Mafe registered two tackles (one solo), and 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.

Mafe's going through a down season, as he has produced career lows in tackles (28) and sacks (2.0) through 16 games. His playing time has taken a hit since the 2023 season, when he racked up 9.0 sacks through 16 games. The Seahawks have a deep set of outside linebackers who are capable of rushing the passer, and Mafe's falling production has been replaced by the likes of DeMarcus Lawrence, Derrick Hall and Uchenna Nwosu.

Bobo wasn't targeted in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.

Bobo was scratched in the previous game, but he handled 17 offensive snaps in his return to the lineup because both Rashid Shaheed (concussion) and Cody White (groin) exited the game early with injuries. Bobo appeared to serve as the No. 3 wide receiver for the rest of the game, partially due to his strong run-blocking abilities. He could handle another increased role in Week 18 against the 49ers if Shaheed and White are unavailable.

Cannella caught two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers in Week 17.

Cannella was elevated from the practice squad for the game and unexpectedly led the team's tight ends in targets. That's partially due to Harold Fannin (groin) being removed after just 12 snaps. It's notable that Cannella was the preferred target over the already rostered Blake Whiteheart and Brenden Bates. If the Browns opt to shelve Fannin for the regular-season finale against the Bengals, Cannella could serve as the primary receiving option at tight end.

Young didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.

Young logged 11 offensive snaps -- his largest total since Week 3 -- because Rashid Shaheed (concussion) and Cody White (groin) exited the game early and didn't return. The Seahawks face a crucial test in Week 18 with the No. 1 seed on the line against the 49ers, and Young could have a slightly increased role once again if Shaheed and White can't go.

Saubert didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.

Saubert handled 52 percent of the offensive snaps, a season high for the veteran tight end, but he mostly stuck to a blocking role. The 2017 fifth-round pick has been targeted just four times over 10 games.

Williams had two carries for 10 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers in Week 17. He also returned one kickoff for 25 yards.

Dylan Sampson's return from an ankle injury left Williams has the third back behind Sampson and Raheim Sanders. Williams was added to Cleveland's 53-man roster a few weeks ago, while the Browns coped with injuries, and he has carved out a minor role in the backfield. The most significant of those injuries was to Quinshon Judkins (ankle/leg) last week, but with everyone else healthy, Williams isn't likely to see a much bigger workload in Week 18 against the Bengals.

Moore (illness) had one reception on four targets for seven yards in Sunday's 42-38 loss to the 49ers.

Moore was able to suit up for Sunday Night Football despite carrying a questionable tag due to an illness. Fantasy managers didn't benefit much from his presence in the lineup after the starter finished with a 25 percent catch rate. Moore was coming off two of his better games of the season prior to Sunday's dud, so there is hope for a bounce-back performance against the Lions once he is fully recovered in Week 18.

Jennings had two receptions on four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-38 victory over Chicago.

Jennings was quiet for most of this contest before breaking loose for the game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win. The veteran starter's two receptions checked in as his lowest total since being held to one catch back in Week 6. Jennings countered the decreased volume by hitting pay dirt for the fifth consecutive contest, helping him record double-digit touchdowns for the first time in his career. The 27-year-old will aim to extend his scoring streak to six games in a pivotal matchup against Seattle that will decide the NFC's No. 1 seed in Week 18.

Tonges corralled seven of nine targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-38 win over the Bears.

Tonges got the spot-start in place of George Kittle (ankle) on Sunday Night Football and took full advantage of the opportunity. The 25-year-old Tonges posted his best receiving line as a pro while leading the 49ers in targets and receptions in the primetime win. Savvy fantasy managers would have gotten ahead of this performance after monitoring the backup's role elevation when Kittle missed time earlier this season. Kittle's status for next week's matchup against Seattle -- which will determine the No. 1 seed in the NFC -- remains up in the air, but Tonges would retain his vaunted streaming status in fantasy if the former remains sidelined in Week 18.

Kinsey recorded one reception on one target for 34 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Saints.

Van Jefferson (forearm) exited the game in the second quarter, creating a void in the Titans' receiving corps. James Proche earned the majority of the targets, though Kinsey made the most of his one chance and helped set up a field goal for the Titans early in the third quarter. He could be asked to step into a larger role in Week 18 against the Jaguars, though Kinsey only has two catches across nine games in 2025.
