Melvin Gordon leaves game with apparent knee injury.

Gordon was twisted awkwardly and is limping around on the sideline. He doesn’t appear to be getting much attention from trainer’s on the sideline yet, so hopefully he’s OK. Gordon’s healthy is obviously huge for the success of the Chargers during the postseason, so expect them to be cautious with him.

Zach Line rushed three times for 19 yards in Sunday’s loss to Carolina.

Line saw more work than usual with some starters resting, but he will mostly be doing the blocking in January for New Orleans.

Deshaun Watson rushes for one touchdown in Week 17.

Watson was 25/35 for 234 yards along with 13 carries for 66 yards and a touchdown against the Jaguars. Watson’s regular season ends with 4,165 passing yards, 26 passing touchdowns, nine interceptions along with 99 carries for 551 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns. Overall, Watson wasn’t the elite fantasy force he was as a rookie, but it was an excellent season coming off a torn ACL, and he was the QB4 on the year. Aside form a mid-season lull against tough defenses from Weeks 6-11, Watson put up some big fantasy point totals including three rushing touchdowns in the final two games of the season. Those that had Watson in championship matchups might have been carried to titles by him, as he had fantasy point totals of 36.5 and 22.0 the last two weeks of the season. Watson next faces the Colts in the Wild Card Round this Saturday afternoon, and it’ll be exciting to see the clutch quarterback in his first playoff action.

Darius Jackson gets six carries in Week 17.

Jackson gained 16 yards on his six rushing attempts against the Giants. These were the first rushing attempts of Jackson’s career, and he’s unlikely to get much time in the postseason with Ezekiel Elliott in the lineup.

T.Y. Hilton (ankle) is officially active against the Titans.

He was again listed as questionable entering the weekend, but obviously this was fully expected in a de facto playoff game for the Colts. You can safely keep Hilton in fantasy championship lineups against a team he torched for a 9/155/2 line a few weeks ago.

Mark Ingram handles seven touches in Week 17 loss.

Ingram rushed five times for 28 yards and caught two passes for 15 yards. It was slightly surprising that the former Heisman winner played at all, but it was a quick day for him as New Orleans rests up for January. Ingram’s regular season—which started with a four-game suspension—ends with 138 carries for 645 yards (4.7 YPC) and six touchdowns; he also added a 21/170/1 receiving line.

Travaris Cadet handles 12 touches in Week 17 win.

Cadet rushed 11 times for 17 yards and caught a five-yard pass. It was the first appearance of the season for the veteran, so it must have felt good for him to get a win against his former team. Cadet turns 30 in February.
