Johnson caught his lone target for seven yards during Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

After being a healthy scratch in the Jets' last two contests, Johnson played nine offensive snaps during Sunday's loss. In 11 games this season, the Minnesota product has caught 11 of 17 targets for 194 yards and a touchdown. He's expected to remain a minimal portion of the Jets' offensive game plan in the Week 17 matchup against the Patriots.

Gilliam went without a carry or target while playing 11 of the Bills' 50 offensive snaps in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

The 28-year-old fullback has been active for all 15 of the Bills' games this season but has been deployed almost exclusively as a blocker on offense, recording no carries and just one reception for two yards. Gilliam remains a core special-teams player for the Bills and has notched 12 tackles on the team's coverage units this season.

Mitchell rushed nine times for 13 yards in Sunday night's 28-24 loss to the Patriots.

He wasn't targeted in the passing game and mustered a long run of just five yards. Despite Derrick Henry putting the offense on his back with Lamar Jackson (back) getting injured in the second quarter, it was Mitchell who was in the game late in the fourth quarter after New England pulled to within three points at 24-21. Mitchell gained four yards on two carries, and the offense punted after six plays. Baltimore would go on to lose following a Zay Flowers fumble. Mitchell is averaging a robust 6.4 yards per carry on 48 rushing attempts this season but carries minimal standalone fantasy value with Henry healthy.

Hawes caught both of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

The rookie from Georgia Tech logged 32 offensive snaps and played more than Dalton Kincaid (19 snaps), but that was likely a product of Buffalo's run-heavy game script while playing from ahead during Sunday's win. Hawes has now caught 15 of 18 targets for 187 yards and three touchdowns across 15 appearances this season. He's expected to remain a depth option in the Bills' tight-end corps in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Knox caught one of two targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

The 29-year-old logged 34 offensive snaps and played over both Dalton Kincaid (19 snaps) and Jackson Hawes (32 snaps) during Sunday's win. Knox has been an important part of the Bills' passing attack over the last five contests, catching 16 of 21 targets for 185 yards and two touchdowns during that span. He's expected to operate as Buffalo's No. 2 tight end in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Shavers caught one of two targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

Shavers recorded the third-most receiving yards on the Bills during Sunday's win and has now played at least 50 percent of the team's offensive snaps in four consecutive contests. In 15 appearances this season, the San Diego State product has caught 13 of 20 targets for 209 yards and one touchdown. He's expected to remain one of Buffalo's top wideouts in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Palmer caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

Since returning from injury in the Bills' Week 15 win over the Patriots, Palmer has caught two of three targets for just 18 yards. However, he's played the third-most offensive snaps (58) among Buffalo wideouts during that span, trailing Khalil Shakir (72) and Tyrell Shavers (64). Palmer likely won't carry much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles, despite his role.

Cooks didn't catch his lone target during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

Cooks has gone without a catch in each of the Bills' last three games, despite playing 59 offensive snaps during that span. The veteran wideout has appeared in 14 games with Buffalo and New Orleans this season, catching 20 of 30 targets for 178 yards. He's expected to remain a minimal portion of the Bills' offensive game plan in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Davis rushed three times for 14 yards and caught both of his targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns. He also returned four kickoffs for 92 yards.

Davis' five offensive touches during Sunday's win were the most he's received since the Bills' Week 13 win over the Steelers. Despite this, the Kentucky product played just eight offensive snaps, suggesting he remains behind both James Cook and Ty Johnson in Buffalo's backfield. Davis has now tallied 837 kickoff-return yards, 120 rushing yards and 51 receiving yards through the Bills' first 15 games this season. He's expected to remain one of the league's premier return men in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Golden rushed twice for four yards and didn't catch his lone target during Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears.

Golden has now logged just one target in two of the Packers' last three games. He played 22 offensive snaps during Saturday's loss, trailing Jayden Reed (45), Christian Watson (43), Romeo Doubs (43) and Dontayvion Wicks (30). Golden, a 2025 first-round pick from Texas, has had an underwhelming start to his NFL career, catching 27 of 38 targets for 341 yards and rushing 10 times for 49 yards across 12 contests. He likely won't carry much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Ravens, especially with the uncertainty surround Green Bay's quarterback situation stemming from both Jordan Love (concussion) and Malik Willis (shoulder) dealing with injuries.
