Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has never instilled confidence into fantasy managers when they need to start him. There isn't really anyone in the Ravens backfield that is a surefire fantasy lineup lock, and it's been that way for a long time now. The Houston Texans sit right around the middle of the pack as they were tied for the 14th toughest defense against opposing running backs. While they've given up 12 touchdowns to running backs this year, they've allowed the sixth-fewest rushing yards and the lowest amount of yards per carry in the league. Edwards' saving grace is his red zone opportunities which seem to have shrunk toward the end of the season. So, this doesn't bode well for Edwards and makes him a touchdown-dependent option.

Carolina Panthers tight end Hayden Hurst (concussion) said he cleared the league's concussion protocol on Sunday and is looking forward to a fresh start. Hurst suffered a serious concussion in Week 10 and never played again in the 2023 season. The 30-year-old was diagnosed with post-traumatic amnesia and was eventually placed on Injured Reserve. In his nine games played in his first year in Carolina, Hurst caught only 18 passes for 184 yards and one touchdown in the worst offense in football in which rookie quarterback Bryce Young struggled mightily. He signed a three-year, $21.75 million deal last offseason, so Hurst will be back in 2024 with a new head coach and new general manager running things in Carolina. Depending on whether a new coaching staff can get more out of Young and this offense, Hurst could improve if he can stay healthy.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly had 46 receiving yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals. While Dissly was the one who scored, it was Colby Parkinson who saw the biggest increase in snaps after the early departure of Noah Fant (hand) due to injury. Both tight ends tied with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba to lead the team in receptions with three apiece. In a season where Seattle's offensive line was often injured and struggling to hold their ground, the Seahawks rotated their tight ends frequently and utilized them as extra blockers more often than not. As such, the touchdown was Dissly was rarely involved in the passing game and his production in Week 18 leaves him with a final tally of 17 catches for 172 yards and one touchdown in 2023.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker scored all of the Chargers points for a second game in a row in a Week 18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs backup squad. Dicker made all four of his field goal tries to wrap up an impressive season in which he was one of the few bright spots for a slumping Los Angeles team. Week 18 saw Dicker make field goals from 49, 40, 43, and 20 yards out. For the first time in a long time, the Chargers had a solid special teams unit this season. The problem was, the offense and defense were both mired in season-long slumps.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston made two catches against the Kansas City Chiefs backups in Week 18 to finally and mercifully end his tough rookie season. Johnston, who was drafted in the first round, ended up making just 38 catches for 431 yards and two touchdowns all year. In Week 18, he turned five targets into two catches for 17 yards. He'll be back for the 2024 season with a whole new coach and (likely) offensive coordinator, so it will be interesting to see if they will be able to turn around one of the biggest busts of the 2023 draft.
