  • MIA Quarterback #1
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    McDaniel reportedly affirmed his decision not to play Tagovailoa in Week 17, saying, “from a medical standpoint, it was not an option for him to play” through his hip injury. Wolfe adds, “surgery is not on the table right now” though the “right now” aspect is notable. Hopefully, the injury does not require surgery and Tagovailoa can suit up in Week 18.
  • MIN Quarterback #14
    Darnold’s interception came when he tried to fit a ball between two defenders on a flag route from T.J. Hockenson. Outside of that, it was an outstanding effort from Darnold in a game the Vikings essentially dominated from the start. That’s his sixth game with at least three passing scores, and he was spreading the ball around with eight different receivers catching passes. Darnold and the Vikings now have a massive contest against the Lions in Week 18 that will determine who gets homefield advantage in the NFC. Darnold is truly deserving of MVP consideration for his work in 2024 no matter what happens in that game.
  • NYJ Quarterback #8
    One more chance to get touchdown No. 500 in a Jets uniform, and one more chance for us all to point and laugh. Rodgers will be a superflex QB2 against the Dolphins in Week 18. It wouldn’t hurt things for Rodgers if the Dolphins found a way to get eliminated from playoff contention before they played that game.
  • NYG Wide Receiver #1
    Nabers’ outburst — which included touchdowns of 31 and 59 yards — soared him past 1K on the season and set a new career high for yardage by 44. His 127-yard outing came all the way back in Week 2. Nabers’ season hadn’t been the same since his Week 4 concussion and subsequent never-ending quarterback woes, but his production had been ramping back up before today’s eruption vs. a Colts pass defense that had been playing lights out. Nabers’ 31-yard TD came on a screen catch-and-run. The 59-yarder was another short pass where he showcased elite tackle evasion. Special stuff, and the kind of plays that made him a lottery pick. Also now proven to be a player who will go at less than 100 percent health, Nabers gets one final chance to juice his statistical profile vs. an Eagles defense that could be resting starters in Week 18.
  • JAX Wide Receiver #7
    Thomas also carried the ball once for 18 yards. He adds another highly productive game to his impressive rookie season resume, accentuated by a graceful 31-yard sideline catch in the second quarter and an 11-yard score in the third quarter. Thomas is now the fourth rookie wide receiver in NFL history to have at least 1,100 receiving yards and 10 receiving touchdowns in a season. He will remain the Jaguars’ No. 1 receiving option heading into Week 18 and will be a fantasy WR1 against the Colts.
  • JAX Quarterback #10
    The Jaguars offense was not pretty, but got the job done against the Titans. Jones had an intentional grounding in the first quarter, but got to humming later, finding Parker Washington in the back of the end zone for a two-yard score in the second quarter. He connected with rookie Brian Thomas Jr. often, finding him for an 11-yard score in the third quarter. The Jaguars did not need anything more against a stumbling Titans team. Jacksonville gets the win, but loses the battle for higher draft pick. Jones should not be in fantasy consideration for Week 18.
  • PHI Running Back #26
    Barkley fell victim to a Kenny Pickett tush push touchdown, but the Eagles’ RB1 churned out a strong performance against an overmatched Cowboys defense. Barkley’s longest run of the day came on a 23-yard in the third quarter on a drive that ended with an AJ Brown touchdown, but he will now enter Week 18 just 101 yards shy of the single-season rushing record. With the NFC East now secured, we’ll see just how willing the Eagles are to let Barkley pursue the record in next week’s game against the Giants.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #6
    Smith got the Eagles on the board midway through the second quarter when he found the end zone on a 22-yard pass from Kenny Pickett in the corner of the end zone. He nearly scored again on a 49-yard reception from Pickett in the second quarter but was ruled down at the one-yard line. In the fourth quarter, however, he took an in-route pass from Tanner McKee to the house on a 25-yard score for his second house call on the day. Smith has now scored in three of his last four games and has two 100-yard performances over the span. With the Eagles winning the NFC East, there’s a good chance we don’t see much of Smith in Week 18 against the Giants.
  • TEN Quarterback #11
    Rudolph got another start for the Titans, playing another conservative game en route to loss No. 13 for the season. He threw an interception in the second quarter, though it was tipped before getting picked off in the middle of the field. His sole touchdown pass was an eight-yard pass to a wide open Nick Vannett in the second half. Rudolph had a chance to tie the game on the Titans’ final drive, but missed several receivers, including Chig Okonkwo for an open sideline touchdown and Nick Westrbook-Ikhine for the last play off the game. The Titans get swept by the Jaguars for the season series and will likely have a higher draft pick. Rudolph should remain off fantasy radars for any Week 18 considerations.
  • NYJ Quarterback #8
    He took four sacks, including one for a safety, and was even called for an unnecessary roughness penalty before being pulled early in the fourth quarter while trailing 40-0. The Jets did Rodgers no favors with their backup tackles in, but he looked genuinely limited, especially when asked to move. An early fourth-down throw saw Rodgers wildly underthrow a wide-open Kenny Yeboah, hitting him in the leg. Rodgers set the NFL’s all-time sack record and remains one touchdown short of 500 for his career, something that might have him playing in a Week 18 tilt with the Dolphins despite nobody really needing to see more of this. He’d be a QB2 if he plays.
