Kareem Hunt RB | KC
Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Next to nothing on seven touches
Hunt rushed six times for 12 yards and brought in one of two targets for eight yards in the Chiefs' 16-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Hunt was stonewalled on the ground by a Chargers defense that had often been beatable this season, and he also logged five fewer carries than backfield mate Isiah Pacheco, who didn't fare any better than Hunt while churning out just 1.9 yards per carry. The entire outlook for the Chiefs' offense also darkened considerably once it was confirmed Patrick Mahomes suffered a torn ACL on Sunday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, so Hunt may continue to find running room at a premium over the final three games of the season.

Tyler Loop K | BAL
Ravens' Tyler Loop: Makes every kick Sunday
Loop made all three extra-point tries and his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Bengals.
Loop's field goal only came from 27 yards out, so it was a day of short kicks for the rookie, but he did his job. The sixth-round pick has been doing his job all year, going 26-of-28 on field goals and 33-of-35 on extra points.

Jordan Love QB | GB
Packers' Jordan Love: Two turnovers in loss
Love completed 24 of 40 passes for 276 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos. He added three rushes for 29 yards.
Love attempted at least 40 passes for only the second time this season, and for the first time since Week 4. He had plenty of strong moments, highlighted by four completions of at least 20 yards, as well as a scramble that picked up 24 yards. Love's lone touchdown of the game came on a lofted pass to the back corner of the end zone to Josh Jacobs from 14 yards away. While those moments helped keep the Packers in the game, Love threw a pair of key picks -- one that led to a Broncos touchdown and another that ended a potential game-tying drive late in the fourth quarter. He should have the chance to bounce back in a softer Week 16 matchup in an NFC North showdown with the Bears.

Andres Borregales K | NE
Patriots' Andy Borregales: Converts only FGA in loss
Borregales made his only field-goal try and went 4-for-4 on PATs in Sunday's 35-31 loss to Buffalo.
Borregales didn't attempt multiple field goals for the first time since Week 10, ultimately converting his only try from 36 yards as time expired in the first half. The kicker has now gone 24-for-27 on field-goal attempts, including 3-for-3 from 50-plus yards, while also making 40 of 41 PATs over 14 contests during his rookie campaign so far.

Brock Purdy QB | SF
49ers' Brock Purdy: Flexes on lowly Titans
Purdy completed 23 of 30 pass attempts for 295 yards and three touchdowns while adding seven carries for 44 yards and a lost fumble in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Titans.
The 49ers' Week 14 bye did Purdy wonders. In addition to allowing the quarterback's body to gain strength after returning from injury just weeks prior, it also afforded the coaching staff an extra week to game plan against an inferior opponent. The end result Sunday was the 25-year-old's finest fantasy outing to date in 2025. Purdy will face a stiffer test on the road against the Colts next Monday, but his fantasy arrow is pointing up for Week 16.

Kimani Vidal RB | LAC
Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Held in check Sunday
Vidal rushed 12 times for 33 yards and brought in his only target for 15 yards in the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.
Vidal logged three fewer rush attempts than backfield mate Omarion Hampton and was a lot less efficient, averaging 2.8 yards per carry to his teammate's 4.1. Vidal did at least extend his streak of consecutive games with double-digit carries to three contests, and he figures to continue enjoying a relatively robust complementary role in a Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday afternoon.

Cairo Santos K | CHI
Bears' Cairo Santos: Makes one FGA in Week 15
Santos went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made all four of his PATs in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns.
Santos hit the right upright on a 35-yard field-goal attempt, notching his first miss since Week 11. The kicker later redeemed himself with a 41-yard make in the fourth quarter. On the year, Santos has now gone 21-for-26 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while converting all 33 of his extra-point attempts over 12 contests.

Hunter Luepke RB | DAL
Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: Done for night
Luepke (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's contest against the Vikings, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Luepke suffered a concussion during Sunday Night Football, bringing his night to a premature end. The Cowboys will have to operate without a fullback for the remainder of the game. He saw a season-high five touches prior to being ruled out, turning the volume into 30 scrimmage yards.
-
Harrison Butker K | KC
Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Perfect in loss
Butker made both field-goal tries and his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers.
Butker connected from 27 and 47 yards, respectively. The kicker has missed eight times this season between field goals and extra points, though six of those came in the first six weeks of the season. At the same time, the veteran may be limited moving forward by a struggling offense that no longer has Patrick Mahomes (knee) for the rest of the season.

Javonte Williams RB | DAL
Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Returns to SNF after halftime
Williams (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's game against the Vikings, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Williams is back in the game after halftime. He didn't play in the second quarter after being deemed questionable to return due to a shoulder injury in the first quarter. Malik Davis and Hunter Luepke were Dallas' backfield options during Williams' absence, but Luepke won't return due to a concussion.
