Dont'e Thornton Jr. LV WR
Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Not targeted against Philadelphia
2h agoThornton failed to record a single target in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles.
Thornton played just eight of the Raiders' 42 offensive snaps, behind fellow wide receivers Tre Tucker (39), Jack Bech (34) and Tyler Lockett (32). The rookie wideout has had an underwhelming start to his career, recording just eight receptions on 25 targets for 123 yards in 12 appearances. Thornton should continue to develop, but it appears the Raiders are unlikely to expand his role in the final stretch of the season. The Tennessee product remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Texans.
-
Tre Tucker LV WR
Raiders' Tre Tucker: Held catchless in blowout loss
3h agoTucker failed to secure any of his three targets in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles.
Tucker was held without a catch for the first time all season, despite playing 93 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps, the most of any Las Vegas pass catcher. The 24-year-old wideout has been quiet in recent weeks, failing to score a touchdown or record at least 30 receiving yards since Week 11. Tucker's lack of significant production is directly tied to the Raiders' offensive struggles as a whole, which has limited the upside of most Las Vegas skill position players with the exception of tight end Brock Bowers. The Cincinnati product is best left out of fantasy lineups down the stretch, and he'll have a tough test in Week 16 when the Raiders visit the Texans and their formidable defense.
-
KeAndre Lambert-Smith LAC WR
Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Scores first career touchdown
3h agoLambert-Smith caught his lone target for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Chiefs.
Lambert-Smith's trip to the end zone accounted for the only touchdown scored by the Chargers in the contest and the first touchdown of his career. With teammate Quentin Johnston (groin) inactive, the rookie wideout played 21 of the Chargers' 66 offensive snaps, his largest snap share of the season. Lambert-Smith made the most of his limited playing time by finding the end zone, but the Auburn product should not be trusted for fantasy purposes, even in a plus matchup against the Cowboys in Week 16.
-
Tyquan Thornton KC WR
Chiefs' Tyquan Thornton: In concussion protocol after loss
3h agoThornton (concussion) caught two of three targets for 47 yards before exiting the contest early in the fourth quarter due to a helmet-to-helmet hit during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers.
Thornton played 31 of the Chiefs' 61 offensive snaps in the contest, behind Rashee Rice (52), Xavier Worthy (41) and Juju Smith-Schuster (32). With Hollywood Brown (personal) inactive, the 25-year-old Thornton saw a 51 percent snap share, his largest since Week 3. His increased role Sunday led to a bump in production, but fantasy managers should monitor his status in the concussion protocol leading up to the Kansas City's Week 16 matchup against the Titans. Even if he clears the protocol, the Baylor product would remain difficult to trust for significant fantasy production against Tennessee, especially with quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) done for the season.
-
Devontez Walker BAL WR
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Not targeted in win
4h agoWalker failed to record a single target in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Bengals.
Walker was a complete non-factor Sunday despite playing a season-high 61 percent snap share. The second-year wideout played 25 of the Ravens' 41 offensive snaps in the contest, the second most snaps among wide receivers behind only Zay Flowers (32). The spike in Walker's playing time came on a day when teammate Rashod Bateman (ankle) was inactive. Even so, the North Carolina product was unable to earn any opportunities against Cincinnati. Walker is not a consideration for fantasy purposes as the Ravens host the Patriots in Week 16.
-
John FitzPatrick GB TE
Packers' John FitzPatrick: Three catches against Denver
5h agoFitzPatrick caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.
FitzPatrick finished Week 15 with yet another underwhelming performance despite leading all Packers tight ends in offensive snaps and posting season highs in targets, catches and yards. Teammate Luke Musgrave, however, was the better fantasy option, recording four receptions on six targets for 52 yards. Based on his limited production, FitzPatrick should remain far off the fantasy radar as the Packers get set to visit the Bears in Week 16.
-
Tyson Bagent CHI QB
Bears' Tyson Bagent: No longer under the weather
11h agoBagent (illness) was a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Bagent was unable to serve as Caleb Williams' backup quarterback during Sunday's win over the Browns due to an illness. By working in full Tuesday, Bagent is on track to be available against the Packers on Saturday, so Case Keenum will likely revert to the QB3 role.
