The guard/center is a former undrafted free agent from Clemson.

Strong took a big hit while he already being dragged to the ground by Calais Campbell. He was eventually helped off-field by the Browns’ training staff before being escorted to the locker room.

Andrew Wylie and Marshon Lattimore are the two big names on this list, both now consistent producers on either side of the ball. The Commanders currently occupy the No. 7 seed out of the NFC but have a better conference record than the Packers, meaning they could leapfrog Green Bay in the NFC standings this week should the Packers lose.

The Falcons continue to be a picture of good health as none of their starting 22 are sidelined entering Week 17. They now control their own playoff destiny but need a win against the Commanders after the Buccaneers won earlier today.

Robinson’s missed connection was an awful fourth quarter drop he quickly atoned for with 18- and 35-yard receptions to set the Giants up for a touchdown. Robinson was a distant second fiddle to an erupting Malik Nabers, but the 71 yards matched his season high from Week 4 as Drew Lock played the best game by any Giants QB all year. The mighty Eagles await for Week 18, but they could be resting many key starters.

He was actually out-targeted (3-2) and outsnapped (34-31) by Dawson Knox. It was a blowout, of course, which complicated things as the Bills were never really threatened on defense en route to a 40-0 lead. Kincaid simply hasn’t been a reliable enough source of yards this year to be a sure-fire TE1, and he’ll remain that way in Week 18 and as we go forward to playoff best ball.

With Joe Flacco back under center, Pittman revived for his second most yards of the season, and first 100-yard effort since Week 4. He was taking advantage of an awful Giants pass defense, but that was something Josh Downs failed to accomplish. Alec Pierce also had a 100-yard afternoon. At the end of a disappointing, injury-plagued campaign, Pittman does have a chance to close strong against the hapless Jaguars in Week 18.

Hicks is currently being screened for a concussion. He is the second Browns defender to get injured in this one; CB Denzel Ward (shoulder) was ruled out at the beginning of the second half.

Ford had a very difficult time getting off-field and up to the locker room after exiting in the first half. His ankle issue apparently responded positively to half-time treatment and his locker room examination evidently showed nothing overly concerning.

The Rams game remains the outlier, as Shakir’s other four December games have lines of: 4/30/0, 6/39/1, and 2/22/0. Buffalo simply hasn’t been forced to pass all that often lately, and so while Shakir is the easy leading target, he’s prone to games like this when things get out of hand. And against the Jets, they very much got out of hand. Shakir could possibly be rested in Week 18 against the Patriots. With Mitchell Trubisky likely involved how little the Bills have to play for, you can probably do better in leagues that aren’t over yet.

Even with pure pocket passer Joe Flacco back under center against an awful Giants pass defense, Downs couldn’t re-discover his mid-season magic. Flacco locked on to deep threat Alec Pierce and short-area magnet Michael Pittman. Downs was stuck drawing as many targets as Adonai Mitchell and Jonathan Taylor. Downs’ lost momentum has had far more to do with the Colts’ chaotic offensive environment than his own play, but he is still set to head into Year 3 without having “put it all together.” Maybe he can at least do so for a Sunday against the sorry Jaguars in Week 18.
