Quarterback Matthew Stafford finished exactly where he was valued:\u00a0 a low-end QB1. The biggest hit was wide receiver Marvin Jones, who put together a solid season of strong fantasy performances while not even being drafted as a WR3. Jones had a mid-season run of five WR1 finishes out of six games. He finished sixth among wide receivers with eight total touchdowns, and was the top fantasy wide receiver with 848 Air Yards.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Detroit also had a huge fantasy running back bust in\u00a0Ameer Abdullah. The Abdullah truthers may finally be finished, as the &#8220;metrics darling&#8221; underperformed for the third consecutive fantasy season. Eric Ebron was non-existent for the first 12 games, but ended the year with three TE1 games, including two top three performances. One of the most compelling ADP questions for 2018 is whether Ebron will be drafted based on his first 12 games or his last three.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/packers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Green Bay Packers<\/a><\/h3>\n<table width=\"344\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"32\">POS<\/td>\n<td width=\"124\">NAME<\/td>\n<td width=\"42\">ADP<\/td>\n<td width=\"70\">POS RANK<\/td>\n<td width=\"76\">POS FINISH<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>QB<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/RodgAa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aaron Rodgers<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>33<\/td>\n<td>QB1<\/td>\n<td>QB6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RB<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/MontTy01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ty Montgomery<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>34.1<\/td>\n<td>RB16<\/td>\n<td>RB21<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RB<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=JoneAa20,JoneAa00&amp;search=Aaron+Jones&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aaron Jones<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>256<\/td>\n<td>RB76<\/td>\n<td>RB48<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RB<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WillJa06.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jamaal Williams<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>138.4<\/td>\n<td>RB41<\/td>\n<td>RB37<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>WR<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/N\/NelsJo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jordy Nelson<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>12.4<\/td>\n<td>WR5<\/td>\n<td>WR47<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>WR<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/CobbRa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Randall Cobb<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>96<\/td>\n<td>WR31<\/td>\n<td>WR39<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>WR<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AdamDa01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Davante Adams<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>45.4<\/td>\n<td>WR16<\/td>\n<td>WR7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TE<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BennMa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Martellus Bennett<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>74.1<\/td>\n<td>TE7<\/td>\n<td>TE25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>HITS:<\/strong>\u00a0 Davante Adams<br \/>\n<strong>MISSES:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Jordy Nelson, Ty Montgomery, Martellus Bennett, Aaron Rodgers<\/p>\n<p>As Aaron Rodgers goes, so goes the fantasy value of all Packers.

Never a high yardage passer, his 3,259 passing yards ranks a microscopic 15th among fantasy quarterbacks.<\/p>\n<p>Carr&#8217;s lack of production clearly hurt wide receiver Amari Cooper who should simply be referred to as &#8220;The Fantasy Enigma.&#8221; The Raiders struggled to get Cooper involved, and when they did he was awful. Outside of his 11 catch, 210 yards, and two touchdown performance in week seven, Cooper only managed two weeks better than WR31.

