  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Undergoing concussion check

    Sutton is being evaluated for a possible head injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    No further details were immediately available, but it remains to be seen if Sutton will return to Sunday's contest. His status will be updated again when more details are available.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Another two touchdowns Sunday

    Evans brought in seven of eight targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 30-12 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Evans was back in the customary position of leading the Bucs in receptions and receiving yards while also paying multiple visits to the end zone for the second time this season. The veteran wideout has eight scores overall in his last seven contests, making him a premium fantasy option for a Week 17 home divisional clash with the Saints.

  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Bears' DJ Moore: Records just three catches Sunday

    Moore notched three catches (on six targets) for 18 yards during Sunday's 27-16 victory versus the Cardinals.

    On the Bears' second play from scrimmage, Moore recorded a six-yard catch, but as he was taken to the ground, his right ankle was rolled up on. He remained on the turf for several minutes and then visited the sideline tent for even longer, but after being deemed questionable to return, he reentered the contest. Overall, it marked Moore's least productive outing in terms of yards this season, and the six targets matched his third fewest in a game through 15 outings. Afterward, he told Alex Shapiro of NBC Sports Chicago that he "was hurting" but then "thought ... 'Why not just go out there and play?'" As such, Moore seems like a good bet to show up on Bears injury reports as the team prepares for its next game Sunday, Dec. 31 against the Falcons.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Picks apart Vikings secondary

    St. Brown secured 12 of 14 targets for 106 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-24 win over the Vikings.

    Minnesota had no answer for St. Brown with the division title on the line. Continuing to pile on the stats after already setting career highs in receiving yards (1,175) and touchdowns (seven) last week against Denver, St. Brown had his way with a burnable Vikings secondary over the middle of the field while also finding success working the sidelines and on a screen. With few receivers leaguewide handling bigger roles on offense, St. Brown should again stay busy when Detroit travels to Dallas in Week 17.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Leading receiver in return

    Hill (ankle) finished with nine receptions for 99 yards off 14 targets in Sunday's 22-20 win over Dallas.

    Hill returned from a one-game absence due to a minor ankle injury and resumed his role as Miami's top receiving option. The speed demon wound up leading the Dolphins in targets, receptions and receiving yards after fellow starter Jaylen Waddle left Sunday's contest twice with eye and shin injuries, respectively. If the latter is forced to miss any time, Hill would see his usual lofty target potential increase even further against the Ravens on Dec. 31.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Big fantasy game despite loss

    Lamb finished with six receptions on 10 targets for 118 yards and a touchdown while adding 14 rushing yards on two attempts in Sunday's 22-20 loss to the Dolphins.

    Lamb did all the heavy lifting for the Cowboys' offense Sunday, finishing as the team's leading receiver in every category while also chipping in 14 rushing yards to help a struggling rushing attack. All of this was not enough to lift Dallas past Miami, who won Sunday's contest on a last-second field goal by Jason Sanders. Lamb extended his impressive touchdown streak to seven games, and he is just one receiving touchdown away from setting a new personal career best. The superstar wideout will shoot for his 10th receiving touchdown when the Cowboys host the Lions on Saturday.

  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Jaguars' Calvin Ridley: Catches two second-half touchdowns

    Ridley caught six of nine targets for 90 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-12 loss to Tampa Bay. He suffered a loss of 12 yards on his lone rushing attempt.

    Ridley finally broke out with a huge fantasy score after managers were forced to endure three weeks of inefficient play. Jacksonville's top wideout scored both of his touchdowns in the second half of Sunday's loss, but the second came from the arm of backup quarterback C.J. Beathard after Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) left the game with a shoulder injury. The latter was already playing through a high-ankle sprain before injuring his shoulder, so Ridley's production may not take as big of a hit as it normally would have if the Jaguars' backup QB is forced to start against the Panthers next Sunday.

  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Has career-high five catches Sunday

    Williams gathered in five of six targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 30-24 win in Minnesota.

    Williams has struggled for consistent results in his second pro campaign, but he's now put together a cumulative 9-90-0 line on 13 targets over the last two contests. The 13 looks from Jared Goff marks the most usage in any two-game stretch of Williams' brief career, which may portend his current standing in the Lions offense with just two weeks remaining in the regular season. Fellow wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown again dominated Goff's attention to the tune of 12-106-1 on 14 targets, so Williams will need to take advantage of the handful of times he gets the ball in his hands in order to produce Saturday, Dec. 30 at Dallas.

  • K.J. Osborn WR | TEN

    Vikings' K.J. Osborn: Strikes for first TD since Week 3

    Osborn reeled in five of seven targets for 95 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Lions.

    Osborn may have benefitted slightly from rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison departing late in the second quarter with an ankle injury. Having said that, Osborn had two 14-yard catches on the Vikings' first possession, and he then had gains of 47, six (for a TD) and 14 after halftime. The team's No. 1 wide receiver Justin Jefferson looked like himself with 6-141-1 on 10 targets, but if Addison is forced to miss any time, Osborn and Brandon Powell (3-53-0 on four targets Sunday) would stand to benefit against an exploitable Packers defense next Sunday, Dec. 31.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Departs with shin injury

    Waddle left Sunday's game against the Cowboys with a shin injury and is questionable to return.

    Waddle left the game earlier with an eye injury and was able to return, but he has now departed the contest for a second time.
