Dynasty | Bucs rookie running back Bucky Irving had 89 rushing yards and a touchdown in the Bucs in a playoff-sealing win against the Saints. Dynasty Analysis: It's telling that Irving had all but two or the running back carries in a game of this importance for Tampa Bay. In other words, he's gone from a luxury to a necessity and has the looks of a future RB1 in dynasty leagues. Irving's value could go up even higher with a solid postseason. Regardless, few other rookies saw an increase in value like Irving did and he's a very solid hold in dynasty leagues moving forward.

Dynasty | Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans had nine catches for 89 yards in a season-ending win over New Orleans. Dynasty Analysis: Evans finishes just north of 1,000 yards on the season and keeps his streak of 11 straight 1,000 yard seasons alive in the process. This was one of the tougher seasons for him to hit it as he missed a few games in the middle of the year, and the Bucs had to run a final play to get him over the top (and activate a nice little $3 million bonus in the process). Evans has been as steady as they come and will probably be undervalued in dynasty leagues yet again next year.

Dynasty | Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix completed 26-of-29 passes for 321 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in a blowout win against Kansas City. Dynasty Analysis: Nix was surgical against a Kansas City team that played most of their backups and sat anyone critical since they had already secured the top seed in the AFC playoffs. Nix finishes the year just south of 4,000 passing yards with 29 touchdowns and just 12 interceptions. For a rookie who had a lot to prove, this has to be considered a complete and total success. Nix led the Broncos into the playoffs and is clearly the long-term answer at the position. He may be a little undervalued going into next season considering Sean Payton could realistically use him similarly to the way he used Drew Brees in the past, making him a weekly "set it and forget it" option in dynasty leagues.

Dynasty | Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims had five catches for 51 yards and two touchdowns in a win against Kansas City. Dynasty Analysis: Mims has really come on with five touchdowns and two different 100-yard games over the last five games of the season. It's a small sample size, but Mims has really come on strong of late. While we need to see more consistency, it's hard not seeing his dynasty value rising this off-season.

Los Angeles Rams running back Ronnie Rivers took over as the team's top option in the backfield after Blake Corum (forearm) left with an injury on Sunday against the Seahawks. He led the team with 48 rushing yards on 12 carries and added four catches on five targets for 34 receiving yards. The third-year running back from Fresno State could be the primary backup to RB Kyren Williams in the playoffs since Corum was diagnosed with a fractured forearm and will miss the playoffs. Williams is definitely a high-usage back, leaving Rivers almost no fantasy floor, but he could have an increased role after Corum's injury in Week 18.

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz ended up with five receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz regained his status as a TE1 in most fantasy leagues this season, and he finished the season strong. Ertz had 11 receptions for 116 yards and three touchdowns in the final two games, and he has six scores in the final seven outings. Ertz is a top-notch fantasy option in postseason leagues and DFS play. The Commanders travel to meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round.

Washington Commanders WR Jamison Crowder didn't have any offensive touches in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys, but he had three punt returns for 23 yards with one fumble lost.

New England Patriots quarterback Joe Milton III completed 22 of his 29 pass attempts for 241 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 18 win over the Buffalo Bills. He also rushed 10 times for 16 yards and an additional touchdown on the ground. Milton didn't take a sack or throw an interception in the victory, but he did lose a fumble on a botched hand-off with Antonio Gibson. The Patriots needed a loss to secure the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, and in order to get some extra film on Milton, they benched Drake Maye after the opening drive. Milton performed better than anyone could have imagined, completing each of his first 11 pass attempts. He totaled two touchdowns and showed phenomenal mobility. The win dropped New England from No. 1 to No. 4 in the draft order, but that's arguably a fair price to pay in exchange for the assurance that New England has two talented, young playmakers in its quarterback room entering 2025. Maye will remain the starter while Milton is likely headed for the backup role.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo made his Rams debut on Sunday against the Seahawks. Despite playing mostly with second-string skill players, he racked up 334 passing yards to go with two touchdowns and one interception along with five rushing yards. Without much of a ground game, Jimmy G attempted 41 passes and finished with 27 completions (65.8% completion percentage). Next week, he's expected to return to his role as backup QB to Matthew Stafford as the Rams host a game in the wild-card round against either the Lions or Vikings. Whenever the Rams season concludes, the veteran will be a free agent, but his strong showing in Week 18 should help him find work as a backup, either with the Rams or another team next season.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught six of 10 targets for 72 yards and no touchdowns in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win against the Jaguars. The 27-year-old recorded five or more receptions in six of his last seven games of the season, but it was a year mostly filled with inconsistency at the quarterback position. The reception (69), yardage (808), and touchdown totals (3) were all the lowest outputs since his rookie season in 2020. After setting career highs in receptions and yardage in 2023, this season surely did not meet expectations, especially for fantasy managers who drafted him. With Anthony Richardson under center in 2025, Pittman's outlook doesn't look much better unless the QB can fix his accuracy issues after posting a miserable 47.7% completion rate in 2024. If the Colts get him on track, then Pittman could end up being a value in next year's fantasy drafts assuming his price will be fairly depressed.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (forearm) was diagnosed with a fractured forearm, according to head coach Sean McVay. The rookie suffered the injury during Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He won't be available for the postseason, meaning Ronnie Rivers and Cody Schrader will presumably operate behind Kyren Williams. Without question, Corum wasn't as advertised during his first season in the league, amassing 207 yards off 58 attempts, adding seven catches for 68 yards. Even worse, he didn't find the end zone. Unless something changes, Corum's fantasy value will be much lower entering the 2025-26 campaign. But he'll likely see attention from Williams' fantasy managers for insurances purposes.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota completed 15-of-18 passes for 161 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys in relief of starter QB Jayden Daniels. Mariota also rushed five times for 56 yards and a score.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler rushed three times for 12 yards in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys in his first game since late November. He also added two receptions for 20 yards on two targets.