-
Tua Tagovailoa MIA QB
Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Could be at risk of benching
15h agoDolphins head coach Mike McDaniel suggested Tuesday that he's considering benching Tagovailoa for the team's Week 16 game against the Bengals, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. "The quarterback play last night was not good enough," McDaniel said. "So for me, everything is on the table."
Tagovailoa turned in another uneven performance in Monday's 28-15 loss to the Steelers. While Tagovailoa completed 22 of 28 attempts for 253 yards and two touchdowns, the two scores came in garbage time, and he also lost 31 yards on four sacks and was intercepted on a deep ball intended for Jaylen Waddle midway through the first quarter. Prior to Monday's loss, the Dolphins had been riding a four-game winning streak, but the team's recent success could be mostly attributed to a potent De'Von Achane-led ground attack and an improved defense rather than Tagovailoa, who had posted a 3:3 TD:INT during that stretch and threw for under 200 yards in each of those contests. With Monday's loss ending the Dolphins' long-shot bid for the playoffs, McDaniel is exploring a change at quarterback, with Zach Wilson and Quinn Ewers looming as possible alternatives to Tagovailoa. McDaniel said he expects to reach a final decision on a Week 16 starter by Wednesday, and even if Tagovailoa ultimately retains the job, the mere consideration of a quarterback change suggests that the 27-year-old may not be viewed as the franchise's long-term answer. Tagovailoa is in the first season of a four-year, $212.4 million extension, and the Dolphins would have to absorb a $79.2 million dead-cap hit in order to get out from under his contract before 2027.
-
Adrian Martinez NYJ QB
Adrian Martinez: Waived from practice squad
17h agoThe Jets waived Martinez from the practice squad Tuesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.
Martinez was signed to the practice squad and elevated to the active roster in Week 15 to serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Brady Cook. The quarterback's waiving signals that at least one of either Tyrod Taylor (groin) or Justin Fields (knee) will be available for Sunday's game against the Saints. Martinez will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears will become a free agent.
-
Aaron Rodgers PIT QB
Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Picks apart Miami on MNF
1d agoRodgers completed 23 of 27 pass attempts for 224 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Monday's 28-15 win over the Dolphins.
Rodgers turned back the clock on Monday Night Football and put on a passing display reminiscent of his heydays in Green Bay. The 41-year-old completed a season-high 85 percent of his attempts in the decisive victory, while hurling multiple touchdown passes for the first time since Week 8 against the Packers -- coincidentally. Rodgers has strung together a pair of strong fantasy outings in favorable matchups, and he'll have another opportunity to produce a third against the Lions' 24th-ranked pass defense in Week 16.
-
Tua Tagovailoa MIA QB
Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Mixed bag in Week 15 loss
1d agoTagovailoa completed 22 of 28 passes for 253 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding one rush for one yard in the Dolphins' 28-15 loss to the Steelers on Monday.
Tagovailoa's final line was certainly useful from a fantasy perspective, considering his passing yardage total was his fourth highest of the season and his multi-touchdown tally was his first in the last four games. He connected with Darren Waller for both of his scoring tosses (six and 13 yards), although both, along with the majority of Tagovailoa's yardage, came in the fourth quarter with the game essentially out of reach. Tagovailoa had failed to reach the 200-yard mark through the air in four straight games before Monday, but he could once again compile some fantasy-friendly numbers in a Week 16 home matchup against the Bengals on Sunday.
-
Patrick Mahomes KC QB
Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Undergoes surgery
1d agoMahomes underwent surgery to repair his torn left ACL and LCL on Monday.
Mahomes was in Dallas on Monday to get a second opinion on his knee injury. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Mahomes tore the LCL in addition to the ACL in his left knee, making recovery potentially more complicated. The Chiefs noted that Mahomes' rehab will begin immediately, but a timeline for his return to the field has not been announced. Gardner Minshew will serve as the Chiefs' starter for the rest of the 2025 season.
