Sainristil posed six tackles (four solo) and one pass defense during the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Sainristil played a career-high 90 defensive snaps during the Commanders' Week 17 loss. The second-year corner is up to 79 tackles (48 solo), 11 pass defenses (four interceptions) and one forced fumble through 16 regular-season games. Sainristil and Washington will close out the 2025 regular season on the road against Philadelphia in Week 18.

Wilson secured one of two targets for eight yards during Miami's 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Wilson saw an opportunity to handle increased opportunities on offense versus Tampa Bay, as Jaylen Waddle was kept on the sideline between the middle of the second quarter and end of the third quarter due to a ribs injury. Across nine regular-season appearances, Wilson has now compiled five catches for 44 yards on seven targets. He stands to close out the year in his usual reserve role at wide receiver as the Dolphins prepare for a Week 18 regular-season finale at New England.

Carter carried the ball seven times for 29 yards and caught two of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Bengals.

The Cardinals were down 23-7 at halftime and didn't get closer, so game script wasn't in Carter's favor as a runner. He still caught multiple passes for the sixth time in seven games however, a stretch in which he's put together 214 yards on the ground with a 4.6 YPC while adding a 21-169-0 line on 30 targets. Arizona has nothing on the line but draft positioning in Week 18, but the Cardinals also don't have many other healthy RBs, so Carter could remain the starter in the team's season finale against the Rams.

Stevenson rushed eight times for 47 yards and a touchdown while catching all five of his targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Jets.

Stevenson scored on consecutive drives, running in a one-yard touchdown in the first quarter and catching a 22-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the second as the Patriots raced out to a 21-0 lead. He had eight carries compared to 19 for TreVeyon Henderson, who cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol prior to Sunday's win, but Henderson wasn't targeted in the passing game. Stevenson has churned out at least 77 scrimmage yards in four consecutive games, remaining productive despite ceding most of the rushing opportunities to Henderson in recent weeks. Both running backs will likely continue to play substantial roles in Week 18 against the Dolphins, as New England can earn the top seed in the AFC and a wild-card round bye with a win over Miami and a Denver loss to the Chargers.

Olave secured eight of 11 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 34-26 win over the Titans on Sunday.

The stretch-run chemistry between rookie signal-caller Tyler Shough and Olave continued in fine fashion Sunday, with the latter leading the Saints in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Olave went in for his ninth touchdown of the season on a 19-yard grab early in the third quarter, and he eclipsed the century mark through the air for the third time on the campaign. Olave has at least six receptions and 85 receiving yards in three straight games and has already locked in his first 100-catch season ahead of a Week 18 road matchup against the Falcons.

Hill brought in one of two targets for 16 yards during Miami's 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Hill was once again overshadowed at the tight end position by Greg Dulcich (5-58-1 on six targets), though Darren Waller failed to gain any yards on his only catch (six targets). Across 16 regular-season appearances, Hill has now tallied 14 catches for 132 yards on 19 targets. He'll continue to primarily contribute as a blocker during the Dolphins' regular-season finale against New England in Week 18.

Brissett completed 21 of 37 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Bengals.

The Cardinals defense had no success at all slowing down Joe Burrow, so Brissett's efforts -- which included a 38-yard TD to Michael Wilson in the second quarter and an 18-yard score to Trey McBride in the fourth -- didn't make much impact. The veteran has tossed multiple touchdowns in nine of his 11 starts this season, posting a 21:7 TD:INT over that stretch as he makes a case for a starting job in 2026, whether with Arizona or someone else. With an undrafted rookie in Kedon Slovis as his backup, Brissett could still be under center in Week 18 against the Rams, even with nothing on the line for the Cards but draft position.

Interim coach Mike McCoy said after Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Saints that Jefferson is done for the season due to the forearm injury he sustained in the contest, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Jefferson won't play in the Titans' season-finale against the Jaguars next weekend and could land on IR in order to free up a roster spot for the team. In his looming absence, Mason Kinsey and/or James Proche figure to handle added WR snaps behind Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike.

Diggs caught all six of his targets 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Jets.

Diggs did all his damage in the first half, working as the clear No. 1 option in a receiving corps depleted by the absences of Kayshon Boutte (concussion) and Mack Hollins (abdomen, IR). The 32-year-old Diggs has exceeded 100 receiving yards in consecutive games for the second time this season and has cracked the century mark five times as a member of the Patriots. He's 14 months removed from tearing the ACL in his right knee. New England needs a Week 18 win over the Dolphins and a Broncos loss to the Chargers for the Patriots to get the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a wild-card round bye.

Wease secured his only target for a 63-yard touchdown during Miami's 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Wease recorded Miami's longest play of the day, connecting deep down the left side of the field for rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers' first of two passing touchdowns near the end of the first quarter. The Dolphins signed Wease to the active roster from the practice squad in advance of Sunday's matchup, after having elevated him to make his regular-season debut versus Cincinnati in Week 16. The undrafted rookie out of Missouri will work to showcase his talents again in a difficult road matchup against the Patriots in Week 18.
