  • Mitchell Evans TE | CAR

    Panthers' Mitchell Evans: Records 23 yards in win

    Evans caught all three of his targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

    The rookie from Notre Dame paced the Panthers' tight-end corps in receptions, targets and yards during Sunday's divisional win. He's been an important part of Carolina's offense as both a blocker and receiver this season, appearing in all 15 games and catching 17 of 21 targets for 161 yards and two touchdowns. His role may continue to grow in the Panthers' Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.

  • Chad Ryland K | ARI

    Cardinals' Chad Ryland: Misses pair of kicks in loss

    Ryland converted four of six field-goal attempts and his lone extra point try in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons.

    Ryland accounted for 13 of Arizona's 19 points and made field goals from 50, 51, 25 and 34 yards but also missed back-to-back field-goal tries from 50 and 44 yards in the second and third quarters. Ryland's four field goals were still a single-game high for the 26-year-old, who has made just 23 of 31 field-goal attempts and all 32 extra points across 15 games this season.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Makes long kicks Sunday

    Fairbairn hit all three field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders.

    The kicker's field goals came from 55, 50 and 49 yards, respectively. Fairbairn has missed only four kicks this year, all field goals from 50 yards or longer, though he was perfect from that distance Sunday. The longtime Texan remains a reliable kicking option on a great defensive team that often settles for field goals.

  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Lions' Jared Goff: Three touchdowns against Pittsburgh

    Goff completed 34 of 54 passes for 364 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers. He added one rush for minus-1 yard.

    Goff took to the air a season-high 54 times as the Lions played down by two scores for much of the fourth quarter. He was efficient throughout the contest, and he picked up 199 yards and touchdowns of 27 and four yards across the team's final three drives of the game. While it hasn't led to consistent victories, Goff has topped 300 passing yards in three straight games while also throwing seven touchdowns in that span.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Won't return against Patriots

    Jackson (back) won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Jackson was deemed questionable to return in the second quarter. Tyler Huntley has been running the offense since that point, and Jackson has now officially been ruled out for the remainder of the night late in the third. Jackson finishes with seven completions for 101 yards on 10 passing attempts along with seven rushing yards on two carries. Jackson's next chance to aid Baltimore's playoff push will come Saturday at Green Bay.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: One catch vs. Tampa Bay

    Legette caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

    The second-year pro has now caught just seven of 13 targets for 74 yards over Carolina's last four contests. He appears to have been passed by Jalen Coker in the Panthers' receiving corps, as the latter has tallied 213 yards and two touchdowns on 14 receptions during that span. Legette remains Carolina's second-leading receiver on the season with 338 yards across 13 appearances, but he's unlikely to carry much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.

  • Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Hurts hamstring on SNF

    Douglas (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Prior to being deemed questionable to return, Douglas caught one of two targets for six yards. He had no targets in New England's Week 15 loss to the Bills.

  • Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Struggles in loss to Falcons

    Brissett completed 16 of 31 pass attempts for 203 yards, one touchdown and one interception while taking his only carry for five yards in Sunday's 26-19 loss to Atlanta.

    Brissett barely completed 50 percent of his pass attempts in his worst start since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot) back in Week 6. The 27-year-old Brissett recorded his lowest passing yardage total through 10 starts while being held to a single touchdown scored for just the second time this year. Brissett had been a revelation over his previous nine appearances with the Cardinals, so fantasy managers can hold out hope for a bounce-back effort in a soft matchup against Cincinnati in Week 17.

  • Morgan Moses OT | NE

    Patriots' Morgan Moses: Back in the game

    Moses (knee) has returned to Sunday night's game against the Ravens, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

    The starting right tackle left the game in the first quarter but was able to return, though Graff added that Moses "doesn't look 100 percent." With Thayer Munford (knee) questionable to return, it's unclear who would replace Moses if he can't continue.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Just one grab in return Sunday

    Harrison (heel) had one reception (on three targets) for 14 yards in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons.

    Harrison returned from his second two-game layoff since Week 10 -- the first was due to a concussion -- to reclaim his spot in Arizona's starting lineup. The 22-year-old may have been limited by the nagging heel injury that sidelined him in the first place after finishing Sunday's contest with new single-game lows for receptions (one) and yards (14) this season. Adam Schefter of ESPN shared late Saturday that the Cardinals planned to ease Harrison in upon his return, and that was indeed the case Sunday, as he logged just a 51 percent offensive snap share -- well below the 89 percent share posted by usual No. 2 wideout Michael Wilson. All three of Arizona's top receiving options experienced dips in production against Atlanta in Week 16, so Harrison's dud also may have been the result of a poor matchup for the Cardinals as a whole. Harrison will make another attempt at a return to form -- and may see an increased workload -- in next Sunday's road matchup against the Bengals.
