Lamar Jackson QB | BAL
Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Injures back on SNF
Jackson (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Ja'Tavion Sanders TE | CAR
Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Snags TD in Week 16 win
Sanders caught both of his targets for nine yards and one touchdown in Carolina's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Sanders' six-yard touchdown in the third quarter gave the Panthers a 20-17 lead. The tight end has produced fewer than 20 receiving yards in eight of his 12 appearances this season and offers little fantasy value headed into next Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

TreVeyon Henderson RB | NE
Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Questionable due to head injury
Henderson (head) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Henderson was deemed questionable to return shortly after being taken to the locker room. The team has not given any indication that the running back suffered a concussion. Henderson rushed five times and caught his only target for nine yards prior to getting hurt. While Henderson is sidelined, Rhamondre Stevenson will lead New England's backfield.

Jaylen Warren RB | PIT
Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Career-best rushing performance
Warren rushed the ball 14 times for 143 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Lions. He added two receptions on two targets for eight yards.
The backfield split in Pittsburgh remained consistent, with Warren taking the lead on the ground and Kenneth Gainwell working as the preferred pass catcher. Warren came alive in the second half, ripping off nearly identical 45-yard touchdown runs on back-to-back possessions in the fourth quarter while also chipping in an additional 21-yard gain. The end result was a career-high 143 yards on the ground and Warren's first time cracking the century mark since Week 7. It was a needed showing, as he had also been held below 40 rushing yards in three straight games entering Sunday's matchup.

Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Struggles in Week 16 return
London (knee) had three receptions on eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.
London returned from a four-game absence due to a knee injury and was held in check by Arizona's defense. The star wideout was averaging 6.7 receptions and 90.0 yards in nine active games prior to going down in Week 11, highlighting the stark drop-off in production in Sunday's return. The good news is that London appeared to get through the contest without suffering a setback, potentially setting up a true return to form in Week 17 against the Rams.

TreVeyon Henderson RB | NE
Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Heads to locker room on SNF
Henderson (undisclosed) went to the locker room in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Henderson is likely dealing with a head injury after hitting his head on the turf. He first went to the blue medical tent, per Lazar, probably to be evaluated for a concussion. The team will likely provide an update on Henderson's status shortly. Prior to the injury, Henderson rushed five times for three yards and caught his only target for nine yards.

Malik Washington WR | MIA
Dolphins' Malik Washington: Rushing TD in loss
Washington caught his lone target for 23 yards and rushed one time for a nine-yard touchdown in Miami's 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
After catching multiple passes in 13 of his first 14 games, Washington has now posted back-to-back one-catch games on a total of two targets. Washington, however, was able to salvage his box score with a nine-yard rushing score in the second quarter to give the Dolphins a 14-10 lead. Cincinnati would then go on to score 35 straight points to bury the Dolphins. Washington has minimal fantasy appeal headed into next Sunday's date with Tampa Bay.

Jahmyr Gibbs RB | DET
Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Struggles continue as rusher
Gibbs rushed the ball seven times for two yards in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers. He added 10 receptions on 13 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown.
The Lions ran a very pass-heavy offense, with Jared Goff attempting 54 passes compared to only 12 rushing attempts for the team. That naturally limited Gibbs' production on the ground, though he still underwhelmed as a rusher and has now been held below 50 rushing yards in four of his last six games. Gibbs still managed to have a productive fantasy performance thanks to his work as a receiver, as he recorded double-digit catches for the third time this season while also reaching the end zone on a four-yard reception late in the fourth quarter.

Joshua Farmer DT | NE
Patriots' Joshua Farmer: Questionable to return Sunday
Farmer has a hamstring injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
The defensive tackle did not record a stat before exiting. Farmer has played primarily in a rotational role for New England this year.

Zack Baun LB | PHI
Eagles' Zack Baun: Leads Philly in tackles
Baun recorded nine tackles (three solo) in Saturday's 29-18 win over the Commanders.
The inside linebacker has recorded at least six tackles in every game but one this season, posting 117 (58 solo), including 3.5 sacks, for the year. Baun also has seven pass breakups, including two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. The 2024 All-Pro has played on nearly every defensive snap this season for Philadelphia.
