  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.

  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.

  Seahawks | Nine receptions for Jaxon Smith-Njigba    Sun Dec 28, 06:02 PM

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.

  Seahawks | Kenneth Walker finishes with 57 total yards    Sun Dec 28, 05:58 PM

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III rushed for 51 yards on 15 carries against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. He also caught two passes for six yards during the game.

Footballguys view: Walker went back to being a dud in Week 17 lineups after he was a stud on many Week 16 benches. He is physically impressive, but Walker is just not meshing with the Seahawks run blocking and play calls. He is heading to free agency in the offseason as a player other teams may value more than Seattle.

  Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet picks up two rushing TDs    Sun Dec 28, 05:50 PM

Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. He also caught two passes for 12 yards during the game.

Footballguys view: Charbonnet was the big hit in the Seahawks backfield one week after Ken Walker III appeared to have his breakout game against the Rams. Charbonnet helped settle down Sam Darnold with a 25-yard run on 3rd-and-15 when Darnold was struggling early on, and he was more physical and determined than the Panthers run defense in the second half. His dynasty value could go way up in the offseason if the Seahawks don't re-sign Walker in free agency.

  Seahawks | Sam Darnold throws one TD, one INT    Sun Dec 28, 05:48 PM

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold went 18-for-27 for 147 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. He also lost a fumble during the game.

Footballguys view: The Panthers defense was up to the task in Week 17, harassing Darnold and forcing two turnovers. He never got comfortable throwing downfield to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but AJ Barner came through on a couple of big plays deep in Panthers territory and that was enough on a rough day for offensive football in Charlotte. Darnold could be playing for the #1 seed next week against the 49ers.

  Saints | Chris Olave shines in Week 17    Sun Dec 28, 05:45 PM

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave posted game highs with eight receptions, 119 yards and 11 targets in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans, and he also scored a touchdown.

Footballguys view: Olave was an elite fantasy WR1 with Tyler Shough. He'll play under his fifth year option next season, but expect the team to make a push to get Olave signed long term this offseason. He'll be drafted no later than the second round in fantasy drafts next year.

  Saints | Taysom Hill sees three total touches    Sun Dec 28, 05:44 PM

New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill registered three runs for no yards in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans, and he did not attempt a pass nor was he targeted in the passing game.

Footballguys view: We can say now that the Saints featured Hill last week as a possible send off for a unique player in front of the fan base that embraced him. Hill did get a few short yardage carries early that were unsuccessful, and then the Saints didn't go back to him.

New Orleans Saints RB Audric Estime rushed 14 times for 94 yards and a touchdown in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans, and he added a 4-yard reception on his lone target.

Footballguys view: Estime was a dud last week as the Saints put Taysom Hill in on key running plays during his possible last home game with the Saints. This week, he was the clear lead back and put up the RB2/Flex worthy game that many expected last week.
