Cousins completed 21 of 35 pass attempts for 197 yards, two touchdowns, one interception and a lost fumble while scoring a third touchdown and losing three yards on five carries in Sunday's 26-19 win over Arizona.

Cousins was unable to replicate last week's vintage 373-yard performance, but he was able to reproduce the trio of touchdowns in another winning effort. The 36-year-old's third trip to the end zone came via a rare QB sneak in the fourth quarter that would end up serving as the game-deciding score Sunday. Cousins is beginning to show flashes of his former glory after looking rusty in his first few starts taking over for the injured Michael Penix (knee). While he is far from a sure thing, Cousins has at least put himself back in the conversation for potential starting options for fantasy managers in desperate QB situations. A Week 17 matchup against a tough Rams defensive unit dampens the excitement around the veteran starter for those in standard fantasy leagues.

Tremble caught his only target for six yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

It appears Tremble's role in Carolina's offense has shrunk over the past four games, as he's caught just four of seven targets for 21 yards during that span. The 25-year-old has appeared in all 15 of the Panthers' contests this year, tallying 205 receiving yards and one touchdown on 23 receptions. He'll likely have minimal fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.

McPherson made his lone field-goal attempt and all six extra-point tries in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.

McPherson's field goal came from 45 yards away, and he sandwiched it with six PATs on a day the Bengals hung 35 straight points on the Dolphins after falling behind 14-10 in the second quarter. On the season, McPherson has converted 24 of 27 field-goal tries and all 37 extra-point attempts across 15 contests. He'll be a premier fantasy kicker at home next Sunday against Arizona.

Evans caught all three of his targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

The rookie from Notre Dame paced the Panthers' tight-end corps in receptions, targets and yards during Sunday's divisional win. He's been an important part of Carolina's offense as both a blocker and receiver this season, appearing in all 15 games and catching 17 of 21 targets for 161 yards and two touchdowns. His role may continue to grow in the Panthers' Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.

Ryland converted four of six field-goal attempts and his lone extra point try in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons.

Ryland accounted for 13 of Arizona's 19 points and made field goals from 50, 51, 25 and 34 yards but also missed back-to-back field-goal tries from 50 and 44 yards in the second and third quarters. Ryland's four field goals were still a single-game high for the 26-year-old, who has made just 23 of 31 field-goal attempts and all 32 extra points across 15 games this season.

Fairbairn hit all three field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders.

The kicker's field goals came from 55, 50 and 49 yards, respectively. Fairbairn has missed only four kicks this year, all field goals from 50 yards or longer, though he was perfect from that distance Sunday. The longtime Texan remains a reliable kicking option on a great defensive team that often settles for field goals.

Goff completed 34 of 54 passes for 364 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers. He added one rush for minus-1 yard.

Goff took to the air a season-high 54 times as the Lions played down by two scores for much of the fourth quarter. He was efficient throughout the contest, and he picked up 199 yards and touchdowns of 27 and four yards across the team's final three drives of the game. While it hasn't led to consistent victories, Goff has topped 300 passing yards in three straight games while also throwing seven touchdowns in that span.

Jackson (back) won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Jackson was deemed questionable to return in the second quarter. Tyler Huntley has been running the offense since that point, and Jackson has now officially been ruled out for the remainder of the night late in the third. Jackson finishes with seven completions for 101 yards on 10 passing attempts along with seven rushing yards on two carries. Jackson's next chance to aid Baltimore's playoff push will come Saturday at Green Bay.

Legette caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

The second-year pro has now caught just seven of 13 targets for 74 yards over Carolina's last four contests. He appears to have been passed by Jalen Coker in the Panthers' receiving corps, as the latter has tallied 213 yards and two touchdowns on 14 receptions during that span. Legette remains Carolina's second-leading receiver on the season with 338 yards across 13 appearances, but he's unlikely to carry much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.

Douglas (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Prior to being deemed questionable to return, Douglas caught one of two targets for six yards. He had no targets in New England's Week 15 loss to the Bills.
