John FitzPatrick TE | GB
Packers' John FitzPatrick: Sees one target in Week 13 win
FitzPatrick didn't catch his only target in a 31-24 win over Detroit on Thursday.
FitzPatrick again took the field with Green Bay's starters, but he got exactly one target for the third straight week. After surpassing a 60 percent offensive snap share each of the previous two weeks, he logged just a 24 percent share Thursday, while Luke Musgrave (59 percent) and Josh Whyle (51 percent) worked well ahead of him in the tight-end pecking order. That could be an indication that Whyle is going to eat more into FitzPatrick's opportunities moving forward.

Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL
Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Hauls in three passes vs. KC
Flournoy caught three passes on as many targets for 34 yards during the Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday.
Two of Flournoy's three catches came during the Cowboys' first offensive drive of the second quarter, which helped lead to a 49-yard field goal from Brandon Aubrey. Flournoy's three receptions were his most since Week 6 against the Panthers, and his 27 snaps on offense were third most among Cowboys wide receivers behind CeeDee Lamb (58) and George Pickens (53) and ahead of KaVontae Turpin (26). Flournoy is up to 20 catches (on 29 targets) for 234 yards and two touchdowns across 12 regular-season games.

Malik Heath WR | ATL
Packers' Malik Heath: No catches in Week 13 victory
Heath didn't catch his only target in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.
Jordan Love tossed 30 passes for the first time in three weeks, but only one of them went to Heath, who now has gone without a reception in each of his past three games. Heath logged as many offensive snaps (11) as receiver-turned-cornerback Bo Melton, while Romeo Doubs (53), Christian Watson (46) and Dontayvion Wicks (31) featured as Green Bay's top three wideouts. Heath's role could shrink further when Matthew Golden (wrist) or Savion Williams (foot) return to action.

Christopher Brooks RB | GB
Packers' Chris Brooks: Logs two catches on Thanksgiving
Brooks didn't get any carries but caught both of his targets for nine yards in Thursday's 31-24 win over Detroit.
On a day when six different Packers -- including three WRs -- got at least one carry, Brooks was invisible in the running game. However, he did notch a pair of catches to ensure his name appeared in the box score. Brooks has 11 rushes and 10 catches on the campaign as Green Bay's No. 3 RB, so it's not out of the norm for him to be featured more as a pass catcher than as a ball carrier during his limited offensive snaps.

Malik Davis RB | DAL
Cowboys' Malik Davis: Scores first TD of 2025
Davis turned three carries into 47 yards and a touchdown during the Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday.
Davis played just nine snaps on offense compared to Javonte Williams' 56, but the former helped give the Cowboys a 17-14 lead in the second quarter with a 43-yard touchdown run. With rookie fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue a healthy scratch for each of Dallas' last four games, Davis appears to be fully entrenched as the RB2 behind Williams, though the latter figures to still serve as the team's workhorse out of the backfield. Davis has logged 10 carries for 91 yards across three games since the Cowboys' Week 10 bye.

Devontez Walker WR | BAL
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Blanked on Thanksgiving Day
Walker did not record a catch on two targets during Baltimore's 32-14 loss to Cincinnati on Thursday.
Walker played just 17 snaps on offense during Thursday's loss, with his decreased playing time corresponding with the return of Rashod Bateman from a two-game absence. Walker has caught one pass or less in seven of eight regular-season games, and both of his receiving touchdowns came in Week 2 against the Browns. The second-year wideout is unlikely to see consistent work in the Ravens' offense unless Bateman, Zay Flowers or DeAndre Hopkins were to miss time.

Bears' Kevin Byard: Another fine game in win
Byard recorded six tackles (four solo) during Friday's 24-15 win at Philadelphia.
After Friday's contest, Byard has now collected exactly six tackles in four of his last seven games. He's doing enough to keep up a near every-down role at safety, but his per-snap production has lagged compared to last season, keeping him off the IDP radar in most formats.

Marlon Humphrey CB | BAL
Ravens' Marlon Humphrey: Logs season-high tackle total
Humphrey recorded nine tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Thursday's 32-14 loss versus the Bengals.
Humphrey's nine tackles marked his highest single-game total since Week 2 of the 2024 season, and he got his first full sack since Week 13 of the 2022 campaign. His aptitude in coverage normally keeps a cap on his tackling production, but opposing quarterbacks have had more success throwing his way in 2025 than in years past.

DeAndre Hopkins WR | BAL
Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Logs two catches Thanksgiving Day
Hopkins caught two of three targets for 25 yards during the Ravens' 32-14 loss to the Bengals on Thursday.
With Rashod Bateman cleared to return from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury, Hopkins saw the field for just 23 of 60 offensive snaps (38.3 percent), which was ahead of Devontez Walker (17) and behind Zay Flowers (57) and Bateman (44). Hopkins has been held to two catches or less in each of the first 12 games of the regular season and has not hauled in a touchdown pass since Week 2 against the Browns. Hopkins and the Ravens host the Steelers in Week 14 on Sunday, Dec. 7, in a game that will carry major implications in the race to claim the AFC North division.

Kyle Hamilton SAF | BAL
Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Nice day in loss
Hamilton recorded seven tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed during Thursday's 32-14 loss versus the Bengals.
Hamilton posted six-plus tackles for the fifth time in his last six games in Week 13, keeping him on pace for 100-plus tackles on the year. He also made his fifth pass breakup in his last four contests. He's solidly in the IDP discussion ahead of a Week 14 matchup versus the Steelers.
