Corey Coleman commits crucial drop in Week 17 loss.

Coleman caught one pass for 18 yards in a 28-24 loss, as his biggest impact came on the final drive of the game where he dropped a pass on fourth down to essentially end any chance of a victory and lock the Browns into a winless season. It’s probably something that will haunt Coleman for a while, but he has the talent to bounce back and be a real factor for the team in 2018 and beyond. He needs to stay healthy, but the 2016 first-round pick is an upside pick late in fantasy drafts next summer.

Ed Dickson caught two passes for 22 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Falcons.

Dickson actually out-gained Greg Olsen on not close to as many targets, and he finishes the regular season with a 30/437/1 line with Olsen out of the lineup for much of it. The 30-year-old will look to make some plays in the postseason, starting next Sunday in New Orleans.

Randall Cobb scores against the Lions.

Cobb caught four passes for 45 yards and a touchdown, with the score coming late in the game. Cobb also threw a ten-yard pass and added a four-yard carry in the Week 17 loss. The veteran receiver’s regular season ends with a 66/653/4 stat line, and it remains to be seen if he remains in Green Bay after the team signed Davante Adams to a big contract the other day. We would anticipate he does (perhaps on a pay cut), though, so he could have FLEX value with a full season of Aaron Rodgers in 2018.

Jalen Richard catches one pass in Week 17.

Richard gained six yards on his lone reception and received no carries against the Chargers. The second-year back outperformed his fellow teammate DeAndre Washington this year, carrying 56 times for 275 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown along with 27 receptions for 256 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. He should have a solid role with the team next season, but this backfield is very much up in the air heading into the offseason.

David Njoku caught two passes for 38 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Steelers.

The highlight was a 34-yard catch down the seam. Cleveland’s talented first-round pick finishes his rookie campaign with 32 receptions for 386 yards and four touchdowns. Njoku doesn’t turn 22 until next July, and his long-term upside is as high as anyone in the league. Depending on what the Browns do this offseason, he could be an upside pick at the end of fantasy drafts next summer. He’s an elite dynasty prospect.

Michael Crabtree doesn’t do much in season finale.

Crabtree had two receptions for 17 yards against the Chargers. The veteran receiver’s season, which included a one-game suspension for his fight with Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib, ends with 58 receptions for 618 yards and eight touchdowns, and his yardage total is his lowest since his five-game injury-plagued 2013 with the Niners. Crabtree has bounce-back potential for 2018, and he’ll be a good bet for around 8+ touchdowns again—something he’s done in each of his three seasons with the Raiders.

Jamaal Williams gets 25 touches in Week 17.

Williams again worked as a workhorse for the Packers, carrying 22 times for 82 rushing yards and adding three receptions for 31 receiving yards against the Lions. The rookie’s first NFL season ends with 153 carries for 556 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns along with 25 receptions for 262 reaching yards and two receiving touchdowns. He’s certainly carved out some type of role on the team next season, and there’s a chance he’s the lead guy in 2018. Green Bay’s backfield situation will be among the most important to watch heading into next year.
