T.J. Yeldon handles seven touches in 24-20 loss to New England.

Yeldon rushed five times for 25 yards and caught two passes for six yards. Unsurprisingly, Leonard Fournette handled the bulk of the work, but Yeldon ended the season as his top change-of-pace option.  The Alabama product should have a similar role in 2018 as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. He’s probably not worth drafting in fantasy leagues.

The Titans have officially signed running back Dion Lewis.

The contract was agreed to a couple nights ago, but the two sides had to wait until the start of the new league year to make it official. Lewis should form a great pair with the massive-yet-athletic Derrick Henry in the Titans backfield, and they should both get enough work to deliver solid fantasy value in 2018. Lewis will likely be a mid-late round selection in fantasy drafts this summer.

Tommy Bohanon catches one pass in playoff loss.

Bohanon caught a pass in the flat and took it for 20 yards. Jacksonville’s fullback isn’t a fantasy option for next season.

Tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz has retired from the NFL after four years.

Unfortunately, Fiedorowicz has dealt with concussion issues, which forced his retirement. Fiedorowicz was a third-round selection (65th overall) by the Texans and was their starter for much of his career, starting 42 of 51 games he played. For his career, Fiedorowicz caught 89 passes for 881 yards and six touchdowns, and he also had a postseason touchdown. It’s sad to see Fiedorowicz deal with concussion issues and have to retire like this, but we wish him full health and success for whatever he does next.

Dede Westbrook catches one pass in playoff loss to New England.

The rookie deep threat’s lone reception went for 29 yards. And abdomen injury forced Westbrook to miss the first nine games of the season for the Jags, but he could enter next season in a sizable role, especially if Mariqse Lee leaves in free agency. The former Heisman finalist could be a sleeper candidate in 2018 fantasy drafts.

Hue Jackson says Tyrod Taylor will be the starting quarterback for the Browns next season.

Jackson said of Taylor: “He’s going to be the starting quarterback. There is no competition.” One would think competition is always good, but the Browns appear committed to Taylor as the Week 1 starter even if they draft a quarterback early in next month’s draft. This could indicate Cleveland plans to draft a signal-caller with the intention of having him sit and learn before hitting the field. In an offense that includes Josh Gordon, Jarvis Landry, Carlos Hyde, David Njoku, and Corey Coleman, Taylor has solid QB1 upside in 2018 and should be a great streaming option at the very least.

Keelan Cole catches two passes in AFC Championship loss.

Cole gained 37 yards on his two receptions, including a spectacular catch by the sideline in tight coverage. The undrafted rookie had a really good first season in the NFL, and he’ll certainly have a role with the Jaguars next season. He’s not a recommended fantasy selection in 2017 drafts at the moment, but things could change if Marqise Lee and/or Allen Robinson leave in free agency.
