Week 17 is here, and with it, the conclusion of the 2015 fantasy regular season. It's been a wild ride, and we're glad you joined us for it. Through countle s injuries and bizarre fantasy performances (remember when scored two touchdowns in Week 1?), we've wrapped up another season. Hopefully, win or lose, you remembered what fantasy is all about: having fun. If at the end of the day you can't laugh with your friends and coworkers about that time you benched for and lost in the championship round, well, then you might need a new hobby. Anyway, for those still playing fantasy in Week 17, we break down the fantasy implications of every game below.Detroit Lions at Chicago BearsTop performers: , QB: 298 yards, 3 TDs, 10 rush yards, fantasy points , WR: 10 rec, 137 yards, TD, 19.7 fantasy points , QB: 245 yards, 2 TD, 3 INTs, 11 rush yards, 11.86 fantasy points , RB: 76 rush yards, 34 rec yards, TD, 17 fantasy pointsThis could have been the last game for and with their respective franchises, and if it was, they both put on one hell of a show. Johnson was fed targets, seeing 15 on the day, and he topped off a stellar performance with a diving 36-yard touchdown. How the handle his contract next year (his cap hit is $24 million) will be a storyline to watch. This offense overall is so much better with Jim Bob Cooter calling the shots. While Joe Lombardi and Jim Caldwell were brought in to "fix" , it's been Cooter, who had the biggest impact on the young signal-caller. It'll be interesting to see what happens with this situation in the offseason as well. had a few unlucky bounces on two of his interceptions, but this offense was handicapped without it's top two targets. Still, the likes of and did their best, but it wasn't enough against the today. The definitely seemed intent to feed (and potentially showcase) , as he dominated the backfield touches over (20 to five). He looked great true, show-casing his dual threat skills, averaging 4.5 yards per rush and catching a touchdown pa s. Where he lands in the offseason (he's an impending free agent) will be worth watching for fantasy owners.New England Patriots at Miami DolphinsTop performers: , QB: 134 yards, -1 rush yards, 5.26 fantasy points , RB: 55 total yards yards, rush TD, 11.5 fantasy points , QB: 350 yards, 2 TDs, 17 rush yards, 23.7 fantasy points , RB: 60 rush yards, 3 rec yards, 6.3 fantasy points , WR: 6 rec, 72 yards, 7.2 fantasy points , WR: 5 rec, 106 rec yards, TD, 16.6 fantasy pointsWith the pseudo Malcolm Jenkins Jersey -resting some starters (they only played Amendola in obvious pa sing downs and on third downs), this offense was extremely hamstrung from the get go. and had the longest receptions of the day, and Jackson added a rushing touchdown for good measure. He looked OK behind the offensive line, but will have no fantasy value in 2016. This is just a nice story to end his career. played most of the game, but was all but invisible with the doing everything to keep him out of the game. posted his worst game of the season while seeing 20 or more touches, notching just 63 total yards on the day. played pretty well for the , mostly operating under the "just throw it to your good players" philosophy. is primed for a big year in 2016, ending this season on a string of very impre sive games. The rookie was always a size-speed freak, but he's showing more polish now. He and will form one of the league's more underrated 1-2 combos in 2016. Now, we just need Tannehill to start playing more consistently.New Orleans Saints at Atlanta FalconsTop performers: , QB: 323 pa s yards, TD, 16.42 fantasy points , RB: 66 rush yards, TD, 41 rec yards, 16.7 fantasy points , TE: 6 rec, 59 yards, TD 4.7 fantasy points , QB: 125 yards, 2 TD, INT, 54 rush yards, 19.36 fantasy points , RB: 81 rush yards, 18 rec yards, TD, fmbl, 13.9 fantasy points , WR: 9 rec, 149 rec yards, 14.9 fantasy points and the ended the season on a high-note, walking into the Georgia Dome and stealing a last-minute win from the . It was the old guys getting it done for the offense, with running like it was 2009, and making highlight-reel catches. This was a nice story for Hightower, but this backfield should revert back to being owned by next season. and disappointed in the final frame, with Snead falling just short of 1,000 yards on the season. He'll be a name to circle next season. For the , this game went as all of theirs did this season. and were the main forces in the offense, accounting for nearly 60 percent of the team's total yards on Sunday, while played well, but still made some mind-numbing mistakes. His interception that set the up for a game-winning field goal was particularly egregious. Freeman and Jones should have locked-in roles next season, but this offense needs another playmaker to emerge or come to town via the draft/free agency. Ryan struggled too much without a No. 2 option in the pa sing attack.Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati BengalsTop performers: , QB: 292 pa s yards, TD, 2 INT, 4 rush yards, 12.08 fantasy points , RB: 18 yards, TD, 7.80 fantasy points , WR: 5 rec, 76 yards, 7.60 fantay points , RB: 115 yards, TD, 17.50 fantasy points , QB: 160 pa s yards, 2 TD, 2 rush yards, 14.60 fantasy points , TE: 51 yards, TD, 11.10 fantasy points didn't do anything spectacular, but he wasn't terrible either. It was nice to see the get the ball to repeatedly today. It wasn't a great game in standard leagues, but for those in PPR formats he posted a nice fantasy total. There wasn't much to speak of in the way of a running game, but that was to be expected against a tough front with something to play for. Kyle Juszcyzk has been a red zone target all season and scored a touchdown today. Not that it's going to change his draft value at all in 2016.Where has this been all season, ? The running back had his first run of longer than 20 yards Sunday when he broke off a 38-yard scoring scamper. This is what many of us expected when we spent a second round pick on him. For the second straight week, was good but not great. But we applaud him for targeting his two best weapons -- and -- in the red zone. Hooray, Mr. McCarron. Hooray.Tenne see Titans at Indianapolis ColtsTop performers: , RB: 73 yards, TD, 13.30 fantasy points , TE: 130 yards, 13.00 fantasy points , WR: 21 yards, TE, 8.10 fantasy points , TE: 88 yards, TD, 14.80 fantasy points , WR: 46 yards, TD, 10.60 fantay points , QB: 149 pa s yards, TD, INT, 24 rush yards, 10.36 fantay points and played quarterback for the today. That's pretty much all you need to know about that. At least they had the decency to throw the ball to a ton. Oh Brian Dawkins Jersey and had a touchdown, so that was cool. After waiting all year for to do something, he muscled up for 73 yards and his first career touchdown. What does this mean for the running game next season? Nobody knows.Take the first sentence from the previous paragraph and replace the names with and . So there's that. The didn't bother throwing touchdowns to fantasy relevant players, instead deciding to get and involved. Thanks for nothing. At least had a fairly respectable ending to his season with 76 yards on 19 carries. Let's all hope that returns with a vengeance next season so we can wash this bad taste out of our mouths.Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland BrownsTop performers: , QB: 349 yards, 3 TDs, 2 INTs, 2-pt conv, 23.76 fantasy points , WR: 187 rec yards, TD, fumble lost, 22.7 fantasy points , TE: 18 rec yards, TD, 7.8 fantasy points , WR: 57 yards, TD, 11.7 fantasy points , QB: 240 yards, 2 INTs, 22 rush yards, fumble lost, 5.8 fantasy points , RB: 53 yards, 5.3 fantasy points , WR: 53 yards, 5.3 fantasy points , TE: 66 yards, 6.6 fantasy pointsThe ' offense enjoyed a much-needed bounce back following a bad game in Week 16. and responded in a big way, as the duo connected for 187 yards and a score against the . and also caught touchdown pa ses from , who finished with 349 pa s yards. Unfortunately, injured his right ankle in the first half, was carted to the locker room and never returned to the game. Pittsburgh did mi s him as they totaled just 30 rushing yards as a team, so hopefully he can return for a playoff run. For the , failed to throw a touchdown pa s, which wasn't much of a surprise. There isn't much to say about the from a fantasy standpoint. led the team with 13 targets and eight receptions for 66 yards. averaged an uninspiring 3.5 yards per carry with 53 yards on 15 attempts. That's basically the ' season in a nutshell.Washington at Dallas CowboysTop performers: , QB: 176 pa s yards, 3 TDs, 19.04 fantasy points , RB: 100 rush yards, 10.0 fantasy points , WR: 49 rec yards, TD, 10.9 fantasy points , WR: 109 rec yards, TD, 16.9 fantasy points , WR: 71 rec yards, TD, 13.1 fantasy points , QB: 435 pa s yards, 3 TDs, 2 INTs, fumble lost, 23.4 fantasy points , WR: 53 rec yards, 2 TDs, 17.3 fantasy points , WR: 173 yards, 17.3 fantasy points , TE: 