Fantasy Spin: Ekeler wouldn't normally be someone to focus upon for fantasy purposes if this were the regular season, but he is a decent late-round pick for depth in fantasy postseason leagues. The Commanders travel to meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round next weekend.

From TheHuddle

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had 22 yards off seven attempts in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He added one catch for negative yardage. Singletary, who signed a three-year deal with the G-Men in March 2024, had a good start to the season, finding the end zone twice in New York's first three games. However, he eventually lost the starting job to rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. and has remained the backup ever since. With Tracy likely to remain the No. 1 option on the depth chart entering the 2025-26 campaign, Singletary will presumably continue to operate behind him. As a result, his fantasy value doesn't look promising heading into next season, although he'll likely draw interest for those looking for an insurance policy.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 10 times for 28 yards and a touchdown in the team's 23-16 loss against the New England Patriots. The yardage was enough to push Cook over the 1,000-yard mark. His one-yard touchdown plunge tied the franchise's single-season record for rushing touchdowns (16) and placed him in a tie atop the NFL with Derrick Henry. Surprisingly, that score came in the third quarter in a game where starters played sparingly. Rookie Ray Davis led the team in carries (15). Cook and the Bills will host the Denver Broncos in the first round of the playoffs.

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis picked up 15 carries for 64 yards in the team's 23-16 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 18. The rookie also caught a two-yard touchdown pass, his third receiving score of his debut campaign. Davis saw increased opportunities with Buffalo having clinched the second seed in the AFC playoffs before the game. Head coach Sean McDermott utilized reserves to keep his starters healthy for the postseason. He'll return to spot duty behind James Cook in the first round of the playoffs.

From RotoBaller

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught seven passes for 52 yards in the team's 23-16 loss to the New England Patriots in the final game of the regular season. His seven receptions were a season-best mark. The 28-year-old has mostly been an afterthought in the Buffalo offense this season, so it makes sense that one of his best games came when the Bills rested some starters. Amari Cooper (family matter) was inactive. Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid were active but did not play a snap. Mitchell Trubisky quarterbacked the majority of the game. Samuel will return to a minimal role in the first round of the playoffs.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Joe Flacco wasted no time in getting the team on the board on Sunday, completing his first three passes of the game with the third being a 40-yard touchdown pass to Alec Pierce. The 39-year-old would go on to complete 23-of-40 passes for 264 yards, with just the one touchdown pass and no interceptions in the 26-23 overtime win over the Jaguars. Jonathan Taylor again did most of the heavy lifting, logging a whopping 34 carries for 177 yards and a TD. The veteran certainly made the Colt receivers relevant for the last few games, including Josh Downs -- who had been somewhat quiet the last four weeks -- busting out for 10 receptions and 94 yards on Sunday. Flacco has said he wants to play in 2025, and despite some turnover issues he can still sling it, so he'll likely be somewhat fantasy-relevant at some point next season once he's thrust into action.

From RotoBaller

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman caught two of 10 targets for 31 yards in the team's 23-16 loss to the New England Patriots. He also rushed once for nine yards. Amari Cooper (family matter), Khalil Shakir, and Dalton Kincaid did not play, leaving several opportunities for the rookie. Four of his 10 targets came on consecutive plays on Buffalo's final drive. His targets came from backup quarterbacks Mitchell Trubisky and Mike White. Josh Allen played one snap only to extend his consecutive starts streak. Coleman will be an integral part of the Buffalo offense when the team hosts the Denver Broncos in the Wild Card round.

From RotoBaller

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson caught a game-high 10 passes for 43 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Although the wideout didn't find the end zone, he still had a quality end to the 2024-25 campaign. He'll finish the season by posting career-highs in receptions (93), yards (699), and touchdowns (three). While Robinson has a way to go before becoming a trustworthy fantasy option, his value could increase heading into next season if the Giants secure a quality quarterback moving ahead.
