Why Dolphins, Packers will clinch final playoff spots in Week 18 | THE HERD

Durham Smythe - Held to one catch againSmythe secured his only target for nine yards during Sunday's 23-21 win over the Patriots.

ImpactSmythe has put together three straight games with just one catch, and he's still looking for his first receiving score of the season. The tight end remains off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 18 regular-season finale against the Jets, while Mike Gesicki (four targets and one score Sunday) is at least showing signs of life.

Mike Gesicki - Ends cold streak with touchdownGesicki secured two of four targets for 18 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Patriots.

ImpactGesicki recorded more than one catch for the first time since Week 10 and scored for the first time since Week 8 on Sunday, though his yardage total was still modest. The tight end's increased involvement was likely a product of Miami's conservative gameplan without Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) in the lineup, a trend that could repeat Week 18 at home against the Jets.

Jason Sanders - Costly miss in narrow lossSanders missed his only field-goal attempts and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 23-21 loss to New England.

ImpactSanders failed to convert a 51-yard attempt in a divisional loss that saw Miami fall by just two points, now putting him at just 1-for-5 on 50-plus yard field-goal tries this season. He will attempt to record more production versus the Jets in Week 18.

Nick Folk - Nails only field goal in winFolk converted his only field-goal try while going 2-for-3 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 23-21 victory over the Dolphins.

ImpactAfter missing both of his extra-point attempts in the Patriots' Week 16 loss to the Bengals, Folk was able to nail a 49-yard field goal in the third quarter of Sunday's contest. The kicker did miss a PAT in the contest and he has now gone 2-for-5 on extra points over the last two weeks after starting the season a perfect 28-for-28. On the campaign, the 38-year-old has converted 31 of 36 field-goal tries, including 4-for-5 from 50 or more yards.

Nelson Agholor - Logs 27 snaps in Week 17Agholor was on the field for 27 of a possible 60 snaps in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

ImpactFor the second straight week, Agholor (who saw one target versus Miami) didn't record a catch and was out-snapped by Tyquan Thornton (56), Jakobi Meyers (49) and Kendrick Bourne (28). Heading into this coming Sunday's regular season finale against the Bills, Agholor is off the fantasy radar.

Kendrick Bourne - One catch in Week 17Bourne was on the field for 28 of a possible 60 snaps in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Dolphins, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, en route to catching one of his two targets for 16 yards...

ImpactAfter catching six of his nine targets for a season-high 100 yards and a TD in the Patriots' Week 16 loss to the Bengals, Bourne's role in the team's offense took a hit versus Miami, with Jakobi Meyers (nine targets) and Tyquan Thornton (seven targets) working as Mac Jones' top wideout targets in the contest. Looking ahead the New England's regular-season finale this Sunday against the Bills, Bourne profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option.
