Bowers caught all four of his targets for 63 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Chargers.

Bowers tied the game at a touchdown apiece with a six-yard touchdown catch shortly after the two-minute warning in the second quarter, then secured a spectacular one-handed catch for another six-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. The 2024 first-round pick missed the entire month of October due to a knee injury but bounced back in November, catching 30 of 41 targets for 348 yards and five touchdowns across five games. Bowers should continue to work as the top option in the Raiders' passing game against the Broncos in Week 14.

Evans caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Rams.

Evans led the Panthers' tight-end corps in targets, receptions and yards during Sunday's upset win, while Ja'Tavion Sanders (no targets) and Tommy Tremble (one catch for two yards on two targets) saw minimal involvement. Evans, a 2025 fifth-round pick from Notre Dame, has now caught 14 of 18 targets for 138 yards and two touchdowns through 13 contests this season. His role could continue to grow within Carolina's offense as the year progresses.

Legette caught one of two targets for one yard in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Rams.

The second-year pro from South Carolina didn't benefit from the Panthers' run-heavy approach (40 rush attempts) during Sunday's win, failing to reach double-digit receiving yards for the third time this season. When Carolina did pass, Legette was outshined by Jalen Coker and Tetairoa McMillan, who combined to catch five of eight targets for 117 yards and two touchdowns. Legette now has 28 catches on 53 targets for 287 yards and three touchdowns through 11 games, and his week-to-week volatility makes him a risky fantasy option for the remainder of the year.

Bradford (elbow) did not sustain a significant injury in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Bradford suffered an elbow injury in the second half, ultimately being ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Head coach Mike Macdonald said following the game that the offensive lineman's injury "isn't serious" and that it was just significant enough for him to not finish the game.

Jones will have his shoulder injury evaluated further, head coach Kevin O'Connell said after Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Seahawks, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Jones exited in the second half due to a shoulder injury and didn't return to the game. Prior to getting hurt, he rushed six times for three yards, caught all four of his targets for 22 yards and lost a fumble. If Jones is unable to play against the Commanders in Week 14, Jordan Mason would likely lead Minnesota's backfield, with Zavier Scott working in a change-of-pace role.

Jobe (head) may have avoided a concussion in Sunday's 26-0 win over Minnesota, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Jobe exited the game in the fourth quarter after sustaining a significant blow to the head, but head coach Mike Macdonald described the cornerback as "fine" after the contest. Jobe's status at practice will still be worth monitoring in the coming days.

Brosmer completed 19 of 30 pass attempts for 126 yards and four interceptions while losing one yard on his only carry in Sunday's 26-0 loss to Seattle.

The undrafted rookie got the nod under center for the Vikings with both J.J. McCarthy (concussion) and Carson Wentz (shoulder) sidelined for a brutal road matchup against the Seahawks. Brosmer played like a third-string quarterback by committing four turnovers, the first of which was returned for a touchdown in the second quarter. The 24-year-old struggled to develop chemistry with superstar WR Justin Jefferson, completing just two passes for four yards on four looks to his top target. Brosmer did little in Sunday's shutout to generate a potential quarterback controversy once McCarthy is cleared for action. If the latter clears the league's concussion protocol ahead of next Sunday's tilt versus Washington, then Brosmer will surely be sent back to the bench.

Kelly suffered a hip flexor injury in Sunday's 26-0 loss to Seattle, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Kelly exited the game in the second half with a hip issue, which is now understood to be a flexor problem. The 32-year-old will be reevaluated in the coming days, but if he is forced to miss any action moving forward, Michael Jurgens could stand to operate as the team's starting center.

Thornton (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Chargers.

Thornton took a blow to the head in the second half, and he is now officially done for the day with a concussion. The wide receiver caught one of two targets for 11 yards prior to his departure.

Bosa (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Steelers.

Bosa appears to have sustained a hamstring injury in the second half of the game, and his status for the rest of the night is now in question. Prior to his departure, the defensive end most notably secured a strip sack of Aaron Rodgers on the first play of the third quarter, a fumble which was returned for a touchdown by cornerback Christian Benford.
