  • Alex Singleton LB | DEN

    Broncos' Alex Singleton: Just four tackles Christmas Day

    Singleton finished Thursday's 20-13 win over the Chiefs with four tackles (two solo).

    Singleton played 42 of 43 defensive snaps (97.7 percent), but his four tackles were a season low. The veteran linebacker is up to 128 tackles (51 solo), including 1.0 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble through 15 regular-season games. The Broncos wrap up the regular season in Week 18 against the Chargers, when they'll look to lock up the No. 1 seed in the AFC heading into the playoffs.

  • Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Reaches end zone in Week 17

    Taylor rushed the ball 21 times for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Jaguars. He added three receptions on six targets for 14 yards.

    The Jaguars boast one of the best run defenses in the league, and they made running room hard to come by for Taylor. His longest rush went for only 10 yards, though he still turned in a solid fantasy performance thanks to his volume of touches as well as a three-yard touchdown plunge early in the second quarter. Taylor now has 20 total touchdowns for the season and has at least 70 yards from scrimmage in five consecutive contests. It's unclear if the Colts will alter their backfield usage in Week 18 after being eliminated from playoff contention, but Taylor will face a very tough Texans run defense to close the 2025 campaign.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Salvages day with TD

    Evans brought in three of seven targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Evans was enduring a mostly miserable afternoon before he was able to secure a four-yard touchdown grab with just under a minute remaining to give the Buccaneers some fleeting hope. Otherwise, the perennial Pro Bowler was mostly a non-factor, albeit while crossing the 13,000-yard career mark on one of his earlier catches. Evans has back-to-back 31-yard, one-touchdown efforts, and the team he secured the first of those against, the Panthers, await in a Week 18 home matchup for Tampa Bay that presents a chance for the Bucs to still win the division, with a Week 18 win coupled with a Falcons loss in one of the next two games.

  • Adam Butler DT | LV

    Raiders' Adam Butler: Leaves game with arm injury

    Butler (arm) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Butler went to the locker room to have his arm injury evaluated by medical staff. Thomas Booker and JJ Pegues are in line for more snaps at defensive tackle alongside Jonah Laulu for as long as Butler is out of the game.

  • Daiyan Henley LB | LAC

    Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Double-digit stops vs. Houston

    Henley posted 10 tackles (two solo) during the Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday.

    Henley played every single defensive snap and tied a season high with 10 tackles during Saturday's loss. The third-year linebacker is now up to 102 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, marking the second year in a row in which he cracked 100-plus tackles in a season.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Four grabs against Cards

    Higgins caught four of five targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 37-14 win over Arizona.

    The 26-year-old wideout fell one yard shy of Ja'Marr Chase for the team lead, but his teammate bolstered his production with two TDs. Higgins has missed two of the last five games due to concussion issues, and on the season he's posted a 53-779-10 line on 89 targets through 14 contests. He needs one more touchdown to set a new career high, a mark he'll look to reach in Week 18 against the Browns.

  • Derwin James FS | LAC

    Chargers' Derwin James: Picks off Stroud in Week 17 loss

    James logged eight tackles (five solo) and an interception during the Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday.

    James picked off a C.J. Stroud pass that was tipped near the line of scrimmage, which the Chargers offense converted into a 27-yard field goal from Cameron Dicker six plays later. It was James' third interception of the season, two of which have come over his last three games. The veteran safety is up to 94 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, and Week 18 against the Broncos presents James the opportunity to reach the tackling century mark for the fifth time in his eight-year NFL career.

  • Jaguars' Parker Washington: Turns 10 targets into 115 yards

    Washington caught eight of 10 targets for 115 yards and rushed once for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.

    Washington led the Jaguars in receiving yards on 10 targets for the second time in as many weeks. He has drawn double-digit targets four times this season and remains a key receiver for Trevor Lawrence, even with Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas both healthy. Washington will look to keep his late-season surge going in Week 18 against the Titans as the Jaguars try to clinch the AFC South.

  • Bucky Irving RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Forgettable afternoon in loss

    Irving rushed nine times for 19 yards and brought in five of six targets for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Irving was surprisingly stonewalled on the ground by a typically vulnerable Dolphins defense, and although he made solid contributions from a PPR perspective with his five catches, they went for minimal yardage. Irving had rushed for at least 55 yards in each of his first four games back from a long absence due to shoulder and foot injuries, so Sunday's downturn was particularly drastic and ill-timed for fantasy managers rolling with him in their playoff contests. Irving will look to atone in a critical Week 18 home matchup against the Panthers that presents a chance for the Bucs to still win the division, with a Week 18 win coupled with a Falcons loss in one of the next two games.

  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Two rushing TDs as win streak grows

    Lawrence completed 23 of 37 passes for 263 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts. He also rushed eight times for 26 yards and two touchdowns.

    Lawrence failed to throw a touchdown pass for the first time since Week 9 and had a streak of five consecutive games with multiple touchdown passes snapped, but he made key plays with his legs to extend Jacksonville's winning streak to seven games. He scored a four-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter and added a six-yard rushing score in the third to turn a 10-0 deficit into a 14-10 lead. In addition to producing his third multi-touchdown rushing performance of the season, Lawrence picked up a key fourth-and-1 with a three-yard run just after the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter as the Jaguars nursed a late one-possession lead. Jacksonville would clinch the AFC South with a Week 18 win over the Titans or a Houston loss/tie against the Colts.