-
Tank Bigsby PHI RB
Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Under the weather
10h agoBigsby (illness) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Bigsby is working through an illness to begin Week 16 prep, and he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Saturday's road tilt against the Commanders. The third-year running back is coming off his highest usage game of the regular season, when he turned 17 carries into 57 yards during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders, with 13 of those carries coming in the fourth quarter.
-
Christopher Brooks GB RB
Packers' Chris Brooks: Dealing with chest issue
11h agoBrooks (chest) was estimated as a limited participant for the Packers' walkthrough practice Tuesday.
Brooks was a bit more involved in the offense in Week 15 with Josh Jacobs playing through a lingering knee injury, but it looks like he might have hurt his chest during Sunday's game. He still has two more chances to log a full practice before Green Bay releases its final practice report of the week Thursday.
-
Travis Homer CHI RB
Bears' Travis Homer: Limited to open Week 16 prep
11h agoHomer (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Homer picked up an ankle injury during the Bears' Week 14 loss to the Packers, which prevented him from playing in Sunday's win over the Browns. He'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and give himself a chance to return for Saturday's NFC North tilt against Green Bay. When healthy, Homer has mostly contributed on special teams while providing backfield depth behind D'Andre Swift and rookie seventh-rounder Kyle Monangai.
-
Saquon Barkley PHI RB
Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Estimated as DNP due to stinger
11h agoBarkley (stinger) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.
The Eagles held a walkthrough Tuesday. It's unclear when Barkley suffered the injury, but he'll have a few more days to rest up and get ready for Saturday's game against the Commanders. Barkley is coming off a productive Week 15 against the Raiders, rushing for 78 yards and one touchdown on 22 carries, adding two catches for 14 yards on three targets. He'll be in another pristine spot against Washington's run defense this weekend should Barkley be cleared to play.
-
Chris Rodriguez Jr. WAS RB
Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Practicing fully ahead of Week 16
11h agoRodriguez (groin) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.
Rodriguez went DNP-limited-limited in practice last week and ended up being inactive for Sunday's win over the Giants. However, it now appears Rodriguez is ready to return to the lineup after missing one contest. Jacory Croskey-Merritt was impressive in Rodriguez's absence against the Giants, rushing for 82 yards and one touchdown on 10 carries. It will be interesting to see how Washington plans to divvy up early-down work between Rodrguez and Croskey-Merritt on Saturday against the Eagles.
-
RJ Harvey DEN RB
Broncos' RJ Harvey: Managing rib injury
12h agoHarvey didn't return to Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers after sustaining a rib injury on his final carry with 6:31 remaining in the fourth quarter, Jon Heath of USA Today reports.
Denver had labeled Harvey as questionable to return following the two-minute warning, but the rookie tailback ultimately didn't check back into the game for any of the Broncos' final four offensive plays. Head coach Sean Payton didn't provide many details on Harvey's health following the contest, but the Broncos' decision to claim another running back (Cody Schrader) off waivers from the Texans on Monday could be an indication that Harvey is dealing with more than a minor injury concern. Denver will hold its first Week 16 practice Wednesday, when more information should be available regarding Harvey's status for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.
-
Dont'e Thornton Jr. LV WR
Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Not targeted against Philadelphia
2h agoThornton failed to record a single target in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles.
Thornton played just eight of the Raiders' 42 offensive snaps, behind fellow wide receivers Tre Tucker (39), Jack Bech (34) and Tyler Lockett (32). The rookie wideout has had an underwhelming start to his career, recording just eight receptions on 25 targets for 123 yards in 12 appearances. Thornton should continue to develop, but it appears the Raiders are unlikely to expand his role in the final stretch of the season. The Tennessee product remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Texans.
-
Tre Tucker LV WR
Raiders' Tre Tucker: Held catchless in blowout loss
3h agoTucker failed to secure any of his three targets in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles.
Tucker was held without a catch for the first time all season, despite playing 93 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps, the most of any Las Vegas pass catcher. The 24-year-old wideout has been quiet in recent weeks, failing to score a touchdown or record at least 30 receiving yards since Week 11. Tucker's lack of significant production is directly tied to the Raiders' offensive struggles as a whole, which has limited the upside of most Las Vegas skill position players with the exception of tight end Brock Bowers. The Cincinnati product is best left out of fantasy lineups down the stretch, and he'll have a tough test in Week 16 when the Raiders visit the Texans and their formidable defense.
