Westbrook-Ikhine was not targeted during Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets.

Westbrook-Ikhine has now gone three straight contests without recording any statistics on offense, though he did make two tackles (one solo) versus New York while supplying coverage on punt and kickoff returns. While Westbrook-Ikhine played 34 percent of offensive snaps against the Jets, his highest share since Week 10, he remains definitively off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 15 road matchup against the Steelers on Monday Night Football.

The Bengals waived Burton on Monday.

Burton was suspended by the Bengals for Sunday's contest against the Bills, and now the team has elected to part ways with the 2024 third-rounder. Burton has yet to see regular-season action this season.

Washington caught three of four targets for 10 yards during Miami's 34-10 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Washington finished second on the team in targets behind only Jaylen Waddle (3-50-1 on seven targets), though Tua Tagovailoa looked the way of Darren Waller, Greg Dulcich, and Jaylen Wright three times each, and the early departure of De'Von Achane (ribs) knocked out one of the Dolphins' usual top contributors in the passing game. Though Washington has established a fair floor with at least three catches in eight of his last nine appearances, he's yet to surpass 50 receiving yards this season and lacks a demonstrable ceiling heading into Miami's matchup against the Steelers on Monday Night Football in Week 15.

Coach Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that Jones sustained a torn right Achilles during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars.

The quarterback will miss the remainder of the 2025 season and is slated to undergo surgery within the next week, per Steichen. Sixth-round rookie Riley Leonard, who replaced Jones Sunday, is also dealing with a knee injury of his own, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. While Steichen thinks Leonard will be able to play in Week 15 against the Seahawks, that's not a lock to happen. With Anthony Richardson (orbital fracture) still on IR and not in line to be activated this week, practice squad member Brett Rypien could end up drawing the start instead of Leonard. In his first campaign with Indianapolis, Jones had been re-establishing himself as a viable QB1, throwing for 3,101 yards with a 19:8 TD in 13 games to go along with 45 carries for 164 yards and five rushing TDs. The 28-year-old is facing a lengthy rehab, and considering that he's on track to become a free agent this offseason, his future with the Colts is uncertain.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Mitchell (knee) is viewed as day-to-day.

Mitchell left Sunday's loss to the Steelers with a knee injury, but he appears to have avoided any sort of serious setback, with Harbaugh noting that the Ravens received "good news" on the running back's status. The 23-year-old's availability for Baltimore's Week 15 matchup with Cincinnati will hinge on what he's able to do in practices Tuesday through Thursday.

Ferguson failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 45-17 win against the Cardinals.

The second-round rookie out of Oregon was on the field for a season-high 45 snaps on offense, nearly the same amount as Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen. Parkinson paced the trio with three catches for 32 yards a touchdown, while Allen had a modest two catches for 21 yards. Ferguson only earned a single target from Matthew Stafford in the blowout, however, which he failed to bring in. This is the third game in a row that Ferguson has failed to secure a target, and the fourth straight in which the rookie has gone without a catch. Ferguson will try to get back on track against a depleted Lions defense in Week 15.

Richardson (orbital) will not be activated from injured reserve this week, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

The Colts find themselves in need of options at the quarterback spot with Daniel Jones (Achilles) out for the season and Riley Leonard (knee) also banged up, but Richardson will not be one of them immediately, as his recovery continues from the orbital fracture he sustained in mid-October. Brett Rypien -- who is on the practice squad -- is the only Colts quarterback without an injury concern heading into Week 15.

Leonard is dealing with a knee injury, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Leonard replaced an injured Daniel Jones (Achilles) in Sunday's contest and finished out the game, but it appears he picked up an injury of his own. The extent of the injury is not yet known. With Jones out for the season and Anthony Richardson (orbital) on injured reserve, practice-squad quarterback Brett Rypien is currently the only healthy Colts quarterback option.

Allen secured both of his targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 45-17 victory against the Cardinals.

Despite Allen, Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson all being on the field for nearly identical amounts of time, Parkinson has become the clear top target of the trio during Tyler Higbee's (ankle) absence. Parkinson's six-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter was his fourth touchdown in his last five games, while Allen has managed just eight catches for 62 yards and a touchdown in that same span. It's unlikely to see Allen's numbers significantly spike any time soon, even with a depleted Lions defense up next in Week 15.

Achane (ribs) could be held out of some practice sessions this week, according to C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald.

Achane underwent an MRI after sustaining a rib injury in Sunday's victory over the Jets. Although it was determined the running back is not dealing with a serious setback, head coach Mike McDaniel revealed that Achane "needs treatment," which could affect his practice participation this week. Miami will face Pittsburgh on Monday night in Week 15, so while that will afford Achane more rest, it will also likely delay the next official update on the running back's status until Thursday.
