    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Back on track in Week 17

    Myers went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made all three of his PATs in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.

    Myers was able to get back on track in Week 17 after going without a field-goal attempt in Week 16 against the Rams, making multiple field goals for the seventh time in eight games. The kicker converted a 48-yarder in the first quarter and a 30-yard try in the fourth quarter. Myers has had a masterful season, going 39-for-44 on field-goal attempts, including 9-for-12 from 50-plus yards, while making all 47 of his extra-point tries over 16 games.

  • Ben Sauls K | NYG

    Giants' Ben Sauls: Makes all six kicks in win

    Sauls made both of his field-goal attempts and all four PATs in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Raiders.

    Sauls' field goals came from 32 and 23 yards, and he's now perfect through two games as the Giants' kicker. Sauls has made all three of his field-goal tries and is 6-for-6 on extra points. He'll wrap up the 2025 season against Dallas in Week 18 next Sunday.

  • A.J. Brown WR | PHI

    Eagles' A.J. Brown: Leading receiver on seven targets

    Brown hauled in five of seven targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Bills.

    Brown missed a pair of practice sessions early in the week after having his wisdom teeth removed, but the procedure did not limit the wideout's availability in Sunday's road victory. The 28-year-old paced the Eagles in targets, receptions and yardage while ceding the team's only touchdown reception to TE Dallas Goedert (3-8-1). Brown's solid effort pushed him over the 1,000-yard mark for the fourth consecutive season. The star receiver is looking for a strong finish to the regular season against the Commanders in Week 18.

  • Saints' Charlie Smyth: Makes two long FGAs in Week 17

    Smyth went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made all four of his PATs in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Titans.

    Smyth was able to make multiple field goals for the third straight game. He missed a 43-yard try in the first quarter, but he rebounded well, converting attempts from 56 and 57 yards later in the contest. Smyth has now gone 11-for-14 on field-goal tries, including 6-for-7 from 50-plus yards, while making all 11 of his extra-point attempts over five games with the Saints this season.

  • Dante Pettis WR | NO

    Saints' Dante Pettis: Grabs three passes Week 17

    Pettis gathered in three of four targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 34-26 victory over the Titans.

    Pettis logged more than one target for the first time this season, as he finished tied for third on the team in this category Sunday. The 30-year-old served as the Saints' WR3 with Mason Tipton (groin) inactive. Coming into Week 17, Pettis totaled just one reception on two targets across six appearances. He could see a moderate workload again if Tipton remains sidelined in the regular-season finale versus Atlanta.

  • Kenny Pickett QB | CAR

    Raiders' Kenny Pickett: Relieves injured Smith

    Pickett completed both of his passes for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Giants.

    Geno Smith exited the game with an ankle injury early in the fourth quarter, with Pickett relieving him for the Raiders' final possession. Pickett completed short passes of 11 and five yards, though the drive resulted in a turnover on downs. Following the game, head coach Pete Carroll said Smith suffered a high-ankle sprain, setting Pickett up for a Week 18 start against the Chiefs, per Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com.

  • Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Catches two passes in win

    Humphrey caught two of five targets for 23 yards in Denver's 20-13 win over Kansas City on Thursday.

    Humphrey's five targets were his most in a game since joining the Broncos on Nov. 12. With Pat Bryant (concussion) absent against the Chiefs, Humphrey operated as the Broncos' WR2 in terms of playing time, getting in on 60 percent of the offensive snaps, ahead of both Marvin Mims (47 percent) and Troy Franklin (38 percent). In six games with the Broncos, Humphrey has nine catches for 101 yards and one touchdown on 15 targets.

  • Isaiah Likely TE | NYG

    Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Posts 27 yards in Saturday's win

    Likely caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in Baltimore's 41-24 win over Green Bay on Saturday.

    After being blanked for zero catches in back-to-back games in Weeks 15 and 16 against the Bengals and Patriots, Likely was back involved in the offense. However, he's topped 30 receiving yards in a game just twice all season and has scored just one touchdown. Likely will be a touchdown-or-bust bet against the Steelers in next Sunday's pivotal Week 18 matchup for the AFC North title.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Held to 68 yards against Bills

    Barkley rushed 19 times for 68 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 13-12 win over Buffalo.

    Barkley failed to break away from the Bills' athletic linebacking corps and was held to 3.6 yards per tote Sunday. The 28-year-old failed to extend his modest scoring streak to four games, culminating in a mediocre fantasy performance by the superstar's standards. It was also the first time this season that Barkley did not receive a target, but the workhorse still commanded 19 of Philadelphia's 23 backfield carries. Barkley and his 280-1,140-7 rushing line will attempt to finish off a solid, yet underwhelming, regular season against the Commanders in Week 18.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Steelers' Adam Thielen: Flops despite Metcalf being out

    Thielen caught two passes for 14 yards on five targets in the Steelers' 13-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Despite DK Metcalf serving his suspension, Thielen was tied for third on the team in targets and finished sixth in receiving yards. At 35 years old, Thielen simply doesn't have a whole lot left in the tank while also playing in a passing offense that is unable to support more than one pass catcher.
