Scott Pianowski highlights several strong rookie performances in Week 17, which will surely end up dictating many fantasy title matchups.

Anthony Edwards is once again in hot water with the NBA after dropping profane language on live television. 
The 23-year-old Timberwolves star was fined $100,000 on Sunday for a NSFW interview he gave after Friday night’s win against Houston.
Just a week ago, Edwards received a $75,000 fine for criticizing NBA officials and has been in the crosshairs of the NBA several times this year.
WATCH: 
Edwards can’t help it; he’s willing to drop authentic reactions on the mic, even if it comes at a big price.

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank paid tribute to former United States President Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday at age 100. 
The team’s social media team also posted a photo of Carter with the caption, “We mourn the passing of President Jimmy Carter.” 
Blank’s statement lauded Carter’s “civic responsibility” and called him a “great American.” 
“I am deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend and role model, President Jimmy Carter,” Blank wrote.

There are several players in the race for the NFL MVP award, but Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott made it clear that he thinks his quarterback, Josh Allen, deserves the award over the other candidates. 
The Bills smashed the New York Jets on Sunday, racing to a 40-0 lead before surrendering a couple meaningless fourth-quarter touchdowns to win 40-14. Allen didn’t have to do a ton against New York, given how the game played out. 
But Allen still accounted for three more touchdowns (two passing and one rushing) to push his season total to 40 (28 passing, 12 rushing).

It was Darnold’s fifth TD pass of at least 30 air yards this season, and the first allowed by the Packers.

Draymond Green continues his streak as the NBA’s most outlandish player.
On Saturday, while playing against the Phoenix Suns, a hot mic caught Green screaming at his Golden State Warriors teammate Buddy Hield after they led a broken offensive sequence.
Green tore Hield to shreds — a first-year Warriors guard and NBA vet — with Draymond’s signature profanity and theatrics.
“Wake the f**k up or go sit the f**k down,” Green shouted at Hield with a burning fury. Hield even responded amid the heightened tension.

The NFL scriptwriters are geniuses and the proof is this year’s Saquon Barkley story.
Accomplished NFL running back with a new team that needs help to keep from wilting as it did a year ago adds Barkley. And he not only helps that Philadelphia Eagles team win the NFC East title, but eclipses 2,000 yards in the process.
And he’s not only at 2,005 yards – bringing the total of NFL backs that surpassed 2,000 yards to nine – but he’s 101 yards from breaking Eric Dickerson’s all-time single-season rushing record of 2,105 set in 1984.

The Tennessee Titans are a bad football team. That is not an opinion, but a fact. As for where this Titans bunch ranks in terms of the worst teams in NFL history, well, that’s up for debate, but one stat gives them the edge in the department that no franchise wants to be a part of.
Since 1970, the start of the Super Bowl era, five teams have finished a season without winning a single game, with the 2017 Cleveland Browns being the last to pull off the feat. This year’s Titans team sits at 3-13 on the season, so it essentially eliminates them from the discussion.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley passed 2,000 rushing yards on the season Sunday to help Philadelphia clinch the NFC East title.

Former President Jimmy Carter died Sunday afternoon at the age of 100.
