Skylar Thompson has signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Fantasy Impact: Pittsburgh doesn’t currently have a QB under contract for 2025 until now, with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields both being upcoming free agents. The expectation is one of Wilson or Fields will resign with the Steelers, but it’s not known who at the time of writing. Either way, Thompson isn’t a needle mover but he at least gives them some depth and a QB available for offseason work.
The Rams' D/ST logged two sacks and allowed 30 points in Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: The Rams didn't play all of their starters for the entire game on Sunday, so it makes sense why their defense looked particularly vulnerable. They allowed 30 points, but they will hope to tighten things down for their tough matchup against the Vikings in the Wild Card round of the playoffs next week.
Joshua Karty converted 4-of-4 field goal attempts and made his lone extra point attempt in Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: Karty was fantastic on Sunday. He made all five of his kicks against the Seahawks, including a field goal that he knocked in from 58 yards out. He finished with 13 points on the day, which left any fantasy managers still playing in Week 18 happy with his performance.
Colby Parkinson caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: Parkinson didn't do much on Sunday. He was held to just one catch over the course of the game, which continued his stretch of underwhelming performances. Tyler Higbee is the clear-cut TE1 for the Rams, which will leave him in the backseat for the postseason and likely into the 2025 season.
Tyler Higbee caught 5-of-7 targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: The Rams sat several of their starters against the Seahawks, but Higbee played and put up a nice performance in Week 18, totaling 46 yards and a touchdown on five catches. He should continue to be the team's top tight end throughout the postseason and presumably in 2025, barring any unforeseen developments on the team's depth chart.
Tyler Johnson caught 4-of-7 passes for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: Johnson saw increased opportunities on Sunday with Los Angeles resting a number of key starters ahead of the playoffs. He was able to put up a nice performance, finishing with four catches and a touchdown against the Seahawks. He is set to be an unrestricted free agent after this season, and it remains to be seen what team he will sign with.
Tutu Atwell hauled in 5-of-8 targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: Atwell was heavily involved in Sunday's game, but he was only able to turn his eight targets into 37 yards over the course of the afternoon. He has turned into nothing more than a depth piece on Los Angeles' offense, so his outlook for the 2025 season and beyond is not optimistic.
Demarcus Robinson caught 3-of-6 targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: Robinson rounded out the 2024 regular season with a solid game on Sunday. He totaled 72 yards against the Seahawks, which brought him over 500 yards on the season to go with his seven touchdowns. He proved to be a solid depth piece for the Rams this year, but it's unlikely that he will be anything beyond that moving forward.
Jordan Whittington caught three passes for 86 yards and rushed the ball twice for 12 yards in Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: The rookie played well on Sunday, leading the team in receiving yards in a close loss to the Seahawks. He showed a lot of promise in his first season, but he may not get a chance to play a large role in 2025 if Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua are both healthy and on the field for Los Angeles. It will be worth watching if he can build up any momentum for himself throughout the playoffs.
Ronnie Rivers rushed the ball 12 times for 48 yards and caught four passes for 34 yards in Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: Rivers served as the team's top running back with Kyren Williams resting and Blake Corum suffering an arm injury early on in the game. He led the team with 48 rushing yards on the day and was also able to contribute well as a receiver. He now projects to be the team's RB2 throughout the playoffs with Corum expected to miss significant time.
Jimmy Garoppolo completed 27-of-41 passing attempts for 334 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: Garoppolo stepped up as the starter for Los Angeles in the absence of Matthew Stafford, who the team decided to sit in anticipation for their playoff game next week. The 33-year old had a pretty good game, but it wasn't enough for the Rams to pick up the win. He will be a free agent after this season, and it remains to be seen where he will end up.
The Seahawks' D/ST logged three sacks and an interception while allowing 25 points in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact: Seattle's defense didn't play great on Sunday. They were able to log one turnover, but they allowed Los Angeles' backups to score 25 points and almost secure a win. This unit is below average right now and will need to be patched up in free agency and in the NFL Draft.
Jason Myers converted 3-of-3 extra point attempts and 1-of-1 field goal attempts in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact: Myers played a good game on Sunday. He made all four of his kicks in Seattle's win over the Rams, including a field goal that he hit from 56 yards out. He finished as the K13 on the season, which is less than ideal.
AJ Barner hauled in five passes for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact: Barner ended his rookie campaign with a nice game on Sunday. He saw a lot of involvement against the Rams, catching five passes that went for 34 yards and a touchdown. He projects to play a larger role for Seattle's offense next season, but his upside will be limited for however long Noah Fant remains Seattle's starter.
Noah Fant caught five passes for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact: Fant played well in Seattle's final game of the season on Sunday. He led the team in receiving yards and was able to get into the end zone on one of his five catches, which left him with a nice fantasy total on the day. His fantasy value for 2025 will depend on how much competition he faces from other skill-position players on Seattle's offense.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught four passes for just nine yards in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact: Smith-Njigba wasn't able to put up a good performance on Sunday, finishing with just nine yards over the course of the afternoon. He still had a very impressive breakout season in 2024, and it will be interesting to see where his fantasy value ends up for the 2025 season over the course of the offseason.
DK Metcalf caught 3-of-5 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact: Metcalf had a nice performance to end the season on Sunday. He totaled 53 yards and was able to find the end zone on one of his three catches, which left him with a solid fantasy total. His outlook for 2025 is complicated by the breakout of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who usurped him as the team's WR1 this season.
Tyler Lockett caught 2-of-4 targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact: Lockett's disappointing season continued on Sunday. He finished the game with just 28 scoreless yards, which brought him up to 600 yards and two touchdowns on the season. He will turn 33-years old early on in the 2025 season, so we've likely seen the last of his fantasy relevance.
Kenny McIntosh rushed the ball seven times for 49 yards in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact: McIntosh saw a good amount of work on Sunday. He did well with it, totaling 49 yards at an efficient clip of 7.0 yards per carry. He will likely have a minimal role with the Seahawks again in 2025.
Zach Charbonnet rushed the ball 14 times for 59 yards and totaled 32 yards through the air in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact: Charbonnet once again served as Seattle's primary running back in Week 18 with Kenneth Walker III (ankle) still on injured reserve. He played pretty well as the starter, totaling 91 yards in a win over the Rams. He looked good whenever he was the lead back for the Seahawks this year, which could complicate the outlook of this backfield in 2025 and beyond.
