Josh Gordon goes over 100 yards in season finale.

Gordon caught four passes for 115 yards in the 28-24 loss to solidify Cleveland as the second 0-16 team in NFL history. In his first NFL action since 2014, the ultra-talented receiver started five games and caught 18 passes for 335 yards and one touchdown. That would have put him over 1,000 yards over a 16-game stretch, and there’s reason to be excited about Gordon’s fantasy prospects for the future if he can stay out of trouble. However, that’s a big if, as he can basically be banned for life at any moment, so consider Gordon a risk-reward option with elite WR1 upside in 2018 fantasy drafts.

Kaelin Clay catches one pass in loss to the Falcons.

It went for 15 yards. Clay appeared in nine games for Carolina in the regular season and caught five passes for 57 yards while chipping in two rushes for 27 yards. He’ll be a role player in the playoffs.

Michael Floyd doesn’t catch a pass in Week 17.

He was targeted on a deep ball, but it was thrown out of bounds. Floyd’s first regular season with Minnesota ends with ten receptions for 78 yards. He’ll mix in on offense during the postseason.

Amari Cooper catches long touchdown in Week 17.

Cooper caught an 87-yard touchdown from Derek Carr, and he had three receptions for 115 yards and one touchdown total in the game. Cooper had a surprising 48/680/7 line in 14 games this season. While this wasn’t what many anticipated for Cooper in his third NFL season, he did have some monster plays and games like this one, and he’ll be a major bounce-back candidate in 2018.

Duke Johnson scores in Week 17 loss.

Johnson rushed six times for 20 yards and a touchdown, also adding six receptions for 75 yards. He also lost a fumble. In zero 2016 starts, Johnson rushed just 82 times for 348 yards and four touchdowns, but he did do damage as a receiver with a 74/693/4 line. The Browns should attack the running back position this offseason with new blood (perhaps Saquon Barkley), but hopefully they would choose to promote Johnson rather than re-sign Isaiah Crowell if they decide to stay in-house. It’s too early to peg Johnson’s 2018 fantasy value, but he probably won’t be worth a pick earlier than the 13th or 14th round in standard leagues.

Kyle Rudolph catches one pass in Week 17.

Rudolph gained three yards on his lone reception, and he could still be dealing with his ankle injury that he suffered a few weeks ago. The Pro Bowl tight end had a 57/532/8 line this season, and now he’ll look to make some plays and put the ball in the end zone in the playoffs.

Laquon Treadwell catches three passes against Chicago.

Treadwell gained 16 yards on his three receptions. The second-year receiver’s regular season ends with 20 receptions for 200 yards. He has the ability to make some big plays for Minnesota, so we’ll see if he makes a big impact or makes some big plays in the postseason.
