Stefon Diggs, Vikings see their season end with blowout loss to the Eagles.

Diggs caught eight passes for 70 yards in the 38-7 defeat. Things couldn’t have gone worse following last week’s storybook finish, as the passing attack just couldn’t get going in Philly. Diggs’ fantasy value in 2018 will be dependent on the quarterback situation with all three of Minnesota’s options set to hit free agency, but Sam Bradford would be the best signal-caller for him and Adam Thielen to put up big numbers. No matter who is under center, Diggs should be a strong WR2.

The Bills re-signed running back Taiwan Jones.

The Jones signing comes along with the signing of fellow running back Travaris Cadet. Jones is coming off a broken arm and should be fine for offseason training. Last season, he didn’t get much work on offense when he joined the Bills, but he is a key special teams player. Buffalo seems likely to keep four running backs on the final roster in 2018.

Nelson Agholor catches three passes as Eagles advance to the Super Bowl.

Agholor caught three of four targets for 59 yards versus the Vikings, and he also had one carry that gained no yards. The third-year receiver had a 42-yard reception on a great scramble play by quarterback Nick Foles, who hit Agholor in stride when he took off down the sideline. Agholor will look to make some dynamic plays in Super Bowl LII versus New England. He’ll likely be matched up with 2015 draft class mate Eric Rowe, who is now in New England playing corner for the Patriots, for much of the game.

The Lions re-signed running back Zach Zenner.

The undrafted free agent from 2015 will return for his fourth season with the Lions, and perhaps he’ll be able to carve out a big role with the new coaching staff. He’s someone to keep an eye on during the preseason if Detroit doesn’t add much more to the backfield this offseason.

Corey Clement gets three touches in Eagles’ NFC title game win.

Clement carried two times for 20 yards and added one reception for eight yards in the blow out win versus the Vikings. The undrafted rookie’s key play was on his reception when he got out of Anthony Barr’s tackle attempt and gained yardage for a first down. He’ll now be playing in the Super Bowl in his first NFL season, which is quite the thrill for the guy that grew up close to Philadelphia in Glassboro, NJ.

The Bears signed quarterback Tylor Bray, according to Peter Schrager.

Bray is a big 6’6″ quarterback out of Tennessee that’s entering his sixth season in the NFL. He has been with the Chiefs, so Bears head coach Matt Nagy knows Bray from his time there. This signing is yet another designed to help second-year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, as Bray should help him get familiar with Nagy’s offense. If Bray doesn’t get a chance to compete for the backup job behind  Trubisky, he will look to stick around as the third quarterback behind Trubisky and Chase Daniel.

Jarius Wright caught three passes for 51 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Eagles.

He also rushed once for four yards. Wright probably saw the field more than Minnesota would have liked, but they were forced into passing situations down big in the 38-7 loss to end their season. Splitting time with Laquon Treadwell as the team’s third receiver, Wright should have a similar role in 2018 if Treadwell doesn’t make a big leap.
