Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of the Week 18 encounter with the Browns. Mixon hasn't hit the 100-yard rushing mark in any game this season. However, he's totaled 10 touchdowns, finding the end zone in eight of his previous 10 games. With the Bengals not going to the playoffs, the former Sooner may not see a full workload. But he has an excellent chance of finding the end zone even if he doesn't log a full 60 minutes against a Browns defense that could rest or limit some of their starters on the defensive end. Mixon also needs just 77 rushing yards for 1,000. As a result, head coach Zac Taylor may allow Mixon to stay out there to attempt to hit that mark for the fourth time in his career, which keeps him in play for any fantasy format.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs' late-season slump has some questioning his health heading into Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Miami Dolphins. Ever since hitting Week 10's injury report as a late addition with back soreness, Diggs just hasn't been the same after a wild nine-game start saw him average 7.8 receptions (10.8 targets) for 92.7 yards with seven total touchdowns. In seven outings since Week 10, however, the 30-year-old three-time Pro Bowler is managing just 4.3 catches (7.9 targets) for 37.4 yards with only one score. Diggs enjoyed his best game of the campaign against Miami in early October, rattling the Fins for a 6/120/3 receiving line. With star cornerback Xavien Howard (foot) out in Week 18, it puts Diggs at risk of facing shadow coverage from superstar Jalen Ramsey. Diggs is more of a midrange WR2 with some contrarian appeal in DFS tournaments due to his recent woes.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz will look to rebound in Week 18 against the Indianapolis Colts. Schultz wasn't utilized much in last week's win over the Tennessee Titans, catching just two passes for 19 yards. But a better game could be in store on Saturday. The Colts have allowed at least five catches to tight ends in 12 of 17 games this season. In Week 2, though, the 27-year-old playmaker only caught four passes for 34 yards. However, with many key tight ends sitting out in Week 18, Schultz is a solid TE1 option.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has been a surprise fantasy star this year, and he'll look to cap off an impressive season in Week 18 against the Indianapolis Colts. Collins is coming off a solid seven-catch for 80-yard performance in Week 17. The third-year wideout remains a weapon for quarterback C.J. Stroud in the passing game and that should continue on Saturday. In Week 2, the 24-year-old playmaker totaled seven catches for 146 yards and one touchdown against this Colts' secondary. In a must-win game for the Texans, Collins is a strong play this weekend.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is looking to carry his team to the playoffs in Week 18 against the Indianapolis Colts. Stroud is coming off a modest performance, throwing for just 213 yards and one touchdown in his first game back from a concussion. But a better game could be in store for the 22-year-old rookie. In Week 2, he threw for 384 yards and two touchdowns en route to a 21.5-point fantasy day against this Colts' secondary. With many star quarterbacks sitting out this weekend, Stroud is a strong option in Week 18.
