The Cardinals got several minor offensive contributions in their Week 15 win at Tennessee. Running back Stepfan Taylor carried three times for 6 yards, receiver Brittan Golden caught a 16-yard pass, wideout Andre Roberts caught two passes for 15 yards and tight end Jim Dray had a 9-yard reception.

Starting again with Jordan Reed sidelined for a fourth straight game because of a concussion, Redskins tight end Logan Paulsen had a quiet afternoon Week 15 at Atlanta, catching three passes for 21 yards. He had scored a touchdown in back-to-back to back games, but this time, the touchdown went to his backup, Fred Davis.

Paulsen did have a season-high seven targets, though, tied for third-most on the team. He'll look to get back in the end zone Week 16 against the Cowboys, assuming Reed is again out.

Giants tight end Bear Pascoe and wide receiver Louis Murphy combined for three catches during a 23-0 loss Week 15 vs. Seattle. Pascoe had two catches for 12 yards, while Murphy added one catch for 7 yards.

The Giants are back in action Week 16 at Detroit.

Buccaneers tight end Timothy Wright scored for a second straight game Week 15 vs. San Francisco. Wright finished with seven catches for 82 yards -- both team highs -- during a 33-14 loss.

Wright cut the Tampa Bay deficit to six points with 14:54 left, as he was wide open in the end zone to haul in a 24-yard touchdown pass from Mike Glennon. Unfortunately, the 49ers would score the final 13 points of the game, pulling away from Tampa Bay.

Wright has scored has four touchdowns -- all coming in his last eight games. The 82 yards were the second highest of his career behind the 91 yards he had in Week 6. The rookie was targeted a team-high nine times Sunday.

The Bucs are back in action Week 16 at St. Louis.

Ertz was Foles' second most popular target, picking up six catches for 57 yards. He was targeted nine times. Ertz also managed to score on a 3 yard catch in the third quarter. It was Ertz's fourth touchdown of the year. He'll take on the Bears Week 16.

Browns tight end MarQueis Gray carried the ball twice in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Bears, for 30 yards. Both runs came out of the wildcat in the third quarter, while the Browns were in the red zone. Edwin Baker finished off that drive with a two-yard rushing touchdown.

Gray now has five rushing attempts on the season. The 30 yards were a season high. 

The Browns play the Bears in Week 16.
