Stafford completed 24 of 38 pass attempts for 368 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while gaining two yards on one carry in Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions.

Stafford shook off the interception he threw on the Rams' opening drive in order to lift his current club to victory over the team that took him first overall in the 2009 NFL Draft. It was the third time this season that the veteran gunslinger eclipsed 350 passing yards as he continues to show no signs of slowing down. The only concern lies with star WR Davante Adams (hamstring), who aggravated his nagging hamstring injury in the fourth quarter and did not return to the contest. If Adams is unable to make the short turnaround for Thursday's tilt against the Seahawks, then Stafford may be forced to lean heavily on WR Puka Nacua in a tough road environment for Week 16.

Pineiro went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made all four of his PATs in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Titans.

Pineiro made his return to action after missing two contests with a right hamstring injury, making a 33-yard field goal in the second quarter before adding makes from 37 and 40 yards in the fourth. The kicker has now gone a perfect 25-for-25 on field-goal tries, including 6-for-6 from 50-plus yards, over 11 games with the 49ers this season.

Grupe connected on all three field-goal attempts, including a 60-yarder, and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.

The 60-yard field goal briefly gave Indianapolis a one-point lead with less than a minute to play, though Seattle drove back down for a clutch field goal of its own to win it. Grupe also made a 54-yarder and a 42-yarder in this one, as he stayed perfect across two games with the Colts since replacing Michael Badgley. Though Grupe missed eight field goals in 11 games with the Saints earlier in the year, he seems to have found his groove with his new team.

McManus hit all four field-goal tries and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.

McManus connected on field goals from 53, 26, 35 and 37 yards, respectively. Though he missed six field goals earlier in the season, the kicker has now made eight in a row since returning to the lineup following a Week 11 quadriceps injury.

Williams caught seven of nine targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.

Williams continued his recent string of WR1 performances by nearly matching the season-best line of 7-144-1 he produced against the Packers in Week 13. The Alabama product is averaging 95.3 yards per game since Detroit's Week 8 bye, and that includes a zero-catch dud against the Giants. Amon-Ra St. Brown (13-164-2) also feasted against the Rams' secondary, proving that this passing attack can generate two fantasy stars simultaneously. Williams needs just 64 receiving yards against the Steelers next Sunday in order to reach the 1,000-yard plateau in consecutive seasons.

Kmet recorded two receptions on four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns.

Kmet finished fourth on the team in targets, notably one behind Colston Loveland. Kmet did manage a long reception of 17 yards, and both of his targets came deep in Cleveland territory. While there are some positives to take away from Kmet's performance, he remains a peripheral part of Chicago's offense.

Metchie caught four of five targets for 25 yards and rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Metchie has caught at least four passes in each of the past four games. He has carved out a steady role since coming over from Philadelphia via trade, but Metchie's ceiling remains capped by the Jets' inefficient quarterback play heading into a Week 16 trip to New Orleans.

Myers went 6-for-6 on field-goal tries in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.

Myers provided all of the offense for Seattle in Week 15, making field goals from 47 and 52 yards in the first half. He later added makes from 46, 32, 30 and 56 yards after the break, the last of which gave the Seahawks the lead with 18 seconds left in regulation. The kicker has now made at least three field goals in six consecutive contests, going 23-for-24 on field-goal attempts, including 5-for-6 from 50-plus yards, over that stretch.

Davis rushed nine times for 58 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Breece Hall (12 carries for 23 yards) played below his usual standards, allowing Davis to take on a larger role. Davis set a season high for carries and made the most of his added opportunities, with a 24-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter marking the backup running back's first score of the season. Hall will remain the Jets' lead back if healthy heading into a Week 16 road game against the Saints.

Mitchell caught six of nine targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars. He also rushed once for minus-4 yards.

Mitchell got the Jets on the board with a nine-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. The twitchy wide receiver has been targeted 40 times in five appearances for the Jets. Mitchell has been inconsistent while dealing with subpar quarterback play, but his mix of athleticism and target share will give the 52nd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft some enticing upside in Week 16 against the Saints, no matter whom the Jets tab as their starting quarterback.
