Tipton totaled zero targets during Sunday's 24-20 victory over the Buccaneers.

Tipton has moved into the WR3 role since the Saints let go Brandin Cooks three weeks ago. The 25-year-old logged exactly three catches on four targets in each of the previous two games, but he did not show up on the stat sheet versus Tampa Bay other than a 54-yard return on the opening kickoff. Quarterback Tyler Shough fell well below his average number of passing attempts with just 20 in Week 14. However, Tipton's playing time also took a hit, falling to 45 percent of the offensive snaps after playing 70-plus in each of the previous two contests. Tipton's limited role shouldn't warrant much, if any, attention from fantasy owners. New Orleans will next play versus the Panthers in Week 15.

Smith tallied 10 tackles (four solo), including one stop for a loss, during the Ravens' 27-22 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Smith and Kyle Hamilton were the only two Ravens defenders to play every single snap Sunday, and the former finished with double-digit tackles for a third consecutive game and the seventh time this season. Smith is now up to 100 total tackles through 11 regular-season games, and the 2018 first-rounder has cracked the tackling century mark in each of his eight campaigns in the NFL.

Bates logged two solo tackles during the Falcons' 37-9 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Bates was one of three Falcons defenders to play every single snap Sunday, but the veteran safety tied a season low with just two stops. He is now up to 77 combined tackles through 13 regular-season games, and he has four more games to crack the tackling century mark for the sixth time in his career and for a third consecutive season.

Pipkins (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday night's contest against the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Pipkins suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter, and his night has now officially come to a premature end. Bobby Hart will remain in his place at right tackle versus Philadelphia.

Dickerson (calf) has returned to Monday's game against the Chargers, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Dickerson went to the locker room in the second quarter to have his calf injury evaluated. He's been cleared by the medical staff to return, and he'll reclaim his spot at left guard while Brett Toth goes back to the bench.

Hughes tallied six solo tackles and an interception during the Falcons' 37-9 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Hughes picked off a Sam Darnold pass that was tipped by A.J. Terrell early in the second quarter, though the Falcons weren't able to convert the turnover into points after Zane Gonzalez's 50-yard field goal was blocked by Nick Emmanwori. Not only was it Hughes' first interception of the season, but it was also his first pick since Week 1 of the 2021 campaign as a member of the Chiefs. The veteran corner is up to 51 tackles (40 solo) and seven pass defenses through 11 regular-season games.

Hill recorded two rushing attempts for minus-1 yard, and he failed to haul in either of his two targets during Sunday's 24-20 win against the Buccaneers.

Hill tallied two touches for the second week in a row. The 35-year-old played a season-high 41 percent of the offensive snaps, but he's been largely irrelevant since his 2025 debut in Week 5. Over nine games, Hill is now averaging 0.4 receptions and 3.9 rushing attempts while totaling 10.8 yards per game. His low volume and inefficiency should continue to make Hill a non-factor for fantasy owners. New Orleans will next play Week 15 versus Carolina on Sunday, Dec. 14.

The 49ers claimed Wallow off waivers Monday.

Wallow was waived by the Broncos on Saturday after playing seven games with the team. He missed some time time earlier this season due to a hamstring injury but appears to be past the issue after suiting up in each of Denver's past two games prior to being cut. Wallow played primarily on special teams while with the Broncos and could be used in a similar role with San Francisco.

Molden (hamstring) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Eagles, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Molden went to the locker room before halftime, and he is having his hamstring evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Monday's game. The Chargers will likely move Derwin James to safety and deploy Tarheeb Still in the slot corner position for as long as Molden is out of the game.

Winfield tallied five tackles (four solo) and a pass defense during the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Winfield was one of four Bucs defenders to play every single defensive snap Sunday, and he finished in a three-way tie for the second-most tackles on the team behind Christian Izien (eight). Winfield has logged at least five tackles in four straight games, and for the year he has accumulated 68 tackles (42 solo), including 1.0 sacks, seven pass defenses (two interceptions), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 13 regular-season games.
