Game Recaps


Durham Smythe caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in the Miami Dolphins 21-14 loss.

Fantasy Impact: Smythe didn't have a huge night, but he did finish as the Dolphins' second-leading receiver. Next week, he faces the Kansas City Chiefs, a team he recorded just 17 yards against earlier this season.


Cedrick Wilson Jr. caught one of his three targets for 24 yards in the Miami Dolphins Week 18 loss.

Fantasy Impact: Despite Jaylen Waddle's absence, Wilson Jr. was unable to do much of anything in the passing game. The performance broke his streak of four consecutive weeks with multiple catches.


Jeff Wilson Jr. carried the ball nine times for 45 yards in the Miami Dolphins 21-14 loss.

Fantasy Impact: With Raheem Mostert out, Wilson Jr. proved effective in the rushing attack, averaging five yards per carry. He finished the game with only one carry fewer than De'Von Achane. However, ifMostert can play next week, Wilson Jr. likely won't be a factor for the Dolphins.


De'Von Achance carried the ball 10 times for 56 yards and one touchdown in the Miami Dolphins 21-14 loss.

Fantasy Impact: De'Von Achances' 25-yard touchdown run was the highlight of the game for the Dolphins' offense. It was also the only effective play Achane had all night. He struggled to run the ball, and he finished with just one more carry than Jeff Wilson Jr. He also only caught one pass for five yards.


The Dolphins D/ST allowed 473 yards and a punt return touchdown in their Week 18 loss.

Fantasy Impact: The Dolphins' defense forced three timely Josh Allen turnovers, but they were unable to finish the job in the second half. They gave up a game-changing 96-yard punt return touchdown to Deonte Harty, and they let the Bills go 74 yards in the fourth quarter to take the lead. Next week, they will go on the road to Patrick Mahomes.


Jason Sanders made both of his extra points in the Miami Dolphins 21-14 loss.

Fantasy Impact: After attempting 10 field goals over the last three weeks, Sanders failed to attempt a single field goal for just the fifth time this season. The Dolphins will be on the road for the entire postseason, so kicking conditions will be far from ideal for Sanders moving forward.


Tyreek Hill caught seven of his 13 targets for 82 yards and one touchdown in the Miami Dolphins 21-14 loss.

Fantasy Impact: Hill managed a solid stat line despite hobbling to the sideline numerous times on Sunday night. With Jaylen Waddle and Raheem Mostert injured, the Dolphins cannot afford to also lose the league's leading receiver heading into the playoffs.


Tua Tagovailoa completed 17-of-27 passes for 173 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the Miami Dolphins Week 18 loss.

Fantasy Impact: Tagovailoa's 173 yards were his fewest in a game this season. He still had a chance to make a play late, but he threw his second interception of the game to give the Buffalo Bills the AFC East. Despite the disappointing performance, Tagovailoa finished the year as the league's leading passer.


Tyler Bass perfect in Week 18 win

Tyler Bass made all three of his extra points in the Buffalo Bills 21-14 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: For just the third time this season, Bass didn't attempt a single field goal. However, he did make all three of his extra points. With the Bills getting the number two seed, Bass could face bad kicking conditions in multiple postseason games.


Deonte Harty scored a 96-yard punt return touchdown to help propel the Buffalo Bills to the 21-14 win.

Fantasy Impact: The Miami Dolphins had two scoring drives of 75 or more yards in the second quarter, but the Bills' defense and special teams were perfect in the second half. Harty's touchdown in the fourth quarter put the Bills in position to win the game, and the defense did the rest. They held the Dolphins to just 14 points and 275 total yards, and they forced two turnovers. They have a juicy matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers next week.


Dawson Knox scores in Week 18 win

Dawson Knox caught two of his three targets for 22 yards and one touchdown in the Buffalo Bills win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Knox scored his second touchdown of the season, but that was the only highlight for the tight end. Dalton Kincaid was used significantly more in the passing game, and based on season-long stats, he will continue to outshine Knox in the postseason.


Khalil Shakir caught all six of his targets for 105 yards in the Buffalo Bills 21-14 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Shakir tied his season-high in receptions in the season finale. He also logged his second 100-yard game of the season. If Gabe Davis misses any postseason games, Shakir could be in line for a huge postseason.


Dalton Kincaid caught seven of his eight targets for 84 yards in the Buffalo Bills 21-14 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Kincaid was the third-leading receiver for the Bills on Sunday night, trailing only Khalil Shakir and Stefon Diggs. The performance was Kincaid's second 80-yard game in a row, after only hitting that mark once in his first 14 games of the year.


Gabe Davis left the Buffalo Bills 21-14 win over the Miami Dolphins in the second quarter with a knee injury.

Fantasy Impact: The seriousness of Davis' injury is unknown at the moment. Before his injury, he was targeted just once and did not record a catch. If Davis is unable to play in the postseason, Khalil Shakir and Trent Sherfield should see increases in their playing time.


Stefon Diggs caught seven of his eight targets for 87 yards in the Buffalo Bills 21-14 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: Diggs had a good night, but he could have had a massive one. He was wide open in the first quarter, but Josh Allen overthrew him for what would have been an easy 89-yard touchdown. Still, Diggs made numerous big plays throughout the game, and he has a solid matchup next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers.


James Cook accounted for 52 yards in the Buffalo Bills' 21-14 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact: With the Bills trailing for most of the game, Cook wasn't very involved in the offensive scheme. He carried the ball 13 times for just 36 yards. Josh Allen outperformed him in both categories. He added three catches for 16 yards.


Josh Allen finished 30-of-38 for 359 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, as he led the Buffalo Bills to the AFC East title.

Fantasy Impact: Allen added 15 carries for 67 yards to lead his team in rushing. Though Allen finished the season with the second-most interceptions in the league, he also put together clutch performances late in the year to lead his team to an improbable division title. The AFC is wide open, and if he can continue to offset his mistakes with spectacular passing numbers, the Bills could end up in the Super Bowl.


The Raiders' defense allowed just 14 points on 286 yards of total offense while coming up with five sacks and one interception in Sunday's win over the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact: The Raiders' pass rush harassed Denver QB Jarrett Stidham all afternoon Sunday, as five different players recorded a sack, including Maxx Crosby who finishes an excellent season with 14.5 of his own. The Raiders also defended the run very well in this victory, limiting the Broncos to just 38 yards on 20 carries. The Raiders' defense finishes the season on a nice run, as the unit has not surrendered more than 23 points in a game since before a Week 13 bye.


Daniel Carlson made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact: Carlson wrapped up a solid season with a perfect performance Sunday afternoon. The veteran kicker finishes the season going 26 for 30 on field-goal attempts with a long of 54 yards. Carlson also made all 32 of his extra-point attempts on the campaign.


Zamir White rushed for 112 yards on 25 carries and caught one pass for nine yards in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact: White turned in another workhorse effort out of the Raiders' backfield Sunday afternoon, as he got 20-plus carries for the third consecutive week and rushed for more than 100 yards for the second time in that span. Since stepping into the lead-back role in place of Josh Jacobs (quad) back in Week 15, White has averaged 99.3 yards rushing per game at a 4.7 per-carry clip. White has proven he can get it done when called upon.
