Jaguars | Jakobi Meyers catches five passes Sun Jan 4, 05:13 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers caught five passes for 44 yards against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. He was targeted six times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Meyers was a mostly modest producer during Trevor Lawrence's late season tear, but there's no doubt that adding him to the offense helped turn the season around for the quarterback. Meyers will be a stalwart in this offense through at least 2027 after signing an extension a few weeks ago as an early Christmas present. |

Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson caught one of two targets for five yards in a Week 18 loss to the New York Giants.
Link to story Jaguars | Brian Thomas finishes with 49 yards Sun Jan 4, 05:08 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. caught three passes for 49 yards against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. He was targeted five times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Thomas was a massive fantasy bust as a first round pick as Mac Jones also played well for the 49ers, forcing us to recontextual the massive fantasy run the combination went in the second half of 2024. Thomas will be a hotly debated player in fantasy circles next season. It's not completely out of the question that he could be available via trade if anyone calls up Jaguars GM James Gladstone, who inherited Thomas from the previous regime. |
Bengals | Tee Higgins secures TD in Week 18 Sun Jan 4, 05:08 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins ended up with six receptions for 67 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns.
| Footballguys view: Higgins underperformed his fantasy draft cost, but more because of injuries than any overestimation of the value of the intersection of his talent and situation. He'll likely be undervalued in fantasy drafts and dynasty leagues this offseason. |

Cowboys | George Pickens limited to one grab in finale Sun Jan 4, 05:06 PM
Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens caught one of three targets for nine yards in a Week 18 loss to the New York Giants.
| Footballguys view: Pickens will be one of the most discussed players this offseason as a free agent that will likely get the franchise tag or a new contract from the Cowboys. Pickens was mostly a difference maker in a positive way during his first season in Dallas, but not always. Negotiations between players and Jerry Jones have a way of going sideways, so we should be ready for anything. |
Jaguars | Six receptions for Brenton Strange Sun Jan 4, 05:02 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars TE Brenton Strange caught six passes for 52 yards and one touchdown against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. He was targeted six times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Strange had a breakout season of sorts even though he missed five games. He is a classic two-way tight end in the mold of George Kittle or Tucker Kraft even though he isn't nearly as productive as they were as receivers this season. Strange caught the ball 54 of the 60 times that Trevor Lawrence targeted him this season. His arrow is pointing up and Strange could get more attention in NFL and fantasy circles with a big game in the postseason. |

Jaguars | Parker Washington catches TD pass Sun Jan 4, 04:57 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington caught five passes for 87 yards and one touchdown against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. He was targeted nine times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Washington, who missed a few snaps after being shaken up by a big hit, has emerged as the #1 producer in the Jaguars passing game. He's probably underrated in playoff fantasy football and will be a candidate for a market rate extension this offseason with his rookie contract expiring after next season. |

Bengals | Samaje Perine wraps season with 11 touches Sun Jan 4, 04:57 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Samaje Perine posted eight carries for 42 yards in Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns, while adding three receptions for 10 yards on four targets.

Bengals | Chase Brown ends season on high note Sun Jan 4, 04:53 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown rushed 13 times for 72 yards in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns, while adding four receptions for 18 yards and a touchdown on his six targets.
| Footballguys view: Brown was a top five running back in PPR leagues when Joe Burrow started even though Samaje Perine got more snaps and touches than anyone expected when Brown was going near the 2-3 turn of fantasy drafts this summer. He should go higher in 2026 drafts, but may still be a value pick in second round. |

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten rushed for 23 yards and one touchdown on five carries against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18.
Link to story Bengals | Joe Burrow finishes with three touchdowns Sun Jan 4, 04:50 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 29-of-39 passes for 236 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the Week 18 game against the Cleveland Browns, while running for 17 yards on two attempts.
| Footballguys view: This was one of Burrow's better games against the Browns stout defense, and it would have been more than enough to win if Cleveland hadn't scored two defensive touchdowns, including one on a Burrow interception. This season reinforced both that Burrow is one of the elite quarterbacks in both NFL and fantasy terms, and that he is more likely to suffer significant injuries than his peers. |

Cowboys | Jaydon Blue runs for 65 yards and a touchdown Sun Jan 4, 04:49 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue carried 16 times for 64 yards and his first career touchdown in a Week 18 loss to the New York Giants.
| Footballguys view: Blue has apparently been in and out of the doghouse during his rookie season, but this performance to finish the season is the right note to end on with Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders both free agents after signing only one year deals. Blue is worth a spot at the end of your roster in dynasty leagues and will be a player to monitor throughout the offseason. |

Jaguars | Travis Etienne has disappointing outing Sun Jan 4, 04:43 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne rushed for 32 yards on 14 carries against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. He also one pass for six yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Etienne was much better than expected, seizing the top of the backfield with a strong Week 1 performance. The Jaguars even traded Tank Bigsby during the season and they appeared to lose trust in rookie Bhayshul Tuten because of ball security issues. Etienne will be a free agent after the season, but the Jaguars could, maybe even should bring him back. |

Cleveland Browns WR Isaiah Bond ended up with a single 13-yard reception on two targets in Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Link to story Jaguars | Three touchdowns for Trevor Lawrence Sun Jan 4, 04:35 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence went 22-for-30 for 255 yards and three touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. He also rushed for 11 yards in two carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Lawrence is the hottest quarterback in the league heading into the postseason. He won a 31-30 thriller over Justin Herbert and the Chargers in the 2023 playoffs when he threw four touchdowns and four interceptions, and then lost 27-20 to Patrick Mahomes at Arrowhead. It will be tempting to pick the Jaguars to go to the Super Bowl in a wide open AFC. |

Tennessee Titans WR Elic Ayomanor caught three passes for 50 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 18. He was targeted 10 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Ayomanor caught a 39 yard bomb from Cam Ward on the game's opening drive, which ended with a Ward touchdown run. The quarterback suffered a shoulder injury during the play, so the passing game stalled out after that against a spirited Jaguars defense. The Titans appear to have to found two long term contributors - if not starters - at wide receiver in the fourth round this season in Ayomanor and Dike, along with a potential future starting tight end in Gunnar Helm. |

Browns | Shedeur Sanders doesn't do much in finale Sun Jan 4, 04:02 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders completed 11-of-22 passes for 111 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals, while running three times for 26 yards with one lost fumble.
| Footballguys view: The Browns scored two defensive touchdowns in the first quarter and Sanders added two second half field goal drives, including one that ended with the game-winning field goal from Andre Szmyt. Sanders played the best this season of any of the quarterbacks on the roster, but Deshaun Watson didn't play this season. Cleveland could make a move at quarterback in the first round of the draft or free agency. The Browns go into the offseason with more questions than answers on offense. |

Cleveland Browns CB Sam Webb finished with four total stops, two solo tackles and a fumble recovery for a 47-yard touchdown in the Week 18 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Browns | Myles Garrett becomes new NFL sack king Sun Jan 4, 03:56 PM
Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett had a solo tackle, a sack, a tackle for loss and two quarterback hits in Week 18 against the Cincinnati. He reached 23 sacks to set a new NFL single-season mark, breaking the record held by former New York Giants DE Michael Strahan and current Pittsburgh Steelers LB T.J. Watt.
| Footballguys view: We throw around the term generational talent too often, but Garrett has ended up being exactly that. The Browns are at an eternal crossroads when it comes to their quarterback situation, but Garrett and the defense are good enough to make them a winner if they can just become a middle of the road offense. We'll be watching to see what they do in response to finishing 31st in scoring, after finishing 32nd in 2024. |
