Michael Pittman WR | PIT
Colts' Michael Pittman: Quiet in Rivers' first start w/ IND
Pittman had three receptions on five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.
Philip Rivers' first start with the Colts in 2025 did not generate any fantasy stars from the receiving corps. Pittman did lead all Indianapolis wide receivers in targets and yardage, but that is not saying much in a game during which the offense was held to 120 passing yards. Pittman's value understandably dropped off following the news of QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) missing the rest of the season, and Rivers coming out of retirement may not be able to salvage it. The 27-year-old Pittman carries more value in deep and PPR formats for next Monday's tilt against the 49ers.

Jonathan Greenard LB | PHI
Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Dealing with shoulder issue
Greenard (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against Dallas.
Greenard suffered an apparent shoulder injury in the fourth quarter, and his status for the stretch run of Sunday Night Football is now in doubt. In his absence, Dallas Turner is a candidate to see increased playing time at linebacker versus the Cowboys.

Brian O'Neill OT | MIN
Vikings' Brian O'Neill: Questionable to return
O'Neill (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Cowboys.
O'Neill suffered an ankle injury in the second half, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. In his absence, Blake Brandel has taken over at right tackle versus Dallas.

Kyren Williams RB | LAR
Rams' Kyren Williams: Hits pay dirt twice in Week 15
Williams rushed 15 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns while catching his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions.
Williams got the Rams' offense cooking with a couple of trips to the end zone in the first half of Sunday's victory. The 24-year-old is now up to 10 rushing touchdowns on the season, giving him double-digits in the category for three consecutive years. Williams also hit the 1,000-yard mark as a rusher Sunday, a feat he has also accomplished in each of his last three campaigns. Blake Corum (11-71-1) remained a factor in his backup role, but Williams is the Rams' clear RB1 for Thursday's pivotal NFC West matchup against the Seahawks.

Daniel Carlson K | LV
Raiders' Daniel Carlson: No kicks in Week 15
Carlson did not attempt a field goal or a PAT in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles.
Carlson has now gone without a field-goal try for the second time in three weeks while making one or zero field goals in seven of the last eight games overall. The kicker has limited upside while operating with a struggling Las Vegas offense, and he hasn't necessarily done himself any favors this season, going 17-for-22 on field-goal attempts, including 3-for-6 from 50-plus yards, over 14 contests so far.

Evan McPherson K | CIN
Bengals' Evan McPherson: Kickless in blowout loss
McPherson did not log a field-goal attempt or an extra-point try in Sunday's 24-0 loss to Baltimore.
McPherson went without a field-goal try for the second straight week, which is quite the change of pace after he had gone 12-for-13 on field-goal tries over his four previous contests. The kicker has gone 23-for-26 on field-goal attempts, including 4-for-7 from 50-plus yards, and he'll look to get back on track against the Dolphins in Week 16.

Rico Dowdle RB | PIT
Panthers' Rico Dowdle: Touchdown saves inefficient showing
Dowdle rushed the ball 16 times for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints. He added one reception on one target for five yards.
Dowdle reclaimed the lead-back role in Carolina, out-touching Chuba Hubbard 17-9. However, he found very limited room to run, with his longest gain going for only eight yards while averaging under 4.0 yards per carry for the fourth time in his last five games. Dowdle did manage to save his day with a four-yard touchdown midway through the first quarter, his first time reaching the end zone since Week 10. Overall, Dowdle has failed to reach 100 yards from scrimmage in four of his last five games despite seeing at least 17 touches in all but one matchup in that span.

Javon Hargrave NT | GB
Vikings' Javon Hargrave: Won't return Sunday night
Hargrave (groin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's matchup with the Cowboys.
The defensive tackle exited with the injury earlier in the second half. Levi Drake Rodriguez and Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins could see more snaps in his absence.
-
Chad Ryland K | ARI
Cardinals' Chad Ryland: No FGAs in loss
Ryland did not attempt a field goal and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 40-20 loss to Houston.
Ryland went without a field-goal try for the first time since Week 10 and the third time overall this year. On the bright side, the kicker snapped his streak of four straight games with a field-goal miss. Ryland has now gone six games in a row with one or zero field-goal makes, and he'll look to be busier in Week 16 against the Falcons.

Wil Lutz K | DEN
Broncos' Wil Lutz: No FGAs in win
Lutz did not attempt a field goal and made all four of his PATs in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.
Lutz went without a field-goal attempt for the first time since Week 4, and he has now made one or zero field goals in six of the last eight games overall. The kicker still has had a strong season, going 20-for-23 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while making all 34 of his extra-point attempts over 14 contests.
