Williams (ankle) handled 12 carries for 60 yards while adding three receptions on five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 37-20 rout of the Cardinals.

Williams and teammate Blake Corum were both limited during the practice week with ankle injuries, and both managed to suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale. The talented duo split the backfield work evenly with Williams outproducing Corum 81 to 69 in total yards. The 24-year-old Williams finishes the regular season with a 259-1,252-10 rushing line while adding 281 receiving yards and three additional scores across 17 starts. The consistent fantasy star has generated at least 1,000 rushing yards with double-digit touchdowns for three straight years. Williams will continue to start while sharing backfield responsibilities with Corum as the Rams prepare to face the Panthers in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Strange recorded six receptions on six targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-7 win over the Titans.

Strange tied for second on the team in targets with Jakobi Meyers and was one of the Jaguars' most effective pass catchers. He was particularly impactful on a possession early in the second quarter, when he recorded four catches for 33 yards -- including a seven-yard touchdown. Strange took a significant step forward in his third pro season, setting new career highs in receptions (46), yards (540) and touchdowns (three) despite playing in only 12 games. He should be a key target for Trevor Lawrence during the team's playoff run.

Ward (shoulder) is believed to have a Grade 3 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Ward could face a multi-month recovery process if the diagnosis of a Grade 3 sprain is confirmed by further tests. The first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft was injured in the first quarter of the Titans' 41-7 loss to the Jaguars in Sunday's regular-season finale and had his right shoulder in a sling after the game. Further clarification on Ward's recovery timeline will come after he undergoes additional testing on the injury.

Barkley was active but did not play in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Commanders.

Barkley was given a breather in Week 18 as Philadelphia gets set to begin its postseason run. The running back has now officially finished his second campaign with the Eagles having turned 280 carries into 1,140 yards and seven scores while also reeling in 37 of 50 targets for 273 yards and two touchdowns over 16 regular-season contests. Barkley compiled 499 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 91 carries over four contests during the postseason last year, and he'll look to pick up where he left off when the team hosts the 49ers in the wild-card round next weekend.

Diggs caught all three of his targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Dolphins.

Diggs finished second on the team in receiving yards Sunday, trailing only Hunter Henry, who secured all five of his targets for 56 yards. Diggs wraps up the regular season having appeared in all 17 games while securing 85 of 102 targets for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns. New England will host the Chargers for a wild-card playoff matchup next weekend in what will be a difficult-on-paper spot for Diggs.

Jeanty rushed the ball 26 times for 87 yards in Sunday's 14-12 win over the Chiefs. He added three receptions on five targets for seven yards.

Jeanty unsurprisingly remained the focal point of the offense, logging over 25 total touches for the second time in his last three games. He didn't find much running room, though he did manage two rushes of at least 10 yards. Jeanty ultimately finished his rookie campaign with 1,321 yards from scrimmage while falling only 25 rushing yards short of 1,000. The Raiders secured the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft despite the win and are almost certain to select a quarterback, so Jeanty should have a better supporting cast around him for his sophomore campaign.

Stafford completed 25 of 40 pass attempts for 259 yards and four touchdowns while taking one carry for three yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over Arizona.

Stafford bounced back nicely from a three-interception dud in Week 17, but it wasn't all smooth sailing during a sluggish first half against the fledgling Cardinals. The MVP candidate looked the part coming out of halftime when he conducted scoring drives on three consecutive possessions to put the game out of reach. The 37-year-old will finish the 2025 regular season leading the league in both passing yards (4,743) and touchdown passes (48) while earning the Rams the NFC's No. 5 seed heading into the playoffs. Stafford's incredible regular-season accomplishments should make him one of the top DFS options available in the wild-card round when the Rams visit the 8-9 Panthers.

Maye completed 14 of 18 passes for 191 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and rushed five times for 41 yards in the Patriots' 38-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Maye's final line underscores the fact he once again flashed elite efficiency as the Patriots closed out a standout regular season with their 14th victory, clinching the AFC's No. 2 seed in the process. New England's stellar backfield duo of Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson stole plenty of the spotlight with three rushing touchdowns, although Stevenson was also on the receiving end of Maye's one scoring toss from 15 yards out midway through the third quarter. Maye closed out his second regular season with a 72.0 percent completion rate, 4,394 passing yards, a 31:8 TD:INT and 450 rushing yards along with four additional rushing scores across 17 games. The 2024 third overall pick will now prepare for his first postseason game, a home matchup against the Chargers in next weekend's wild-card round.

Brown was active but didn't see any action in Sunday's 24-17 loss to Washington.

Brown was ultimately given the week off as the Eagles gear up for the postseason. The wide receiver will finish his fourth campaign in Philadelphia having caught 78 of 121 targets for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns over 15 regular-season contests. Brown will now look to take advantage of an unimpressive 49ers secondary in the wild-card round next weekend.

Tuten rushed five times for 23 yards and one touchdown in the Jaguars' 41-7 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Tuten carried the ball five times behind Travis Etienne's 14, but it was Tuten who scored a touchdown in this one, as he punched in a five-yard score in the fourth quarter of the blowout win. Tuten will handle RB2 duties behind Etienne for next weekend's wild-card matchup with the Bills.
