Derrick Henry RB | BAL
Ravens' Derrick Henry: Carries Baltimore to victory
Henry rushed the ball 36 times for 216 yards and four touchdowns in Saturday's 41-24 win over the Packers.
The Ravens were likely to rely on their run game in the absence of Lamar Jackson (back), though his effectiveness combined with game script led to a particularly impressive showing. He set a new career high with 36 rushing attempts, and he also surpassed 200 rushing yards for the first time since Week 8 of the 2022 campaign, thanks to long rushes of 30 and 25 yards -- the latter of which went for a touchdown. Henry found the end zone three additional times, matching his career high of four touchdowns, with the previous performance coming in Week 14 of the 2018 season. His vintage showing kept the Ravens' playoff hopes alive and marked his fifth straight game with at least 100 yards from scrimmage.

Malik Willis QB | MIA
Packers' Malik Willis: Exits with shoulder injury
Willis exited Saturday's game against the Ravens in the fourth quarter with an apparent right shoulder injury and is questionable to return.
Willis injured his shoulder on a follow-through throw in the fourth quarter and immediately sprinted to the locker room to undergo further examination. Prior to leaving the game, Willis was cooking for Green Bay, completing 18 of 21 passes for 288 yards and one touchdown. He also rushed nine times for 60 yards and two touchdowns. Clayton Tune came on to replace Willis at quarterback and threw an interception on his first pass attempt.

Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | ARI
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Likely to be on snap count Sunday
Harrison (heel) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, but he's expected to play and is likely to have his snaps managed for the second straight contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Harrison had missed four of the Cardinals' five games between Weeks 11 and 15 -- two due to an appendectomy, two due to a heel injury -- before he was cleared to return to action in last Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons. However, Harrison played just 51 percent of the offensive snaps in the loss, turning in a disappointing 1-14-0 receiving line on three targets. Harrison looks to have avoided any setbacks coming out of that contest, but he'll once again be carrying a designation into the weekend after he was a limited participant in all three of the Cardinals' Week 17 practices. Harrison should be cleared when Arizona releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but the likelihood that he has his snaps monitored again probably limits his fantasy appeal relative to the Cardinals' other top pass catchers, tight end Trey McBride and wideout Michael Wilson.

Kamal Hadden DB | GB
Packers' Kamal Hadden: Exits with ankle injury
Hadden (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday night's game against the Ravens.
Hadden exited in the third quarter, having to be carted off with an ankle injury. The defensive back ends the game with one tackle assist. With Zayne Anderson (ankle) ruled out and Nate Hobbs (knee) questionable to return to the game, Kitan Oladapo and Bo Melton are the only reserve defensive backs left available for the rest of Saturday night's game.

Nate Hobbs CB | SF
Packers' Nate Hobbs: Ruled out with knee
Hobbs (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday night's game against the Ravens.
Hobbs was unable to return for the second half of Saturday night's game. The cornerback will end the night with one solo tackle and one pass defensed. The rest of the Packers' secondary will have to fill in for the injured corner, with Bo Melton as the primary candidate for an increased snap share.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | PHI
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Downgraded to out with concussion
Wicks (concussion) will not return to Saturday night's game against the Ravens.
Wicks exited the game just ahead of halftime after catching his lone target for seven yards. With Wicks done for the night, Matthew Golden and Bo Melton are next up for wideout snaps behind Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson and Jayden Reed.

Dalton Schultz TE | HOU
Texans' Dalton Schultz: Held to 19 yards
Schultz recorded three receptions on four targets for 19 yards in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.
C.J. Stroud distributed targets evenly to his pass catchers, leaving Schultz as one of five Texans with either four or five targets. He didn't do much with the opportunity he did get, and he also picked up a key unsportsmanlike conduct penalty to stall a promising drive early in the second quarter. Schultz remains an inconsistent contributor, as this marked his third performance in his last six games with under 25 yards. However, he's either topped 50 yards or found the end zone in the other three contests in that span.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | PHI
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Exits for concussion evaluation
Wicks exited Saturday night's game against the Ravens with a head injury and is questionable to return.
Wicks is undergoing concussion evaluation just before halftime. Prior to exiting, Wicks caught his lone target in the passing game for a gain of seven yards. Matthew Golden and Bo Melton would be in line for additional playing time while Wicks is sidelined.

Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU
Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Keeps role in Houston's backfield
Jordan rushed the ball eight times for 36 yards in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.
Woody Marks returned from a one-game absence to retake the lead role in Houston's backfield, though Jordan usurped Nick Chubb for the complementary role. Jordan chipped in decent gains of 10 and nine yards with his opportunity and looks to be in position to contribute to Houston's postseason run.

Nate Hobbs CB | SF
Packers' Nate Hobbs: Questionable with knee issue
Hobbs (knee) is questionable to return to Saturday night's game against the Ravens, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Hobbs exited the game in the second quarter with a knee injury. The issue could potentially be an aggravation of a prior issue the cornerback suffered in Week 4 against the Cowboys. If Hobbs is unable to return, Bo Melton will likely see an increased role in the Packers' secondary for the remainder of Saturday night's contest.
