Abraham Lucas OT | SEA
Seahawks' Abraham Lucas: Back in action
Lucas (shoulder) has returned to action Sunday against the Colts, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Lucas was briefly sidelined with a shoulder issue, but he has now made his way back out onto the field before the conclusion of the first half. The 27-year-old is operating in his typical starting role at right tackle versus Indianapolis.

Demetrius Knight Jr. LB | CIN
Bengals' Demetrius Knight: Notches first two career sacks
Knight had 2.0 sacks and notched six tackles in total against the Ravens on Sunday.
It's been a tumultuous rookie season for Knight, but he provided a few highlights on what was otherwise a dreadful day for the Bengals. He's now up to 96 tackles on the season and will have his hands full next week against De'Von Achane and the Dolphins.

Brock Bowers TE | LV
Raiders' Brock Bowers: Does little with six catches
Bowers brought in six of eight targets for 28 yards in the Raiders' 31-0 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Bowers led the Raiders in receptions, targets and even receiving yards on an afternoon during which Kenny Pickett netted just 64 yards on his 15 completions. The talented tight end's production has been capped to an extent this season due to Las Vegas' suboptimal quarterback situation, but Bowers will still head into a tough Week 16 road matchup against the Texans next Sunday afternoon with at least four receptions in five consecutive games.

Devin Neal RB | NO
Saints' Devin Neal: Hurts hamstring Sunday
Neal sustained a hamstring injury during Sunday's contest versus the Panthers.
After scoring a four-yard TD run in the second quarter, Neal was seen going to the locker room before the Saints announced that he was questionable to return. He's been helming the Saints backfield during Alvin Kamara's (knee/ankle) ongoing three-game absence, and if Neal isn't able to retake the field Sunday, Evan Hull and Audric Estime will be the RBs available to the offense.

Andrei Iosivas WR | CIN
Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Shut out in loss
Iosivas failed to bring in his only target during the Bengals' 24-0 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
This was a hugely disappointing effort considering that the Bengals were playing without Tee Higgins (concussion). The Ravens' pass rush wreaked havoc against quarterback Joe Burrow, and Burrow targeted Ja'Marr Chase nearly every time he dropped back.

Zach Tom G | GB
Packers' Zach Tom: Dealing with knee injury
Tom (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Broncos.
Tom suffered a knee injury late in the second quarter, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. Darian Kinnard and Anthony Belton are top candidates to take over at right tackle in his absence.

Theo Johnson TE | NYG
Giants' Theo Johnson: Leading receiver in Week 15 loss
Johnson caught three of four targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders.
The second-year tight end led the Giants in receiving yards on the day, as he topped 70 yards for the third time in the last five games. Johnson is quietly having a breakout campaign despite the struggles of the rest of the team, putting together a 45-528-5 line on 72 targets through 14 contests. He'll look to keep rolling in a Week 16 clash with the Vikings.

Caleb Williams QB | CHI
Bears' Caleb Williams: Efficient in easy victory
Williams completed 17 of 28 passes for 242 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns. He added three rushes for 13 yards.
Williams had one of the more efficient showings of his career, averaging a solid 8.6 yards per attempt while also completing four passes of at least 20 yards. The highlight of his performance came on a 22-yard touchdown connection with DJ Moore, when Williams split two defenders on a throw to the corner of the end zone while fading away on a rollout midway through the third quarter. The only thing slowing Williams down was game script, as he attempted only 10 passes in the second half with the Bears up by three scores for most of that span. He now has multiple touchdowns in three of his last four games, with this marking his highest yardage total since Week 9.

Darius Slayton WR | NYG
Giants' Darius Slayton: Four catches against Commanders
Slayton caught four of 10 targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 29-21 loss to Washington.
The 10 targets were a season high for Slayton, but the volume didn't lead to much production. The veteran wideout has a mediocre 30-460-1 line on 50 targets through 11 games on the season, giving him little fantasy appeal heading into a Week 16 meeting with the Vikings.

Abraham Lucas OT | SEA
Seahawks' Abraham Lucas: Suffers shoulder injury
Lucas (shoulder) is questionable to return to Seattle's matchup versus the Colts on Sunday.
Lucas is currently being evaluated by the team's medical staff after sustaining a shoulder injury in the first half of Sunday's game. Josh Jones will take over at right tackle if Lucas ends up being unable to return.
