Kupp caught three of four targets for 39 yards, lost a fumble and caught a two-point conversion in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win over the Rams.

Kupp fumbled at the end of a 17-yard catch late in the first half, but he contributed to Seattle's comeback by securing the first of the Seahawks' three successful two-point conversions, all of which proved pivotal in the one-point win. The former Rams wide receiver continues to work as the distant second option among Seattle's wideouts behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, as no other Seahawks wide receiver recorded a catch Thursday, though Rashid Shaheed contributed a punt return touchdown and a 31-yard run. Kupp will face the Panthers in Week 17.

Mevis made three of four field-goal attempts and all four PAT tries in Thursday's 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

Mevis didn't make a kick longer than 41 yards, and he missed from 48 yards with 2:11 remaining in the fourth quarter and the game tied at 30-30. His first miss in seven games as a member of the Rams proved to be costly. Mevis should maintain a decent fantasy floor thanks to the scoring opportunities provided by the Rams' elite offense, but he lacks the mix of power and accuracy possessed by the NFL's top kickers. Up next for the Rams is a Week 17 trip to Atlanta on MNF.

Myers didn't attempt a field goal and made both PAT attempts in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win over the Rams.

The Seahawks couldn't afford to settle for field goals while trying to dig out of a 16-point fourth-quarter hole and went for two after each of their last three touchdowns. Myers had connected on at least three field-goal attempts in each of the previous six games, and he accounted for all 18 of Seattle's points in Week 15 with six field goals against the Colts. Thursday's ill-timed downturn could cost Myers' fantasy managers in the playoffs, but those that pull through can likely expect a bounce-back performance from one of the league's top kickers in Week 17 against the Panthers.

Merriweather was signed to Houston's practice squad Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Merriweather, originally signed by Tampa Bay in 2023 as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa, was waived by the Buccaneers on Wednesday. He has 46 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, two passes defensed and one fumble recovery over 42 career regular-season games in the NFL.

Barner brought in four of six targets for 49 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for one yard in the Seahawks' 38-37 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday night.

Barner helped spark the Seahawks' second-half rally with a 26-yard touchdown reception with just over six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Barner's TD grab snapped a nine-game scoreless drought, and the second-year pro's yardage total was his highest in the last five contests. Barner will look to carry the momentum from his best performance in more than a month over into a Week 17 road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 28.

Mumpfield secured three of eight targets for 40 yards in the Rams' 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.

Mumpfield helped fill in for the sidelined Davante Adams (hamstring/knee) and drew the second-most targets on the night from Matthew Stafford, although he still only got to half of team leader Puka Nacua's total. Mumpfield wasn't efficient with his opportunities, but he still finished with new career highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Mumpfield could continue in an expanded role in a Week 17 road matchup against the Falcons on Monday night, Dec. 29 if Adams remains sidelined for that contest.

Charbonnet rushed nine times for 32 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for 22 yards in the Seahawks' 38-37 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday night. He was also credited with a two-point conversion run.

Charbonnet was two carries behind Kenneth Walker, and although the latter outgained him by 68 rushing yards and 42 receiving yards, the former was able to join his backfield mate in scoring a rushing touchdown. Charbonnet recorded a four-yard TD run in the first quarter to open the scoring, and he alertly picked up a ball in the end zone on a fourth-quarter two-point conversion attempt after it had initially been batted by Jared Verse and subsequently ruled a backward pass. Charbonnet continues to operate in a reliable complementary role alongside Walker and now has nine rushing touchdowns on the season, affording him some standalone fantasy value in deeper formats for a Week 17 road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 28.

Corum rushed 14 times for 48 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for 13 yards in the Rams' 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.

Corum still logged nine fewer carries than backfield mate Kyren Williams, but he was the only one of the two to get into the end zone. Corum scored his sixth touchdown of the season on a one-yard run in the third quarter directly following an interception of Sam Darnold, and the second-year back logged a career-high carry total. Corum has now recorded double-digit rush attempts in three straight games and has scored five times over the last four contests, giving him plenty of standalone value going into a Week 17 road matchup against the Falcons on Monday night, Dec. 29.

Williams rushed 23 times for 70 yards and brought in three of six targets for 15 yards in the Rams' 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.

Williams put in a workmanlike performance that saw him hit the 70-yard threshold on the ground for the fourth straight game and seventh in the last eight contests overall. However, Williams also saw backfield mate Blake Corum draw a red-zone rushing opportunity at the one-yard line in the third quarter that he converted into a touchdown. Williams saw a three-game scoring streak snapped Thursday, but he remains the clear lead back going into a Week 17 road matchup against the Falcons on Monday night, Dec. 29.

Darnold completed 22 of 34 passes for 270 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions while adding three rushes for seven yards in the Seahawks' 38-37 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday night. He also threw a pair of two-point conversion passes.

Darnold threw his fifth and sixth interceptions against the Rams this season in the second half, with the first pick leading to a Blake Corum one-yard touchdown one play later. However, the veteran signal-caller bounced back with a 26-yard touchdown strike to AJ Barner with just over six minutes remaining in regulation, and he then led a nine-play, 65-yard march in overtime that he capped off with a four-yard touchdown toss to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Head coach Mike Macdonald then opted to go for the game-winning two-point conversion, and Darnold delivered once again by finding Eric Saubert to seal the comeback victory. Darnold's multi-touchdown tally was his third in the last five games, and he'll look to carry over the late-game momentum into a Week 17 road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 28.
