE [Taysom Hill](=) rushed for 24 yards on five carries against the Carolina Panthers in Week 18. He also caught one pass for one yard during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Hill was banged up during the week, but he was able to get out there in the season finale for the Saints. Who knows what the future holds for the Saints, they may be getting a new head coach and/or quarterback for the 2023 season. Hill has a $13.9 million cap hit in 2023 with $23.7 million remaining in dead money. We'll see what changes happen around him, but Hill is staying with the Saints - likely in his gadget TE/QB role - for the upcoming season. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [CLE - QB Deshaun Watson tosses pair of TDs](=) Source: ESPN Cleveland Browns QB [Deshaun Watson](=) completed 19-of-29 passes for 230 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Week 18 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he rushed six times for 44 yards. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Watson should be better next season because he was simply dreadful this year for the Browns. We'll see what kind of plan Browns' HC Kevin Stefanski makes for the future of Watson in his offense. In six games this season, Watson completed less than 60 percent of his passes and looked like a shadow of his former self. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [NYJ - Garrett Wilson plays well in Week 18]() Source: NFL.com New York Jets WR [Garrett Wilson](=) caught nine passes for 89 yards against the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. He was targeted 17 times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Some new quarterback is going to get a treat when throwing to Wilson next season. Wilson made plays regardless of who was throwing him the ball. The Jets need to upgrade from the likes of Zach Wilson, Joe Flacco, or Mike White. A lot of fans are connecting Derek Carr to the Jets, but we'll have to see what decision the franchise makes regarding the position. Garrett Wilson has superstar upside in this league if he gets the right passer in place.

[CAR - D'Onta Foreman finishes with 68 yards](=) Source: ESPN.com Carolina Panthers RB D'Onta Foreman rushed for 68 yards on 12 carries against the New Orleans Saints in Week 18 before he was ejected for throwing a punch. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Foreman has proven that he can handle a large workload over the last couple of seasons, one in Tennesee and one in Carolina. The Panthers are going to find a new head coach, so we'll see if Foreman is the type of guy they want to keep around. He's set to be a free agent in 2023, and Foreman should have a few teams interested in his services. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [CHI - TE Cole Kmet leads the way in Week 18](=) Source: ESPN Chicago Bears TE [Cole Kmet](=) ended up with four receptions for 57 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Week 18 against the Minnesota Vikings. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Kmet started off the season slowly, but he came through for Fantasy GMs as the season went on. He should continue to be a touchdown-dependent starter as a low-end TE1 in 2023. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [CLE - TE David Njoku gets into the end zone](=) Source: ESPN Cleveland Browns TE [David Njoku](=) posted four receptions for 42 yards and a touchdown on his five targets in Week 18 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Njoku seemed to build better chemistry with QB Deshaun Watson with the more time they got playing together after Watson's suspension. So long as he stays healthy, Njoku can enjoy success in the Browns' offense. His talent and his role make him a TE1 option for Fantasy GMs in 2023. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [LAR - RB Cam Akers hits triple digits again](=) Source: ESPN Los Angeles Rams RB [Cam Akers](=) rushed 21 times for 104 yards in Week 18 against the Seattle Seahawks, his third consecutive 100-yard performance. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Akers has done a phenomenal job of turning things around this season. There were rumblings about him getting traded when he was away from the team, but nothing came to fruition. Instead, Akers was welcomed back with open arms and literally ran with his opportunity. He'll enter next season, the final year of his contract, as the lead back for the Rams. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [CLE - Two grabs for WR Donovan Peoples-Jones](=) Source: ESPN Cleveland Browns WR [Donovan Peoples-Jones](=) posted two receptions for 42 yards on four targets in Week 18 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Peoples-Jones had a really good stretch in the middle of the season, highlighted by an 8-catch, 114-yard performance in Week 14. Since then, Peoples-Jones has only collected a couple of catches per game. He'll enter the final year of his rookie contract coming off career highs in catches and yards. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 19. [NE - RB Damien Harris finishes with 48 yards]() Source: NFL.com New England Patriots RB [Damien Harris](=) rushed for 48 yards on 13 carries against the Buffalo Bills in Week 18. He also caught one pass for four yards during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] What a difference a year makes. In 2021, Harris rushed for 15 touchdowns and had five games of over 100 yards rushing. In 2022, Harris was banged up with various injuries and missed four games. He only had three touchdowns rushing this season, and Harris did not have a single game over the century mark. A free agent in 2023, some team should be interested in Harris as a committee back. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 20. [NO - RB Alvin Kamara surpasses 100-yard mark](=) Source: NFL.com New Orleans Saints RB [Alvin Kamara](=) rushed for 107 yards on 23 carries against the Carolina Panthers in Week 18. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It was just the second 100-yard game on the ground for Kamara this season. He wasn't used as much as he could have been, either as a rusher or receiver out of the backfield. We'll see if the Saints make a coaching change, and then we'll see if Kamara is suspended for an incident at last year's Pro Bowl. A preliminary hearing on battery charges is set for March 1st. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 21. [CAR - WR Terrace Marshall leads with 23 yards](=) Source: ESPN.com Carolina Panthers WR [Terrace Marshall](=) Jr. caught two passes for 23 yards against the New Orleans Saints in Week 18. He was targeted three times during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Marshall has flashed a bit this season, but it's difficult to post good numbers with the quarterback carousel the Panthers have had. We still appreciate Marshall in dynasty formats. A second-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft, Marshall may be in line for a breakout in his third season in 2023. Let's see who the Panthers add at quarterback before we get too excited, but know the natural talent is there with Marshall. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 22. [PIT - RB Najee Harris rumbles for 84 yards, TD](=) Source: ESPN Pittsburgh Steelers WR [Najee Harris](=) posted 23 rushes for 84 yards and a touchdown in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns, while adding a 10-yard reception on his lone catch and target. It wasn't all great, as he lost a fumble. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Harris goes over 1,000 yards for the second time in two pro seasons. He's not getting the work as a receiver that he used to, dropping from 74 catches (2021) to just 41 catches (2022). Harris will remain an RB2 for Fantasy GMs, and he'll continue to work in the Steelers' backfield with RB Jaylen Warren. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 23. [PIT - WR Diontae Johnson can't convert targets](=) Source: ESPN Pittsburgh Steelers WR [Diontae Johnson](=) was targeted a game-high 10 times in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns, but he managed just two receptions for 38 yards. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Johnson was targeted a whopping 147 times yet he didn't score a touchdown in 2022. We'll see what kind of chemistry he can build with QB Kenny Pickett going forward. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 24. [CLE - Pro Bowler RB Nick Chubb sets career high]( Source: News5Cleveland.com - Claire Geary Cleveland Browns RB [Nick Chubb](=) rushed 12 times for 77 yards in Week 18 against the Pittsburgh Steelers while posting five grabs for 45 yards and a touchdown on his six targets. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] He's simply one of the best - if not THE best - running backs in the game. Chubb, one of three Pro Bowlers for the Browns, reached 1,500 rushing yards in this game, setting a new career best. He will be the centerpiece of what the Browns do on offense once again next season. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 25. [MIN - WR Justin Jefferson limited to four grabs](=) Source: ESPN Minnesota Vikings WR [Justin Jefferson](=) ended up with four receptions for 38 yards on five targets in Week 18 against the Chicago Bears before resting for some of the second half. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jefferson was on track for the NFL's first 2,000-yard season as a receiver, but he fell short in the end with five catches on 10 targets over the final two games of the regular season. The Vikings have designs on making a deep postseason run, so force-feeding the ball to Jefferson was not part of their plan.
