Ray Davis RB | BUF
Bills' Ray Davis: More involved in Week 16
Davis rushed three times for 14 yards and caught both of his targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns. He also returned four kickoffs for 92 yards.
Davis' five offensive touches during Sunday's win were the most he's received since the Bills' Week 13 win over the Steelers. Despite this, the Kentucky product played just eight offensive snaps, suggesting he remains behind both James Cook and Ty Johnson in Buffalo's backfield. Davis has now tallied 837 kickoff-return yards, 120 rushing yards and 51 receiving yards through the Bills' first 15 games this season. He's expected to remain one of the league's premier return men in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Minimal usage in loss
Golden rushed twice for four yards and didn't catch his lone target during Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears.
Golden has now logged just one target in two of the Packers' last three games. He played 22 offensive snaps during Saturday's loss, trailing Jayden Reed (45), Christian Watson (43), Romeo Doubs (43) and Dontayvion Wicks (30). Golden, a 2025 first-round pick from Texas, has had an underwhelming start to his NFL career, catching 27 of 38 targets for 341 yards and rushing 10 times for 49 yards across 12 contests. He likely won't carry much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Ravens, especially with the uncertainty surround Green Bay's quarterback situation stemming from both Jordan Love (concussion) and Malik Willis (shoulder) dealing with injuries.

Quintin Morris TE | JAC
Jaguars' Quintin Morris: One catch in win
Morris caught his lone target for five yards during Sunday's 34-20 win against the Broncos.
The 26-year-old continues to operate as Jacksonville's No. 3 tight end, playing 19 offensive snaps compared to Brenton Strange's 52 and Johnny Mundt's 25 in Sunday's win. Morris has caught five passes for 50 yards through 12 games this season, with all of those receptions coming in the past six contests.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | PHI
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Just two catches in Week 16
Wicks caught both of his targets for 12 yards during Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears.
Since Wicks' stellar Week 13 performance against the Lions (6-94-2), he's caught three of four targets for just 18 yards over the Packers' last three games. The Virginia product has flashed throughout the season, appearing in 13 contests and recording 325 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 29 receptions. He's expected to remain a depth option in Green Bay's receiving corps in the Week 17 matchup against the Ravens.

Luke Musgrave TE | GB
Packers' Luke Musgrave: Remains involved Saturday
Musgrave caught all three of his targets for 38 yards during Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears.
The third-year pro from Oregon State tallied the second-most receiving yards on the Packers during Saturday's loss, trailing Romeo Doubs (5-84-1). Musgrave's role in Green Bay's offense may be growing, as he's caught seven of nine targets for 90 yards over the last two games. However, he likely won't have much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Ravens, especially with injuries to both Jordan Love (concussion) and Malik Willis (shoulder).
-
Christopher Brooks RB | GB
Packers' Chris Brooks: One carry vs. Chicago
Brooks rushed once for four yards during Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears.
The 25-year-old played 15 offensive snaps and primarily served as Green Bay's top pass-blocking running back during Saturday's loss. In 15 games this season, Brooks has rushed 14 times for 45 yards and caught 12 of 15 targets for 80 yards. The BYU product could serve as the Packers' No. 2 RB in the Week 17 matchup against the Ravens if Josh Jacobs (knee) is sidelined.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes three PATs vs. Houston
Carlson converted all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans.
The Auburn product has now gone without a field-goal attempt in three of Las Vegas' last four games. On the season, Carlson has made 17 of 22 field-goal tries and 20 of 21 point-after attempts through 15 contests. His next opportunity to score will likely come in the Week 17 matchup against the Giants.
-
LeQuint Allen RB | JAC
Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Four touches in No. 2 role
Allen rushed four times for 10 yards and returned three kickoffs for 73 yards during Sunday's 34-20 win against the Broncos.
The rookie seventh-round pick stepped into the No. 2 backfield role with Bhayshul Tuten (finger) sidelined, and Allen played 21 of 70 offensive snaps. Starter Travis Etienne dominated the backfield work with 20 touches, and that's a trend that's likely to continue during the final two weeks of the regular season, with Allen working as the primary backup as long as Tuten is out.
-
Joey Slye K | TEN
Titans' Joey Slye: Makes four kicks vs. Kansas City
Slye made all three of his extra-point tries and his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 26-9 win over the Chiefs.
Most of the 29-year-old's work came in the second half of Sunday's win, making a 26-yard field goal and two extra points during that span. Slye has had an up-and-down year for the Titans, converting on 24 of 30 field-goal tries and 23 of 24 point-after attempts across 14 contests. His next opportunity to kick will likely come in the Week 17 matchup against the Saints.

Ben Sauls K | NYG
Giants' Ben Sauls: Perfect in NFL debut
Sauls converted both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.
The 24-year-old impressed during his NFL debut, making field goals of 27 and 39 yards while also converting his only point-after attempt. Following Sunday's performance, Sauls will likely remain the Giants' top placekicker in the Week 17 matchup against the Raiders.
