    Lions' Jake Bates: Makes all four kicks in loss

    Bates made his lone field-goal attempt and all three PATs in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers.

    Bates' lone field goal was good from 36 yards. The second-year kicker has struggled a bit this season, making just 79 percent of his field-goal attempts after converting 90 percent as a rookie. However, he's remained strong in the PAT department, with NFL-highs in extra-point attempts (54) and conversions (52) through 15 contests. Bates will again be kicking in a dome this upcoming Thursday against the Vikings in Minnesota.

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: Hits pay dirt on SNF

    Henry hauled in six of seven targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens.

    Henry made his mark on Sunday Night Football in the fourth quarter when he slipped behind the coverage for a short touchdown grab in the back corner of the end zone. The veteran tight end was held to one catch when the Patriots came out of the bye in Week 15, so fantasy managers were pleased to see a return to form against Baltimore. Henry currently sits 11 yards shy of the career-high mark of 674 receiving yards he posted in 2024. Next Sunday's matchup versus the Jets presents a golden opportunity for Henry to reach that personal milestone in Week 17.

  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Makes all three kicks in loss

    Aubrey made his lone field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Chargers.

    After missing a pair of field goals in last Sunday night's loss to the Vikings, Aubrey bounced back to make all three of his kicks against the Chargers. On the season, Aubrey has made 32 of 36 field-goal attempts and 42 of 43 PATs across 15 contests.

  • Tyler Huntley QB | BAL

    Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Fills in for Jackson

    Huntley completed nine of 10 passes for 65 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Patriots. He added two rushes for two yards.

    Huntley took over for an injured Lamar Jackson late in the second quarter and managed the team to a pair of scoring drives in the second half. While he passed for a modest yardage total, he kept the offense on schedule, showing strong rapport with DeAndre Hopkins in the process. It's unclear if Huntley will be called upon for Baltimore's Week 17 matchup against the Packers on Saturday night, though the offense may struggle to move the ball in a tough matchup if Jackson remains sidelined.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Takes over for injured starter

    Stevenson rushed eight times for 51 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over Baltimore.

    Rookie starter TreVeyon Henderson was ruled out at halftime after suffering a concussion in the first half. Stevenson played a large part in the Patriots erasing an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter when he scampered for a 21-yard touchdown with less than three minutes remaining in the contest. The veteran backup is no stranger to starting for New England, so he would immediately become a hot waiver add if Henderson is unable to clear the league's concussion protocol in time for next Sunday's tilt against the Jets.

  • Falcons' Zane Gonzalez: Misses PAT in Week 16 win

    Gonzalez made both of his field-goal attempts and two of three PATs in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.

    Gonzalez converted 49- and 40-yard field goals versus Arizona but missed a second-quarter extra point following a six-yard Kyle Pitts touchdown. Gonzalez has kicked in seven games for Atlanta this season, going 13-for-15 on field-goal tries and 13-for-14 on extra points. He's not an overly exciting fantasy kicker headed into next Monday night's game against the Rams.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Solid showing marred by fumble

    Flowers recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Patriots. He added one rush for 18 yards and one touchdown.

    Flowers had one of his better showings of the season, as he topped 100 yards from scrimmage for only the third time in 15 games. He was particularly involved as a pass catcher early in the contest -- before Lamar Jackson exited with a back injury -- logging receptions of 19 and 18 yards on Baltimore's first possession before chipping in a 14-yard catch on the team's second drive. Flowers also found the end zone for the second consecutive game on a 14-yard end-around late in the third quarter. Despite turning in one of his more productive games of the season, Flowers' effort was overshadowed by a lost fumble late in the game that helped New England clinch the win.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Explodes for 138 yards on SNF

    Diggs recorded nine receptions on 10 targets for 138 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens.

    Diggs ended his recent dry spell with his fourth 100-plus yard game of the season. The veteran receiver nearly doubled his entire production (72 yards, zero TDs) from his last three contests combined with Sunday's monster output. Diggs upped his season receiving line to 76-869-3, putting him in a realistic position to record his first 1,000-yard season since he was a member of the Bills in 2023. The wideout's next opportunity to work on that achievement will come in a road tilt against the Jets next Sunday.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Misses late FG in narrow win

    Boswell converted two of three field-goal attempts and all three of his PATs in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Lions.

    Boswell made field goals from 59 and 23 yards but banged a 37-yard attempt off the right upright late in the fourth quarter with 2:09 left in the contest. It would have put the Steelers up 32-24, however, Detroit got the ball back with a chance to win but had the game-winning TD called back on a penalty as time expired. On the season, Boswell has made 23 of 27 field-goal tries and all 40 PATs.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Makes all six kicks in win

    Dicker converted both of his field-goal attempts and all four PATs in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys.

    Dicker's made field goals came from 37 and 27 yards, and the 25-year-old kicker is currently the most accurate kicker in NFL history, having made 94 percent of his 135 career field-goal attempts through four seasons. Through 15 games this season, Dicker has drilled 36 of 38 field-goal tries and all 33 of his extra points. He'll be an intriguing Week 17 option at home in the dome against the Texans next Saturday.
