Jaguars | Parker Washington hits triple digits Sun Dec 28, 07:43 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington had eight receptions for 115 yards on 10 targets in the Week 17 game against the Indianapolis Colts, and he ran for minus-5 yards.
| Footballguys view: As NFL.com suggested, Washington continues proving himself as a reliable target, racking up contested catches and playing much larger than his 5-10 frame. One week after setting a career high with 145 receiving yards and a touchdown in the Jags' win over Denver, Washington delivered again. On a day Trevor Lawrence went without a passing touchdown (but ran for two scores), Washington was an essential part of a Jacksonville air attack that is suddenly very diverse thanks to the presence of Brian Thomas Jr., the acquisition of Jakobi Meyers, and the ascension of Washington and tight end Brenton Strange. |

Jaguars | Trevor Lawrence runs for two touchdowns Sun Dec 28, 07:24 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 23-of-37 passes for 263 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 17 against the Indianapolis Colts, while posting eight runs for 26 yards and two touchdowns.
| Footballguys view: As NFL.com suggested, Lawrence is playing the best football of his career right now. Even on a day in which he was held without a passing touchdown, Lawrence delivered a strong fantasy performance. His 23.1 points ranked fifth through Sunday night's kickoff. Fantasy investors who played him down the stretch got league-winning numbers as Lawrence averaged 32.9 points per game from Weeks 15 through 17. Of course, Lawrence's draft value will rise based on his strong finish. We'll be covering that all offseason long. |

Panthers | One catch for Tetairoa McMillan Sun Dec 28, 06:53 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan caught one pass for five yards against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17. He was targeted four times during the game.
| Footballguys view: It's not clear if the illness that made McMillan a late add to the questionable list affected his play because the Seahawks rarely allowed Bryce Young to have clean looks in the passing game. The rookie #8 overall pick lived up to the hype, but it's not clear if he has the quarterback to unlock his fantasy value long term. |

Panthers | Byrce Young finishes with 54 passing yards Sun Dec 28, 06:32 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young went 14-for-24 for 54 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17. He also rushed for 27 yards and one touchdown on nine carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: For once, it was as bad as the stats looked. Young was overwhelmed by the Seahawks defense at every turn and looked powerless to move the ball through the air for most of the afternoon. He'll still get a chance to host a playoff game if he and the Panthers win at Tampa next week. |

Titans | Chimere Dike busy in Week 17 loss Sun Dec 28, 06:32 PM
Tennessee Titans TE Chimere Dike posted four receptions for 55 yards on five targets in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints, while running once for seven yards. He also had a 33-yard kick return, and a 7-yard punt return.
| Footballguys view: Dike broke the rookie all-purpose yardage record that was held by Tim Brown, which was 2,317 yards in 1988. The fourth round pick has been much more capable in the passing game than expected while bringing speed and playmaker instincts to the return game. He had two games with scores as a receiver and returner this season and has the look of a future cornerstone for this offense. |
Titans | Chig Okonkwo totals team-best 55 yards, TD Sun Dec 28, 06:27 PM
Tennessee Titans TE Chig Okonkwo posted three receptions for 55 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints.
| Footballguys view: Okonkwo went beast mode on his 40+ yard score, shrugging off a would-be tackler like he was the Incredible Hulk. He'll be a free agent next season, but Okonkwo has been contributing more down the stretch. It would be smart of the Titans to bring him back after the passing game weapon established chemistry with #1 pick Cam Ward. |

Titans | Tony Pollard has 100-yard streak snapped Sun Dec 28, 06:22 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard rushed 18 times for 85 yards in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints, while adding two receptions for 10 yards on two targets. He ended up going over the 1,000-yard rushing yard, too, hitting that milestone for the fourth consecutive season.
| Footballguys view: Pollard fell short of posting his fourth straight 100-yard rushing game, but he was still a strong performer. He might have done enough to justify playing him the $6.7 million he is due next season. Pollard showed he still has some good football left in him. Going over 1000 yards rushing for this team was quite the feat. |

Seahawks | Rashid Shaheed held to one catch before injury Sun Dec 28, 06:17 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed (concussion) caught one pass for eight yards against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17 before leaving the game because of a concussion. He was targeted one time during the game.
| Footballguys view: Gregg Bell, of The Tacoma News Tribune, reported that Shaheed is in concussion protocol and his status for next week's matchup with the San Francisco 49ers was "in doubt." At the very least, Shaheed will have to clear the league's concussion protocol before playing again. On Sunday, with Cody White also exiting due to a groin injury, Cooper Kupp, Dareke Young, and Jake Bobo were available to work behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. |

Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner caught three passes for 43 yards and one touchdown against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. He was targeted three times during the game.
Link to story Titans | Cam Ward continues to make strides Sun Dec 28, 06:08 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward completed 21-of-40 passes for 251 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints, while running twice for 10 yards with two fumbles, including one lost.
| Footballguys view: Ward has been playing better as the season has gone on, and he has one of the least impressive groups of passcatchers in the league. He is poised to gain value with the Titans hopefully hiring and offensive-minded head coach and making improvements to their wide receiver room. |
Titans | Another sack for Jeffery Simmons Sun Dec 28, 06:06 PM
Tennessee Titans DL Jeffery Simmons ended up with seven total stops, four solo tackles and a sack with a quarterback hit in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught nine passes for 72 yards against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. He was targeted 12 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: It wasn't a ceiling game for Smith-Njigba, but he wasn't a liability in PPR lineups, and he's surely a big reason that many fantasy teams were in the championship today. |
