    Jaguars' Cam Little: Makes all eight kicks vs. NYJ

    Little made both of his field-goal attempts and went 6-for-6 on extra-point tries during the Jaguars' 48-20 win over the Jets on Sunday.

    Little saw the field mostly on point-after tries and kickoffs as the Jaguars offense put on a dominant showing Sunday, but he did connect on short field goals from 33 and 22 yards in the second and third quarter, respectively. It's the eighth time this season that Little has connected on two or more field goals, five of which have come in the seven games since the Jaguars' Week 8 bye. Since the bye, the second-year kicker has made all 13 of his field-goal attempts and each of his 25 point-after tries.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Hauls in two TDs against Cards

    Collins caught three of four targets for 85 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona.

    The Texans' top wideout turned C.J. Stroud's first pass of the day into a 57-yard touchdown, setting the tone for the rout, and Collins then scored Houston's last TD with a four-yard grab in the fourth quarter. It was his first multi-score performance of the season, but he's been locked in since missing a Week 8 clash with the Niners due to a concussion. Over the last seven games, Collins has racked up a 38-662-3 line on 61 targets while also adding a score on the ground. Collins will look to keep rolling in Week 16 against the Raiders.

  • Nick Folk K | ATL

    Jets' Nick Folk: Makes all four kicks Week 15

    Folk made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his point-after tries during the Jets' 48-20 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Folk made easy work of a 41-yarder late in the second quarter before sneaking in a 51-yard field goal early in the third frame. It's the 10th time this season that the veteran kicker has made at least two field goals in a game. Folk is now 25-for-26 on field-goal attempts and 21-for-21 on extra-point tries through 14 regular-season games.

  • Cesar Ruiz C | NO

    Saints' Cesar Ruiz: Suffers ankle injury

    Ruiz (ankle) is questionable to return to New Orleans' matchup versus the Panthers on Sunday.

    Ruiz sustained the injury in the second half, making his status for the remainder of the game uncertain. Dillon Radunz should fill in at right guard if Ruiz ends up being unable to return to Sunday's matchup.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Modest showing against former team

    Diggs caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills.

    Diggs set season highs with 10 catches for 146 yards in his Week 5 return to Buffalo, but he couldn't muster much in the rematch 10 weeks later. He has faded down the stretch with 26 or fewer receiving yards in each of the past three games. The Patriots have relied primarily on the running game with the weather getting colder, and that game plan may not change in Week 16 at Baltimore.

  • Saints' Devaughn Vele: Injures shoulder in Week 15

    Vele sustained a shoulder injury during Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

    Prior to his exit early in the fourth quarter, Vele had recorded five catches (on six targets) for 69 yards. In Vele's absence, the Saints are left with Mason Tipton, Dante Pettis and Kevin Austin at wide receiver behind top option Chris Olave.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Efficient but outplayed by Henderson

    Stevenson rushed six times for 50 yards and caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills.

    Stevenson played second fiddle to TreVeyon Henderson, who turned 14 carries and three targets into 161 scrimmage yards, including touchdown runs of 52 and 65 yards. Henderson has emerged as the clear No. 1 option in New England's backfield down the stretch, and this was only the third time that Stevenson reached the 50-yard threshold on the ground in 11 appearances this season. Stevenson will likely continue to cede most of the touches to Henderson in Week 16 against the Ravens.

  • Khalil Shakir WR | BUF

    Bills' Khalil Shakir: Leads Bills pass catchers in win

    Shakir secured all five targets for 65 yards in the Bills' 35-31 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

    Shakir led the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets on an afternoon when Josh Allen threw for just 193 yards. The fourth-year pro eclipsed 50 receiving yards for only the second time in the last five games, as Buffalo's air attack continues to spread the ball around heavily to multiple pass catchers each week. Shakir will next set his sights on the Browns' injury-hampered secondary in a Week 16 road matchup next Sunday afternoon.

  • Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: Gets eight touches in rout

    Ogunbowale carried the ball five times for two yards and caught three of four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals.

    The veteran RB was expected to be used mostly on special teams as usual, but Woody Marks picked up an ankle injury in the first quarter and didn't see the field in the second half with the game well in hand. Jawhar Jordan, in his first career NFL action, wound up seeing the bulk of the backfield work in the second half, but Ogunbowale also nearly doubled his season touch total as he got significant work on offense as well. Either or both of Marks and Nick Chubb (ribs) could be back in Week 16 against the Raiders, but even if both remain sidelined, Ogunbowale would likely work behind Jordan once again.

  • Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU

    Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Tops century mark in rushing yards

    Jordan carried the ball 15 times for 101 yards and caught both his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals.

    Nick Chubb (ribs) was inactive, and Woody Marks picked up an ankle injury in the first quarter and didn't return in the second half, which left Jordan to handle the bulk of the work in the backfield to close out the rout. The 2024 sixth-round pick took full advantage of the first action of his NFL career with an outstanding performance. The score was 23-7 at halftime, which may have contributed to the decision to shut down Marks, and it's not clear yet how much time Chubb might need to miss. At the very least, Jordan showed he can be relied upon if needed, which could come as soon as Week 16 against the Raiders.
