Nix completed 29 of 45 pass attempts for 321 yards, one touchdown and one interception while gaining 16 yards on two carries in Sunday's 27-26 overtime win over Washington.

Nix required the extra overtime period in order to put away the now 3-9 Commanders and extend the Broncos' current win streak to nine games. The 45 attempts and 321 passing yards marked the second-highest totals in each respective category for the sophomore signal-caller through 12 starts this year. The Oregon product hasn't taken a step forward from his promising rookie totals in 2024, but he has maintained steady fantasy value with modest passing yardage numbers to go along with 20 combined touchdowns to 10 turnovers. Nix will attempt to clean up the two interceptions he threw against the Raiders back in Week 10 when these two AFC West rivals face off again next Sunday.

Ayomanor recorded one reception on five targets for five yards in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Jaguars.

Ayomanor returned from a one-game absence caused by a hamstring injury and immediately occupied a key role in the offense as one of four pass catchers with at least five targets. His only catch came early in the second quarter, and he has only three receptions for 16 yards on 11 targets in his last two contests.

Okonkwo recorded four receptions on five targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Jaguars.

Okonkwo has been out-targeted by rookie tight end Gunnar Helm for the last two weeks, but he's still maintained a key role in the Tennessee offense. Okonkwo led the Titans in receiving yards -- albeit with a modest total -- thanks to a pair of catches on Tennessee's opening drive that went for a combined 22 yards. He now has at least three receptions in three straight games since the team's bye, topping 40 yards on two occasions in that span.

Helm recorded six receptions on seven targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Jaguars.

Helm continues to emerge in the Tennessee offense, and he led the team in targets for the second consecutive week. That's particularly notable because the Titans welcomed back Elic Ayomanor in Sunday's loss, adding competition for targets. While Helm didn't do much with the opportunity, he finished third on the team in yards and tied for the team lead in receptions and should continue to remain heavily involved across the second half of his rookie campaign.

Davis took nine carries for 62 yards without being targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Steelers.

Davis added 15 yards on his only kick return, failing to recreate the electricity from last week's return TD against the Texans. The 25-year-old backup instead stood out by outproducing his entire rushing yardage total from his 11 previous appearances in one contest. Davis had reached nine carries just twice prior to Week 13, with both occurrences coming in blowouts just like Sunday's. Fantasy managers can safely ignore Davis ahead of next Sunday's tilt against the Bengals.

Szmyt did not attempt a field goal or a PAT in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers.

Szmyt went without a field-goal try for the first time this year, and he didn't garner an extra-point attempt for the first time since Week 6. The rookie will look to get back on track in Week 14 against the Titans, in what may be the Browns' most winnable remaining contest this season.

Smyth made his lone field-goal attempt in the Saints' 21-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

With Blake Grupe cut following a disastrous season, Smyth got the elevation from the practice squad over Cade York. Sunday marked Smyth's NFL debut, and he drilled a 56-yard field goal right down the middle with plenty of room to spare. Smyth was also successful with an onside kick in the fourth quarter to give the Saints the ball down by four points with 1:15 to play. New Orleans turned the ball over on downs after a five-play possession.

Carlson did not attempt a field goal and went 2-for-2 on PATs in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Chargers.

Carlson went without a field-goal try for the second time this season and first time since Week 7. The kicker has now been limited to one or zero field-goal attempts in four of the last six contests overall. Carlson will look to get back on track in a tough matchup against Denver in Week 14.

Fitzgerald converted his lone field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries in Carolina's 31-28 win over the Rams on Sunday.

Fitzgerald was good from 33 yards in the second quarter, giving the Panthers a 17-14 lead. The rookie kicker has had an inconsistent first season, but he was a perfect five-for-five on his kicks against Los Angeles. On the season, Fitzgerald has made 19 of 23 field-goal tries and 20 of 23 extra-point attempts.

Coleman secured two of three targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Steelers.

After being a healthy scratch in Buffalo's last two contests due to disciplinary reasons, Coleman made a triumphant return to the lineup by catching the only touchdown pass for either side in Sunday's win. It was a low-volume passing day overall, with no Bills player recording more than three receptions or 33 yards. Coleman's three targets finished in a tie for fourth among his teammates, making it tough to gauge the wideout's role moving forward. Now that he is out of head coach Sean McDermott's doghouse, Coleman can at least be viewed as a deep-league option in Week 14 against the Bengals.
