Mahomes completed 14 of 33 pass attempts for 160 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions while gaining 59 rushing yards on seven attempts in Sunday's 20-10 loss to Houston.

Mahomes was shut down almost completely by the Texans' vaunted defense on Sunday Night Football, a scene we have not seen much over the course of the signal-caller's illustrious career. All credit goes to Houston's defense, but Kansas City's role players didn't offer much relief. The Chiefs' receivers suffered six drops in the primetime loss, with notable guffaws coming in critical moments from stars Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce. Mahomes may have to pull out one of his Superman games against the Chargers in order to keep his team's bleak playoff hopes alive in Week 15.

Musgrave caught two of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 28-21 win over Chicago.

Musgrave corralled multiple passes for the first time since Week 10, and his day was nearly much more impressive, as he narrowly failed to reel in a 34-yard throw from Jordan Love in the first quarter. The tight end has had an opportunity to carve out a larger role for himself on offense with Tucker Kraft (knee) done for the year, but Musgrave's production has remained underwhelming.

Collins recorded four receptions on eight targets for 121 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.

Collins was the only Texans pass catcher to make a significant impact in a defensive showdown. He was unsurprisingly C.J. Stroud's favorite target, and he did the majority of his damage on long catches of 53 and 46 yards in the first half. After an inconsistent start to the season, Collins now has at least 75 receiving yards in five of his last six games and has topped 100 yards in three contests on the campaign.

Grupe made both field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars.

The kicker was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday to replace Michael Badgley, who had missed three extra points in seven games with the Colts this year. Grupe himself failed to connect on eight field-goal tries with the Saints earlier this season, but he got another shot and made the most of it Sunday. The third-year pro should get another chance next Sunday at Seattle, though he may not have many scoring opportunities against one of the league's best defenses.

Kmet caught two of three targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers.

Kmet was able to reel in multiple passes for the second straight game and third time in the last four contests overall. His 42 receiving yards were second on the team behind Luther Burden (67), while fellow tight end Colston Loveland posted a 4-29-1 line. Kmet will look to build off of his recent momentum when the Bears host the Browns in Week 15.

Monangai rushed the ball 14 times for 57 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers. He added one reception on two targets for zero yards.

Monangai worked as the traditional lead back for Chicago during the first half, though his touches ultimately evened out with D'Andre Swift throughout the final two quarters. Monangai couldn't find much running room in the tough matchup, logging a long gain of only nine yards while averaging 4.1 yards per carry. While it wasn't his best showing, Monangai has clearly established a major role in the Chicago offense, having logged at least 12 carries in four consecutive contests.

Bryant made four receptions on as many targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders.

Bryant maintained his recent run of increased usage by finishing second in receiving behind Courtland Sutton (6-62-0) in Sunday's win. The 22-year-old Bryant has quietly averaged 43.2 yards a game over the Broncos' last six contests. Bryant's recent bump in production has put him on the map for those in deeper formats when the Broncos host the Packers in Week 15.

Gainwell rushed the ball four times for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Ravens. He added six receptions on seven targets for 27 yards.

The Steelers continued their recent pattern of work in the backfield, with Jaylen Warren serving as the traditional lead back and Gainwell mixing in primarily on passing downs. Despite that, Gainwell made his biggest impact on a six-yard touchdown run midway through the second quarter -- his first rushing score since Week 4. While he was ineffective as a receiver, Gainwell now has at least six catches in three of his last four games.

Lockett caught three of four targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.

Lockett was able to reel in multiple passes for the fourth time in the last five games, finishing third on the team in receptions behind Jack Bech (six) and Brock Bowers (four) against Denver. The wide receiver has yet to find the end zone over 12 contests with the Titans and Raiders this season, something he'll look to change in Week 14 against the Eagles.

Tucker rushed seven times for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Tucker was third in rush attempts behind Bucky Irving (15 carries) and Rachaad White (11 carries), but the third-year back was the only one of the three to get into the end zone on the ground via a one-yard run just before the midway point of the third quarter. Tucker's boost in playing time and opportunity was encouraging, considering he'd been held to no gain on just two rush attempts against the Cardinals in Week 13. Tucker will aim to maximize whatever touches he sees in a favorable Week 15 home matchup against the Falcons on Thursday night.
