  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Solid showing marred by fumble

    Flowers recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Patriots. He added one rush for 18 yards and one touchdown.

    Flowers had one of his better showings of the season, as he topped 100 yards from scrimmage for only the third time in 15 games. He was particularly involved as a pass catcher early in the contest -- before Lamar Jackson exited with a back injury -- logging receptions of 19 and 18 yards on Baltimore's first possession before chipping in a 14-yard catch on the team's second drive. Flowers also found the end zone for the second consecutive game on a 14-yard end-around late in the third quarter. Despite turning in one of his more productive games of the season, Flowers' effort was overshadowed by a lost fumble late in the game that helped New England clinch the win.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Explodes for 138 yards on SNF

    Diggs recorded nine receptions on 10 targets for 138 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens.

    Diggs ended his recent dry spell with his fourth 100-plus yard game of the season. The veteran receiver nearly doubled his entire production (72 yards, zero TDs) from his last three contests combined with Sunday's monster output. Diggs upped his season receiving line to 76-869-3, putting him in a realistic position to record his first 1,000-yard season since he was a member of the Bills in 2023. The wideout's next opportunity to work on that achievement will come in a road tilt against the Jets next Sunday.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Misses late FG in narrow win

    Boswell converted two of three field-goal attempts and all three of his PATs in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Lions.

    Boswell made field goals from 59 and 23 yards but banged a 37-yard attempt off the right upright late in the fourth quarter with 2:09 left in the contest. It would have put the Steelers up 32-24, however, Detroit got the ball back with a chance to win but had the game-winning TD called back on a penalty as time expired. On the season, Boswell has made 23 of 27 field-goal tries and all 40 PATs.

  • Chargers' Cameron Dicker: Makes all six kicks in win

    Dicker converted both of his field-goal attempts and all four PATs in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys.

    Dicker's made field goals came from 37 and 27 yards, and the 25-year-old kicker is currently the most accurate kicker in NFL history, having made 94 percent of his 135 career field-goal attempts through four seasons. Through 15 games this season, Dicker has drilled 36 of 38 field-goal tries and all 33 of his extra points. He'll be an intriguing Week 17 option at home in the dome against the Texans next Saturday.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Ravens' Derrick Henry: Two scores in loss

    Henry rushed the ball 18 times for 128 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Patriots. He also lost a fumble.

    Henry continued his momentum of strong performances, as he matched his season high of three rushes of at least 20 yards. His two touchdowns came from 21 and two yards away, marking his fourth multi-score effort of the campaign. The only shortcoming of Henry's performance came late in the first quarter when he lost a fumble, which ultimately led to a long touchdown drive for the Patriots. As has typically been the case in his career, Henry has imposed his will late in the season, as he now has over 90 rushing yards in three straight games.

  • Drake Maye QB | NE

    Patriots' Drake Maye: Career night in comeback victory

    Maye completed 31 of 44 pass attempts for 380 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while taking 10 carries for 25 yards and a lost fumble in Sunday's 28-24 win over Baltimore.

    Maye bounced back in a big way following last week's zero-touchdown outing in a loss to the Bills. The surging sophomore produced his first 300-yard passing game under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football while leading his team back from an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter. Maye went well over the 300-yard mark in Sunday's statement win to set a new career high for yards in a single game (380). The 22-year-old quickly overcame his first case of adversity and is looking like a true MVP candidate in his first year under head coach Mike Vrabel for the 12-3 Patriots. Fantasy managers should continue starting Maye with confidence ahead of next Sunday's favorable matchup against the Jets.

  • Elijah Higgins TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Puts together career-best performance

    Higgins recorded seven catches (on eight targets) for 91 yards during Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons.

    Higgins surprisingly matched standout TE Trey McBride (4-27-0) for the team lead in targets, and the former easily paced the Cardinals in both receptions and receiving yards. Additionally, Higgins more than doubled his previous career high in yards (45 in Week 2 of this season) Sunday. He did all of this with No. 1 WR Marvin Harrison (1-14-0 on three targets) back in action and Michael Wilson (2-52-1 on three targets) in the midst of a recent hot stretch. Higgins likely will take a step back in the pecking order for targets in Arizona's final two games of the campaign, especially as Harrison gets healthier.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Converts all four kicks in loss

    McLaughlin made both of his field-goal attempts and both extra points in Tampa Bay's 23-20 loss to Carolina on Sunday.

    McLaughlin converted 50- and 23-yard field goals against the Panthers and hasn't missed a kick since Week 6. On the season, the veteran kicker has made 28 of 32 field-goal tries and 29 of 30 extra-point attempts. He'll be in a good spot next Sunday against the Dolphins' anemic defense.

  • Bo Nix QB | DEN

    Broncos' Bo Nix: Career-high yardage

    Nix completed 28 of 47 passes for 352 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars. He added four carries for 11 yards.

    The Broncos played from behind for a large portion of the second half and were down two scores for nearly the entire fourth quarter. That allowed Nix to rack up a career-high 352 passing yards while averaging a solid 7.5 yards per attempt. The primary shortcoming of Nix's performance was that he managed only one touchdown -- a looping 15-yard pass to Courtland Sutton in the back corner of the end zone early in the second quarter. He also threw a key interception midway through the fourth quarter, effectively ending Denver's chance at a comeback victory. Overall, Nix has topped 300 passing yards three times in his last four games, though he has managed multiple passing scores only once in his last six contests.

  • Dalton Schultz TE | HOU

    Texans' Dalton Schultz: Catches Stroud's only TD pass

    Schultz had five receptions on as many targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders.

    Schultz had the highest fantasy score of any pass catcher for Houston on Sunday after coming down with QB C.J. Stroud's only touchdown pass of the contest. It was the veteran tight end's third touchdown catch of the season, surpassing last year's total of two in two fewer games. Schultz is providing a consistent floor for fantasy managers heading into a matchup with the Chargers in Week 17.
