Etienne rushed 17 times for 76 yards and caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.

Both of Jacksonville's touchdowns came on Trevor Lawrence touchdown runs, as Etienne was held out of the end zone after scoring five rushing touchdowns and five receiving touchdowns over the previous seven games. Etienne has handled at least 15 touches in all but two games this season, and he's likely to see another hefty workload in Week 18 against the Titans. Jacksonville would clinch the AFC South crown with a win over Tennessee or a Texans loss to the Colts.

Walker posted 12 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Packers' 41-24 loss to the Ravens on Saturday.

Walker recorded double-digit stops for a second consecutive game and got to Tyler Huntley for a sack midway through the second quarter. Walker's efforts Saturday has him up to a career-high 128 tackles (58 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and five pass defenses through 14 regular-season games. The Packers are locked in as the seventh seed in the NFC, so Walker and the rest of the defensive starters could be rested or operate on a snap count against the Vikings in Week 18.

Iosivas caught four of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Cardinals.

The third-year wideout finished second on the Bengals in targets behind Ja'Marr Chase, although Iosivas was only fourth in receiving yards. Iosivas has struggled to make a consistent impact in 2025, but he'll head into a Week 18 tilt against the Browns needing six catches and 55 yards to set new career highs in those categories.

Gesicki caught both his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Cardinals.

The tight end caught multiple passes for the fifth time in the last six games, a stretch in which he's put together an 18-233-2 line on 24 targets. Gesicki isn't a key part of the Bengals' passing attack, but he's been an effective complementary option and will carry some momentum into a Week 18 clash with the Browns.

Singleton finished Thursday's 20-13 win over the Chiefs with four tackles (two solo).

Singleton played 42 of 43 defensive snaps (97.7 percent), but his four tackles were a season low. The veteran linebacker is up to 128 tackles (51 solo), including 1.0 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble through 15 regular-season games. The Broncos wrap up the regular season in Week 18 against the Chargers, when they'll look to lock up the No. 1 seed in the AFC heading into the playoffs.

Taylor rushed the ball 21 times for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Jaguars. He added three receptions on six targets for 14 yards.

The Jaguars boast one of the best run defenses in the league, and they made running room hard to come by for Taylor. His longest rush went for only 10 yards, though he still turned in a solid fantasy performance thanks to his volume of touches as well as a three-yard touchdown plunge early in the second quarter. Taylor now has 20 total touchdowns for the season and has at least 70 yards from scrimmage in five consecutive contests. It's unclear if the Colts will alter their backfield usage in Week 18 after being eliminated from playoff contention, but Taylor will face a very tough Texans run defense to close the 2025 campaign.

Evans brought in three of seven targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Evans was enduring a mostly miserable afternoon before he was able to secure a four-yard touchdown grab with just under a minute remaining to give the Buccaneers some fleeting hope. Otherwise, the perennial Pro Bowler was mostly a non-factor, albeit while crossing the 13,000-yard career mark on one of his earlier catches. Evans has back-to-back 31-yard, one-touchdown efforts, and the team he secured the first of those against, the Panthers, await in a Week 18 home matchup for Tampa Bay that presents a chance for the Bucs to still win the division, with a Week 18 win coupled with a Falcons loss in one of the next two games.

Butler (arm) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants.

Butler went to the locker room to have his arm injury evaluated by medical staff. Thomas Booker and JJ Pegues are in line for more snaps at defensive tackle alongside Jonah Laulu for as long as Butler is out of the game.

Henley posted 10 tackles (two solo) during the Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday.

Henley played every single defensive snap and tied a season high with 10 tackles during Saturday's loss. The third-year linebacker is now up to 102 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, marking the second year in a row in which he cracked 100-plus tackles in a season.

Higgins caught four of five targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 37-14 win over Arizona.

The 26-year-old wideout fell one yard shy of Ja'Marr Chase for the team lead, but his teammate bolstered his production with two TDs. Higgins has missed two of the last five games due to concussion issues, and on the season he's posted a 53-779-10 line on 89 targets through 14 contests. He needs one more touchdown to set a new career high, a mark he'll look to reach in Week 18 against the Browns.
