Johnson brought in all four targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 34-26 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Johnson tied for second in receptions while checking in as the runner-up in receiving yards as well for the Saints, continuing a multi-week run of productive performances. The veteran tight end has at least four receptions in seven straight games, and he's recorded at least 89 receiving yards in three of those contests. Johnson heads into a Week 18 road matchup against the Falcons already boasting a career-high 74 catches and 828 receiving yards across 16 games.

Bernard (calf) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Eagles.

Bernard sustained a calf injury late in the first half, and his night has now officially come to a premature end. In his absence, Dorian Williams and Joe Andreessen will continue to operate in more substantial roles at linebacker versus Philadelphia.

Ward completed 21 of 40 passes for 251 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing twice for 10 yards in the Titans' 34-26 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.

Ward and the Titans came out on the losing end yet again, but the rookie first overall pick crossed the 250-yard mark through the air for the fifth time in his nascent career while also throwing a pair of touchdown passes for the fourth straight contest. Ward has thrown just a single interception in that span and none in the last three games, although his late first-half fumble Sunday was returned 33 yards for a touchdown by Chase Young. Ward's scoring strikes went to Chig Okonkwo (43 yards) and Elic Ayomanor (seven yards) in the second quarter, and he'll aim to keep his connection with his two talented targets going in a Week 18 road matchup against the Jaguars.

Smith-Njigba caught nine of 12 targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.

The star wideout dominated looks from Sam Darnold, as no other Seattle player saw more than three targets. Smith-Njigba has fallen too far off the pace to have a serious chance of threatening Calvin Johnson's single-season NFL record for receiving yards, but he'll still take a 113-1,709-10 line on 154 targets into a Week 18 meeting with the 49ers, with the No. 1 seed in the NFC potentially on the line for the Seahawks.

Charbonnet carried the ball 18 times for 110 yards and two touchdowns and caught both his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.

The 110 rushing yards were a season high for Charbonnet, and he put together his second two-TD performance of 2025 with a two-yard plunge in the third quarter and a one-yard score in the fourth. Charbonnet has gotten into the end zone six times in the last eight games, amassing 426 rushing yards over that stretch with a 4.9 YPC. The Seahawks are headed toward the No. 1 seed in the NFC with one more win, so Charbonnet figures to remain heavily involved in Week 18 against the 49ers.

Estime rushed 14 times for 94 yards and a touchdown while bringing in his only target for four yards in the Saints' 34-26 win over the Titans on Sunday.

After both Estime and fellow back Evan Hull ceded plenty of work to jack-of-all-trades veteran Taysom Hill in a Week 16 win over the Jets, head coach Kellen Moore opted for a more traditional ground attack Sunday. Estime was the primary beneficiary, outpacing Hill and Hull by three and two carries, respectively, and recording a career-best rushing yardage total in the process. The 2024 fifth-round pick of the Broncos ripped off a 32-yard touchdown run to seal the win with just under four minutes remaining, and given his production, Estime looks like a strong candidate to helm the running game again in a Week 18 road matchup against the Falcons, assuming Alvin Kamara (knee) remains out.

James recorded six total tackles (three solo) in Thursday's 30-23 win over Washington.

James was able to finished tied for the team lead in takedowns with cornerback Shavon Revel, registering at least six tackles for the fifth time this season. The rookie linebacker is now up to 78 total tackles (37 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a forced fumble over 13 contests this year.

Henry caught all three of his targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Jets.

Henry scored his seventh receiving touchdown of the season on a 13-yard catch 31 seconds before halftime. That was the fourth of Drake Maye's five touchdown passes in the lopsided win. Henry will look to build on his season totals of 55 catches, 712 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in Week 18 against the Dolphins. New England would clinch the top seed in the AFC and a bye in the wild-card round with a win over the Dolphins and a Broncos loss to the Chargers.

Clowney recorded four total tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Thursday's 30-23 win over the Commanders.

Clowney was able to get to Josh Johnson in the first quarter for a sack before he later combined with cornerback Reddy Steward to sack wide receiver Treylon Burks in the third quarter. Clowney is now up to 35 total tackles (19 solo), including 5.5 sacks, while adding three passes defensed and a fumble recovery over 12 games with the Cowboys this year.

Sanders completed 17 of 23 passes for 186 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers. He added four rushes for 20 yards.

Sanders was sharp early, completing five of seven passes for 101 yards and a touchdown across Cleveland's first two possessions. He couldn't get much going from there and threw a pair of costly picks on ill-advised throws, but the Steelers were unable to take advantage. Overall, it wasn't a particularly encouraging performance, but Sanders did show the ability to play on time during the Browns' scripted plays and likely endured some additional struggles due to the early departure of Harold Fannin (groin).
