WR Tetairoa McMillan went 6-73-1 on 10 targets against the Buccaneers. Jalen Coker was the next highest WR with 5 targets. McMillan matched up against CB Jamel Dean often who had been stout against outside WRs, but McMillan was able to win multiple times one-on-one. As the Panthers march toward the NFC South crown, McMillan has proved himself to be an elite option who can be relied upon for the fantasy championship (and next season).

With QB Patrick Mahomes out for the season after tearing his ACL and WR Rashee Rice missing this week with a concussion, the Chiefs offense struggled against a poor Titans’ defense. QB Gardner Minshew left the game with a knee injury in the second quarter forcing the team to turn to QB Chris Oladokun. The team only scored 6 points* for the remainder of the game.

The Steelers backfield has been a question mark all season with RB Jaylen Warren starting and having the primary rushing role but Kenneth Gainwell’s pass catching and blocking getting him plenty of work. Both paid off for fantasy managers this week. Warren went 14-143-2 on the ground and 2-8-0 through the air on 2 targets. Gainwell went 9-50-0 on the ground and 5-78-1 through the air on 7 targets. Gainwell’s TD came on an incredible catch at the end of the first half.

Broncos WR Troy Franklin tallied a fairly unimpactful 4-66 receiving line in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. The numbers get even less impressive when you consider that Bo Nix attempted 47 passes in a game his team trailed from the middle of the third quarter on.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence threw for 279 yards and 3 TDs in Sunday's win over the Broncos. He added 20 yards on the ground, including a 1-yard TD plunge.

Cowboys WR George Pickens racked up 7 catches for 130 yards and a TD in Sunday's win over the Chargers. He led the team in receptions, yardage, and targets (nine). That game followed two straight weeks of 37 receiving yards or less and came against a well-performing Chargers' pass D.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones logged a season-high 21 carries in Minnesota's 16-13 Week 16 win over the Giants. Jones, who briefly exited the game in the first quarter with a minor ankle injury, also had his highest rushing total (85) and snap count (39) of the 2025 season. No. 2 RB Jordan Mason, who had a 47% snap share and 51% rush share heading into Week 16, was carted off the field in the second quarter with an ankle injury and quickly ruled out. With Mason absent, Jones' expanded workload resulted in him surpassing double-digit fantasy points for the first time since Week 11.

Cowboys RB Javonte Williams finished Sunday's loss to the Chargers with just 34 rushing yards on nine carries. He added 9 yards on 2 receptions. Williams opened the game with a solid 7-33 first-half rushing line (4.7 yards per carry) but garnered just two more attempts after the break. Malik Davis finished the game with eight carries to Williams' nine after trailing him 7-3 at halftime. Neither guy registered a run longer than 8 yards against a soft Chargers run D (21st in rush DVOA).

The Chargers' passing game came back to life for Sunday's win at Dallas, producing 300 yards for just the third time all season and first since Week 7. TE Oronde Gadsden, however, managed just 1 reception on one target for the game. That marked the third time in the past four games that Gadsden finished with just 1 catch.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert delivered a big game against Dallas' generous defense on Sunday. Herbert went 23-of-29 passing for 300 yards and 2 TDs. He added 42 yards on eight carries. That included a 1-yard TD plunge late in the second quarter and a 34-yard scramble early in the fourth. Herbert found WR Quentin Johnston from 23 yards out in the first quarter and WR Ladd McConkey from 25 in the second for his TD tosses.

Commanders WR Treylon Burks made just 2 catches for 30 yards in Saturday's loss to the Eagles, but it was still an encouraging outing for a guy who's had a rough career to date. Burks led Washington with five targets and ran just two fewer routes (22) than Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel.

Broncos WR Pat Bryant was taken to a hospital after taking a huge hit with under a minute left in Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. Bryant has movement in his arms and legs, according to insider Zac Stevens, and is being evaluated for a concussion. It'll be good news if Bryant escapes this one with "only" a concussion. We'll keep you updated on the rookie's status.

Very little went right for the Giants in Week 16, but RB Tyrone Tracy continued to lead New York's backfield in playing time and production. Tracy out-touched Devin Singletary 18-12 and accounted for 55.3% of the Giants' total yards in the team's 16-13 loss to the Vikings. Tracy also commanded a 35-21 lead over Singletary in snaps.

Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. returned from a one-game injury to easily lead his backfield in playing time, opportunities, and production in Saturday's loss to the Eagles. Rodriguez played 28 of 54 snaps, vs. 15 for Jeremy McNichols and 11 for Jacory Croskey-Merritt. He logged 63 yards and a TD on 15 carries, nearly doubling his nearest teammate in carries and accounting for 70% of the team's rushing yardage. Croskey-Merritt carried eight times for 25 yards and a TD. McNichols rushed only once for 3 yards.

Packers QB Malik Willis suffered a shoulder injury in Saturday night's loss to the Bears and is "pretty sore," HC Matt LaFleur said Sunday. It's unclear if this is Willis' throwing shoulder, but he was able to play through it in Chicago. QB Jordan Love, of course, is in concussion protocol, leaving him iffy for Saturday's game against the Ravens. We'll keep you updated on Green Bay's QB room throughout the week.

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy's right hand is not broken, according to The Minnesota Star Tribune's Ben Goessling. McCarthy is set for further testing on the hand tomorrow, per Goessling. We should learn more over the next 24 hours, but we'd still consider McCarthy very uncertain for Thursday's game vs. the Lions considering it's his throwing hand. McCarthy's absence would put QB Max Brosmer back under center for Minnesota.

The Chiefs believe QB Gardner Minshew tore his left ACL in the loss to the Titans, according to Chiefs Digest's Matt Derrick. Minshew is scheduled for an MRI to confirm, but he likely becomes the second straight Chiefs QB to suffer a season-ending knee injury. Kansas City will be down to QB Chris Oladokun the rest of the way. The 28-year-old, 2022 seventh-round pick had not thrown a regular-season pass before going 11-of-16 for 111 yards vs. the Titans today. Other than maybe WR Rashee Rice and TE Travis Kelce, the Chiefs' passing game will be hands-off against the Broncos in Week 17.

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins suffered a dislocated ankle and a fractured fibula in Sunday’s loss to Buffalo, per HC Kevin Stefanski. Meanwhile, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said after the game that the team is also evaluating the rookie for a knee injury. We'll keep an eye on his recovery timeline, but Judkins is sure to miss at least a chunk of the offseason program. In his place, Cleveland may ride Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams. On Sunday, Sanders held the edge in carries (11-3) with Williams leading the backfield in targets (4-1). Note: Jerome Ford is on injured reserve, while rookie Dylan Sampson missed today's game with a hand injury.

Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair is inactive for today's game against the Raiders, with ankle and knee injuries. That should position Henry To'oTo'o as Houston's lead LB, with E.J. Speed likely running No. 2. CB Derek Stingley Jr. is active after entering the day questionable with an oblique injury.

Cardinals LB Cody Simon is active for today's game against the Falcons. He remained limited in practice all week, listed with knee and ankle issues. But Simon's likely the best bet to lead Arizona LBs in playing time. His return knocks Akeem Davis-Gaither's playing time projection and moves him down our Week 16 LB rankings. Simon has posted modest fantasy numbers across five games of full-time duty.
