  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Rams' Jared Goff: Tosses four TDs in blowout

    Goff completed 15 of 26 passes for 199 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 48-32 win over the 49ers.

    Goff had an early exit for the second straight week with the Rams winning 45-17, as backup Sean Mannion entered the game in the closing stages of the third quarter. The 24-year-old rebounded the last two games by completing 34 of 50 passes for 415 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions after a rough three-week stretch to begin December. Los Angeles secured the No. 2 seed in the NFC and will now have a week to rest up before hosting in the divisional round.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Serviceable in season finale

    Wilson completed 12 of 21 pass attempts for 152 yards, with one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 27-24 win against Arizona.

    After posting eight consecutive outings with multiple passing touchdowns between Weeks 5 and 13, Wilson has been somewhat inconsistent during the fantasy postseason. The 30-year-old put forth typically impressive performances in Weeks 14 and 15 by throwing for 508 combined passing yards and five touchdowns against the 49ers and Chiefs, but those two games were sandwiched between duds against Minnesota and Arizona in which he averaged 112 passing yards per game with one touchdown and two picks. Wilson has a challenging matchup forthcoming in the wild-card round, taking on a Cowboys defense that's allowing the second-fewest yards per attempt (6.4) on the season.

  • Titans' Blaine Gabbert: Starts in place of Mariota

    Gabbert will start Sunday night's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    He gets the nod for the the Titans' win-or-go home contest, with Marcus Mariota (neck/foot) inactive for the contest. Austin Davis will serve as Gabbert's backup Sunday. A run-heavy attack featuring Derrick Henry seems like a plausible scenario for Tennessee in the team's regular-season finale.

  • Marcus Mariota QB | WAS

    Titans' Marcus Mariota: Inactive Sunday

    Mariota (neck/foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    With Mariota inactive, Blaine Gabbert will start Sunday night's win-or-go-home contest, with Austin Davis on hand to serve as his backup.

  • Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN

    Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill: One last clunker to cap season

    Tannehill completed 18 of 31 passes for 147 yards and two interceptions while also rushing twice for nine yards and losing a fumble in Sunday's 42-17 loss to Buffalo. He finishes the season with 1,979 passing yards, 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions.

    Tannehill's combination of injuries and ineffectiveness rendered him a nearly useless fantasy commodity for most of the season. The Dolphins, who were lucky to even achieve their mediocre 7-9 record, will likely try to get out of the $26.6 million they owe their 2012 first-rounder next season, as no team would even give him half of that total on the open market.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: Runs wild as rookie

    Allen completed 17 of 26 passes for 224 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 42-17 win over Miami. He also rushed nine times for 95 yards and two touchdowns, finishing his rookie campaign with 2,074 yards, 10 touchdowns and 12 interceptions through the air, along with 89 carries for 631 yards and eight touchdowns.

    Allen was drafted in the first round thanks to his tremendous physical gifts, but his prolific rushing totals significantly surpassed expectations. If he ever figures out how to also pass effectively, the big-armed quarterback would become one of the most dangerous fantasy options at his position. Buffalo's goals this offseason should focus on surrounding Allen with significantly greater talent on offense.

  • Saints' Teddy Bridgewater: Throws first touchdown since 2015

    Bridgewater connected on 14 of 22 passes for 118 yards, a touchdown, and an interception during Sunday's 33-14 loss to the Panthers. He added 12 yards on four carries.

    Bridgewater hadn't completed a pass since 2015 and had attempted just three in regular-season action since then, so some rust was to be expected. Still, it was a feel-good story to see him loft a nine-yard touchdown to Tre'Quan Smith early in the fourth quarter, the game already well under control. The feel-goodery probably ends there. If all goes to plan for New Orleans, Sunday will have featured Bridgewater's last meaningful snaps of the season.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Throws four TD passes

    Prescott completed 27 of 44 pass attempts for 387 yards and four touchdowns during Sunday's 36-35 win over the Giants.

    Prescott acknowledged the possibility of sitting out part of the game, but he hung in until the very end and delivered perhaps his finest performance of the season. He hooked up with Blake Jarwin for three touchdowns before a 32-yard strike to Cole Beasley, which he followed up with the decisive two-point conversion. Prescott struggled over the last two games, so this was a positive way to close out the regular season. The 25-year-old, who finishes the campaign with 3,885 passing yards, 26 total touchdowns and eight interceptions, will now turn his attention to next week's wild-card game at home.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Jets' Sam Darnold: Caps rookie season with loss

    Darnold completed 16 of 28 passes for 167 yards while adding a 28-yard carry and losing a fumble in Sunday's 38-3 loss to New England. He finishes the season with 2,865 passing yards and a 17:15 touchdown to interception ratio.

    Darnold ends his up-and-down rookie season on a down note, though the 28-yard rush was the longest of his career. He should undoubtedly return as the Jets' starting quarterback next season, and the team has oodles of cap space and a high draft pick to surround Darnold with more talent, as the poor play around him noticeably took a toll on the third overall pick's numbers.

  • Deshaun Watson QB | CLE

    Texans' Deshaun Watson: Cruises in win

    Watson connected on 25 of 35 passes for 234 yards and added 66 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jaguars.

    The Texans didn't need to do much to top Jacksonville, the Jaguars offense going stale after a first-quarter field goal. For his part, Watson rolled with a couple of nice tosses to DeAndre Hopkins and a five-yard option keeper for a touchdown to start the second quarter. The victory coupled with with New England's win clinched Houston the third seed in the AFC. All that's left is to determine the team they host next week. The most likely scenario involves a division rematch against the winner of Sunday night's game between Indianapolis and Tennessee. Watson's been effective against both rivals this season, particularly the Titans, completing 73.2 percent of passes for 520 yards, four touchdowns, and a pick in two games to go along with 114 rushing yards and a touchdown. Against Indy, he's completed 70.0 percent of passes for 642 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception to go with 76 rushing yards and another score. Should Indianapolis and Tennessee tie Sunday night, either the Steelers or Ravens could be going to Houston.
