Etienne rushed the ball 16 times for 50 yards in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Broncos. He added four receptions on five targets for 16 yards and a touchdown.

Etienne wasn't particularly efficient in his capacity as a rusher or a receiver, but he still managed a solid performance on 20 total touches while benefiting from the absence of Bhayshul Tuten (finger). His longest gain on the ground nearly resulted in a touchdown, as he went for 24 yards midway through the second quarter before being tackled at the three-yard line. Etienne then managed to reach the end zone on Jacksonville's second possession of the second half, catching a short pass before making a defender miss in the open field for a 10-yard trip to the end zone. Etienne has been inefficient as a runner this season, but he has 10 total touchdowns across his last seven games to remain a very consistent fantasy contributor.

Butker converted three of four field-goal attempts in the Chiefs' 26-9 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

Butker accounted for all nine of the Chiefs' points in the team's first game without Patrick Mahomes (knee), though QB2 Gardner Minshew also suffered what appeared to be a significant knee injury of his own against Tennessee. Butker's made field goals came from 54, 41 and 27 yards, but he missed a 51-yard kick wide right in the third quarter. It's been a subpar season for Butker, who has missed a total of nine kicks, including five field goals and four extra points.

Carter rushed 11 times for 65 yards while failing to collect either of his two targets in Sunday's 26-19 loss to Atlanta.

Carter was officially named the starter after Bam Knight (ankle) was placed on injured reserve following the latter's early exit in last week's loss to Houston. The 26-year-old Carter logged seven fewer touches in Sunday's start than he did taking over mid-game for the starter in Week 15. The North Carolina product still commanded the lion's share of backfield carries, finishing well ahead of backups Corey Kiner (6-32-0) and Emari Demercado (5-30-0). Carter should continuing seeing enough volume as Arizona's fill-in starter to warrant fantasy consideration for Saturday's road tilt against the Bengals.

Woods (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's matchup with the Ravens.

The cornerback did not record a stat before sustaining the injury. Woods has played more on special teams than defense in 2025.

Etienne received no offensive touches but tallied 33 punt-return yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

The 21-year-old has gone without an offensive touch in five of the Panthers' last seven games, suggesting he's firmly behind both Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard in the team's backfield. Etienne has now tallied 642 kick-return yards and 160 punt-return yards while appearing in all 15 of Carolina's contests this season. He's expected to remain the team's top return man in the Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.

St. Brown recorded four receptions on nine targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers.

St. Brown remained involved in the Detroit offense, though his nine targets were a modest total given that Jared Goff took to the air 54 times. He was also inefficient with his opportunities by hauling in fewer than half of his targets for only the second time this season. It was nearly a bigger game for St. Brown, as he appeared to have a one-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter, only to have the score nullified by an offensive pass interference penalty. St. Brown will be in for another tough matchup in Week 17 against the Vikings.

Tonga (foot) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday night's game against the Ravens.

The nose tackle suffered the injury during the first half after making three tackles. Eric Gregory is his backup.

Cousins completed 21 of 35 pass attempts for 197 yards, two touchdowns, one interception and a lost fumble while scoring a third touchdown and losing three yards on five carries in Sunday's 26-19 win over Arizona.

Cousins was unable to replicate last week's vintage 373-yard performance, but he was able to reproduce the trio of touchdowns in another winning effort. The 36-year-old's third trip to the end zone came via a rare QB sneak in the fourth quarter that would end up serving as the game-deciding score Sunday. Cousins is beginning to show flashes of his former glory after looking rusty in his first few starts taking over for the injured Michael Penix (knee). While he is far from a sure thing, Cousins has at least put himself back in the conversation for potential starting options for fantasy managers in desperate QB situations. A Week 17 matchup against a tough Rams defensive unit dampens the excitement around the veteran starter for those in standard fantasy leagues.

Tremble caught his only target for six yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

It appears Tremble's role in Carolina's offense has shrunk over the past four games, as he's caught just four of seven targets for 21 yards during that span. The 25-year-old has appeared in all 15 of the Panthers' contests this year, tallying 205 receiving yards and one touchdown on 23 receptions. He'll likely have minimal fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.

McPherson made his lone field-goal attempt and all six extra-point tries in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.

McPherson's field goal came from 45 yards away, and he sandwiched it with six PATs on a day the Bengals hung 35 straight points on the Dolphins after falling behind 14-10 in the second quarter. On the season, McPherson has converted 24 of 27 field-goal tries and all 37 extra-point attempts across 15 contests. He'll be a premier fantasy kicker at home next Sunday against Arizona.
