Game Recaps


Hassan Haskins rushed the ball just one time for three yards in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Fantasy Impact: Haskins cleared the NFL's concussion protocols in time to play on Sunday, but he was uninvolved against the Broncos and was limited to just one rushing attempt. He is not expected to play a big role for them in their Wild Card game with Omarion Hampton (ankle) expected to be back in the lineup.


Kimani Vidal rushed the ball three times for 12 yards in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Fantasy Impact: Vidal was cleared to play on Sunday after coming into the week with a neck issue of some kind. He didn't play much against the Broncos, however, touching the ball just four times in the team's loss. He will likely play a bigger role for them in the postseason, starting in a matchup against the Patriots next week.


Trey Lance completed 20-of-44 passing attempts for 136 yards and an interception while adding 69 yards on the ground in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Fantasy Impact: Lance got the start on Sunday with Justin Herbert inactive for the Chargers. The 25-year old struggled against Denver's defense, as he committed two turnovers and failed to lead Los Angeles to even one touchdown over the course of the afternoon. He is set to become a free agent after this season but will likely remain nothing more than a depth piece wherever he lands.


The Broncos' D/ST logged four sacks, one interception, one fumble recovery, and a touchdown while allowing just three points in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: Denver's defense has been among the best in the league all season long, and they had a suitable performance to end the regular season on Sunday. They logged four sacks and two turnovers against the Chargers, one of which they were able to take to the house for a touchdown. This unit will make life hard for any team they end up playing in the postseason.


Wil Lutz went 4-of-4 on his field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: The veteran kicker was automatic on Sunday, making all five of his kicks en route to a win over the Chargers. He finished with 13 of the team's 19 total points, which was reflected in the fantasy total that he racked up.


Evan Engram caught 3-of-4 targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: The veteran finished as the team's leading receiver on Sunday, despite only racking up a modest 45 yards over the course of the game. He should continue to be an important part of Denver's offense as they now head into the postseason.


Troy Franklin did not haul in his lone target in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: Franklin was not able to end the regular season strong on Sunday, as he failed to log even a single catch against the Chargers. He flashed some potential in the middle of this season, but if he is to have any fantasy value moving forward, he will need to get more consistent as a player.


Marvin Mims Jr. caught 2-of-3 targets for ten yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: Mims had a quiet game on Sunday. He finished with just ten yards in the team's win over the Chargers, which left him with a poor fantasy total. The Broncos will likely continue to utilize him as a gadget guy in the postseason.


Pat Bryant hauled in 4-of-5 targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: Bryant was uncertain to play coming into the week due to a concussion that he was dealing with, but he was able to play through it and ended up racking up 31 total yards against the Chargers. He will continue to play a supporting role for Denver's offense as they head into the postseason.


Courtland Sutton caught 1-of-2 targets for just five yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: The Broncos were able to pick up a nice win over the Chargers on Sunday to secure the #1 seed in the AFC. Sutton wasn't able to get in on the action much, however, finishing with just one catch for five yards on the day. He has had an up-and-down season overall, but the team will need him to step up ahead of what has the potential to be a deep playoff push over the next few weeks.


Jaleel McLaughlin rushed the ball six times for 41 yards and caught one pass for 17 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: McLaughlin played pretty well on Sunday. He was efficient in his limited work on the ground and was able to rack up 58 total yards on the afternoon, which helped Denver to pick up a nice win over the Chargers to secure the top seed in the AFC. He will likely continue to play a limited role for the Broncos in the postseason, but after that he will be a restricted free agent, so it's unclear what his future holds.


RJ Harvey rushed the ball 15 times for 28 yards and caught 1-of-4 targets for five yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: The rookie has been a good fantasy option over the last stretch of the regular season, but he had a bad season finale on Sunday. He was only able to rack up a measly 33 scoreless yards against the Chargers, despite seeing 19 opportunities over the course of the game. Any fantasy managers still playing in Week 18 were let down with his performance in this matchup.


Bo Nix quiet in Week 18 win

Mon, Jan 5th 10:34am EST
By Leo Sells

Bo Nix completed 14-of-23 passing attempts for 141 yards and added 49 yards on the ground in Denver's 19-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact: The Broncos were able to pick up a nice win over the Chargers on Sunday to secure the #1 seed in the AFC. Nix didn't find much success from a fantasy perspective, however, totaling less than 200 yards and zero touchdowns over the course of the game. He had an up-and-down season from a fantasy perspective but will be looking for higher glory in what could be a deep playoff run for the Broncos this year.


Chris Boswell made both of his field-goal attempts and added two extra points in a 26-24 win over the Ravens in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Boswell hit field goals from 57 and 25 yards out in the win, which gave Pittsburgh the AFC North title. The veteran wraps the 2025 regular season with 27 field goals on 32 attempts and 42 extra points. He will now prepare to face the Texans at home in the Wild-Card round next week.


Jonnu Smith caught one of his two targets for two yards and added a two-yard rush in a 26-24 win over the Ravens in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Smith was quiet in the key win, which gave the Steelers the AFC North title. The veteran tight end finishes the 2025 regular season with 38 catches for 222 yards and two touchdowns while adding nine carries for 70 yards and a touchdown on the ground. He will now prepare to host the Texans in the Wild-Card round.


Pat Freiermuth caught three of his five targets for 51 yards in a 26-24 win over the Ravens in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Freiermuth finished third on the Steelers in receiving in the win. The veteran tight end wraps the regular season with 41 catches for 486 yards and four touchdowns while appearing in all 17 of the Steelers' games. He will now prepare to take on the Texans at home in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs.


Calvin Austin III caught three of his seven targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in a 26-24 win over the Ravens in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Austin's 26-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter wound up being the game-winner for the Steelers, giving them the AFC North title and a trip to the playoffs. Austin finishes the regular season with 31 catches for 372 yards and three touchdowns. He will now prepare to host the Texans in the Wild-Card round.


Adam Thielen caught three of his six targets for 43 yards in a 26-24 win over the Ravens in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Thielen finished fourth on the Steelers in receiving in the win. That being said, the veteran wideout is likely to take a step back in the offense in the playoffs with DK Metcalf set to return from a two-game suspension. The Steelers will next host the Texans in the Wild-Card round.


Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught five of his seven targets for 34 yards in a 26-24 win over the Ravens in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Valdes-Scantling tied for second on the team in targets in the win. The veteran wideout will see his role scaled back with DK Metcalf's two-game suspension now over. The Steelers will next host the Texans in the Wild-Card round.


Jaylen Warren carried the ball 14 times for 66 yards and caught all five of his targets for 33 yards in a 26-24 win over the Ravens in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Warren was productive in the win, although he was outproduced by Kenneth Gainwell. The two have formed a solid pair in the backfield for Pittsburgh this season. Warren will now prepare to face off against the Texans next week in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs.
