Stefon Diggs48%821.6%76260.6711.10
John Brown47%410.8%68230.5915.20
  • Cole Beasley (knee) was inactive. McKenzie played 91% of snaps in the first half, more than Diggs (89%), Knox (89%) and Brown (86%).
  • Davis played only 26% of snaps in the first half, working behind McKenzie. The rookie then played every snap in the second half, drawing four of his five targets after the break.
  • Diggs and Brown handled three-down roles in the first half, before sitting out the second half. Brown showed no sign of limitation in his first game back from an ankle injury, getting 86% of snaps in the first half while catching four of four targets for 72 yards and a touchdown.
  • Knox played 88% of snaps through three quarters, but only 20% in the fourth quarter.
  • Knox played at least 55% of snaps in six straight games to close out the season, drawing four or more targets in each of his past five contests. He's a solid DFS choice for the playoffs, especially for any lineup that uses Josh Allen at QB.

Ravens (38) at Bengals (3)

Dez Bryant31%00.0%040.170.00
  • Willie Snead (ankle) didn't play. Duvernay picked up a bunch of the missing snaps but was targeted just once.
  • Baltimore closed out the regular season with five straight wins after Lamar Jackson returned from the COVID-19 list. In that stretch, Brown accounted for 31.7% target share and Andrews for 26.9%, while no other Raven got more than 9.6%.
  • Boykin's 10 targets over the past five games were third-most on the team. Last year's playoff matchup with Tennessee was Boykin's only NFL game with more than five targets (he caught three of seven for 26 yards).

James Washington46%24.7%37150.330.00
  • Eric Ebron (reserve/COVID-19) was inactive for Week 17 due to being a close contact of CB Joe Haden, who tested positive for the coronavirus. Ebron should be back for the wild-card round unless he also tests positive at some point this week. Haden, on the other hand, isn't likely to be eligible.
  • Joshua Dobbs got some playing time, but Mason Rudolph accounted for 40 of the 45 dropbacks and played 86% of snaps.

  • Harrison Bryant (reserve/COVID-19) was inactive, which led to Njoku getting season highs for snap share and targets. It isn't clear if the rookie tight end will be back for the rematch with Pittsburgh on wild-card weekend.

Tyler Johnson27%25.3%34140.332.10
Mike Evans16%410.5%4880.196.10
  • Evans injured his knee while trying to make a catch in the end zone in the first quarter. He got off to a fast start with 3/46/0 in the first quarter, and it likely would've been 4/57/1 if the knee injury hadn't distracted him from bringing in a TD.
  • If Evans misses the playoff game against Washington, it'll be his first absence of the season. He's dealt with a few injuries but managed to play all 16 games.
  • Brown got nine targets and seven catches in the fourth quarter, including three receptions for 10 yards on the final drive when Tampa could've just run out the clock.
  • Over the final four weeks of the season, Brown caught 25 of 32 targets (78%) for 315 yards (9.8 YPT) and four touchdowns. He may not be back at peak form, but he's still pretty darn good.

Taysom Hill33%13.5%480.2311.10
Jared Cook31%517.2%50180.5112.30
  • Cook played 43% of snaps before halftime, running a route on 10 of 18 dropbacks. He was losing a ton of work to Trautman for a stretch this season, but the veteran tight end came on strong over the final five weeks, averaging 3.0 catches for 43.8 yards and 0.6 TDs on 4.6 targets... very similar to his 2019 production on a per-game basis.
  • Cook ran a route on 63% of QB dropbacks over the final four weeks of the season, with 14.2% target share in that stretch. Sanders led the team with 22.1% target share and 77.8% route share over the final four weeks.
  • Callaway returned from IR for the final two weeks and got four targets in back-to-back games, playing 56% and 73% of snaps. He should be the No. 2 guy behind Sanders if Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) aren't ready for the wild-card round.
  • However, the Saints do expect Thomas to return...

Marquez Valdes-Scantling48%312.5% 120.4616.10
  • Valdes-Scantling scored a 72-yard TD, but his snap share was a season low. He's played less than 70% of snaps in three straight games, seeing just four targets and one carry during that stretch. Lazard got 12 targets over the final three games but didn't do much with them.
  • Adams finishes 2020 as the NFL leader in receiving touchdowns (18) and receiving yards per game (98.1). His 77.2% catch rate was second best among players with triple-digit targets, slightly behind Alvin Kamara (77.6%) and ahead of Cole Beasley (76.6%) and Stefon Diggs (76.5%).

