Emeka Egbuka WR | TB
Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Big gain on one catch Sunday
Egbuka brought in one of two targets for 40 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Egbuka needed just his one catch to secure the team lead in receiving yards on a day when Baker Mayfield was under the 200-yard mark for the third time in four games. Despite the splash play, fantasy managers have to be disappointed with Egbuka's stretch-run swoon, considering he's been at 42 receiving yards or fewer in five of the last six contests. Egbuka will be a relatively risky option on championship week for many fantasy leagues despite his favorable matchup against the Dolphins on the road next Sunday.

Bijan Robinson RB | ATL
Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Posts WR1 numbers Sunday
Robinson rushed 16 times for 76 yards while adding seven receptions on 11 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 win over Arizona.
Robinson split backfield work nearly evenly with backup Tyler Allgeier (16-79-0) in Sunday's road win, but it was the former's work as a receiver that ultimately led to a standout fantasy performance. The 23-year-old Robinson has been generating WR1-type production over Atlanta's last two contests (15-174-1) while reaching double-digit targets in each game. The dual-threat superstar eclipsed the 2,000-yard mark in total yards from scrimmage with Sunday's balanced output. Robinson should continue playing a huge role in the Falcons' late-season boon on offense when the team hosts the Rams for Monday Night Football in Week 17.

Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Does little with five catches
Godwin brought in five of six targets for 30 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Godwin was able to draw even with Mike Evans for the team lead in receptions and was second to his teammate in targets, but he once again was contained to a very modest yardage total. Godwin has eclipsed 55 receiving yards just once in seven games, making him a risky fantasy proposition in a Week 17 road matchup against the Dolphins despite the favorable matchup.

Trent Brown OT | HOU
Texans' Trent Brown: Was questionable to return
Brown (knee) was listed as questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Brown sustained a knee injury late in the fourth quarter and did not return to the contest. Tytus Howard filled in at right tackle during Brown's absence and would be set to start Week 17 against the Chargers if Brown is unable to suit up.

Harold Landry LB | NE
Patriots' Harold Landry: Suiting up Sunday night
Landry (knee) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Ravens.
The linebacker was listed as questionable even though he's been playing through a knee issue since late November, and he's going to play through it again Sunday night. Landry has 48 tackles (27 solo), including 8.5 sacks, and a forced fumble on the year.

Caleb Rogers OT | LV
Raiders' Caleb Rogers: Questionable with quad
Rogers (quad) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans.
Rogers went down with a quad injury late in the fourth quarter. The right guard typically plays snaps where the Raiders offense uses an extra offensive lineman, and if he is unable to return, Alex Cappa will likely fill his role for the offense.

Aireontae Ersery OT | HOU
Texans' Aireontae Ersery: Questionable to return
Ersery (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Ersery left the game late in the fourth quarter after suffering a hand injury. The starting left tackle, who was tasked with defending Maxx Crosby most of the night, will be replaced by Trent Brown.

Pat Bryant WR | DEN
Broncos' Pat Bryant: Hurt on big hit
Bryant (undisclosed) was carted off the field late in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.
Bryant remained down on the field after taking a big hit (which was ruled clean) from a defender in the final minute. Prior to getting injured, Bryant caught five of eight targets for 42 yards. The exact nature of Bryant's injury has yet to be revealed, but James Palmer of The Athletic reports that Bryant left the stadium in an ambulance, so the rookie wide receiver's chances of suiting up Thursday against the Chiefs appear slim.

Marcus Jones CB | NE
Patriots' Marcus Jones: Active Sunday night
Jones (knee) is active for Sunday night's game against the Ravens.
The nickel cornerback and punt returner missed practice Wednesday and was listed as questionable going into Sunday, though he did say Friday that he planned on playing, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. Jones should resume his normal roles now that he's officially good to go.
