Mayfield completed 14 of 30 passes for 122 yards with a touchdown and an interception while adding six rushes for 42 yards in the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Mayfield's final line underscores the type of afternoon it was for the normally efficient veteran signal-caller, who surprisingly struggled to a 44.9 QBR in a game for which the Buccaneers were heavily favored. Mayfield connected with Bucky Irving for a 24-yard touchdown pass just before the midway point of the first quarter, but his one interception on a deep pass to Kameron Johnson early in the third quarter led to a Saints touchdown. Mayfield could get Mike Evans (IR, collarbone) back for a Week 15 home matchup against the Falcons on Thursday night to help the quarterback bounce back from his lowest passing yardage total in a non-injury-shortened game this season.

Neal rushed 19 times for 70 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Saints' 24-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Neal drew another start in place of Alvin Kamara (knee) and surprisingly found some running room against a normally stingy Buccaneers front. The rookie sixth-round pick set a new career high in rushing yardage and added a three-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter for his first career score. With the 3-10 Saints firmly in evaluation mode as head coach Kellen Moore's first season at the helm winds down, Neal could continue to see expanded opportunity irrespective of Kamara's availability down the stretch.

Henry rushed the ball 25 times for 94 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Steelers. He recorded one catch on two targets for eight yards.

Despite playing from a deficit for most of the game, the Ravens made a point of getting Henry involved in the offense, as his 25 carries were his highest mark of the season. He's had considerable success against the Steelers in the past, totaling 348 yards on the ground over his last two matchups, though the Pittsburgh defense got the better end of things Sunday by limiting him to only 3.8 yards per carry. Henry still managed a few chunk gains of 19 and nine yards, topping 100 yards from scrimmage for the third time in his last four games in the process.

Olave brought in three of five targets for 30 yards in the Saints' 24-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Olave played through a back issue for the second straight week and put together a modest performance by his lofty standards, although Devaughn Vele was the Saints' leader in receiving yards with just 10 more than Olave. The fourth-year wideout's yardage tally was his second lowest of the season, but Olave managed to keep his season-long streak of no less than three catches in any game alive. Olave next takes aim at the Panthers secondary in a Week 15 home clash next Sunday.

Thomas (calf) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup versus Denver.

Thomas is done for the day after exiting the game in the second half. With Michael Mayer out with an ankle injury, Brock Bowers and Carter Runyon are now the only healthy tight ends available for the Raiders.

Smith exited Sunday's game against the Broncos after sustaining a right hand injury.

With Smith headed to the locker room, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Kenny Pickett is in at QB for the Raiders. Aidan O'Connell was designated the team's emergency No 3 QB on Sunday. Prior to his departure, Smith completed 13 of his 21 pass attempts for 116 yards and a TD and carried once for four yards.

Knox caught six of seven targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals.

On a cold, snowy day in Buffalo, Josh Allen leaned heavily on his tight ends to move the ball. Knox led the Bills in catches, targets and receiving yards, while Dalton Kincaid -- returning from a three-game absence due to lower-body injuries -- and Jackson Hawes each caught a touchdown. Knox's six grabs and 93 yards were both season highs and his best performance in three years, coming in just short of a 6-98-1 line in Week 15 of the 2022 season against the Dolphins. With Kincaid back in action, though, Knox is likely to see his role as a receiver shrink in Week 15 of the current campaign against the Patriots.

Welch (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Bears.

Welch took a blow to the head in the divisional battle and he'll now enter concussion protocol ahead of Week 15. In the meantime, his absence doesn't carry any impact on the Packers' defense versus Chicago.

Kincaid caught four of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals.

After missing the prior three games with hamstring and knee issues, Kincaid made an immediate impact in his return to action, hauling in a five-yard TD in the third quarter. Josh Allen leaned heavily on all his tight ends given the cold, snowy conditions -- Dawson Knox led the Bills with six catches and 93 receiving yards, while No. 3 TE Jackson Hawes also caught a touchdown. A healthy Kincaid might be Allen's favorite target, however, and through nine games this season he's established a new career high with five TDs, along with 33 catches on 41 targets for 489 yards. He'll look to build on this performance in Week 15 against the Patriots.

Williams caught two of three targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins. He also had three punt returns for 91 yards and a touchdown, as well as two kickoff returns for 69 yards.

Williams' 78-yard punt return touchdown in the first quarter accounted for the Jets' only touchdown of the game, though they had already fallen into a 21-0 hole prior to that point. He also scored a punt return touchdown in Week 10 against the Browns. Williams also saw more involvement than usual on offense, catching multiple passes for only the second time this season.
