The 6-foot-4, 325-pound DT played in 12 games last season, making only one start for the Wolverines. Mone recorded nine tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and recovered a fumble. With Mone possibly gone for the year, the Wolverines are losing a big part of their rotation up front. Michigan will have to rely on Ryan Glasgow and Maurice Hurst in Mone’s absence.

Andrews closes 2024 as the overall TE6 in PPR scoring (188.8 points), catching 55-of-69 targets for 673 yards and 11 touchdowns while rushing four times for five yards. The Ravens’ veteran tight end scored just 22.0 PPR points in Week 1-5, dogged by rumors of an off-field injury. He bucked the trend thereafter though, producing four TE1 finishes in Weeks 6-10, including two finishes in the top three. Andrews can still be drafted as a mid-tier TE1 next season but fantasy managers should note that Andrews’ per-route efficiency has steadily ticked downward in each of the last three seasons, ultimately dropping from 2.18 yards per route run in 2021 to 1.88 this season. His 2024 average is still among the position’s best but his decline must be acknowledged nonetheless. The Ravens’ No. 2 tight end Isaiah Likely also has a chance to assert himself as the team’s preferred option.

Jackson finished as the overall QB1 in fantasy scoring (434.4 points) by completing 316-of-474 passes for 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns and two interceptions. His 8.8 yards per passing attempt leads all NFL quarterbacks with at least 100 dropbacks. Jackson unsurprisingly thrived on the ground as well, rushing 139 times for a position-high 915 yards and four touchdowns. He likewise leads NFL quarterbacks in both missed tackles forced (45) and explosive run plays (37). Jackson’s 2025 outlook could be mildly impacted if offensive coordinator Todd Monken accepts a head coaching role elsewhere but the 28-year-old quarterback will not fall out of the elite QB1 tier. He remains a game-breaking player in both the NFL and fantasy football.

Coleman did little in the box score but had a big impact on the game just before halftime, miraculously avoiding an offensive pass interference call while pushing Ravens cornerback Tre’Davious White down to the ground near the Ravens’ own 12-yard line. White mildly reacted to Coleman mid-fall and somehow earned himself a defensive pass interference call. Josh Allen ran the ball in for a four-yard touchdown three plays later. Coleman is a boom/bust DFS flex option against the Chiefs.

Davis fortuitously cleared the NFL’s protocol in time for this one. He was needed to punch in the Bills’ first touchdown via a two-yard run on his team’s first possession. The bruising youngster averaged a team-high 7.3 yards per carry and returned one kickoff for 25 yards. He remains a touchdown-dependent DFS flex option against the Chiefs next week.

Johnson remains entrenched as a change-of-pace player, taking snaps all game long. He picked up an eight-yard gain on the fourth play from scrimmage and later sealed the game via a 17-yard run with one minute and 32 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. The fact that Bills coaches entrusted Johnson with the latter opportunity speaks volumes about his current role on the team. Expect Johnson to make the most of his limited workload against the Chiefs in the AFC Championship.

Cook looked spry against the Ravens but at 3.9 yards per carry, he was far and away the least efficient Bills rusher. It appeared as though Cook was in for a bigger day, touching the ball five times on the Bills’ opening drive, including three inside the Ravens’ red zone before being successfully spelled by Ray Davis, who scored from two yards out. Cook should have another high-volume day against the Chiefs in the AFC Championship next Sunday though.

Samuel has been a positively volatile performer as of late, and while his two receptions on Sunday technically rank third on his team, the accomplishment is hardly worth writing home about. Samuel will once again be a boom/bust DFS option against the Chiefs next week.

Hollins has now gained first downs on eight of his last nine receptions since Week 16, while also being held under 35 receiving yards during that span. Hollins’ biggest contribution to the win was when he seemingly injured Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey on a screen-pass blocking play in which Hollins harshly drove Humphrey to the ground. Hollins can be expected to handle his typical two-to-three-target workload against the Chiefs next week.

Cooper was on-field for just 21-of-61 possible offensive snaps. His usage and results continue to confuse us. Although Cooper has dealt with wrist and back issues during his Bills tenure, he regularly practices in full which suggests the veteran wide receiver should at least be hitting a 50.0 percent snap offensive snap rate. Perhaps his great unveiling with take place against the Chiefs in next Sunday’s AFC Championship game.

Kincaid was nearly a non-factor in a Bills’ passing game that sure could use a viable No. 2 threat to complement slot receiver Khalil Shakir. PFF tallies 19 total blocking snaps and just 12 receiving snaps for Kincaid. He has yet to give Sean McDermott a reason to change tactics though. Kincaid will attempt to redeem himself against the Chiefs’ potent defense in the AFC Championship.
