Al-Shaair had six tackles and an interception in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers in Week 17.

Al-Shaair, who returned to action after a one-week absence due to an ankle injury, made momentum-shifting play late in the second quarter. With the Texans leading 14-3, and Los Angeles threatening inside the red zone, he picked off a deflected Justin Herbert pass at the one-yard line. It was the second interception in Al-Shaair's last three games.

Hutchinson caught two of three targets for 21 yards in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers in Week 17. He also had one carry for eight yards.

Hutchinson continued in a minor offensive role over the second half of the season. During Houston's eight-game win streak, he has nine receptions on 19 targets for 122 yards.

Noel caught three of four targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers in Week 17. He also had one carry for two yards.

It was a big day for Houston's rookie wideouts, as both Noel and Jayden Higgins scored on the team's first two possessions. With Los Angeles' defense paying extra attention to Nico Collins, Noel was one-on-one and beat Elijah Molden deep on a post route for a 43-yard score. It was the second touchdown of the season for the rookie, whose inconsistent production from week to week makes him a hard start for fantasy managers. Noel has seven receptions on 10 targets for 82 yards over the last seven games.

Kirk caught two of five targets for one yard in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers in Week 17.

Kirk led the Texans in targets, but it didn't translate to meaningful production, and his 29 snaps the fourth most among the team's wideouts. His profile in the offense was minimized weeks ago, as rookie Jayden Higgins moved ahead of Kirk, who has been dogged by injuries in 2025. Houston's shift to a ball-control attack also played a role in minimizing Kirk's output. He has just 44 receiving yards over the last five games.

Chubb had one carry for one yard on five snaps in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers in Week 17.

Chubb was impacted by the presence of Woody Marks (44 snaps), who returned to the lineup following a one-game absence due to an ankle injury. A playing time split that favored Marks is not surprising, but that Chubb finished behind Jawhar Jordan (11 snaps) is a more recent development, one that started Week 16. Chubb has just eight carries and one reception for a combined 46 yards from scrimmage over the last three games.

Tune completed one of four passes for eight yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens.

Malik Willis (shoulder) started and played the majority of Saturday's game, though he was forced to exit late in the fourth quarter. Tune entered in relief and threw an interception on his first attempt, despite hitting his receiver on the hands with the pass. His lone completion went to Emanuel Wilson. Tune could be in line to start in Week 18 if the Packers don't have playoff seeding to play for.

Mitchell rushed the ball nine times for 31 yards in Saturday's 41-24 win over the Packers. He added two receptions on two targets for seven yards.

Derrick Henry headlined the Baltimore offense and dominated touches out of the backfield, though Mitchell continued to serve as the complementary back. Mitchell reached double-digit touches for the first time this season in a run-heavy game script for Baltimore, though it still wasn't a particularly noteworthy fantasy performance. He could get some additional opportunity in Week 18 if the Ravens are eliminated from playoff contention.

Andrews recorded four receptions on four targets for 28 yards in Saturday's 41-24 win over the Packers.

Andrews finished second on the team in targets, though there was limited opportunity due to Baltimore attempting only 20 passes. Tyler Huntley also worked almost exclusively in short areas of the field, limiting Andrews' longest reception to only nine yards. He now has fewer than 30 receiving yards in four straight contests and in five of his last six matchups.

Reed recorded four receptions on four targets for 41 yards in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens.

Reed finished second on the team with four targets, though the majority of that opportunity came in short areas of the field. The exception was a deep target down the right sideline that went for 30 yards early in the third quarter, ultimately helping to set up a field goal for the Packers. While Reed plays an important role in the offense, he's been held below 50 yards from scrimmage in three of four games since recovering from a collarbone injury.

Doubs recorded three receptions on three targets for 62 yards in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens.

Doubs wasn't prioritized among the Packers' pass catchers, as he was one of five pass catchers with at least three targets. He was efficient with his opportunity thanks primarily to a 40-yard reception midway through the first quarter, Green Bay's longest play from scrimmage. Doubs has at least 60 yards in consecutive games, the first time he's accomplished that feat this season.