-
KeAndre Lambert-Smith LAC WR
Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Scores first career touchdown
3h agoLambert-Smith caught his lone target for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Chiefs.
Lambert-Smith's trip to the end zone accounted for the only touchdown scored by the Chargers in the contest and the first touchdown of his career. With teammate Quentin Johnston (groin) inactive, the rookie wideout played 21 of the Chargers' 66 offensive snaps, his largest snap share of the season. Lambert-Smith made the most of his limited playing time by finding the end zone, but the Auburn product should not be trusted for fantasy purposes, even in a plus matchup against the Cowboys in Week 16.
-
Tyquan Thornton KC WR
Chiefs' Tyquan Thornton: In concussion protocol after loss
3h agoThornton (concussion) caught two of three targets for 47 yards before exiting the contest early in the fourth quarter due to a helmet-to-helmet hit during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers.
Thornton played 31 of the Chiefs' 61 offensive snaps in the contest, behind Rashee Rice (52), Xavier Worthy (41) and Juju Smith-Schuster (32). With Hollywood Brown (personal) inactive, the 25-year-old Thornton saw a 51 percent snap share, his largest since Week 3. His increased role Sunday led to a bump in production, but fantasy managers should monitor his status in the concussion protocol leading up to the Kansas City's Week 16 matchup against the Titans. Even if he clears the protocol, the Baylor product would remain difficult to trust for significant fantasy production against Tennessee, especially with quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) done for the season.
-
Devontez Walker BAL WR
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Not targeted in win
4h agoWalker failed to record a single target in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Bengals.
Walker was a complete non-factor Sunday despite playing a season-high 61 percent snap share. The second-year wideout played 25 of the Ravens' 41 offensive snaps in the contest, the second most snaps among wide receivers behind only Zay Flowers (32). The spike in Walker's playing time came on a day when teammate Rashod Bateman (ankle) was inactive. Even so, the North Carolina product was unable to earn any opportunities against Cincinnati. Walker is not a consideration for fantasy purposes as the Ravens host the Patriots in Week 16.
-
Cody White SEA WR
Seahawks' Cody White: Full go in Tuesday's walkthrough
8h agoWhite (abdomen) was a full participant in Seattle's walkthrough Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
White appears to be healthy again after being limited during Monday's walkthrough due to an abdominal injury. The 27-year-old should continue to contribute on special teams while also seeing limited snaps on offense during Thursday's matchup versus the Rams.
-
John FitzPatrick GB TE
Packers' John FitzPatrick: Three catches against Denver
5h agoFitzPatrick caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.
FitzPatrick finished Week 15 with yet another underwhelming performance despite leading all Packers tight ends in offensive snaps and posting season highs in targets, catches and yards. Teammate Luke Musgrave, however, was the better fantasy option, recording four receptions on six targets for 52 yards. Based on his limited production, FitzPatrick should remain far off the fantasy radar as the Packers get set to visit the Bears in Week 16.
-
Luke Musgrave GB TE
Packers' Luke Musgrave: Targeted six times in loss
5h agoMusgrave caught four of six targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.
Musgrave reached season highs in targets, receptions and yards Sunday, as the 25-year-old tight end was a much bigger part of the Packers' offensive attack against the Broncos. With that said, the veteran played 52 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps while fellow tight end John FitzPatrick had a 70 percent snap share. Even with Musgrave's spike in targets over the past two weeks, he remains difficult to trust for significant fantasy production heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Bears.
-
Colson Yankoff WAS TE
Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Doesn't practice to begin week
10h agoYankoff (ankle) did not practice Tuesday, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.
Yankoff hurt his ankle Sunday against the Giants and apparently remains bothered by the issue. He'll almost certainly need to practice in some capacity by Thursday to have a chance of suiting up Saturday against Philadelphia. The Commanders are already shorthanded at tight end with Zach Ertz (knee) done for the season, so John Bates and Ben Sinnott are currently the team's only healthy players at the position.
