Jake Kumerow catches three passes for 19 yards in Week 17.

Kumerow’s season ends with eight receptions for 103 yards and a touchdown in five games, as he spent the first 13 weeks of the year on injured reserve. Aaron Rodgers is a fan of Kumerow, which is a major bonus for him moving forward, but he’s not a must-own in dynasty leagues heading into 2019.

Michael Crabtree caught two passes for 20 yards in Sunday’s win.

Crabtree brought in both of his targets, but he continues to have a low-volume role since Lamar Jackson replaced Joe Flacco as the starter. In his first regular season with Baltimore, Crabtree caught 54 passes for 607 yards and three touchdowns. We’ll see if his postseason experience comes into play next month for a young Ravens offense.

Deontay Burnett caught five passes for 73 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Patriots.

Burnett brought in all five of his looks to lead the team in receiving. The rookie only appeared in five games this season, catching ten passes for 143 yards, but we like his talent for 2019 and beyond. That said, Burnett is unfortunately blocked by Quincy Enunwa in the slot, so he might need to leave USC teammate Sam Darnold to make a fantasy impact next season.

Kenneth Dixon goes over 100 yards in win over the Browns.

Dixon rushed 12 times for 117 yards, also adding a two-yard reception. The 24-year-old ended up splitting the carries evenly with Gus Edwards (12 carries for 76 yards), and the two will likely keep working in tandem for the playoffs. As for the regular season, Dixon rushed 60 times for 333 yards (5.6 YPC) and two touchdowns in six appearances, also chipping in six receptions for 51 yards. Baltimore takes on the Chargers next Sunday.

Jimmy Graham catches three passes in Week 17.

Graham gained 21 yards on his three receptions against the Lions. The veteran tight end’s first season in Green Bay ends with 55 receptions for 636 yards and two touchdowns, as the big disappointment came down in the red zone, where he and Aaron Rodgers failed to convert many scoring opportunities. Graham remains under contract with the Packers for 2019, but there’s a chance the team decides to move on.

Evan Engram scores against the Cowboys.

Engram caught five passes for 81 yards and a touchdown in the Giants’ Week 17 loss, ending his season with lines of 3/77/0, 8/75/0, 6/87/0, and 5/81/1 in the final four weeks of the season, which could be a momentum-builder toward 2019. The second-year tight end’s regular season ends with 45 receptions for 577 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games, but he battled injuries and some early-to-mid-season inconsistency in his first season in Pat Shurmur’s offense. Engram is an obvious bounce-back candidate with strong TE1 potential next season.

Trenton Cannon rushed twice for 16 yards in Sunday’s loss to New England.

He didn’t catch his only target. Cannon’s rookie campaign finishes with 38 carries for 113 yards (3.0 YPC) and 17 receptions for 144 yards. Already turning 25 in July, Cannon won’t be assured of a roster spot under a new coaching staff.
