Vance McDonald held to one reception in Week 17 win.

It went for five yards. Acquired in a trade before the season, McDonald caught 14 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown in 10 games for the Steelers. He will look to make an impact next month in a potential Super Bowl run for Pittsburgh.

Blake Bortles struggles against the Titans.

Bortles had two more turnovers in the Week 17 matchup, going 15/34 for 158 yards and two interceptions along with one carry for nine yards. Heading into the postseason, Bortles appears to be cold, but he’ll hope to turn it on quickly as the Jags attempt a playoff run. Bortles’ regular season ends with 3,687 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns, 13 interceptions, a 60.2% completion percentage, 57 carries, 322 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns.

Marcus Murphy handles nine touches in win over the Dolphins.

Murphy rushed seven times for 41 yards and caught two passes for seven yards. The former Saint hadn’t appeared in a game all season, but he was forced into action after LeSean McCoy left with an ankle injury. Murphy could see some work in the Wild Card Round next Sunday against the Jaguars, but he might not find much running room.

Drew Brees, Saints get upset by the Bucs in Week 17.

Brees was 22/30 for 245 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions, and fortunately, New Orleans was able to still win the NFC South after Carolina couldn’t beat Atlanta. Sean Payton’s offense relied more on the running game this year, but Brees still finished the regular season by completing an NFL-record 72% of his passes for 4,334 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. The Saints will look to beat the Panthers for the third time this season when Cam Newton comes to town next Sunday in the Wild Card Round.

Jesse James held in check as Steelers hold off the Browns.

James caught two passes for nine yards in the win. After beginning the season with a two-touchdown performance, the third-year tight end slowed down and finished with a line similar to last year’s 39/338/3 with 43 receptions for 372 yards and three scores in 16 games. James will split time with Vance McDonald in a potential playoff run.

Freddie Martino catches one pass in win over the Saints.

It went for nine yards. Martino finishes 2017 with five receptions for 96 yards in eight appearances. He probably won’t be a fantasy option next season.

Tyrod Taylor, Bills sneak into playoffs with win and help by Cincinnati.

Taylor was 19/27 for 204 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions in the 22-16 win, and moments later, Buffalo made the playoffs for the first time in 17 years when the Bengals shocked the Ravens in Baltimore. Tyrod also rushed six times for 35 yards in the win over Miami, and he will look to upset the Jaguars next Sunday in Jacksonville. The 28-year-old finished the regular season by completing 62.6% of his passes for 2,799 yards, 14 touchdowns, and just four interceptions in 14 starts. He also rushed 84 times for 427 yards and four more scores. Taylor might need a heroic performance to win in the Wild Card Round.
