New England Patriots

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson rushed two times for eight yards and caught three of his four targets for 28 yards in the season-ending blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Gibson completely lost his starting job to Brian Robinson Jr. this year, finishing the campaign with just 265 rushing yards, 389 receiving yards, and three total touchdowns. The 25-year-old has fumbled 12 times in four years, which is likely one cause of his decreased playing time since his rookie season. Gibson is scheduled to be a free agent this offseason. Although his days as a fringe RB1 are likely over, he could have PPR value as a pass-catching back in the right offense next season.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn was quiet in the final game of the regular season in Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Detroit Lions, catching just two passes for nine yards on his four targets. It was an improvement over his zero-target game in Week 17, but it was still a weak performance for the 26-year-old to wrap up the season. It was also a step back from his two previous campaigns, as he finished with 48 catches on 75 targets for only 540 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games played. We knew Osborn was going to be on the backburner in 2023 when the Vikings took Jordan Addison in the first round to pair with Justin Jefferson as a lethal 1-2 punch at wideout. Osborn will enter free agency in March, and his 2024 fantasy value will be determined by where he lands.

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas turned five targets into two catches for 13 yards during Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. He also added one rush for no gain. The Liberty product finishes his rookie campaign with 49 catches and 561 receiving yards, but he's still searching for his first NFL touchdown. Douglas enters the offseason as New England's top wide receiver, but the team will surely look to add significant competition at the position through the draft, free agency, and trades.

New England Patriots wide receiver Jalen Reagor turned six targets into just one catch for 33 yards during Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. He also added a 17-yard rush. Reagor led all Patriots wide receivers in targets and yards on Sunday, but that's not saying an awful lot considering how much the passing game faltered. Reagor won't be a priority re-signing for the Patriots this offseason, and it's hard to envision a scenario in which he has fantasy relevance next year.

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (ankle) has officially been ruled out for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the New York Jets, while receivers DeVante Parker (ribs) and Matthew Slater (hamstring) will play. All three receivers were listed as questionable coming into this one. Thornton finishes his second season in the NFL with just 13 receptions for 91 yards and no touchdowns on 23 targets over nine games played. The 23-year-old second-rounder has been a bust so far, but New England's poor quarterback situation hasn't helped his development. Parker and rookie Demario Douglas should be New England's top targets to close out the year, but the matchup against a strong Jets secondary isn't the greatest for fantasy managers in single-year leagues and DFS contests.
