Brenton Strange TE | JAC
Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Comes through with 21-yard score
Strange recorded three receptions on four targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Titans.
Strange caught all three of his passes in the first half, with his most impactful reception coming on a 21-yard touchdown catch, splitting the Tennessee defense down the middle of the field. He chipped in a pair of 12-yard receptions to help set up a field goal as the first half concluded to cap off his day. Strange now has eight receptions on nine targets for 138 yards and a score in two games since returning from injured reserve.

Sam Darnold QB | SEA
Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Pedestrian numbers in easy win
Darnold completed 14 of 26 pass attempts for 128 yards with no touchdowns and one fumble lost in Sunday's 26-0 rout of the Vikings.
Darnold struggled against the strength of Minnesota's defense as Seattle leaned on its ground game and dominant defense to secure victory in Week 13. It was the 28-year-old's lowest passing total through 12 starts with Seattle and -- depending on how leagues penalize interceptions -- his worst fantasy score to date this season. Darnold has been a bit of a boom-or-bust asset in fantasy by providing managers with six multi-score games and three with zero touchdowns. Look for the signal-caller to get back on track next Sunday against an Atlanta squad heading in the wrong direction.

Nick Folk K | ATL
Jets' Nick Folk: Game-winning FG in Week 13
Folk made two of three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in the Jets' 27-24 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Folk entered Week 13 having made all 35 of his kicks this season, and his first miss came in the third quarter Sunday, as he was short on a 55-yard attempt in the third quarter. Folk was kicking in sloppy, rainy conditions but was able to redeem himself with a 56-yard, game-winner as time expired in the fourth quarter, as he barely snuck it inside the left upright just above the crossbar. On the season, Folk has converted 22 of 23 field-goal attempts and all 18 of his extra points.

Michael Carter RB | TEN
Cardinals' Michael Carter: Gets 10 touches in Week 13
Carter recorded five carries for 17 yards and gathered in five of six targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss at Tampa Bay.
Aside from a Week 9 win in Dallas, when he was active but didn't play, Carter has handled various workloads in eight games since his season debut Week 4. The personnel available to the Cardinals backfield due to a litany of injuries has resulted in as few as one touch (Week 4) to as many as 23 touches (Week 5), but he's settled into roughly seven touches per game (6.9, to be exact) in his last six appearances. On Sunday, Carter took a back seat to Bam Knight (14 touches for 98 total yards and one TD), with Trey Benson (knee) still on injured reserve and Emari Demercado inactive due to a high-ankle sprain. If Benson and/or Demercado are able to return next Sunday against the Rams, the aforementioned workload for Carter may dry up to almost nothing, but he should remain involved as long as that duo is sidelined.

Chase McLaughlin K | TB
Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Makes two FGAs in Week 13
McLaughlin made both of his field-goal attempts and extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Cardinals.
McLaughlin was able to get back on track after being held to just a PAT in the team's Week 12 loss to the Rams, making a 25-yard field goal in the second quarter and a 57-yarder in the fourth, which would prove to be the difference in the contest against Arizona. The kicker has seen his workload fluctuate greatly from week to week, notching four performances with one or zero field-goal attempts while also making multiple field goals in six different contests. On the year, McLaughlin has now gone 22-for-26 on field-goal tries, including a perfect 10-for-10 from 50-plus yards, over 12 games.

Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Big performance against Titans
Meyers recorded six receptions on six targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Titans. He added one rush for three yards.
Meyers continues to build rapport with Trevor Lawrence, and he was clearly the Jaguars' best receiver in Sunday's blowout win. He may have benefitted from the departure of Parker Washington (hip) with a few extra targets in the second half, though Meyers accounted for most of his production before Washington's absence. He caught a deep pass over the middle of the field late in the first quarter that went for 50 yards, and he capped off the same drive with a three-yard touchdown reception. Meyers also chipped in a 13-yard catch just before halftime to help set up a field goal, and he now has at least four receptions and 50 yards in each of his last three games while also finding the end zone in consecutive contests.

Jason Myers K | SEA
Seahawks' Jason Myers: Drills all six kicks in Week 13
Myers converted all four of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.
Myers' field-goal makes came from 33, 56, 54 and 40 yards. He did the bulk of the scoring for Seattle against Minnesota, accounting for 14 of the team's 26 points. Myers has been on a hot streak, making 15 of 16 field-goal attempts and all 16 of his extra points in November. On the season, Myers is 28-for-33 on field goals and a perfect 38-for-38 on point-after tries. He's a premier fantasy kicker in Seattle's offense.

Riley Patterson K | MIA
Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Converts four FGAs in win
Patterson went 4-for-4 on field-goal tries and made his only PAT in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Saints.
Patterson was the main producer of Miami's offense in Week 13, making field goals from 39, 25 and 48 yards in the second quarter before later adding a 33-yarder in the fourth. The kicker has now made multiple field-goal tries in seven of the last eight contests, going 16-for-18 over that stretch.

Justin Jefferson WR | MIN
Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Career-low yardage Sunday
Jefferson was held to two receptions on four targets for four yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to Seattle.
The Vikings were forced to turn to undrafted rookie Max Brosmer with starter J.J. McCarthy (concussion) unavailable and backup Carson Wentz (shoulder) on injured reserve. The end result was even worse than expected with the third-stringer under center after Jefferson finished the shutout loss with a career-low four receiving yards. The horrid quarterback situation in Minnesota has damaged its star wideout's fantasy value in addition to its playoff hopes. The remaining hope for Jefferson's fantasy managers is that McCarthy can clear the league's concussion protocol by next Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, as he at least possesses the arm strength to take shots down the field towards his superstar receiver.

David Njoku TE | LAC
Browns' David Njoku: Two catches in Week 13 loss
Njoku caught both of his targets for four yards in the Browns' 26-8 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Njoku has taken a clear back seat to rookie TE Harold Fannin in recent weeks, and Fannin actually paced the Browns in targets (five), catches (three) and yards (43) against San Francisco while securing a 34-yard touchdown from Shedeur Sanders. Njoku isn't much more than waiver-wire fodder outside of deep fantasy leagues.
