Godwin brought in five of eight targets for 55 yards in the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Godwin led the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on an afternoon when Baker Mayfield threw for just 122 yards. The highlight of the veteran wideout's day came on a 32-yard reception in the first half, and Godwin now has an 8-133-0 line on 13 targets over the last two games after a quiet Week 12 return from a long absence against the Rams. Godwin will next face off with the Falcons' talented secondary in a Week 15 home matchup on Thursday night.

Shough completed 13 of 20 passes for 144 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding seven rushes for 55 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints' 24-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Shough took three sacks and generated the third sub-200-yard tally through the air of his six-game starting tenure, but the rookie signal-caller shined with his work on the ground. Shough recorded the first two rushing scores of his career on 34- and 13-yard runs, the latter play coming with 8:26 remaining in the game and snapping a 17-17 tie. Shough also established a new career high in rushing yardage in the upset victory, and his penchant for keeping the Saints competitive most weeks affords him a reasonably optimistic outlook for a Week 15 home divisional clash against the Panthers.

Mayfield completed 14 of 30 passes for 122 yards with a touchdown and an interception while adding six rushes for 42 yards in the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Mayfield's final line underscores the type of afternoon it was for the normally efficient veteran signal-caller, who surprisingly struggled to a 44.9 QBR in a game for which the Buccaneers were heavily favored. Mayfield connected with Bucky Irving for a 24-yard touchdown pass just before the midway point of the first quarter, but his one interception on a deep pass to Kameron Johnson early in the third quarter led to a Saints touchdown. Mayfield could get Mike Evans (IR, collarbone) back for a Week 15 home matchup against the Falcons on Thursday night to help the quarterback bounce back from his lowest passing yardage total in a non-injury-shortened game this season.

Neal rushed 19 times for 70 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Saints' 24-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Neal drew another start in place of Alvin Kamara (knee) and surprisingly found some running room against a normally stingy Buccaneers front. The rookie sixth-round pick set a new career high in rushing yardage and added a three-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter for his first career score. With the 3-10 Saints firmly in evaluation mode as head coach Kellen Moore's first season at the helm winds down, Neal could continue to see expanded opportunity irrespective of Kamara's availability down the stretch.

Henry rushed the ball 25 times for 94 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Steelers. He recorded one catch on two targets for eight yards.

Despite playing from a deficit for most of the game, the Ravens made a point of getting Henry involved in the offense, as his 25 carries were his highest mark of the season. He's had considerable success against the Steelers in the past, totaling 348 yards on the ground over his last two matchups, though the Pittsburgh defense got the better end of things Sunday by limiting him to only 3.8 yards per carry. Henry still managed a few chunk gains of 19 and nine yards, topping 100 yards from scrimmage for the third time in his last four games in the process.

Olave brought in three of five targets for 30 yards in the Saints' 24-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Olave played through a back issue for the second straight week and put together a modest performance by his lofty standards, although Devaughn Vele was the Saints' leader in receiving yards with just 10 more than Olave. The fourth-year wideout's yardage tally was his second lowest of the season, but Olave managed to keep his season-long streak of no less than three catches in any game alive. Olave next takes aim at the Panthers secondary in a Week 15 home clash next Sunday.

Thomas (calf) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup versus Denver.

Thomas is done for the day after exiting the game in the second half. With Michael Mayer out with an ankle injury, Brock Bowers and Carter Runyon are now the only healthy tight ends available for the Raiders.

Smith exited Sunday's game against the Broncos after sustaining a right hand injury.

With Smith headed to the locker room, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Kenny Pickett is in at QB for the Raiders. Aidan O'Connell was designated the team's emergency No 3 QB on Sunday. Prior to his departure, Smith completed 13 of his 21 pass attempts for 116 yards and a TD and carried once for four yards.

Knox caught six of seven targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals.

On a cold, snowy day in Buffalo, Josh Allen leaned heavily on his tight ends to move the ball. Knox led the Bills in catches, targets and receiving yards, while Dalton Kincaid -- returning from a three-game absence due to lower-body injuries -- and Jackson Hawes each caught a touchdown. Knox's six grabs and 93 yards were both season highs and his best performance in three years, coming in just short of a 6-98-1 line in Week 15 of the 2022 season against the Dolphins. With Kincaid back in action, though, Knox is likely to see his role as a receiver shrink in Week 15 of the current campaign against the Patriots.

Welch (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Bears.

Welch took a blow to the head in the divisional battle and he'll now enter concussion protocol ahead of Week 15. In the meantime, his absence doesn't carry any impact on the Packers' defense versus Chicago.
