Worthy brought in three of four targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Texans.

Worthy finished as the Chiefs' leading receiver despite ranking third in targets behind TE Travis Kelce and WR Rashee Rice. The 22-year-old Worthy was the only starter to generate any kind of a downfield threat against Houston's stout defense. The versatile wideout did not record a rushing attempt for the third time over his last four appearances. He has, however, eclipsed 50 receiving yards in three consecutive contests, providing a solid floor for fantasy managers in deeper formats. Worthy's upside lies in his ability to rip off huge gains, and the same could be said for next Sunday's tilt against the Chargers.

McManus did not attempt a field goal and went 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears.

McManus went without a field-goal try for the first time this season, and he has now made one or zero field goals in three of the last four games. The kicker has had an inconsistent campaign, going 15-for-21 on field-goal attempts, including 2-for-4 from 50-plus yards, over 10 contests. That being said, he's a perfect 4-for-4 on field-goal tries since missing the team's Week 11 win over the Giants with a quadriceps injury.

Hunt rushed 12 times for 30 yards and a touchdown while failing to bring in his only target in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Texans.

Hunt struggled generating running room on his 12 carries Sunday, but he rewarded fantasy managers with the only touchdown from Kansas City's side in the primetime loss. Former starter Isiah Pacheco remained involved by gaining the same yardage on nine carries, but he couldn't match the starter's trip to the end zone. Hunt has been providing a high floor since taking over lead-back duties, a scenario that should hold true in Week 15 against the Chargers.

Folk made his only field-goal try and PAT in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Folk made a 31-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, securing at least one field-goal make for the 12th time this season. Although the Jets' offense isn't particularly strong, the kicker still ranks amongst the best at his position this season, going 23-for-24 on field-goal attempts, including 6-for-7 from 50-plus yards, over 13 games so far.

Smyth connected on 1-of-2 field goals and on 3-of-3 extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Bucs.

Smyth was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday to serve as New Orleans' placekicker for the second consecutive week. The rookie got the nod after the Saints cut Blake Grupe in late November, and he made his only kick, a 56-yard field goal, in his debut last Sunday against Miami. After his miss Sunday, though, the Saints' kicker role will again be worth monitoring in the week ahead.

Dulcich caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets.

Dulcich was able to reel in his most passes since Week 9, garnering two more targets than fellow tight end Darren Waller (one). Dulcich nearly had an even more substantial output, getting knocked out of bounds at the Jets' five-yard line on a 12-yard catch in the first quarter. The tight end will look to snag multiple passes for a fourth game in a row when the Dolphins travel to face Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football in Week 15.

Carlson went 1-of-1 on field-goal tries and 2-of-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.

The kicker hit a meaningless 46-yarder as time expired in the fourth quarter. Carlson was perfect for the second week in a row and the third time in four games, but he's just not getting a lot of opportunities in one of the league's worst offenses. The eighth-year pro has attempted just 18 extra points in 13 games this season.

Mahomes completed 14 of 33 pass attempts for 160 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions while gaining 59 rushing yards on seven attempts in Sunday's 20-10 loss to Houston.

Mahomes was shut down almost completely by the Texans' vaunted defense on Sunday Night Football, a scene we have not seen much over the course of the signal-caller's illustrious career. All credit goes to Houston's defense, but Kansas City's role players didn't offer much relief. The Chiefs' receivers suffered six drops in the primetime loss, with notable guffaws coming in critical moments from stars Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce. Mahomes may have to pull out one of his Superman games against the Chargers in order to keep his team's bleak playoff hopes alive in Week 15.

Musgrave caught two of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 28-21 win over Chicago.

Musgrave corralled multiple passes for the first time since Week 10, and his day was nearly much more impressive, as he narrowly failed to reel in a 34-yard throw from Jordan Love in the first quarter. The tight end has had an opportunity to carve out a larger role for himself on offense with Tucker Kraft (knee) done for the year, but Musgrave's production has remained underwhelming.

Collins recorded four receptions on eight targets for 121 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.

Collins was the only Texans pass catcher to make a significant impact in a defensive showdown. He was unsurprisingly C.J. Stroud's favorite target, and he did the majority of his damage on long catches of 53 and 46 yards in the first half. After an inconsistent start to the season, Collins now has at least 75 receiving yards in five of his last six games and has topped 100 yards in three contests on the campaign.
