Gesicki caught three of four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.

The veteran tight end caught the fourth of Joe Burrow's four scores on the day, hauling in a 17-yard TD in the fourth quarter. Gesicki has made just two trips to the end zone in 11 games this season, but they've both come in the last three weeks, a stretch in which he's posted a 10-132-2 line on 12 targets. He'll look to exploit another soft matchup in Week 17 against the Cardinals.

Young completed 21 of 32 passes for 191 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding four rushes for 20 yards in the Panthers' 23-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Young turned in a relatively efficient effort in the grindy division win, and most important, he avoided any turnovers for the third straight game. The 2023 first overall pick connected with Tetairoa McMillan (22 yards) and Ja'Tavion Sanders (six yards) for his pair of scoring passes late in the second and third quarters, respectively, and he led a late seven-play, 43-yard drive that culminated in what would turn out to be the game-winning field goal. Young and the Panthers draw a tough Week 17 assignment, however, as the Seahawks drop in for a visit next Sunday afternoon.

Froholdt (elbow) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Froholdt is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Jon Gaines has shifted over to center and Hayden Conner is in the game at left guard following Froholdt's exit, per Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com.

St-Juste sustained a shoulder injury during the Chargers' 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

St-Juste was unable to return to the game due to his shoulder injury, and his status for the Chargers' Week 17 tilt against the Texans on Saturday may not be known until later in the week. He tallied six tackles (three solo) before leaving Sunday's contest.

Harris caught four of his five targets for 54 yards in the 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

The rookie set his career high in receiving yards (49) last week and immediately surpassed that the following game in large part due to the 34 receiving yards he tallied on the opening drive. Harris has effectively maintained a similar snap count week to week, and even in the event he sees his playing time jump, Houston's defense figures to present significant complications to Los Angeles' offense in the Week 17 contest.

Higgins caught all three of his targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.

Making his return from another one-game absence due to a concussion, Higgins made an immediate impact by connecting with Joe Burrow on a nine-yard TD in the first quarter. He's had to sit out two of the last three weeks while in the concussion protocol, but Higgins had has a nose for the end zone this season whenever he's been in the lineup, finding paydirt in six of his last seven appearances and hauling in 10 touchdowns in total over 13 games in 2025. His next score will set a new career high, a mark he'll look to reach in Week 17 against the Cardinals.

Lockett exited Sunday's game against the Texans due to a wrist injury.

Before his departure, Lockett didn't record a catch. In his absence, Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, Dont'e Thornton and Alex Bachman are in line to handle the Raiders' Week 16 WR duties.

Mekari (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Broncos, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Mekari suffered a back injury in the second quarter, making his status for the remainder of the game uncertain. Wyatt Milum should take over at right guard if Mekari ends up being unable to return.

Shough completed 32 of 39 pass attempts for 308 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for eight yards in Sunday's 29-6 win over the Jets.

Shough posted the first 300-yard passing performance of his NFL career, pushing past his previous career high of 282 passing yards. The highlight of the rookie second-round pick's impressive performance was a 23-yard touchdown pass to Chris Olave in the third quarter, as Shough carried the offense with his arm while the Saints played with a depleted backfield. Shough and the Saints will take a three-game winning streak into an eminently winnable Week 17 road game against the Titans.

Chase caught nine of 11 targets for 109 yards in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.

The superstar wideout topped 100 receiving yards for the seventh time this season, and the third time in four games since Joe Burrow came off IR. During that four-game stretch, Chase has hauled in 31 passes on 49 targets for 395 yards but curiously hasn't gotten into the end zone once, and his TD drought stands at six games. He'll look to hit paydirt for the first time since Week 7 in a Week 17 clash with the Cardinals.
