Chubb (ribs), who is officially questionable for Sunday's game against Las Vegas, is likely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Chubb missed Houston's win over Arizona last Sunday, but his absence doesn't look as though it will extend beyond that one game. His likely ability to play against the Raiders could carry significantly more weight if Woody Marks (ankle) -- who is also listed as questionable -- is unable to suit up. If Marks doesn't play, Chubb could work as the Texans' lead back, though Jawhar Jordan may have earned a sizable role of his own after a 15-carry, 101-yard performance in his NFL debut last Sunday. Even if Marks manages to take the field, Chubb and Jordan could factor into the game plan more than usual given the former's ankle issue, as well as a potential blowout script versus the 2-12 Raiders.

Swift rushed the ball 13 times for 58 yards in Saturday's 22-16 overtime win over the Packers. He added two receptions on two targets for 12 yards.

Swift maintained a modest edge as the Bears' lead back, totaling 15 touches to 12 for Kyle Monangai. The former's longest gain from scrimmage went for only nine yards, though he still managed a relatively efficient performance in a tough matchup. The Bears were forced into an atypically pass-heavy offensive approach, which led to modest individual numbers in the rushing game and Swift's lowest yardage output since Week 12.

London (knee), who is officially questionable for Sunday's battle against Arizona, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Friday that he expects London to suit up Sunday, and that outlook doesn't appear to have changed. If London does play, it will mark his return from a four-game absence. He'd immediately slot back in as Atlanta's No. 1 wideout for QB Kirk Cousins, who was the team's backup quarterback the last time London took part in a game.

Jacobs (knee/ankle) rushed 12 times for 36 yards and brought in both targets for 12 yards in the Packers' 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears on Saturday night. He also lost a fumble.

Jacobs was active after not practicing all week, but the star running back didn't seem to be at full strength against a beatable Bears run defense. Jacobs' backfield mate Emanuel Wilson outpaced him by two carries and 56 rushing yards, and the former also had a very costly fumble at the Bears' three-yard line just past the halfway point of the third quarter. Jacobs didn't log another touch the rest of the game, but if healthy, he'll remain the top back in next Saturday night's Week 17 home matchup against the Ravens.

Williams completed 19 of 34 passes for 250 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Saturday's 22-16 overtime win over the Packers. He added three rushes for 30 yards.

This game followed a similar script to the first contest between the Packers and Bears, though Williams completed the improbable comeback this time around. He attempted only nine passes in a disjointed first half, but he led touchdown drives on consecutive possessions to end the game, which Williams concluded with passing scores of six and 46 yards. He was able to hit on big plays throughout the contest, as his five completions of at least 20 yards matched his season high and led to his highest yardage total as a passer since Week 9. Williams has also recorded multiple touchdowns through the air in four of his last five games after doing so only three times in his first 10 contests.

Willis replaced Jordan Love (concussion) with 7:59 remaining in the second quarter and completed nine of 11 passes for 121 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while adding 10 rushes for 44 yards in the Packers' 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears on Saturday night. He also committed a fumble in overtime.

Willis was effective for the majority of his time in the game after Love exited following a sack, eventually throwing a 33-yard touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs late in the third quarter to extend a narrow 6-3 lead. Willis also spearheaded a 10-play drive in the fourth quarter that culminated in a field goal, but after marching Green Bay down into Bears territory on the first drive of overtime, Willis failed to secure a fourth-down snap and negated the Packers' chances of keeping the possession going. The Bears took over and closed out the comeback win four plays later on a Caleb Williams touchdown pass to DJ Moore, closing out an otherwise effective performance by Willis on a sour note. If Love is unable to clear concussion protocol in time for next Saturday night's Week 17 home showdown against the Ravens, Willis will draw the start.

Harrison, who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 16 matchup against Atlanta due to a heel injury, is expected to suit up, though Arizona intends to "ease him back in," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Harrison sat out the Cardinals' past two contests because of the heel issue. He was a limited participant in all three of the team's practices this week, which should be enough for him to return to action Sunday. However, the second-year wideout has stated that the heel injury is going to linger for the remainder of the campaign, which may be why Arizona is seemingly planning to take a careful approach to his game activity. It's unclear exactly how that will impact his offensive snap share, but fantasy managers should at least be aware that Harrison may not log his usual allotment of snaps, which could also be a boon to the outlook of No. 2 wideout Michael Wilson, who has thrived this season when Harrison has been absent.

Doubs (wrist) is questionable to return to Saturday's Week 16 matchup against the Bears.

The injury appears to have occurred when Doubs attempted to field an onside kick late in the fourth quarter. He wasn't able to do so, and Chicago recovered the ball before subsequently scoring the game-tying touchdown. With Doubs at least temporarily sidelined, Jayden Reed should serve as the Packers' No. 2 wideout, and Dontayvion Wicks and/or Matthew Golden could take on a more prominent role on offense.

FitzPatrick has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's Week 16 contest against Chicago due to an Achilles injury.

FitzPatrick suffered what appeared to be a non-contact injury in the second half. Prior to his exit, he drew one passing target, which he didn't catch. Green Bay was already short on tight ends with Josh Whyle (concussion) unable to suit up Saturday. Luke Musgrave is the only healthy player left at the position for Green Bay for the remainder of the NFC North battle.

Croskey-Merritt rushed the ball eight times for 25 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 29-18 loss to the Eagles.

Croskey-Merritt saw all eight of his carries in the first half to lead the team, though he curiously disappeared in the final two quarters in favor of Chris Rodriguez. Croskey-Merritt wasn't particularly efficient with his opportunity overall, but he did record long gains of 13 and seven yards while also punching in a touchdown from one yard away. It's unclear why Croskey-Merritt was phased out of the offense, but he appears to still have a role, even after Rodriguez returned from a one-game absence.
