Pacheco rushed nine times for 32 yards and wasn't targeted in the Chiefs' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.

Pacheco saw two more carries than backfield mate Kareem Hunt but gained six fewer yards. The fourth-year back was stymied more frequently than even his 3.6 yards per carry suggests, as outside of a 13-yard game-long run, Pacheco netted just 19 yards on his other eight rush attempts. The Rutgers product will be looking to snap an unfavorable streak in the Week 18 road matchup against the Raiders to close out the season, one that's seen Pacheco fail to clear 40 rushing yards in five consecutive games.

Worthy failed to bring in any of his three targets and rushed once for one yard in the Chiefs' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.

Even with Rashee Rice and fellow deep threat Tyquan Thornton on injured reserve due to concussions, Worthy was unable to break through on the stat sheet. The 2024 first-round pick's blanking as a wideout was his second of the season, and he'll have nowhere to go but up in a Week 18 road matchup against the Raiders to close out the regular season.

Kelce brought in five of six targets for 36 yards in the Chiefs' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.

Kelce was Chris Oladokun's favorite target by far, leading to the veteran tight end recording team highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Kelce fared much better than in his first game without Patrick Mahomes (IR, knee) in Week 16 against the Titans, and another week of practice with his young quarterback could lead to a solid finish to an otherwise disappointing season in a Week 18 road matchup against the Raiders.

Oladokun completed 13 of 22 passes for 66 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding two rushes for 11 yards in the Chiefs' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.

The journeyman signal-caller didn't have a bright outlook coming into Thursday's game given the matchup and his inexperience, but even in that context. Oladokun's microscopic passing yardage total was jarring. However, he was sacked just once and didn't turn the ball over, and he connected with Brashard Smith from five yards out for his first NFL touchdown pass. Oladokun figures to be under center again in a Week 18 road matchup against the Raiders to close out the season.

Reichard converted all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries Thursday in a 23-10 win over Detroit.

All three of Reichard's field goals came in the second half. He nailed a 52-yarder and 56-yarder late in the third quarter, then put the final touches on the Vikings victory with a 42-yarder late in the fourth. Reichard hasn't missed a FG try since Week 8 and is an impressive 30-for-32 on the season while making all 30 of his point-after attempts.

Bates made his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try in Thursday's Christmas Day loss to Minnesota.

Minnesota's defense mostly stymied Detroit's offense, capping Bates' kicking opportunities. He did make a 48-yard field goal with under five minutes remaining in the game to end with a tolerable fantasy score. Bates is 23-for-29 on FG attempts and 53-for-55 on PATs on the season.

Moody went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries Thursday in a Week 17 loss to Dallas.

Moody's first two field goals were relative chip shots, coming from 29 and 23 yards out. However, he came through on a big 51-yarder with just over two minutes remaining in the game to keep the Commanders' hopes of a comeback alive. Moody remains almost perfect since making his Washington debut Week 13, going 9-for-9 on FG tries and 7-for-8 of PATs. Moody's 51-yarder Thursday was his first FG make of 50-plus yards this season.

Aubrey made three of four field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Thursday's 30-23 win over Washington.

Aubrey's first field goal was a 42-yarder just before halftime. He then made a 52-yarder and a 51-yarder in the second half, though he also missed a 58-yard attempt early in the fourth quarter. Despite that miss, the big-legged kicker continued to show his almost limitless range -- he's now 11-for-16 on FG tries from 50-plus yards this season, including 3-for-4 from 60-plus yards.

Williams (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Baltimore, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.

Williams was able to log back-to-back limited practices to end the week, but he'll remain sidelined in Week 17. The offensive lineman will have one more chance to make his NFL debut in the regular season against the Vikings on Jan. 4.

Rhyan (knee) is questionable to play Saturday versus the Ravens, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.

Rhyan was a limited participant at the team's first official practice Wednesday before sitting out Thursday's session. The offensive lineman is dealing with a knee issue, and if he's unavailable for Week 17, Jacob Monk would be the top candidate to start at center against Baltimore.
