Isaiah Likely hauled in his lone target for nine yards and one touchdown in the Ravens' 31-2 Week 17 win over the Texans.

Fantasy Impact: Likely has found a way to make an impact despite inconsistent target share, catching a touchdown in three of his last four games. The tight end remains a risky option for fantasy managers best left out of lineups ahead of a Week 18 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Tylan Wallace caught his only target for two yards in the Ravens' 31-2 win over the Texans in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Wallace has not been a consistent factor in the Baltimore passing game, registering two receptions or less in each of the last six games. The wideout is not worth rostering in any format, with a Week 18 contest against the Cleveland Browns up next.

Devontez Walker failed to catch either of his two targets in the Ravens' 31-2 win over the Texans in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Walker has been a non-factor in the Baltimore offense when active, failing to record more than one catch in each of his eight games. The wideout can be left off rosters ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Cleveland Browns.

The Ravens D/ST recorded five sacks while also forcing one turnover (one interception) in a 31-2 win over the Texans in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: The unit wreaked havoc on an overwhelmed Houston offense for much of the contest, allowing just 211 offensive yards in the dominant performance. The defense can once again be inserted into lineups in formats with championships on the line in a favorable Week 18 contest against the Cleveland Browns.

Justin Tucker converted his lone field goal attempt as well as all four of his extra point attempts to finish with seven points in the Ravens' 31-2 win over the Texans in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Tucker continues a productive stretch behind the high-powered Baltimore offense, finishing with five or more points in each of his last five games. The veteran kicker remains a reliable option for fantasy managers ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Cleveland Browns.

C.J. Stroud completed 17-of-31 pass attempts for 185 yards and one interception while also rushing once for seven yards in the Texans' 31-2 Week 17 loss to the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact: Stroud was unable to find a rhythm behind center while facing constant pressure from an aggressive Baltimore defense, failing to record at least one touchdown for the first time in five games. The second-year signal caller will look to turn things around against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18 to close out the regular season.

Joe Mixon carried the ball nine times for 26 yards while also catching two of his three targets for 13 yards in the Texans' 31-2 Week 17 loss to the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact: Mixon continues an underwhelming stretch out of the Houston backfield, finishing with less than 60 rushing yards in four of his last five games. The veteran running back will look to finish the regular season on a strong note as he approaches 1,000 rushing yards for the season ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Tennessee Titans.

Nico Collins hauled in three of his six targets for a team-high 59 yards in the Texans' 31-2 Week 17 loss to the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact: Collins continues to make the most of his role as a primary option in the Houston passing offense, hauling in four or more receptions in five of his last six games. The wideout remains a reliable option in lineups for fantasy managers ahead of a Week 18 divisional matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

John Metchie III hauled in five of his team-leading eight targets for 48 yards in the Texans' 31-2 Week 17 loss to the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact: Metchie III made the most of increased involvement in the Houston offense with Tank Dell (knee) sidelined, finishing first on the team in targets and receptions in the loss. The wideout will look to finish out the regular season on a strong note in a Week 18 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

Dameon Pierce carried the ball five times for 13 yards in the Texans' 31-2 loss to the Ravens in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Pierce was unable to make the most of a slight increase in backfield work Wednesday, averaging 2.6 yards per carry as part of a forgettable offensive performance Wednesday. The running back can remain out of lineups in all formats ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Tennessee Titans.

Robert Woods caught both of his targets for 21 yards in the Texans' 31-2 loss to the Ravens in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Woods continues a dismal stretch in the Houston passing attack, seeing less than three targets in five of his last six games. The veteran wideout should be left out of lineups in all formats ahead of a Week 18 divisional contest against the Tennessee Titans.

Dalton Schultz hauled in two of his six targets for 21 yards in the Texans' 31-2 Week 17 loss to the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact: Schultz continues to offer mixed results as part of the Houston passing offense, registering less than three receptions in three of his last five games. The tight end will be difficult for fantasy managers to trust in lineups despite a favorable Week 18 contest against the Tennessee Titans up next.

Xavier Hutchinson caught two of his four targets for 21 yards in the Texans' 31-2 loss to the Ravens in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Hutchinson continues a quiet stretch as part of the Houston passing attack, recording two receptions or less in each of his 15 games. The wideout cannot be trusted by fantasy managers in lineups ahead of a Week 17 contest against the Tennessee Titans.

Dare Ogunbowale carried the ball twice for 12 yards while also catching his only target for six yards in the Texans' 31-2 loss to the Ravens in Week 17.

Cade Stover caught his only target for one yard in the Texans' 31-2 loss to the Ravens in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Stover made minimal impact in his first game action since December 1, finishing with less than three targets for the fourth time in his last five games. The tight end can remain off rosters in all formats ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Tennessee Titans.

The Texans D/ST recorded one sack while failing to force a turnover in a 31-2 loss to the Ravens in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: The unit was unable to slow down the Baltimore offense Wednesday, allowing 432 offensive yards as well as multiple touchdowns on the ground and through the air. The defense will look to close out the regular season strong in a Week 18 AFC South contest against the Tennessee Titans.
