Pickett completed 15 of 25 passes for 64 yards with no touchdowns and an interception in the Raiders' 31-0 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. He also rushed twice for seven yards.

Pickett averaged a microscopic 2.6 yards per attempt, a figure that naturally didn't come close to helping the Raiders keep pace with Jalen Hurts and his teammates. Pickett also took four sacks and showed a fair share of rust in his first start of the season. Pickett could get a second consecutive starting nod in a difficult Week 16 road matchup against the Texans next Sunday if Geno Smith (shoulder) remains sidelined.

Watson (chest) won't return to Sunday's game in Denver.

Watson remained down for several minutes while attempting to haul in a deep shot from QB Jordan Love early in the fourth quarter that Broncos CB Patrick Surtain ended up corralling for an interception. A chest injury will keep Watson on the sideline for the rest of Week 15, meaning his next chance to suit up is next Saturday at Chicago. In Watson's stead, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton are the healthy and available wide receivers for the Packers on Sunday.

Little made both of his field-goal attempts and went 6-for-6 on extra-point tries during the Jaguars' 48-20 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Little saw the field mostly on point-after tries and kickoffs as the Jaguars offense put on a dominant showing Sunday, but he did connect on short field goals from 33 and 22 yards in the second and third quarter, respectively. It's the eighth time this season that Little has connected on two or more field goals, five of which have come in the seven games since the Jaguars' Week 8 bye. Since the bye, the second-year kicker has made all 13 of his field-goal attempts and each of his 25 point-after tries.

Collins caught three of four targets for 85 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona.

The Texans' top wideout turned C.J. Stroud's first pass of the day into a 57-yard touchdown, setting the tone for the rout, and Collins then scored Houston's last TD with a four-yard grab in the fourth quarter. It was his first multi-score performance of the season, but he's been locked in since missing a Week 8 clash with the Niners due to a concussion. Over the last seven games, Collins has racked up a 38-662-3 line on 61 targets while also adding a score on the ground. Collins will look to keep rolling in Week 16 against the Raiders.

Folk made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his point-after tries during the Jets' 48-20 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Folk made easy work of a 41-yarder late in the second quarter before sneaking in a 51-yard field goal early in the third frame. It's the 10th time this season that the veteran kicker has made at least two field goals in a game. Folk is now 25-for-26 on field-goal attempts and 21-for-21 on extra-point tries through 14 regular-season games.

Ruiz (ankle) is questionable to return to New Orleans' matchup versus the Panthers on Sunday.

Ruiz sustained the injury in the second half, making his status for the remainder of the game uncertain. Dillon Radunz should fill in at right guard if Ruiz ends up being unable to return to Sunday's matchup.

Diggs caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills.

Diggs set season highs with 10 catches for 146 yards in his Week 5 return to Buffalo, but he couldn't muster much in the rematch 10 weeks later. He has faded down the stretch with 26 or fewer receiving yards in each of the past three games. The Patriots have relied primarily on the running game with the weather getting colder, and that game plan may not change in Week 16 at Baltimore.

Vele sustained a shoulder injury during Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

Prior to his exit early in the fourth quarter, Vele had recorded five catches (on six targets) for 69 yards. In Vele's absence, the Saints are left with Mason Tipton, Dante Pettis and Kevin Austin at wide receiver behind top option Chris Olave.

Stevenson rushed six times for 50 yards and caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills.

Stevenson played second fiddle to TreVeyon Henderson, who turned 14 carries and three targets into 161 scrimmage yards, including touchdown runs of 52 and 65 yards. Henderson has emerged as the clear No. 1 option in New England's backfield down the stretch, and this was only the third time that Stevenson reached the 50-yard threshold on the ground in 11 appearances this season. Stevenson will likely continue to cede most of the touches to Henderson in Week 16 against the Ravens.

Shakir secured all five targets for 65 yards in the Bills' 35-31 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Shakir led the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets on an afternoon when Josh Allen threw for just 193 yards. The fourth-year pro eclipsed 50 receiving yards for only the second time in the last five games, as Buffalo's air attack continues to spread the ball around heavily to multiple pass catchers each week. Shakir will next set his sights on the Browns' injury-hampered secondary in a Week 16 road matchup next Sunday afternoon.