58 rec yards, TD, 11.8 fantasy points , RB: 92 rush yards, 53 rec yards, fumble lost, 12.5 fantasy pointsThe most exciting part of this game was the first quarter when was in the game. In his limited playing time (just over Austin Watkins Jr. Jersey one quarter) he managed to throw THREE touchdown pa ses. He'll be in the QB1 conversation heading into the offseason as we've seen the decline of guys like and this year. Washington left in for the length of this game and he recorded 100 rushing yards. We expect a shakeup in this backfield during the offseason, which will be interesting to watch heading into fantasy draft season next summer. For Dallas, started under center and by the time he had two completions, he also had committed two turnovers. That's not good. He turned things around though, and finished with a shocking 435 pa s yards and three touchdowns when all was said and done. We'll go ahead and call that a fluke. We'll also call eight receptions for 173 yards a fluke for . This was pretty much bad players making each other look good. got all of the work out of the backfield and finished with over 100 yards from scrimmage but lost a fumble (out of the back of the end zone for a safety) and failed to score. We'll be curious to see if he stays in Dallas and projects as the starter heading into next season, in which case he'd be in the RB1 discu sion considering the ridiculous volume he'd be in line for. Philadelphia Eagles at New York GiantsTop performers: , QB: 320 pa s yards, 2 TD, INT, -2 rush yards, 18.6 fantasy points , RB: 69 rush yards, TD, fumble lost, 10.9 fantasy points , RB: 24 rush yards, 20 rec yards, TD, 10.4 fantasy points , WR: 54 rec yards, 2 TDs, 17.4 fantasy points , TE: 152 rec yards, 15.2 fantasy points , QB: 302 pa s yards, 2 TDs, INT, 18.08 fantasy points , WR: 79 rec yards, TD, 13.9 fantasy points , RB: 170 rush yards, TD, 6 rec yards, 23.6 fantasy points Jr., WR: 54 rec yards, 5.4 fantasy points , TE: 67 rec yards, TD, 12.7 fantasy pointsHappy Birthday, ... you lose. For the , this game was all about who toted the rock 27 times for 170 yards and a score, finishing as the day's leading fantasy running back at the conclusion of the early games. We're wondering why it took New York this long to figure its backfield out. Jr. had a disappointing outing in his return to the field, but and picked up some of his slack.The offense looked like we thought it would at the start of the season: Two different running backs scored, got into the end zone twice and tight end had a career high 152 yards. came out of the gate hot with a 54-yard touchdown run on the first drive but sputtered out after that. Matthews has been on quite a roll to end the season, this game marking three straight with at least one score. Unfortunately, his horrible first half had many fantasy owners giving up on him but if you stuck it out or rolled with him in DFS on Sunday, you've likely got a smile on your face. Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston TexansTop performers: , QB: 239 pa sing yards, 2 INTs, 3.56 fantasy points , RB: 10 touches, 27 total yards, 2.70 fantasy points , WR: 5 rec, 108 yards, 10.80 fantasy points , QB: 249 yards, TD, INT, 11.96 fantasy points , RB: 22 touches, 104 yards, 10.40 fantasy points , RB: 8 touches, 54 total yards, 2 TDs, 17.40 fantasy points , WR: 7 rec, 89 yards, 8.90 fantasy points Jalen Strong, WR: 6 rec, 56 yards, 5.60 fantasy pointsThe had no motivation in this game, and it showed. The offensive line got dominated by and company, and were unable to help establish a ground game. Quite frankly, this team needs to be closer to the foundation of their offense next season. Giving him the ball might help. and both proved incapable of holding up that end of the bargain. showed on Sunday why his status as a fantasy quarterback is still greater than his real world proficiency. There was no second half stat padding in this one. added 108 yards to finish with 1,400 for the season, putting an exclamation on the top breakout campaign of 2015.The clinched the AFC South and got big games out of two running backs. The need to do some work in their backfield, but both and look like role players for the team going forward. There wasn't much explosion from the pa sing game, but Jalen Strong did get in on the action after left with an injury. He's a name to monitor this offseason if Houston upgrades their quarterback situation.New York Jets at Buffalo BillsTop performers: , QB: 181 pa