De'Von Achane RB | MIA
Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Long rushing TD in loss
Achane rushed 15 times for 81 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for nine yards in the Dolphins' 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
The highlight of Achane's afternoon came on his 48-yard scoring scamper late in the first quarter, which served as his third-longest run of the season. Achane's touchdown was his eighth on the ground in 2025, with five of those coming within the last six contests. Achane also now has multiple catches in consecutive contests heading into a Week 17 home matchup against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

Ladd McConkey WR | LAC
Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Another touchdown in win
McConkey caught four of his six targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys.
McConkey will be hard-pressed to surpass his yardage total from last year given the litany of offensive line injuries Los Angeles has tried to survive, but the second-year wideout has quietly become a potent scoring threat -- he tallied his 13th regular-season touchdown of his career Sunday. The 24-year-old has yet to surpass 50 receiving yards since a stretch where he exceeded the mark in five consecutive games in Weeks 6-10. That directly coincides with the timing of the injury to Joe Alt (ankle) and bears keeping in mind for fantasy managers ahead of a difficult matchup against the Texans in Week 17.

Chase Brown RB | CIN
Bengals' Chase Brown: Finds paydirt three times in Miami
Brown carried the ball 12 times for 66 yards and a touchdown and caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and two more scores in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.
All three of Brown's trips to the end zone came in the third quarter, making him the first player in the NFL this season with three TDs in the same period. It was the third time in 2025 that the third-year back has scored multiple touchdowns, but he's got only eight TDs in total (four rushing, four receiving) through 15 contests. Brown lines up for another juicy matchup in Week 17 against the Cardinals.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB | NYG
Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Tops 70 rushing yards in Week 16
Tracy rushed 16 times for 71 yards and caught both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.
Tracy reached the 70-yard threshold on the ground for the fourth time in six games. He had 16 carries to Devin Singletary's 11 while Jaxson Dart completed only seven passes and had just two carries in a quiet game for the rookie quarterback. Tracy's poised to maintain the lead-back role in the Giants' run-heavy offense in a Week 17 road game against the Raiders.

Jaxson Dart QB | NYG
Giants' Jaxson Dart: Just 33 passing yards in loss
Dart completed seven of 13 passes for 33 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings. He also rushed twice for seven yards.
Dart's first completion of the game came with just 1:47 left in the first half. He was 0-for-3 with an interception prior to that point. He continued to struggle as a passer the rest of the way as the Giants fell to 2-13 with the low-scoring loss. The Giants' penultimate game of the regular season will be a Week 17 trip to Las Vegas, which holds significant implications in the race for the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dart provided some exciting moments earlier in the season, especially with his legs, but he has topped 200 passing yards only twice in his last four starts and may be looking to run less after having been asked to take a more cautious approach down the stretch.

Joe Burrow QB | CIN
Bengals' Joe Burrow: Chucks four TDs in rout
Burrow completed 25 of 32 passes for 309 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins. He added six rushing yards on two carries.
One week after the Bengals got shut out for the first time with Burrow under center, the 29-year-old quarterback bounced back with his best performance of 2025. Burrow hit Tee Higgins for a nine-yard score in the first quarter before really getting going after halftime, finding Chase Brown for two short TDs in the third quarter before connecting with Mike Gesicki for a 17-yard touchdown in the fourth. Burrow has two four-TD games in the last three weeks and a 10:4 TD:INT in four games since returning from a toe injury, and he'll take aim at another struggling defense in a Week 17 clash with the Cardinals.

Nate Adkins TE | DEN
Broncos' Nate Adkins: Hurts knee vs. Jags in Week 16
Adkins is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville due to a knee injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Adkins had to hobble to the medical tent after getting hurt in the first half. The third-year tight end recently returned from a five-game absence due to a knee issue, but it's unclear if his injury Sunday is related. Evan Engram and Adam Trautman are Denver's two healthy remaining tight ends.

Jake Hansen LB | HOU
Texans' Jake Hansen: Questionable to return
Hansen (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Raiders.
Hansen sustained a chest injury in the first half, leaving his status for the remainder of the game up in the air. The 27-year-old will continue to see action on special teams if he manages to return versus Las Vegas.

Garrett Williams CB | ARI
Cardinals' Garrett Williams: Hurts Achilles, ruled out Week 16
Williams has been ruled out from returning to Sunday's game against Atlanta due to an Achilles injury.
Williams went down with a noncontact injury in the first quarter. He had to be carted off the field, so he may be dealing with a serious injury. Jaden Davis is seeing work on defense following Williams' exit.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Takes backseat to Wilson
Coach Matt LaFleur said Sunday that Jacobs' (knee/ankle) lack of usage after his fumble in the third quarter during Saturday's defeat at Chicago wasn't a punishment but instead mostly was due to how well No. 2 RB Emanuel Wilson was running, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports. Jacobs also didn't injure his knee further in the contest.
Jacobs logged only two offensive snaps after the aforementioned play, finishing with 14 touches for 48 yards from scrimmage. Meanwhile, Emanuel Wilson reeled off 82 yards on 14 carries. LaFleur's comments indicate Jacobs isn't any worse after the game than he was beforehand, but he also may be destined to show up on the Packers' Week 17 injury report, the first version of which will be posted Tuesday. In the end, the biggest question mark as the team prepares for next Saturday's contest against the Ravens is who will be under center, as No. 1 QB Jordan Love is in the concussion protocol, and Malik Willis is dealing with a right shoulder injury following Saturday's outing.