Anthony Miller52%24.9%10250.562.30
Jimmy Graham40%24.9%1150.331.50
  • The rookies, Kmet and Mooney, both finished with season highs for targets, while Robinson, Miller and Graham combined for only nine.
  • Mooney injured his ankle in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Wims thereafter. Prior to the fourth quarter, Mooney played 76% of offensive snaps and handled 42.9% target share.
  • Robinson got three of his five targets in the fourth quarter. Kmet saw just two of his eight in the final frame.
  • Graham didn't get much work even after Chicago abandoned the run. He got just 24% of snaps and three routes in the fourth quarter, while Kmet saw 95% and 11 routes.
  • Wims played 86% of snaps in the fourth quarter, which accounted for both his targets.
  • Wims could have a starting job if Mooney isn't ready for the playoffs. However, Wims was targeted on just 12 of 138 routes (8.7%) in the regular season, so Mooney's usual targets likely would be spread out among multiple players.

  • Smith finishes the regular season as the team leader in red-zone targets (18), inside-the-10 targets (nine) and inside-the-five targets (seven). Brown was second in each category, with 13, eight and two respectively. Davis didn't see as much work in close, getting eight, three, and two targets in that range.
  • Firkser put up 8-113-1 the last time Houston and Tennessee played, taking advantage of Smith suffering an injury. This time, Firkser was quiet, finishing with two or fewer targets for a fourth straight week. It was also his fourth consecutive game playing one-quarter of snaps or less.
  • Smith ran a route on 70 percent of QB dropbacks over the final four weeks of the season. He averaged just four targets per game, but the route share was a nice step forward relative to his 49 percent mark through the first 12 games of the season.
  • Smith blocked on just 10% of pass snaps the past four weeks, down from 16% in Weeks 1-13, per PFF. In other words, not a big difference... the bigger change has been Firkser stealing less work on passing downs. (Smith played 51% of third-down snaps Weeks 1-13, before going up to 73% the past four weeks.)

Mo Alie-Cox42%00.0%040.150.00
Trey Burton30%00.0%090.330.00
  • The TE timeshare leaned toward Doyle again. He's played 55% or more of snaps in five straight games, averaging 2.6 catches for 27.4 yards on 3.0 targets.
  • Over those final five games, Burton averaged 1.0 catch for 7.4 yards on 1.8 targets, and Alie-Cox averaged 1.4 for 13.2 yards on 1.8 targets. So Doyle has been getting the most work, though Burton and Alie-Cox both had their moments of semi-relevance for fantasy this year.
  • Hilton played just two of 16 snaps in 12 personnel, while Pascal got 15 and Pittman took 14. The rookie hasn't been getting many targets, but his workload has been steady in terms of routes/snaps/formations, while Hilton and Pascal have seen inconsistent involvement for heavier personnel groupings.

David Moore40%13.1%-4120.321.00
Freddie Swain22%13.1%5470.180.00
  • This was Lockett's first game with more than nine targets or 67 yards since Week 7 when he dropped 15/200/3 on Arizona.
  • Lockett finished with 12/90/2, pushing his season line to 100/1,054/10. His 132 targets led Seattle, ever so slightly ahead of Metcalf (129).
  • Metcalf finishes at 83/1,303/10. An impressive breakout season, no doubt, but disappointing relative to his pace for most of the year. He finished with five straight games below 100 yards, drawing no more than nine targets in any of those contests.
  • Greg Olsen (foot) was inactive, after returning for Week 16. The Seahawks went back to their Hollister/Dissly split at tight end.
  • Moore and Swain continue to share the No. 3 WR role. Moore has the better part of it, but neither is likely to see more than two or three targets any give nweek.

  • McLaurin (ankle) returned from a one-week absence and scored a five-yard TD on the opening drive. He missed a few snaps, but only one of those was a pass play.
  • Over the final five weeks of the season, Cam Sims averaged 3.8 catches for 46.4 yards on 6.6 targets. That includes a 5/92/0 game against Pittsburgh in Week 13 with McLaurin also playing.
  • The six targets for Thomas were his fewest since Week 12. However, he scored double-digit PPR points for a sixth consecutive week, scoring his sixth TD of the year.
  • Thomas finished the regular season third among tight ends with 109 targets, but he was just seventh in yards (670) and seventh in fantasy points.
