Thielen caught all four of his targets for 49 yards in the Steelers' 29-24 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Thielen's targets, catches and yards were all new season-highs for the 35-year-old wideout. After producing just two catches for 11 yards on two targets in his first two games with the Steelers, Thielen finished second on the team in receiving against Detroit. He's emerging as a clear top-three wide receiver in Pittsburgh, but it's unlikely to translate to useful fantasy numbers outside of deeper formats ahead of next Sunday's game against the Browns.

Woods (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday night's matchup with the Ravens.

The cornerback did not record a stat before exiting. Woods has played more on special teams than defense this year.

Pitts corralled seven of nine targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.

The Falcons welcomed back No. 1 wideout Drake London (knee) from a four-game absence, but Pitts maintained his elevated role in Atlanta's passing game with Kirk Cousins under center. The 24-year-old Pitts was averaging 8.8 targets in the four games London missed, and the former's nine targets finished behind only RB Bijan Robinson's 11 on Sunday. The 2021 first-round tight end is starting to play like one by averaging 98.8 yards with four total touchdowns over his last four starts. A red-hot Pitts will attempt to keep things rolling against the Rams next Monday.

Jackson (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Jackson was kneed in the back by a Patriots defender at the end of a run late in the second quarter. Prior to getting hurt, Jackson completed seven of 10 passing attempts for 101 yards and rushed twice for seven yards. Tyler Huntley has come into the game while Jackson is unavailable.

Sanders caught both of his targets for nine yards and one touchdown in Carolina's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Sanders' six-yard touchdown in the third quarter gave the Panthers a 20-17 lead. The tight end has produced fewer than 20 receiving yards in eight of his 12 appearances this season and offers little fantasy value headed into next Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Henderson (head) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Henderson was deemed questionable to return shortly after being taken to the locker room. The team has not given any indication that the running back suffered a concussion. Henderson rushed five times and caught his only target for nine yards prior to getting hurt. While Henderson is sidelined, Rhamondre Stevenson will lead New England's backfield.

Warren rushed the ball 14 times for 143 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Lions. He added two receptions on two targets for eight yards.

The backfield split in Pittsburgh remained consistent, with Warren taking the lead on the ground and Kenneth Gainwell working as the preferred pass catcher. Warren came alive in the second half, ripping off nearly identical 45-yard touchdown runs on back-to-back possessions in the fourth quarter while also chipping in an additional 21-yard gain. The end result was a career-high 143 yards on the ground and Warren's first time cracking the century mark since Week 7. It was a needed showing, as he had also been held below 40 rushing yards in three straight games entering Sunday's matchup.

London (knee) had three receptions on eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.

London returned from a four-game absence due to a knee injury and was held in check by Arizona's defense. The star wideout was averaging 6.7 receptions and 90.0 yards in nine active games prior to going down in Week 11, highlighting the stark drop-off in production in Sunday's return. The good news is that London appeared to get through the contest without suffering a setback, potentially setting up a true return to form in Week 17 against the Rams.

Henderson (undisclosed) went to the locker room in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Henderson is likely dealing with a head injury after hitting his head on the turf. He first went to the blue medical tent, per Lazar, probably to be evaluated for a concussion. The team will likely provide an update on Henderson's status shortly. Prior to the injury, Henderson rushed five times for three yards and caught his only target for nine yards.

Washington caught his lone target for 23 yards and rushed one time for a nine-yard touchdown in Miami's 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

After catching multiple passes in 13 of his first 14 games, Washington has now posted back-to-back one-catch games on a total of two targets. Washington, however, was able to salvage his box score with a nine-yard rushing score in the second quarter to give the Dolphins a 14-10 lead. Cincinnati would then go on to score 35 straight points to bury the Dolphins. Washington has minimal fantasy appeal headed into next Sunday's date with Tampa Bay.
