Marlon Mack goes over 100 yards with a touchdown in Colts’ Week 17 win.

Mack carried 25 times for 119 yards and a touchdown along with three receptions for -1 yard and a fumble lost in the de facto playoff game against the Titans. Mack’s regular season ends with 195 carries for 908 yards and nine touchdowns along with 17 receptions for 103 yards and a touchdown in 12 games. When Mack was given a heavy workload during the year, he was about as good as anyone and put up high-end RB1 numbers—in the games he had 19+ carries, he had lines of 19/126/1, 25/132/2, 27/139/2, and 25/119/1. Mack was one of the best mid-late round selections this year, and he was a great waiver-wire pickup for those that got him after he was on the wire because of early-season injury issues. Frank Reich and the Colts know running the ball is important, so Mack should get a heavy workload in the postseason.

Zach Ertz catches three passes against the Redskins.

Ertz gained 15 yards on his three receptions in the Eagles’ Week 17 win. The 28-year-old’s stellar regular season ends with 116 receptions (a record for tight ends) for 1,163 yards and eight touchdowns. While this final week was disappointing and Ertz hasn’t been quite as good without Carson Wentz under-center, fantasy owners must be happy with his output in 2018. Ertz has been about as steady and reliable as it gets, and he’ll likely continue as such in the postseason.

Blaine Gabbert, Titans fall to the Colts in season finale, 33-17.

Drawing the start for Marcus Mariota, Gabbert was 18/29 for 165 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. The former first-round pick was able to keep his guys in the game with a touchdown pass to Luke Stocker that made it 24-17, but unfortunately, he tossed a couple interceptions in the fourth quarter that Tennessee couldn’t come back from. The 29-year-old should be back to backup Mariota in 2019.

Javon Wims caught four passes for 32 yards in Sunday’s win over the Vikings.

Wims brought in all of his targets for the first grabs of his career. The rookie is a promising possession receiver that played in big games at Georgia, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see him stay involved next week against the Eagles, especially with the rest of the receiving corps seemingly banged up.

Andrew Luck throws three touchdowns as the Colts claim last playoff spot.

Luck was 24/35 for 285 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception along with seven carries for 17 yards against the Titans. The interception was a pick-six on a throw where he appeared he tried to get the ball up and over a defender but just didn’t. Other than the turnover, Luck was excellent, and he hit Eric Ebron, Dontrelle Inman, and Ryan Hewitt for his three scores. Luck’s regular season ends with 4,593 yards, 39 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions with a completion percentage of 67.3% along with 46 carries for 148 yards. The 39 touchdowns were second only to Patrick Mahomes, and Luck really benefited from the offensive line doing an exceptional job of keeping him upright. Now Luck will be one of the NFL’s most dangerous players in the postseason, starting this Saturday afternoon against the division rival Texans.

Trey Burton caught five passes for 33 yards in Sunday’s win over the Vikings.

Burton has been more of a factor in recent weeks, and his regular season ends with 54 receptions for 569 yards and six touchdowns—all career-highs. Burton will take on his former team next week when the Eagles come to town for what should be a great matchup.

Jesse James targeted once in win over Cincinnati.

It was an incompletion, and James’ season ends with 30 receptions for 423 yards and two touchdowns. An unrestricted free agent, James could be back in Pittsburgh or probably find a similar role somewhere else.
