Josh Reynolds scores twice in Week 17.

Reynolds caught four passes for 55 yards and two touchdowns against the Niners. This was Reynolds’ second multi-touchdown game of the year, as he’s done a nice job of stepping up for Cooper Kupp this year. Reynolds’ regular season ends with 29 receptions for 402 yards and five touchdowns, and he’ll now look to do damage as an all-around weapon for LA in the postseason.

Nate Sudfeld throws first career touchdown in Week 17.

Sudfeld entered the game for Nick Foles, who left with a rib injury, and he a threw a 22-yard touchdown to Nelson Agholor on a drag route. It was Sudfeld’s first NFL touchdown, but Agholor accidentally gave the ball to a kid Eagles fan in the stands; Sudfeld and Agholor nicely asked if the kid would give the ball back while seemingly promising to give him a different ball or other goodies, and the fan did not cause any issues and gave Sudfeld his first touchdown ball in a cool and funny moment. Foles’ rib injury isn’t serious, so Sudfeld will back him up for Sunday’s Wild Card game against the Bears.

Brandin Cooks scores twice in Week 17.

Cooks caught five passes for 62 yards and two touchdowns against the Niners, brining his first regular season totals with the Rams to 80 receptions for 1,204 yards and five touchdowns along with ten carries for 68 yards and one touchdown. The 1,204 yards were a career-high for the fifth-year receiver, as he fit right into LA’s offense, as was expected when the team gave him a big contract after acquiring him from the Patriots. Cooks and the Rams get a bye week before playing in the Divisional Round.

Chris Conley held without a catch in Week 17 win.

He was targeted three times. Conley ends the regular season with 32 receptions for 334 yards and a career-high five touchdowns. He will rotate behind Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins (foot) in January if the latter returns.

Jaylen Samuels handles nine touches in Week 17 win.

Samuels rushed twice for two yards and caught seven passes for 40 yards. The Steelers basically featured James Conner as a runner and played Samuels in obvious passing situations, but it will be interesting to see what they do next year. At best, Samuels—who totaled 455 yards and three touchdowns this season—will probably have a role similar to Sunday.

Kelvin Benjamin catches one pass in Sunday’s win over the Raiders.

It went for nine yards. Benjamin’s regular season ends with 25 receptions for 380 yards and one touchdown in 15 games between Buffalo and Kansas City. He could have a role in the red zone next month, but the Chiefs are hoping Sammy Watkins (foot) can return.

James Conner handles 17 touches in return to the lineup.

Conner rushed 14 times for 64 yards and caught three-of-three targets for 30 yards. He unfortunately couldn’t reach 1,000 yards on the season due to the three game he missed, but Conner finishes a breakout campaign with 215 carries for 973 yards (4.5 YPC) and 12 touchdowns, also adding a 55/497/1 line as a receiver. The 23-year-old will be worthy of first-round consideration in all fantasy drafts next summer.
