Patrick wasn't targeted during Sunday's 48-20 win against the Jets.

The 32-year-old played just two fewer offensive snaps than No. 3 wideout Parker Washington but wasn't involved in the passing game. Patrick took advantage of Washington's absence due to a hip injury last week and caught five passes for 78 yards and a touchdown, but Patick likely won't have many opportunities while Washington, Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers are healthy.

Tuten carried once for seven yards and caught his lone target for a 16-yard touchdown during Sunday's 48-20 win against the Jets. He also returned three kickoffs for 93 yards.

The rookie fourth-round pick played just 11 offensive snaps but scored his sixth touchdown of the season during the second quarter. Despite consecutive blowout victories, Tuten has just four offensive touches in those contests, as starting tailback Travis Etienne has returned to more of a workhorse role for Jacksonville.

Shavers played 34 of the Bills' 67 offensive snaps but wasn't targeted during Sunday's 35-31 win over the Patriots.

The San Diego State product has now gone without a target in three of the Bills last four games. However, he still played the third-most offensive snaps amongst Buffalo wideouts during Sunday's loss, trailing Khalil Shakir (45) and Keon Coleman (38). Expect Shavers to continue playing a depth role in the Bills' receiving corps in the Week 16 matchup against the Browns.

Strange caught one of three targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 48-20 win against the Jets.

The 25-year-old didn't get on the board until a 26-yard reception in the third quarter, and he's now totaled just four catches for 53 yards across the past two games. Jacksonville's offense has been humming with seven straight games of at least 25 points, the last three of which have been blowout victories. Strange has clearly established himself as the Jaguars' No. 1 tight end but has limited upside for fantasy managers with the offense primarily running through Travis Etienne, Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers. In nine games this season, Strange has caught 32 passes for 395 yards and one touchdown.

Davis caught his lone target for 13 yards and returned four kickoffs for 164 yards during Sunday's 35-31 win over the Patriots.

Although Davis played a minimal offensive role in Sunday's comeback win, he averaged 41 yards per kickoff return and consistently provided the Bills' offense with good field position. Since taking over as Buffalo's lead kickoff returner in the Week 9 win over the Chiefs, Davis has accumulated 745 return yards and a touchdown, averaging a league-leading 32.4 yards per return, a mark that would also set a Bills franchise record. The second-year pro from Kentucky is expected to remain one of the NFL's most dynamic return men in the Week 16 matchup against the Browns.

Tinsley caught one of two targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Ravens.

The Penn State product operated as the Bengals' No. 3 wideout Sunday while Tee Higgins (concussion) was sidelined. However, Tinsley saw just two targets, with the vast majority of Cincinnati's receiving work going to Ja'Marr Chase and Chase Brown, who combined to catch 17 of 23 targets for 169 yards. Tinsley has now recorded eight receptions on 23 targets for 116 yards and two touchdowns through 14 appearances this season. He's likely to remain a depth option in the Bengals' receiver room in the Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins.

Reichard went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

The second-year pro from Alabama has not missed a kick since the Week 8 loss to the Chargers. On the year, Reichard has made 24 of 26 field-goal tries and all 27 of his point-after attempts. He's expected to remain one of the NFL's top kickers in the Week 16 matchup against the Giants.

Likely was not targeted Sunday against the Bengals.

Likely's usage was surprising Sunday given that he had been playing better of late, including his five-catch, 95-yard game against the Bengals in Week 13. There were some factors working against Likely, though. Baltimore ran just 40 plays and possessed the ball for 20 minutes. Further, Lamar Jackson only attempted 12 passes as the team leaned on the ground game. Likely played 50 percent of the snaps, which is in line with his usual percentage, but he was not able to draw one of the few targets that were available Sunday. The Ravens host the Patriots on Sunday Night Football in Week 16.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Marks "could have come back in the game" after the running back exited early with an ankle injury during Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houson reports.

Ryans said Marks "got his ankle tweaked a little bit there early in the game," but the Texans opted to keep the rookie running back on the sideline to "make sure [he] is good as we continue to go into the week." Those comments seemingly bode well for Marks' chances of gaining clearance for Week 16, when Houston will face a plus matchup at home against the Raiders. That said, the next tangible update on Marks' health may not arrive until the team resumes practicing Wednesday. Nick Chubb (ribs) was inactive versus Arizona, so if Marks isn't able to return versus Las Vegas, Jawhar Jordan could get a chance to follow up on his 101-yard performance against Arizona.

Etienne didn't play a single offensive snap but logged 25 kick-return yards and 16 punt-return yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

The rookie running back from Georgia has now gone without an offensive snap in three of the Panthers' last five games. He's primarily contributed as Carolina's top return man this season, recording 642 kickoff-return yards and 127 punt-return yards across 14 appearances. Etienne is expected to remain a depth piece in the Panthers' backfield while continuing to contribute on special teams in the Week 16 matchup against the Buccaneers.