sing yards, 2 TDs, 3 INTs, 10.44 fantasy points , RB: 6 carries, 81 yards, 8.1 fantasy points , WR: 8 rec, 128 yards, TD, 18 Kyle Philips Jersey .60 fantasy points , WR: 5 rec, 50 yards, TD, 11.0 fantasy points , QB: 233 total yards, TD, 18.38 fantasy points , RB: 9 touches, 27 total yards, TD, 8.70 fantasy points , WR: 11 rec, 136 yards, 13.60 fantasy pointsThe gave away their chance to walk into the playoffs by losing to Rex Ryan and the . played his worst game in over a month and a half, throwing three interceptions with each more costly than the last. and managed to come through with a spectacular and solid game, respectively. The most curious occurrence in this game came in the backfield. With out, drew the start. While he garnered 11 touches, Ridley managed just 29 total yards. popped off a 58-yard run on his first carry of the day. We have no idea what to make of that one, but good thing it doesn't matter because the season is over.The pulled off a surprising win, and it was mostly on the back of the to connection. Watkins caught 74.7 percent of Taylor's pa sing yards. He could be an even bigger fantasy a set next season if Taylor improves and Watkins stays healthy himself. The backfield got cloudy after went down with an injury. Williams has talent, but getting hurt was a theme of this season. finally fell back to Earth, and managed a ghastly 1.17 yards per carry. Oakland Raiders at Kansas City ChiefsTop performers: , QB: 194 pa s yards, TD, INT, 12 rush yards, 10.96 fantasy points , WR: 34 yards, TD, 9.40 fantasy points , RB: 56 yards, 5.60 fantasy points , QB: 156 pa s yards, 2 TD, 2 INT, 61 rush yards, 16.34 fantasy points , RB: 76 yards, TD, 13.60 fantasy points , WR: 72 yards, TD, 13.20 fantasy pointsAs expected, the offense provided a heapin' helpin' of nothing for fantasy enthusiasts. struggled to move the football, was a ghost and wasn't much better. Were it not for 's touchdown catch, there might not be anything to write about. But considering 31 of Crabtree's 34 receiving yards came on that one play, there really wasn't anything to write about anyway. did something out of the ordinary -- the threw two interceptions. That took what could have been a 20-point fantasy day and made it a typical "meh" performance. Never let it be said that Smith was something that he's not. Did you have ? Sorry about that. stole all of your joy with 76 yards and a touchdown. But with 72 scrimmage yards and a touchdown? We can get down with that.San Diego Chargers at Denver BroncosTop performers: , QB: 228 pa s yards, 2 TDs, INT, 5 rush yards, 15.62 fantasy points , TE: 34 rec yards, TD, 9.4 fantasy points , RB: 11 rush yards, 51 rec yards, 6.2 fantasy points , WR: 90 yards, TD, 15.0 fantasy points , RB: 81 rush yards, 10 rec yards, 9.1 fantasy points , QB: 232 pa s yards, TD, 2 INTs, fumble lost, 7.28 fantasy points , WR: 117 yards, TD, 17.7 fantasy points , WR: 99 yards, fumble lost, 7.9 fantasy points , RB: 117 rush yards, TD, 10 rec yards, 18.7 fantasy points , RB: 95 rush yards, TD, -5 rec yards, fumble lost, 13.0 fantasy points returns! Denver called on Manning halfway through the third quarter following three turnovers by . And Manning's return seemingly sparked the ' offense, especially the run game. Both and scored rushing touchdowns once Manning came into the game. Osweiler did hook up with on the opening drive for a 72-yard touchdown score but that was about the only good thing the Brock-Lobster had going for him in terms of point scoring. Thomas finished with over 100 yards for the fourth time this season. threw two touchdown pa ses, one to and one to rookie wideout , who nobody has ever heard of before. His first NFL catch was an 80-yard touchdown reception. The fact that it took him this long to make an impact in the pa sing attack -- with all of the injuries in the receiving corps -- makes us wonder if he has what it takes to become a real threat down the road. toted the ball over 20 times for just over 80 yards, while did what we've become used to him doing -- more damage as a pa s catcher (eight rec, 51 yards) than a runner (five rush, 11 yards).St. Louis Rams at San Francisco 49ersTop performers: , RB: 44 yards, TD, 10.40 fantasy points , QB: 231 pa s yards, 2 rush yards, 9.44 fantasy points , WR: 81 yards, 8.10 fantasy points , QB: 354 pa s yards, TD, INT, 7 rush, 16.86 fantasy points , RB: 147 yards, 14.70 fantasy points , WR: 71 yards, TD, 13.10 fantasy points The didn't play anyone that you'd start