-
Josh Whyle GB TE
Packers' Josh Whyle: Listed as DNP Tuesday
10h agoWhyle (concussion) was estimated as a non-participant for the Packers' walkthrough practice Tuesday.
Whyle suffered a concussion in the first quarter of Sunday's game at Denver, and now he's in jeopardy of missing Saturday's game at Chicago. He'll probably have to return to practice in some capacity Wednesday or Thursday to have any chance of playing in Week 16.
-
Cole Kmet CHI TE
Bears' Cole Kmet: Limited to kick off Week 16 prep
11h agoKmet was listed as a limited participant for Tuesday's walk-through practice due to ankle and knee injuries.
Kmet is tending to a pair of injuries after he played 48 of 66 offensive snaps and finished with two catches for 28 yards on four targets in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns. He'll have two more practices to prove his health in advance of this Saturday's game against the Packers, but the fact that he's being listed as limited rather than a non-participant on the Bears' initial Week 16 report suggests he's on track to play.
-
Noah Gray KC TE
Chiefs' Noah Gray: Blanked in box score
13h agoGray was not targeted during Sunday's 16-13 loss versus the Chargers.
Gray's 38 percent snap share was among the fewest he's played this season, and he finished the game without a target for just the second time this season as a result. With starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ACL) done for the season and Travis Kelce ahead of Gray on the depth chart, there's little to like in Gray's fantasy profile down the stretch. Even if Kelce opts to hang up the cleats this offseason, there is no guarantee the Chiefs view Gray as the replacement at the position in 2026.
-
Younghoe Koo NYG K
Younghoe Koo: Cut loose by Giants
12h agoThe Giants waived Koo on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
After being cut by the Falcons following Week 1, Koo has now been booted off a team's roster for the second time this season following another errant kicking performance. In this past Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders, Koo knocked down all three of point-after tries but failed to connect on field goals from 52 and 51 yards, with both attempts missing by fair margins. Altogether, Koo missed three kicks (two field goals, one extra point) on 18 attempts during his five-game run as New York's kicker. The Giants are expected to elevate or sign Ben Sauls off the practice squad to take over as their new kicker beginning with this Sunday's game versus the Vikings.
-
Riley Patterson MIA K
Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Nails long field goal in loss
1d agoPatterson made his only field-goal attempt and didn't try any extra points in Monday's Week 15 loss to Pittsburgh.
Patterson broke open the scoring with a career-long 54-yard field goal in the second quarter -- no easy feat considering the frigid temperature in Pittsburgh. That ended up being Patterson's only kick of the game, as the Dolphins didn't score again until the fourth quarter and went for two-point tries on each of their late touchdowns. Patterson has been very reliable for Miami this season, going 24-of-26 on field-goal attempts and 29-for-30 on PATs.
-
Chris Boswell PIT K
Steelers' Chris Boswell: Converts four PATs in Week 15 win
1d agoBoswell didn't try a field goal and made all four of his extra-point attempts in Monday's 28-15 win against Miami.
Pittsburgh's offense was quiet in the first half but was able to squeeze out a touchdown with under 20 seconds remaining before halftime. Boswell punched through the point-after and then hit three more in the second half as the Steelers got into the end zone with more ease. Boswell hasn't had a field-goal try in three of his past four games, so fantasy managers in leagues that count kicking may want to look in a different direction.
-
Charlie Smyth NO K
Saints' Charlie Smyth: Placed back on practice squad
1d agoThe Saints reverted Smyth to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Smyth has been New Orleans' kicker three straight weeks and has performed well, making four of five field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point tries. It seems likely that he'll kick again for the team in Week 16 versus the Jets, but he's out of elevations, so the Saints would need to sign Smyth to their active roster in order for him to be active on gameday. If New Orleans decides against doing so, Cade York -- who is currently on the club's practice squad -- would likely get an opportunity.
