Buffalo Bills struggling wide receiver Stefon Diggs was on the field for just 65% of the offensive snaps in the Week 17 win over the New England Patriots and hasn't topped a 70% snap share since Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady said on Monday that he and Diggs are on the same page about his usage. Brady said the reasoning is to keep Diggs fresh and to make sure quarterback Josh Allen and the offense is efficient when targeting Diggs. Buffalo has also had a renewed focus on the run game in the last four weeks, with Diggs going for only 17 catches on 31 targets for 127 yards and no TDs. The 30-year-old will have a nice chance to bounce back in Week 18 against the Miami Dolphins, though. In the wild-card win over Miami last year, he had a team-high seven catches for 114 yards and then caught six passes for 120 yards and three touchdowns in Week 4 of this season against the Dolphins.
Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan caught both of his targets for 19 yards and one touchdown during a win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 17. Despite operating behind Dalton Schultz, Jordan was able to contribute offensively with Houston's lone receiving touchdown. On that note, Jordan doesn't see much volume when Schultz is healthy and has never been a consistent touchdown scorer. As long as he remains in a depth role, Jordan can be left off the fantasy radar.
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz turned four targets into just two catches for 19 yards during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. It was a disappointing outing from the 27-year-old, who was just one week removed from a big eight-catch, 61-yard outburst versus Cleveland. With that said, the Texans' passing attack didn't have to do much on Sunday given that they jumped out to an early lead over the Titans and never looked back. A much more pass-heavy approach would have worked in Schultz's favor. He continues to rank as a low-end fantasy TE1 versus Indianapolis next week.
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud returned from his two-game absence against the Tennessee Titans in Week 17, completing 24 of 32 passes for 213 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He also took one sack and added four rushing yards. While the rookie didn't have a huge game in this outing, he played turnover-free football while mounting six scoring drives and leading Houston to a divisional win late in the season. Fantasy managers should view him as a low-end QB1 option against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18.
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins caught seven of eight targets for 80 yards during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. He also added a seven-yard rush. Collins has impressed in his two games since returning from a calf injury, and he also benefitted from C.J. Stroud returning to the fold this week after he cleared concussion protocol. As the No. 1 wide receiver in an offense led by a dynamic quarterback, Collins should be viewed as a solid WR2 option in most fantasy leagues for Week 18.