on your fantasy teams. But scored a touchdown. The rest was just noise. It's all over now. This offense can't hurt you anymore. salvaged some measure of fantasy redemption with 354 pa sing yards in the season finale. We'll overlook that it took him until overtime to get there. Whatever. had a very nice game against a defense that had been pretty leaky over the final month of the season. Maybe this helps him land a job in the NFL somewhere next season. bodied a defensive back for a 33-yard touchdown to cap a pretty nice fantasy day. The end.Seattle Seahawks at Arizona CardinalsTop performers: , QB: 197 pa sing yards, 3 TDs, 21.18 fantasy points , RB: 17 carries, 102 yards, 10.20 fantasy points , WR: 5 rec, 46 yards, 4.60 fantasy points , WR: 3 rec, 34 yards, TD, 9.40 fantasy points , QB: 129 yards, TD, INT, 7.16 fantasy points , RB: 14 touches, 59 total yards, 5.90 fantasy points , WR: 6 rec, 55 yards, TD, 11.50 fantasy points , WR: 4 rec, 45 yards, 4.50 fantasy pointsThe jumped out to an early lead and never let go. managed three touchdowns before getting pulled. The pa sing game numbers were not particularly robust, as they didn't play long and the game script was not favorable for throwing. This game was more about , who took his 17 carries for his first career 100-yard game. For the second time in three weeks, Michael showed off the talent that so many have admired for a long time. By all accounts he is driven to make the most of this second chance with Seattle. He's an interesting player to watch through the NFL playoffs.The came out flat, which was more than a little surprising. Hopefully you weren't playing a championship in Week 17, because the Arizona a sets burned you big time. Once Seattle built a sizable lead, Arizona yanked their starters with Carolina also well on their way to a win and the No. 1 seed in the NFC. was a letdown player here, and is a free agent this offseason. He's the only one with a question mark headed into the NFL playoffs, but this will be a great fantasy offense again in 2016.Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina PanthersTop performers: , QB: 325 pa sing yards, rush TD, 2 INTs, 16.40 fantasy points , RB: 22 touches, 108 total yards, 10.80 fantasy points , RB Rodney McLeod Jersey : 13 touches, 89 total yards, 8.90 fantasy points , WR: 4 rec, 99 yards, 9.90 fantasy points , QB: 393 pa sing yards, 4 TDs, 32.72 fantasy points , RB: 16 touches, 61 total yards, TD, 12.10 fantasy points , WR: 7 rec, 120 yards, TD, 16.00 fantasy pointsThe put up a small fight to start out, but their inferiority eventually bubbled to the top. closed out a solid rookie season with a bit of a clunker, but still made plays here and there. He will be an interesting breakout candidate next season if Tampa can put more talent around him. For too long it was just he and . In that vein, once again had a quiet game. He spent much of this season the injury list, but didn't do the damage many hoped he would even when he was on the field. closed out his contract year with another solid fantasy game.The took care of busine s to wrap up the No. 1 seed in the NFC. once again topped three touchdowns, as he did many times this year. He rather surprisingly played most of the game. looks like a solid backup running back for the . He handled 16 touches and scored against a tougher run defense. also made his presence felt, going over 100 yards receiving for the first time in his career. Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay PackersTop performers: , RB: 67 rush yards, TD, 12.8 fantasy points D/ST: 5 sacks, INT, fmbl rec, TD, 19 fantasy points , QB: 291 yards, TD, INT, 12 rush yards, fmbl, 12.84 fantasy points , WR: 4 rec, 102 yards, 10.2 fantasy points , TE: 7 rec, 59 yards, TD, 11.9 fantasy pointsThe 2015-16 fantasy season's final game featured very little in terms of fantasy action. The running games on both sides were stymied, though found the end zone to salvage a day for his owners. The fell behind early, which forced out of the game script. The offense continued to be a me s, leading to a 19-point outing for the defense in fantasy. and his hoodie got open for a few big plays, but other than that looked mortal (again) while the likes of and couldn't turn short pa ses into bigger gains. "won" this game with 99 pa sing yards and no scores, if that tells you anything about how this went. The fantasy expectations of both of these squads will be mediocre next season, pending other changes.
