  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Another huge showing

    Lawrence completed 23 of 36 passes for 279 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Broncos. He added six rushes for 20 yards and another touchdown.

    Even facing one of the toughest matchups in the league, Lawrence continued his very strong stretch of play. He completed six passes of at least 20 yards in addition to touchdown strikes from 12, 10 and three yards away. While he had a modest yardage total on the ground, he chipped in a one-yard rushing score midway through the third quarter to give him five rushing touchdowns in his last eight contests. Overall, Lawrence has at least 240 passing yards in four of his last five games while accounting for multiple scores in all five contests. Though it didn't cost him playing time, Lawrence did have his ankle taped late in the game, which could be worth monitoring throughout the week, per Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Blanked in Week 16 win

    Kincaid failed to bring in his only target in the Bills' 23-20 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    One of Josh Allen's top targets was nowhere to be found Sunday, although Kincaid's first blanking of the season came on a day when Allen threw for only 130 yards. Given his typical importance to the air attack, Kincaid's a good bet to bounce back in a Week 17 home matchup against the Eagles.

  • Ty Johnson RB | BUF

    Bills' Ty Johnson: Scores rush TD in win

    Johnson rushed three times for 16 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 23-20 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Johnson and Ray Davis each logged three rush attempts behind James Cook's 16, and the former was able to deliver a serviceable fantasy day thanks to a two-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter. Johnson wasn't targeted for the first time in eight games, but he's likely to see his pass-catching production tick back up in a Week 17 showdown against the Eagles.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Inefficient outing Sunday

    Collins had four receptions on nine targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders.

    Collins finished as Houston's leading receiver on a team-high nine targets, but his production was muted by his worst catch rate (44 percent) since Week 10. The star wideout failed to take advantage of a soft matchup against the Raiders in a contest that wound up being much closer than many had anticipated. Collins had been on a three-game heater (12-304-2) prior to Sunday's pedestrian results, so fantasy managers in the thick of the playoff schedule are hoping for a bounce-back effort against the Chargers on Saturday.

  • Sean Tucker RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Vultures another TD opportunity

    Tucker rushed four times for three yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Tucker logged four carries and netted single-digit rushing yardage for the second straight game, but he got into the end zone for a third consecutive contest via a one-yard run with under seven minutes remaining in the third quarter. Tucker's compact 5-foot-10, 210-pound frame appears to have carved him out his current red-zone role, but he'll likely remain a TD-dependent fantasy option in a Week 17 road matchup against the Dolphins.

  • Rachaad White RB | WAS

    Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Accrues 60 total yards in loss

    White rushed five times for 45 yards and brought in both targets for 15 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    White finished with 9.0 yards per carry thanks almost exclusively to a 39-yard run he rattled off early in the second quarter. The versatile veteran back has averaged 4.8 yards per carry or more in five of the last six games, but he has logged double-digit totes just twice in that span while Bucky Irving continues to serve as the clear leader of the ground attack. White should continue in a similar change-of-pace role in a Week 17 road matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.

  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Logs seven touches in win

    Hubbard rushed six times for 27 yards and brought in his only target for seven yards in the Panthers' 23-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Hubbard logged three fewer carries than Rico Dowdle but gained just two less rushing yards, although neither back made a significant impact fantasy-wise. Hubbard surprisingly broke out for an 83-yard showing on the ground against the Chargers three games ago, but otherwise, he's been capped overall by having to share time with Dowdle. The duo will likely continue working in a close timeshare during a Week 17 home matchup against a tough Seahawks defense.

  • Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Overcomes tough matchup against HOU

    Jeanty ran the ball 24 times for 128 yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for 60 yards and another score in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans.

    Jeanty was mired in a three-game slump in which he failed to top 35 rushing yards in each start, but he broke out in impressive fashion by scoring touchdowns as both a runner and receiver Sunday. The 21-year-old accomplished the feat against arguably the league's fiercest defense of 2025, helping push the Texans to the brink of a potential shocking upset. The outburst coincided with the return of starting QB Geno Smith (shoulder/back), but the rookie tailback had been struggling with the veteran signal-caller under center earlier in the schedule. Jeanty will attempt to sprint to the finish line of an inconsistent rookie campaign by taking advantage of a soft matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

  • Jaylen Wright RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Scores late TD in loss

    Wright rushed nine times for 35 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for 18 yards in the Dolphins' 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

    Wright saw complementary snaps behind De'Von Achane and recorded his second rushing touchdown of the season on a three-yard run with just under four minutes remaining. Despite the fact he tied his second-highest carry total of the season versus Cincinnati, Wright is likely to slot into a low-volume role in a Week 17 home matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday unless Achane is injured or there's another blowout scenario at play.

  • Emeka Egbuka WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Big gain on one catch Sunday

    Egbuka brought in one of two targets for 40 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Egbuka needed just his one catch to secure the team lead in receiving yards on a day when Baker Mayfield was under the 200-yard mark for the third time in four games. Despite the splash play, fantasy managers have to be disappointed with Egbuka's stretch-run swoon, considering he's been at 42 receiving yards or fewer in five of the last six contests. Egbuka will be a relatively risky option on championship week for many fantasy leagues despite his favorable matchup against the Dolphins on the road next Sunday.