There are legitimate concerns about Jameis Winston&#8217;s fantasy value. His 38 Danger Plays (when the quarterback takes an unnecessary risk that could have resulted in a turnover) ranked him second among all quarterbacks despite only playing 12 games. The hope that Doug Martin would return to his old self after being suspended for the first three games of the season was quickly dashed. Martin had two RB2 or better games in weeks five and six, and never came close to replicating those performances.<\/p>\n<p>Wide Receiver Mike Evans made a case for the biggest bust of the season, massively underperforming his 7.1 overall WR3 ADP. He ranked 15th at the position with just 66 receptions, and a microscopic 81st with just 100 yards after the catch. DeSean Jackson is too volatile to trust on a weekly basis, while Cameron Brate&#8217;s six consecutive TE1 weeks relegated O.J. Howard to an unreliable rookie season play.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/titans\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tennessee Titans<\/a><\/h3>\n<table width=\"338\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"32\">POS<\/td>\n<td width=\"118\">NAME<\/td>\n<td width=\"42\">ADP<\/td>\n<td width=\"70\">POS RANK<\/td>\n<td width=\"76\">POS FINISH<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>QB<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/MariMa01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marcus Mariota<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>84.8<\/td>\n<td>QB7<\/td>\n<td>QB17<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RB<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/MurrDe00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DeMarco Murray<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>14.4<\/td>\n<td>RB7<\/td>\n<td>RB20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RB<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/H\/HenrDe00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Derrick Henry<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>90.2<\/td>\n<td>RB30<\/td>\n<td>RB49<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>WR<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/MattRi00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rishard Matthews<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>119.6<\/td>\n<td>WR40<\/td>\n<td>WR30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>WR<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/D\/DaviCo03.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Corey Davis<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>117.3<\/td>\n<td>WR45<\/td>\n<td>WR83<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>WR<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/D\/DeckEr00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eric Decker<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>90.4<\/td>\n<td>WR32<\/td>\n<td>WR73<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TE<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WalkHu00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Delanie Walker<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>78.4<\/td>\n<td>TE6<\/td>\n<td>TE5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>HITS:<\/strong>\u00a0Rishard Matthews<b><\/b><br \/>\n<strong>MISSES: <\/strong>Marcus Mariota, DeMarco Murray, Derrick Henry, Corey Davis, Eric Decker<\/p>\n<p>While Tampa Bay had several fantasy busts, the Tennessee Titans had the most.

Yet his fantasy failures pale in comparison to running back DeMarco Murray,\u00a0who only averaged 43.9 rushing yards per game behind an offensive line that was touted as one of the best in the NFL. Murray only totaled seven touchdowns and 39 receptions. Even worse was that teammate Derrick Henry cut into Murray&#8217;s touches, relegating both as almost useless fantasy options. The pair of Titans backs only accumulated five total RB1 weeks on the season.<\/p>\n<p>There was fantasy success at the receiving position however, in the name of Rishard Matthews. Despite having the lowest ADP of the three main Titans wide receivers, Matthews produced six WR3 or better performances, more than justifying his 119.6 ADP. Rookie Corey Davis and free agent Eric Decker produced just five WR3 or better performances total. The most reliable Titans fantasy player was tight end Delanie Walker, who keeps churning out TE1 seasons even at age 33.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/redskins\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Washington Redskins<\/a><\/h3>\n<table width=\"338\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"32\">POS<\/td>\n<td width=\"118\">NAME<\/td>\n<td width=\"42\">ADP<\/td>\n<td width=\"70\">POS RANK<\/td>\n<td width=\"76\">POS FINISH<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>QB<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/CousKi00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kirk Cousins<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>84.4<\/td>\n<td>QB6<\/td>\n<td>QB6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RB<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/K\/KellRo00.htm\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robert Kelley<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>63.4<\/td>\n<td>RB27<\/td>\n<td>RB60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RB<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=ThomCh03,ThomCh24,ThomCh05&amp;search=Chris+Thompson&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chris Thompson<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>151.3<\/td>\n<td>RB58<\/td>\n<td>RB10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RB<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/P\/PeriSa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Samaje Perine<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>129.8<\/td>\n<td>RB41<\/td>\n<td>RB38<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>WR<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/P\/PryoTe00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Terrelle Pryor<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>30.8<\/td>\n<td>WR16<\/td>\n<td>WR81<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>WR<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/CrowJa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jamison Crowder<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>63.8<\/td>\n<td>WR28<\/td>\n<td>WR39<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TE<\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/ReedJo02.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jordan Reed<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>61.8<\/td>\n<td>TE6<\/td>\n<td>NA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>HITS:<\/strong>\u00a0Chris Thompson<br \/>\n<strong>MISSES: <\/strong>Rob Kelley, Terrelle Pryor, Jordan Reed<\/p>\n<p>Washington was beset by injuries throughout the season, but still managed some quality fantasy production.

He finished as the WR81 averaging just 6.2 fantasy points per game after being drafted as the WR16 with a 30.8 overall ADP.<\/p>\n<p>Wide receiver Jamison Crowder battled injuries during the first half of the season but came on strong with three touchdowns over his last five games to go along with 44 receptions over his last eight games.
