Higgins caught four of five targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 37-14 win over Arizona.

The 26-year-old wideout fell one yard shy of Ja'Marr Chase for the team lead, but his teammate bolstered his production with two TDs. Higgins has missed two of the last five games due to concussion issues, and on the season he's posted a 53-779-10 line on 89 targets through 14 contests. He needs one more touchdown to set a new career high, a mark he'll look to reach in Week 18 against the Browns.

James logged eight tackles (five solo) and an interception during the Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday.

James picked off a C.J. Stroud pass that was tipped near the line of scrimmage, which the Chargers offense converted into a 27-yard field goal from Cameron Dicker six plays later. It was James' third interception of the season, two of which have come over his last three games. The veteran safety is up to 94 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, and Week 18 against the Broncos presents James the opportunity to reach the tackling century mark for the fifth time in his eight-year NFL career.

Washington caught eight of 10 targets for 115 yards and rushed once for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.

Washington led the Jaguars in receiving yards on 10 targets for the second time in as many weeks. He has drawn double-digit targets four times this season and remains a key receiver for Trevor Lawrence, even with Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas both healthy. Washington will look to keep his late-season surge going in Week 18 against the Titans as the Jaguars try to clinch the AFC South.

Irving rushed nine times for 19 yards and brought in five of six targets for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Irving was surprisingly stonewalled on the ground by a typically vulnerable Dolphins defense, and although he made solid contributions from a PPR perspective with his five catches, they went for minimal yardage. Irving had rushed for at least 55 yards in each of his first four games back from a long absence due to shoulder and foot injuries, so Sunday's downturn was particularly drastic and ill-timed for fantasy managers rolling with him in their playoff contests. Irving will look to atone in a critical Week 18 home matchup against the Panthers that presents a chance for the Bucs to still win the division, with a Week 18 win coupled with a Falcons loss in one of the next two games.

Lawrence completed 23 of 37 passes for 263 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts. He also rushed eight times for 26 yards and two touchdowns.

Lawrence failed to throw a touchdown pass for the first time since Week 9 and had a streak of five consecutive games with multiple touchdown passes snapped, but he made key plays with his legs to extend Jacksonville's winning streak to seven games. He scored a four-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter and added a six-yard rushing score in the third to turn a 10-0 deficit into a 14-10 lead. In addition to producing his third multi-touchdown rushing performance of the season, Lawrence picked up a key fourth-and-1 with a three-yard run just after the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter as the Jaguars nursed a late one-possession lead. Jacksonville would clinch the AFC South with a Week 18 win over the Titans or a Houston loss/tie against the Colts.

Chase caught seven of nine targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Cardinals.

Both scores came in the first half, as Chase connected with Joe Burrow for a 13-yard TD in the first quarter and an eight-yard strike in the second. Chase snapped a seven-game touchdown drought with the performance, and on the season he's racked up a 117-1,316-7 line on 175 targets, tying his career high in target volume. Chase will look to reach 1,400 receiving yards for the third time in his career in Week 18 against the Browns.

Ewers completed 14 of 22 passes for 172 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and added four rushes for five yards in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Miami.

Ewers operated in what was mostly a game-manager role, but he flashed with a 63-yard touchdown pass to a wide open Theo Wease in the first quarter to answer an early Buccaneers touchdown before adding an 11-yard scoring strike to Greg Dulcich with just under two minutes remaining in the first half. The rookie signal-caller also managed to avoid turnovers altogether, and through his first two career starts, Ewers has completed 65.0 percent of his passes for 485 yards with a 2:2 TD:INT as the Week 18 road regular-season finale against the Patriots approaches.

Brown carried the ball 22 times for 101 yards and two touchdowns and caught all three of his targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Cardinals.

The third-year back put the game on ice with a pair of third-quarter scores, from six yards and one yard out. Brown has scored multiple TDs in three of the last four games while topping 100 scrimmage yards in five of the last seven, and he needs just 53 more rushing yards to reach 1,000 on the season for the first time. He'll look to reach that milestone in Week 18 against the Browns.

McMillan secured seven of nine targets for 114 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

McMillan stepped up in a critical game for the Buccaneers, co-leading the team in receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards and targets. The second-year wideout's yardage tally was also a new career high, and it came in only his third game following a very delayed season debut due to a serious neck injury. McMillan could play a key role again in a Week 18 home matchup against the Panthers that presents a chance for the Bucs to still win the division, with a Week 18 win coupled with a Falcons loss in one of the next two games.

Cook tallied eight tackles (four solo) and one pass defense during the Chiefs' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Thursday.

Cook played every single defensive snap and finished tied for the fourth-most tackles on the Chiefs during Thursday's loss. The fourth-year safety is up to 79 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, surpassing his previous career high of 78 tackles (in 17 regular-season games) in 2024. Cook will look to add to his total in the Chiefs' regular-season finale against the Raiders in Week 18.
