Allen caught all five of his targets for 44 yards in the 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

Allen has yet to exceed 60 yards receiving since Week 7, but he's been a reliable safety net tallying at least four receptions in four of the past five games. The veteran figures to be a critical part of the offense next week given how potent Houston's pass rush can be, especially against a Los Angeles offensive line besieged by injuries.

Hall rushed 16 times for 54 yards and caught two of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

Hall has notched at least 14 rushing attempts in 10 of the last 12 games as the most consistent option in the Jets' lackluster offense. He needs 46 rushing yards over the final two games of the regular season to reach 1,000 for the first time in his four-year NFL career. Hall will try to hit that benchmark in Week 17 against the Patriots.

Adkins (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup versus the Jaguars, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Adkins is done for the day after sustaining a knee injury in the first half of the game. Evan Engram and Adam Trautman will be left as the team's only healthy tight ends for the remainder of the matchup.

Sweat (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Sweat left early in the first quarter due to an ankle injury, but he was cleared to return in the second frame after being evaluated by medical staff. Jordan Burch and Dante Stills will revert to rotational roles on the defensive line now that Sweat is back in the game.

Gesicki caught three of four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.

The veteran tight end caught the fourth of Joe Burrow's four scores on the day, hauling in a 17-yard TD in the fourth quarter. Gesicki has made just two trips to the end zone in 11 games this season, but they've both come in the last three weeks, a stretch in which he's posted a 10-132-2 line on 12 targets. He'll look to exploit another soft matchup in Week 17 against the Cardinals.

Young completed 21 of 32 passes for 191 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding four rushes for 20 yards in the Panthers' 23-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Young turned in a relatively efficient effort in the grindy division win, and most important, he avoided any turnovers for the third straight game. The 2023 first overall pick connected with Tetairoa McMillan (22 yards) and Ja'Tavion Sanders (six yards) for his pair of scoring passes late in the second and third quarters, respectively, and he led a late seven-play, 43-yard drive that culminated in what would turn out to be the game-winning field goal. Young and the Panthers draw a tough Week 17 assignment, however, as the Seahawks drop in for a visit next Sunday afternoon.

Froholdt (elbow) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Froholdt is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Jon Gaines has shifted over to center and Hayden Conner is in the game at left guard following Froholdt's exit, per Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com.

St-Juste sustained a shoulder injury during the Chargers' 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

St-Juste was unable to return to the game due to his shoulder injury, and his status for the Chargers' Week 17 tilt against the Texans on Saturday may not be known until later in the week. He tallied six tackles (three solo) before leaving Sunday's contest.

Harris caught four of his five targets for 54 yards in the 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

The rookie set his career high in receiving yards (49) last week and immediately surpassed that the following game in large part due to the 34 receiving yards he tallied on the opening drive. Harris has effectively maintained a similar snap count week to week, and even in the event he sees his playing time jump, Houston's defense figures to present significant complications to Los Angeles' offense in the Week 17 contest.

Higgins caught all three of his targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.

Making his return from another one-game absence due to a concussion, Higgins made an immediate impact by connecting with Joe Burrow on a nine-yard TD in the first quarter. He's had to sit out two of the last three weeks while in the concussion protocol, but Higgins had has a nose for the end zone this season whenever he's been in the lineup, finding paydirt in six of his last seven appearances and hauling in 10 touchdowns in total over 13 games in 2025. His next score will set a new career high, a mark he'll look to reach in Week 17 against the Cardinals.
