With Lamar Jackson (back) inactive, Huntley is slated to start Saturday night's game against the Packers, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Huntley will be making his second start of the season, with Cooper Rush in line to back him up Saturday. While filling in for Jackson in Week 8, Huntley completed 17 of 22 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown and added 53 yards on eight carries in a 30-16 win over the Bears. This time around, in a game the Ravens need to win in order to keep their playoff hopes alive, the veteran signal-caller offers an alternative for those who would normally rely on Jackson in their fantasy lineups, are in Superflex formats or are otherwise in need of QB help in Week 17.

The Dolphins activated Meyer (triceps) from injured reserve Saturday.

Meyer has been confined to injured reserve since late August, and the center will have his first NFL opportunity to suit up in Week 17. The 25-year-old will be a reserve lineman behind centers Aaron Brewer and Daniel Brunskill.

Watson (shoulder/illness) is active for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

After kicking off Week 17 prep with back-to-back full listings as he continues to deal with a lingering shoulder injury, Watson didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, leaving him questionable ahead of the weekend. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Saturday afternoon that Watson was expected to play, which now has been confirmed. Watson will be working within the confines of a Packers offense directed by Malik Willis (right shoulder/illness) instead of Jordan Love (left shoulder/concussion), the latter of whom was ruled out Friday, so coach Matt LaFleur may prioritize the ground game based on Willis' more mobile skill set. When Willis started in Weeks 2 and 3 of the 2024 season in place of Love, Watson hauled in both of his targets for 67 yards.

Willis (right shoulder/illness) is listed as active Saturday against the Ravens and will start in place of Jordan Love (left shoulder/concussion), Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

After he sustained a concussion last Saturday at Chicago, Love wasn't able to clear the protocol for head injuries in time to suit up in Week 17, as the Packers ruled him out Friday. Willis remained listed as questionable due to the right shoulder injury he suffered late in the Week 16 loss to the Bears and also the illness that kept him out of Wednesday's practice, but he was the favorite to start Saturday, assuming he was active. Now that that has been confirmed, Willis will direct an offense headlined by RBs Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson, WRs Christian Watson (shoulder/illness), Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden and Dontayvion Wicks and TE Luke Musgrave. Green Bay also elevated QB Clayton Tune from the practice squad to serve as Willis' backup.

The Raiders elevated Dorsett from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Dorsett has not played in a game yet this season, with Sunday being his first elevation of the 2025 campaign. The veteran wide receiver is still behind Tre Tucker, Jack Bech (back), Tyler Lockett, Alex Bachman, Dont'e Thornton, and Shedrick Jackson on the depth chart, so any potential playing opportunities will likely be on the special-teams unit.

Jackson (back) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Packers.

After being deemed a non-participant in practice Tuesday through Thursday, Jackson was listed as doubtful for the contest. Now that Jackson has been made inactive, Tyler Huntley will draw the start in a game that the 7-8 Ravens need to win in order to keep their playoff hopes alive. Jackson's next chance to see game action will arrive in a Week 18 matchup against the Steelers that could decide the AFC North title, pending this weekend's results.

The Raiders elevated Collier from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Collier has a chance to make his 2025 debut in Sunday's game, but he will likely just be a special-teams piece if he does play. With Ashton Jeanty, Dylan Laube, and Zamir White all healthy, as well as Raheem Mostert (ankle) being questionable, it does not appear there will be many, if any, offensive opportunities for Collier in Sunday's contest.

Ingram (knee) has returned to Saturday's game against the Chargers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

After exiting the game before the half with an apparent knee issue, Ingram has been cleared to return to action. The offensive guard has slotted back in at right guard, replacing Jarrett Patterson.

The Giants signed Sauls to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Sauls made his NFL debut last Sunday against the Vikings, converting both of his field-goal attempts and his sole extra-point try in the loss. The kicker will make his second start Sunday against the Raiders, this time as a part of the 53-man roster.

The Giants elevated Miller from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

This is Miller's first elevation of the season and may be the first opportunity for the 26-year-old to play this season. With Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary, and Eric Gray all healthy and active, Miller's best hope to get on the field Sunday will be as a special-teams addition.
