Keenan Allen hauled in five of his eight targets for 25 yards in the Bears' 6-3 Week 17 loss to the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact: Allen remained a primary target for rookie quarterback Caleb Williams Thursday night, recording five or more receptions for the fifth time in the last six games. The veteran wideout should continue to be heavily targeted in a Week 18 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Roschon Johnson carried the ball four times for five yards in the Bears' 6-3 loss to the Seahawks in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Johnson has seen minimal involvement out of the Chicago backfield, recording four carries or less in each of his last four games. The running back can remain off rosters in all formats ahead of a Week 18 divisional contest against the Green Bay Packers.

Rome Odunze caught one of his four targets for 15 yards in the Bears' 6-3 Week 17 loss to the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact: Odunze has struggled to make a consistent impact in the Chicago passing attack, finishing with less than 70 receiving yards for the seventh time in his last eight games. The rookie wideout remains a risky option in lineups as part of an inconsistent Chicago offense, with a Week 18 divisional matchup against the Green Bay Packers up next.

Gerald Everett failed to catch his only target in the Bears' 6-3 loss to the Seahawks in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Everett continues to see little involvement in the Chicago offense, logging less than two targets in each of his last nine games. The veteran tight end is best left off rosters in all formats ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Green Bay Packers.

The Bears D/ST forced one turnover (one fumble recovery) while also recording three sacks in a 6-3 loss to the Seahawks in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: The unit turned in a solid performance Thursday night, allowing less than 30 points for the first time in four games. The defense will be difficult for fantasy managers to trust ahead of a tough Week 18 divisional contest against a Green Bay Packers offense potentially playing for playoff seeding.

Cairo Santos converted his lone field goal attempt in the Bears' 6-3 loss to the Seahawks in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Santos has not had consistent opportunities behind a struggling Chicago offense, recording less than seven points in each of the last five games. The kicker remains a risky option in lineups ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Green Bay Packers.

Geno Smith completed 17-of-23 pass attempts for 160 yards while also rushing three times for 19 yards in the Seahawks' 6-3 Week 17 win over the Bears.

Fantasy Impact: Smith has offered inconsistent results behind center, passing for less than 250 yards in four of his last five games. The quarterback remains a risky option for fantasy managers to trust in lineups ahead of a Week 18 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Zach Charbonnet carried the ball 15 times for 57 yards while also hauling in each of his three targets for 19 yards in the Seahawks' 6-3 Week 17 win over the Bears.

Fantasy Impact: Charbonnet has made the most of increased touches of late, rushing for more than 50 yards in three of his last four games. The running back will be in line for another sizeable workload with Kenneth Walker III placed on injured reserve, with a Week 18 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams up next.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba hauled in three of his six targets for 32 yards in the Seahawks' 6-3 Week 17 win over the Bears.

Fantasy Impact: Smith-Njigba was one of many in the Seattle offense affected by the wet conditions in Chicago Thursday night, recording less than 75 receiving yards for the first time in eight games. The versatile wideout should remain in lineups with Week 18 championships ahead of a divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

DK Metcalf hauled in all three of his targets for 42 yards in the Seahawks' 6-3 Week 17 win over the Bears.

Fantasy Impact: Metcalf continues an underwhelming stretch in the Seattle passing offense, finishing with less than 60 receiving yards in each of his last four games. The wide receiver remains a risky option in lineups ahead of a Week 18 divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Noah Fant caught four of his five targets for a team-high 43 yards in the Seahawks' 6-3 Week 17 win over the Bears.

Fantasy Impact: Fant remains moderately involved in the Seattle passing attack since returning from injury, seeing four or more targets in each of his last five games. The tight end remains a risky lineup option in all formats, with a Week 18 divisional contest against the Los Angeles Rams up next.

Kenny McIntosh carried the ball seven times for 46 yards in the Seahawks' 6-3 win over the Bears in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: McIntosh remains minimally involved out of the Seattle backfield, rushing for less than 50 yards in each of the last four games. The running back should once again remain out of lineups in all formats ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Los Angeles Rams.

Tyler Lockett caught three of his four targets for 20 yards in the Seahawks' 6-3 Week 17 win over the Bears.

Fantasy Impact: Lockett continues to struggle to make an impact in the Seattle offense, finishing with less than 25 receiving yards in each of the last seven games. The veteran wideout is best left off rosters ahead of a Week 18 divisional contest against the Los Angeles Rams.

Pharoah Brown caught his only target for four yards while also losing a fumble in the Seahawks' 6-3 win over the Bears in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Brown remains minimally involved in the Seattle offense, recording one reception or less in each of his last five games. The tight end can remain off rosters in all formats ahead of a divisional contest against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18.

The Seahawks D/ST recorded seven sacks while also forcing one turnover (one interception) in a 6-3 win over the Bears in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: The unit continues to apply consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks, registering two or more sacks in six of the last seven games. The defense will look for another strong performance in a divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18.

Jason Myers converted both of his field goal attempts in the Seahawks' 6-3 win over the Bears in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Myers continues a modest stretch behind an inconsistent Seattle offense, recording six or more points in each of his last five games. The kicker will look to finish the season on a strong note in a Week 18 divisional contest against the Los Angeles Rams.

Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson is labeled as questionable to play in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams with an ankle injury. (Source: azcardinals.com)

Fantasy Impact: Benson was out in Week 16 after failing to practice all week, but promisingly, he was limited all three days heading into Arizona's Saturday game. Benson could see some more action in Week 17 if he suits up as the Cards evaluate their rookie back, but with James Conner's recent form, they could also opt to stay with the veteran should he play (knee injury). Benson has played more than 16 offensive snaps just once all season. Michael Carter will serve as the RB2 if Benson is out (or RB1 if Conner is out as well).

Fantasy Impact: Conner was limited all week in practice with a new knee injury he picked up during Week 16. With the Cardinals eliminated from the playoffs, there is not much reason for Arizona to rush Conner back on the field, but it seems as though he may be set to play regardless. Los Angeles is in the bottom half of the league in yards per attempt conceded to rush attempts, and if Conner continues his recent run of volume (20.5 touches per game over his last four), he should be in for another big day if the RB room remains thin with Trey Benson banged up.

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins is listed as questionable on the team's final injury report ahead of Week 17's matchup with the Denver Broncos. (Source: bengals.com)

Fantasy Impact: Higgins was limited all week in practice heading into Week 17, but that has regularly been the case for Cincinnati's WR, who has dealt with numerous injuries and has not been a full participant in a practice in well over a month. The Bengals WR averages 77.2 yards and nearly a touchdown per game since his return from injury, and while he could draw attention on the outside from star CB Pat Surtain II, his elite running mate Ja'Marr Chase and in-form QB Joe Burrow should help him find success regardless.

Fantasy Impact: Facing the Denver Broncos defense has not been great for many QBs (inside the top 10 in TDs allowed, INTs forced, and net yards per pass attempt allowed), but Joe Burrow has been strong all season and could keep it up when fantasy teams need him most. He has 250+ passing yards and 3+ TDs in every game since Week 9, highlighting a ridiculous level of stability for fantasy that is not often found outside of mobile QBs. His limited status all week should not deter fantasy managers.
