  • Packers' Chris Brooks: One carry vs. Chicago

    Brooks rushed once for four yards during Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears.

    The 25-year-old played 15 offensive snaps and primarily served as Green Bay's top pass-blocking running back during Saturday's loss. In 15 games this season, Brooks has rushed 14 times for 45 yards and caught 12 of 15 targets for 80 yards. The BYU product could serve as the Packers' No. 2 RB in the Week 17 matchup against the Ravens if Josh Jacobs (knee) is sidelined.

  • Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes three PATs vs. Houston

    Carlson converted all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans.

    The Auburn product has now gone without a field-goal attempt in three of Las Vegas' last four games. On the season, Carlson has made 17 of 22 field-goal tries and 20 of 21 point-after attempts through 15 contests. His next opportunity to score will likely come in the Week 17 matchup against the Giants.

  • LeQuint Allen RB | JAC

    Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Four touches in No. 2 role

    Allen rushed four times for 10 yards and returned three kickoffs for 73 yards during Sunday's 34-20 win against the Broncos.

    The rookie seventh-round pick stepped into the No. 2 backfield role with Bhayshul Tuten (finger) sidelined, and Allen played 21 of 70 offensive snaps. Starter Travis Etienne dominated the backfield work with 20 touches, and that's a trend that's likely to continue during the final two weeks of the regular season, with Allen working as the primary backup as long as Tuten is out.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Titans' Joey Slye: Makes four kicks vs. Kansas City

    Slye made all three of his extra-point tries and his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 26-9 win over the Chiefs.

    Most of the 29-year-old's work came in the second half of Sunday's win, making a 26-yard field goal and two extra points during that span. Slye has had an up-and-down year for the Titans, converting on 24 of 30 field-goal tries and 23 of 24 point-after attempts across 14 contests. His next opportunity to kick will likely come in the Week 17 matchup against the Saints.

  • Ben Sauls K | NYG

    Giants' Ben Sauls: Perfect in NFL debut

    Sauls converted both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.

    The 24-year-old impressed during his NFL debut, making field goals of 27 and 39 yards while also converting his only point-after attempt. Following Sunday's performance, Sauls will likely remain the Giants' top placekicker in the Week 17 matchup against the Raiders.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Jets' Nick Folk: Perfect in Week 16

    Folk made both of his field-goal attempts during Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

    Folk converted on 29- and 36-yard field-goal tries in the first half but wasn't given any other opportunities to score during Sunday's loss. The 41-year-old has been one of the NFL's best kickers this season, making 27 of 28 field-goal attempts and all 21 of his point-after tries through 15 games. His next opportunity to kick will come in the Week 17 matchup against the Patriots.

  • Dyami Brown WR | WAS

    Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Minimal role at Denver

    Brown wasn't targeted during Sunday's 34-20 win against the Broncos.

    Brown was active for a third straight game Sunday after being a healthy scratch Week 13, but he's now gone six straight contests without a reception. It would likely take multiple injuries to Jacksonville's receiving corps for the 26-year-old to reclaim a meaningful role in the passing game.

  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Four touches on offense Sunday

    Turpin gained 13 yards on two carries and caught two of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Chargers. He added 148 yards on six kickoff returns.

    The fourth-year return specialist continues to see a small but steady role in the Dallas offense. Turpin has gotten between three and five touches in each of the last five games, putting together 182 yards from scrimmage over that stretch, but his only touchdown of the season came back in Week 2.

  • Mike Badgley K | BUF

    Bills' Michael Badgley: Misses once in win

    Badgley made two of three extra-point tries and his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

    With both Matt Prater (quadriceps) and Tyler Bass (hip) ruled out for Sunday's contest, Badgley assumed the Bills' placekicker duties. He converted on a 41-yard field-goal try late in the third quarter that gave Buffalo a 13-point lead. The 30-year-old has now made 11 of 12 field-goal attempts and 20 of 24 point-after tries through eight games with the Colts and Bills this season. Badgley could serve as Buffalo's top kicker again in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles if Prater remains sidelined.

  • Malik Davis RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Malik Davis: Eight carries in Week 16 loss

    Davis gained 23 yards on eight carries in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Chargers.

    The 27-year-old running back saw exactly eight carries for a second straight game and again picked up little yardage, but this time Davis wasn't able to salvage his fantasy production by getting into the end zone. With the Cowboys eliminated from the playoffs, Javonte Williams could lose some touches over the final two games of the season, but in that scenario rookies Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah (shoulder) would be more likely to pick up the slack than Davis.
