Broncos' Delarrin Turner-Yell: Done for the day
Turner-Yell (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Turner-Yell is officially done for the day after having picked up a knee injury in the first half. With the 26-year-old sidelined, JL Skinner and Devon Key will be left as Denver's only options at safety for the remainder of the matchup.

Brandin Echols CB | PIT
Steelers' Brandin Echols: Ruled out with groin injury
Echols (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Lions, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Echols sustained a groin injury in the first half of Sunday's game and was quickly ruled out. Asante Samuel will likely take over at slot cornerback for the injured starter.

Darren Waller TE | MIA
Dolphins' Darren Waller: Three grabs in lopsided loss
Waller brought in three of five targets for 40 yards in the Dolphins' 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Waller couldn't fully exploit what has been the most favorable matchup in the league for tight ends this season, although he did contribute a 22-yard grab on one of his three catches. The veteran tight end was working with rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers for the first time, and given they flashed some solid chemistry, Waller could be set for even more work against another defense that tends to give up production to his position, that of the Buccaneers, in a Week 17 home matchup.

Devin Singletary RB | NYG
Giants' Devin Singletary: Gets 11 carries to Tracy's 16
Singletary rushed 11 times for 47 yards and caught his only target for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.
Singletary played second fiddle to Tyrone Tracy, who turned 16 carries and two targets into 78 scrimmage yards. Despite Tracy working in the lead role, Singletary has notched double-digit touches in six of the past seven games in the Giants' run-heavy offense. Both running backs could find success in Week 17 against the vulnerable Raiders defense.

Jake Ferguson TE | DAL
Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Just three grabs in Sunday's loss
Ferguson caught three of four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Chargers.
For the second straight game and the fourth time in the last eight contests, Ferguson failed to reach 20 receiving yards. After a fantastic start to the season, the fourth-year tight end has faded away, managing a poor 29-155-1 line on 40 targets during that eight-game span. He'll look to find a spark in Week 17 against the Commanders.

George Pickens WR | DAL
Cowboys' George Pickens: Bounces back in loss to Bolts
Pickens caught seven of nine targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Chargers.
After a three-game stretch in which Pickens had posted a 14-158-0 line on 28 targets while CeeDee Lamb took center stage in the Cowboys' aerial attack, Pickens surged back to the forefront Sunday, capping his fifth 100-yard performance of the season with a 38-yard TD strike from Dak Prescott in the second quarter. Pickens has already put together a career-best campaign with 88 catches on 129 targets for 1,342 yards and nine touchdowns, and he'll look to stay locked in against the Commanders in Week 17.

Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Sets pace for air attack Sunday
Waddle brought in five of nine targets for 72 yards in the Dolphins' 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Miami.
Waddle flashed good chemistry with rookie first-time starter Quinn Ewers, leading the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The swapping out of Tua Tagovailoa for Ewers thus seemed to give Waddle's outlook a boost, as the talented wideout posted his best receiving yardage total in the last five contests. Waddle should have the opportunity to continue working with Ewers in a Week 17 home matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

Brady Cook QB | NYJ
Jets' Brady Cook: No TDs, two turnovers in loss
Cook completed 22 of 35 passes for 188 yards and an interception in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints. He also rushed once for two yards and lost a fumble.
Cook threw for only 74 yards in the first half, as the Jets took a 9-6 deficit into the locker room after a touchdown-less first half. The Saints stepped up in the second half while Cook was a bit more productive through the air, but the Jets failed to score after halftime. Cook has a 1:6 TD:INT through three NFL appearances (two starts). Tyrod Taylor recovered enough from groin and knee injuries to dress as the backup Sunday, so it's possible the Jets could turn back to Taylor or Justin Fields (knee) under center against the Patriots in Week 17 over the struggling undrafted rookie Cook.

Audric Estime RB | NO
Saints' Audric Estime: Eight touches working behind Hill
Estime rushed five times for 19 yards and caught three of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 29-6 win over the Jets.
The Saints were missing Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) and Devin Neal (hamstring, IR), but Taysom Hill stepped up as the top option at running back. Hill paced the team with 12 carries while Estime and Evan Hull each had five. Even if Kamara remains sidelined in Week 17 against the Titans, Estime will likely remain limited to a complementary role.
-
CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Limited yardage in Week 16 loss
Lamb caught six of seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Chargers.
After three straight 100-yard performances, Lamb took a back seat to George Pickens (7-130-1 on nine targets), as the talented receiving duo continues to alternate the role of Dak Prescott's favorite target. Lamb did reach 1,000 yards on the season Sunday, the fifth straight campaign he's hit that milestone, and he'll take a 69-1,027-3 line on 106 targets through 12 games into a Week 17 tilt against the Commanders.
