Will Dissly TE | LAC
Chargers' Will Dissly: Records short reception in return
Dissly notched a one-yard reception on his lone target while playing 27 of the Chargers' 74 snaps on offense in Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles.
Dissly didn't suit up in any of the Chargers' previous five games -- once due to an illness, the other four times in coach's decisions -- but he returned to the mix Monday and served as the top backup option to starting tight end Oronde Gadsden. Los Angeles opened up the small role for Dissly by placing Tucker Fisk (ankle) on injured reserve and by making Tyler Conklin a healthy inactive for the Week 14 contest.

Hassan Haskins RB | LAC
Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Fills special-teams role in return
Haskins (hamstring) played all 21 of his snaps on special teams in Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles.
Haskins was one of two running backs the Chargers welcomed back from injured reserve for Week 14, as Omarion Hampton (ankle) was also activated prior to Monday's game. Before going down with the hamstring issue, Haskins had been seeing work behind Hampton as a short-yardage back, but Haskins' role on offense evaporated in his return. The Chargers split the backfield work between Hampton and Kimani Vidal, the latter of whom had been serving as Los Angeles' lead back while Hampton was sidelined over the previous seven games.

Grant Calcaterra TE | PHI
Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Held without target Monday
Calcaterra wasn't targeted while playing 15 of the Eagles' 71 snaps on offense in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.
Calcaterra continued to serve mainly as a blocker on offense for the Eagles; he didn't run a route on any of his 15 snaps in Week 14. Even with top tight end Dallas Goedert missing a game back in Week 2, Calcaterra hasn't made much of a splash in fantasy at any point this season. He's totaled five receptions for 48 yards and no touchdowns on eight targets through 11 appearances.

David Njoku TE | LAC
Browns' David Njoku: Not practicing Wednesday
Njoku (knee) is not in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Njoku suffered a knee injury during Cleveland's loss to the Titans in Week 14 on the play that saw him secure his only target for a one-yard touchdown catch. Now, his status appears up in the air for Sunday's game against the Bears. Rookie Harold Fannin will benefit from increased opportunities as the Browns' starting tight end if Njoku misses any time.

Kylen Granson TE | TEN
Eagles' Kylen Granson: Goes without target again
Granson didn't draw a target while playing two snaps on offense in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.
Since recording his third reception of the season in a Week 11 game against the Lions, Granson hasn't been targeted in any of the Eagles' subsequent three contests. He's logged just nine total snaps on offense during that stretch while Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra continue to work ahead of him at tight end.

Cameron Latu TE | PHI
Eagles' Cameron Latu: Limited usage on offense Monday
Latu went without a target while playing five of the Eagles' 71 snaps on offense Monday in a 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.
Latu has suited up in each of the Eagles' games since Week 2, but the reserve tight end continues to make most of his contributions on special teams. He's yet to draw a target across 59 snaps on offense this season.

Darius Cooper WR | PHI
Eagles' Darius Cooper: Longest catch of season Monday
Cooper recorded a 19-yard reception on his lone target in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.
Cooper finished fourth among Philadelphia wideouts in snaps, taking the field for 21 of the Eagles' 71 offensive plays (30 percent). He came through with his longest play of the season in the fourth quarter, when he took a pass from Jalen Hurts for a 19-yard catch and run. So long as top wideouts A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith stay healthy, the undrafted rookie out of Tarleton State is unlikely to see his role on offense expand.

Blake Grupe K | IND
Colts' Blake Grupe: Signed from practice squad
The Colts signed Grupe to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday.
Grupe was elevated to make his Colts debut during the team's Week 14 loss to the Jaguars, in which he converted both of his field-goal tries and his only extra-point attempt. With the team having cut Michael Badgley and with Spencer Shrader (knee) out for the year, Grupe figures to operate as Indianapolis' kicker for the remainder of the 2025 campaign, assuming he's able to keep up his consistency. Next on deck for Grupe and the Colts is a road matchup against Seattle on Sunday.

Brett Rypien QB | MIN
Colts' Brett Rypien: Signed to 53-man roster
The Colts signed Rypien to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday.
Head coach Shane Steichen indicated Monday that Rypien could be in line to start Sunday's game against the Seahawks if Riley Leonard (knee) is forced to miss any time due to the Grade 1 PCL sprain in his right knee, though the team has since officially inked 44-year-old veteran Philip Rivers to the practice squad. Indianapolis' plan at the quarterback position in the wake of Daniel Jones' season-ending Achilles injury figures to be an evolving situation, as Anthony Richardson (orbital) will not come off IR in Week 15 but could also join the picture eventually.

Jahan Dotson WR | ATL
Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Targeted three times in OT loss
Dotson caught one of three targets for three yards in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.
Dotson caught just one of three targets for the second straight week, as the fourth-year wideout continues to see minimal usage in the Eagles struggling aerial attack. The 25-year-old should continue to operate as Philadelphia's No. 3 wide receiver, but this role is unlikely to produce much fantasy value down the stretch. Next up for the Eagles is a Week 15 matchup against the Raiders.
