Game Recaps


Kenneth Gainwell carried the ball five times for 10 yards and a touchdown while catching eight of his nine targets for 64 yards in a 26-24 win over the Ravens in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Gainwell was the Steelers' leading receiver in the key win, which gave Pittsburgh the AFC North crown and a spot in the playoffs. Gainwell will look to keep it going next week when the Steelers host the Texans in the Wild-Card round.


Aaron Rodgers completed 31 of his 47 passes for 294 yards and one touchdown while adding a 20-yard rush in a 26-24 win over the Ravens in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Rodgers helped lead the Steelers to the AFC North crown with the win. His lone touchdown pass went to Calvin Austin III on a 26-yard catch in the fourth quarter on what wound up being the game-winner. Rodgers wraps his 2025 regular season with 3,322 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He will now prepare to host the Texans in next week's Wild-Card round of the playoffs.


The Steelers D/ST allowed 24 points while notching three sacks and forcing one turnover in a 26-24 win over the Ravens in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: The Steelers played just well enough to knock off the Ravens. They were boosted by the return of T.J. Watt from injury. Pittsburgh will now host the Texans in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs while the Ravens will go home.


The Ravens D/ST allowed 26 points while notching two sacks in a 26-24 loss to the Steelers in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Baltimore allowed the Steelers to gain 390 yards of total offense in the loss, which caused the Ravens to miss the playoffs. The Ravens struggled on defense in 2025 and will look to address that unit this offseason.


Tyler Loop made one of his two field goals and all three of his extra points in a 26-24 loss to the Steelers in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Loop hit a 40-yard field goal but he missed a potential game-winning 44-yard attempt with two seconds left in the fourth quarter. It was a costly miss as the Ravens' loss gave the Steelers the AFC North title and caused Baltimore to miss the playoffs. Overall, it was a strong rookie season for Loop, who hit 30 of his 34 attempts and missed just two of his 46 extra points.


Isaiah Likely caught both of his targets for 32 yards in a 26-24 loss to the Steelers in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Likely was the Ravens' third-leading receiver in the costly loss which caused Baltimore to miss the playoffs. The veteran tight end finishes 2025 with 27 catches for 307 yards and one touchdown in 14 games. An unrestricted free agent this offseason, Likely's production could explode if he lands with a team that makes him their starter. His landing spot will be an interesting story to monitor this offseason.


Mark Andrews caught two of his three targets for 14 yards in a 26-24 loss to the Steelers in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Andrews was quiet as the Ravens lost the AFC North and will miss the playoffs. The veteran tight end wraps up his 2025 season with 48 catches for 422 yards and five touchdowns while appearing in all 17 of the Ravens' games. Andrews' days as an elite tight end appear to be over as the team did not prioritize getting him the ball in 2025.


Devontez Walker caught both of his targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in a 26-24 loss to the Steelers in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Walker kicked off the scoring in the game with a 38-yard touchdown reception from Lamar Jackson. The second-year receiver was used sparingly by the Ravens this past season but he showed explosive playmaking, as he scored three touchdowns on just six catches in 2025. With DeAndre Hopkins an unrestricted free agent, Walker will hope to vie for the No. 2 receiver role across from Zay Flowers in 2026.


Zay Flowers caught four of his six targets for 138 yards and two touchdowns in a 26-24 loss to the Steelers in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Flowers turned in a dominant performance in the Ravens' season finale. He hauled in touchdowns of 50 and 64 yards in the contest but it wasn't enough as the Ravens missed the playoffs. Flowers finishes his 2025 season with 86 catches for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns while appearing in all 17 of the Ravens' games. Both the catches and receiving yards go down as career highs for Flowers, while his five touchdowns tie a career high set in his rookie season. He will be a solid WR2 for fantasy in 2026.


Keaton Mitchell gained two yards on two carries in a 26-24 loss to the Steelers in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Mitchell was barely used as Derrick Henry dominated the work for the Ravens. The veteran running back finishes his 2025 season with 341 rushing yards and one touchdown while adding nine catches for 63 yards. The explosive runner will be a restricted free agent this offseason.


Derrick Henry carried the ball 20 times for 126 yards in a 26-24 loss to the Steelers in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Henry was unable to corral his lone target in the contest. With the loss, the Ravens will miss the playoffs in a disappointing ending to the season. Henry finishes the year with 1,595 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns while appearing in all 17 games. He will remain a solid RB1 for fantasy purposes heading into the 2026 season.


Lamar Jackson completed 11 of his 18 passes for 238 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception while adding nine yards on four carries in a 26-24 loss to the Steelers in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Jackson and the Ravens will miss the playoffs after losing to Pittsburgh in Sunday night's win or go home matchup for the AFC North crown. Jackson did what he could, finding Zay Flowers for two touchdowns and Devontez Walker for a third. Jackson did not post his typical dominant fantasy season in 2025 after injuring his hamstring mid-season. He will look to come back fully healthy in 2026.


The Texans D/ST allowed 30 points on 354 total yards with one interception, one sack and fumble recoveries on Sunday against the Colts.

Fantasy Impact: Houston sat its starters in the second half. They remain one of the top defenses in the NFL. They'll take on Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers in the Wild Card round.


Ka'imi Fairbairn connected on 6-of-6 field goals in Week 18 against the Colts.

Fantasy Impact: Fairbairn finishes the season connecting on 44-of-48 field goals. He should continue to be needed heading into the playoffs.


Dalton Schultz caught 4-of-4 targets for 73 yards in the Texans 38-30 win over the Colts.

Fantasy Impact: Schultz caught all four passes in the first half. He should continue to play a big role heading into the playoffs.


Jaylin Noel caught his lone target for 13 yards in the Texans 38-30 win over the Colts.

Fantasy Impact: Noel played on just 11 snaps. He should continue to play a bigger role on special teams.


Xavier Hutchinson caught 5-of-9 targets for 84 yards in the Texans 38-30 win over the Colts.

Fantasy Impact: Hutchinson led the Texans in receiving on the day with the starters sitting in the second half. He is unlikely to make a big impact in the playoffs.


Jayden Higgins caught 2-of-5 targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in the Texans 38-30 win over the Colts.

Fantasy Impact: Higgins hauled in a touchdown in the first half from C.J. Stroud before the starters sat for the rest of the game. The rookie will look to make an impact heading into the playoffs.


British Brooks ran for 63 yards on 13 carries in the Texans 38-30 win over the Colts.

Fantasy Impact: Brooks saw some more touches in the second half with the starters pulled at halftime for Houston. He is unlikely to play much of a role in the postseason.


Jawhar Jordan ran for three yards on five carries in the Texans 38-30 win over the Colts.

Fantasy Impact: Jordan saw some carries with the Texans starters pulled at halftime. He could see a depth role heading into the postseason.
