McLaughlin carried the ball six times for 19 yards and one touchdown during Denver's win over Kansas City on Sunday. He also secured his only target for minus-5 yards.

McLaughlin had been a healthy scratch for nine of the Broncos' first 10 games, but he rejoined the team's backfield with J.K. Dobbins (foot) on IR and made the most of his opportunities. Rookie second-round pick RJ Harvey was more productive overall due to his involvement in the receiving game, but neither back found many holes versus Kansas City's standout defense. McLaughlin will reprise his No. 2 role versus the Commanders in Week 12, though he's unlikely to supply consistent fantasy value.

Warren (ankle) said after Sunday's 34-12 win over the Bengals that he could have retaken the field after suffering an injury in the third quarter, but that remaining on the sideline "was part of being smart," Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.

Coach Mike Tomlin refrained from offering a tangible update on Warren's health following Sunday's divisional win, but it appears the starting running back has avoided a serious injury. The success logged by Kenneth Gainwell (105 scrimmage yards and two receiving scores on 16 touches) may have informed Pittsburgh's decision to take a cautious approach with Warren, who himself gained 62 rushing yards on 10 carries and secured both of his targets for five yards. If Warren ends up missing any time or even being limited on the road against Chicago in Week 12, Gainwell will likely be the biggest beneficiary again, as rookie third-round pick Kaleb Johnson played only eight snaps in Week 11 even with Warren on the sidelines.

Westbrook-Ikhine was not targeted during Miami's 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.

Westbrook-Ikhine played just 27 percent of offensive snaps versus Washington, his lowest total since Week 3. While Westbrook-Ikhine hasn't offered any notable fantasy value all season as he hasn't yet scored or surpassed 25 receiving yards in a game, this decline in usage effectively puts him off the radar even in the deepest of formats. After the Dolphins emerge from a Week 12 bye to face the Saints in Week 13, expect Malik Washington to remain solidified as the team's clear No. 2 wideout behind Jaylen Waddle.

The Packers believe Jacobs (knee) is not facing a major injury, though he will undergo further medical evaluation Monday to determine the severity of the issue, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jacobs doesn't appear set to spend a significant amount of time on the sidelines, but full clarity on his health won't arrive until after Monday's testing. If his injury proves to be more serious than anticipated, Emanuel Wilson would stand to inherit the lead role in Green Bay's rushing attack, with Chris Brooks likely stepping into an expanded change-of-pace gig. Wilson rushed 11 times for 40 yards and a score during the team's win over the Giants in Week 11, while also securing his only target for nine yards and reeling in a two-point conversion pass. Wilson will likely be a high priority waiver pickup this week as the Packers prepare to host the division-rival Vikings on Sunday.

Rodgers (wrist) will undergo further medical evaluation Monday and has been described by NFL sources as "50-50" to face the Bears in Week 12, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Rodgers suffered an injury to his left, non-throwing wrist and was forced out early during Pittsburgh's win over the Bengals in Week 11, which Adam Schefter of ESPN reports may be a minor fracture. Whether or not the veteran quarterback is at risk of exacerbating the injury, and whether he can properly grip a football, will be the major deciding factors in his availability. Mason Rudolph replaced Rodgers to start the third quarter Sunday, completing 12 of 16 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for minus-1 yard. If Rodgers isn't able to suit up on the road against Chicago, Rudolph will presumably draw the start while rookie sixth-round pick Will Howard, who recently came off IR, handles the No. 2 role.

Noel hauled in his lone target for 12 yards while adding 89 total return yards on five punts and two kickoffs in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Titans in Week 11.

Noel's production has been a roller coaster since Houston's Week 5 bye. In three of the last five contests, the rookie third-round pick has a combined 13 catches on 17 targets for 175 yards. In the two other games, Noel has one catch on one target for 12 yards. Noel's greatest contribution has been as a returner; he leads the team with a combined 457 returns yards (eight kickoffs, 23 punts).

Kirk secured one of four targets for six yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over Tennessee in Week 11.

Since returning in Week 9 from a second hamstring injury this season, Kirk has caught just six of 15 targets for a quiet 35 yards. He was expected to be the No. 2 wideout behind Nico Collins, but rookie Jayden Higgins (seven targets, four catches, 55 yards) out-produced Kirk for a second straight week. Over six games in 2025, Kirk has 16 catches on 31 targets for 144 yards and zero touchdowns.

Stover played 14 snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Titans in Week 11.

He was activated off injured reserve and played for the first time since Week 1. Injuries in the tight end room led to Stover opening the season as the clear backup to starter Dalton Schultz, but a broken foot shut him down until Sunday. With Harrison Bryant (neck/shoulder) landing on IR last week, Stover should resume his role as the top backup.

Schwesinger recorded a team-high 11 tackles, one pass defensed and an interception in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens in Week 11.

Schwesinger led the Browns in tackles for a second consecutive game and came up big with a pick after Cleveland had turned the ball over deep in its own territory. The rookie linebacker, who popped up on the injury report each of the last two weeks, played every snap on the defense for a second straight game. He leads the team with 85 tackles and is tied for the team lead with two interceptions.

Bush logged four tackles and returned an interception 23 yards for a touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 loss to Baltimore in Week 11.

Buch was in position to grab a ball tipped in the air by the Ravens' Keaton Mitchell and navigated through traffic and multiple would-be tacklers to score his first touchdown since 2019. The interception was also his first since 2019. Along with the pick-six, Bush has amassed 66 tackles (1.0 sacks), five passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 10 games.
