Delanie Walker catches three passes in Week 17.

The Titans couldn’t get much going through the air against the Jags, and Walker was no exception. The veteran tight end had three receptions for 19 yards in the win, bringing his season line to 74/807/3. He’ll now be back in the playoffs with the Titans, starting next week against Kansas City.

George Kittle has first career 100-yard game in win over the Rams.

Kittle caught four passes for 100 yards in the season finale, giving the rookie 43 receptions for 515 yards and two touchdowns this year. The Iowa product came on strong with Jimmy Garoppolo, and he has some upside with the former Patriot throwing him the ball in 2018. Kittle will be worth a look at the end of fantasy drafts next summer.

Taywan Taylor gets one touch in Week 17.

Taylor had a five-yard carry on an end-around play against the Jaguars. The rookie receiver will look to make some big plays in the postseason now.

Derrick Henry gets 29 touches in Week 17.

With DeMarco Murray (knee) out, Henry handled a heavy workload in a must-win game for the Titans, carrying 28 times for 51 yards and catching one pass for 66 yards and a touchdown. The score came on a screen pass that Henry received great blocking on and took to the end zone using his great speed, but the Jags made an effort to stop the running game of the Titans. Henry’s second NFL regular season ends with 176 carries for 744 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns along with 11 receptions for 136 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. He might be asked to carry the load in the playoffs if DeMarco Murray can’t get healthy in time.

Matt Breida totals over 100 yards in Week 17 win.

Breida rushed 12 times for 72 yards and caught a 32-yard pass in the 34-13 victory. The undrafted rookie out of Georgia Southern finishes the season with 105 attempts for 465 yards (4.4 yards per carry) and two touchdowns, also adding a 21/180/1 receiving line. Breida will probably see competition added in the offseason, but there’s a good chance he enters 2018 as the #2 back in Kyle Shanahan’s offense.

Marcus Mariota leads Titans to the playoffs with Week 17 win.

Mariota didn’t light up the box score against the Jaguars, but he played a very good game and came up clutch at the end by mainly using his legs to make plays—including a play where he stiff-armed Jaguars safety Barry Church to basically seal the game and a playoff berth for the Titans. Overall, Mariota was 12/21 for 134 yards and one touchdown along with ten carries for 60 rushing yards. The third-year quarterback threw for 3,232 yards with 13 passing touchdowns and 15 interceptions along with 60 rushing attempts for 312 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns in what was a disappointing fantasy regular season, but he’s dealt with injuries all season. Now appearing to be getting a bit healthier down the stretch, Mariota makes the Titans a scary team in the postseason.

Carlos Hyde finishes strong with two-score performance in Week 17 win.

Hyde rushed 15 times for 90 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, also adding two receptions for 10 yards. In his first full season in Kyle Shanahan’s offense, Hyde was healthy for all 16 games, but had a career-low 3.9 yards per carry, rushing for 940 yards and eight touchdowns on 240 attempts. He also caught 59 passes for 350 yards. Heading into unrestricted free agency, Hyde could re-sign with the Niners or go to another team that needs a starting running back. Wherever he ends up, the 27-year-old will probably be an RB2 option.