-
Matt Prater BUF K
Bills' Matt Prater: Out for Week 16
2d agoBills head coach Sean McDermott said that Prater has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns due to a right quadriceps injury, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
Prater suffered the injury during the Bills' 35-31 win over the Patriots on Sunday, when he converted all five of his extra-point attempts. With Tyler Bass (hip) already done for the season, the Bills will have to pursue a free-agent kicker to hold down the fort for the duration of Prater's recovery. Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo relays that Prater is considered week-to-week and could miss more than one game.
-
Will Reichard MIN K
Vikings' Will Reichard: Perfect in Week 15
2d agoReichard went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday night's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.
The second-year pro from Alabama has not missed a kick since the Week 8 loss to the Chargers. On the year, Reichard has made 24 of 26 field-goal tries and all 27 of his point-after attempts. He's expected to remain one of the NFL's top kickers in the Week 16 matchup against the Giants.
-
Jaylen McCollough LAR SAF
Rams' Jaylen McCollough: Appears to be past illness
8h agoMcCollough (illness) was estimated a s a full participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
McCollough fell ill Saturday and was added to the Rams' injury report as questionable for Sunday's matchup against Detroit. He ended up being able to play in that victory, logging a 65 percent defensive snap share. McCollough was then deemed a non-participant for Monday's walkthrough, but after being estimated as a full participant one day later, he appears good to go for Thursday's matchup in Seattle.
-
DeMarcus Lawrence SEA LB
Seahawks' DeMarcus Lawrence: Full participant in walkthrough
8h agoLawrence (quadriceps) was a full participant in Seattle's walkthrough Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Lawrence was limited during Monday's walkthrough but is seemingly on track to play in Thursday's matchup versus the Rams. The 33-year-old should continue to serve as one of the Seahawks' starting linebackers against Los Angeles.
-
Marcus Jones NE CB
Patriots' Marcus Jones: Registers 10 stops in Week 15 loss
8h agoJones tallied 10 tackles (eight solo), notched five yards on two punt returns and recovered his own fumble Sunday in a loss to the Bills.
Jones' tackle total was second-highest on New England in the tough defeat. The fourth-year defensive back's fumble recovery came after he muffed a punt in the first quarter, so he at least avoided what could have been a disastrous mistake. Jones continues to play a key role both on defense and special teams for the Patriots.
-
Edgerrin Cooper GB LB
Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Scoops fumble in Week 15 loss
8h agoCooper logged eight tackles (seven solo), including two tackles for a loss, one pass defense and one fumble recovery during the Packers' 34-26 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Cooper jumped on an RJ Harvey (ribs) fumble caused by Micah Parsons (knee) early in the first quarter, and the Packers' offense capitalized on the turnover by converting it into a 53-yard field goal from Brandon McManus eight plays later. Cooper has tallied at least eight tackles in each of his last three games, and the 2024 second-rounder is up to 105 combined tackles through 14 regular-season games. It's the first time in his young career that he's reached the tackling century mark, and he'll look to add to his total in Saturday's road tilt against the Bears, a game that will carries major playoff implications.
-
Jaylinn Hawkins NE SAF
Patriots' Jaylinn Hawkins: Racks up 11 stops Sunday
9h agoHawkins totaled 11 tackles (four solo) and a defensed pass in Sunday's Week 15 loss to Buffalo.
Hawkins led New England in tackles in the losing effort. In doing so, he set a season-high mark and reached double digits in stops for the first time this year. Hawkins is up to 62 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, along with four defensed passes (including two interceptions) through 12 games in his second campaign with the Patriots.
-
Quay Walker GB LB
Packers' Quay Walker: Posts nine stops vs. Denver
9h agoWalker logged nine tackles (three solo), including one for a loss, during the Packers' 34-26 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Walker played 64 of 68 defensive snaps (94.1 percent) and finished as the game's leading tackler. His efforts Sunday brought him over the tackling century mark for a fourth consecutive year, and his 102 combined stops through 12 regular-season games matches his total from the 2024 campaign (across 13 regular-season contests). The 2022 first-rounder has three more opportunities to crack his career-high mark from his rookie campaign (121 tackles across 17 regular-season games), starting this Saturday against the Bears.
