Link to storyArizona Cardinals RB Michael Carter rushed for 29 yards on seven carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17. He also caught two passes for 14 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Carter fizzled in a good matchup as the Cardinals failed to get a first down on five of their first seven drives. The Cardinals backfield was a disaster this season because of season-ending injuries to James Conner and Trey Benson before the leaves started changing colors. |

New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell registered three receptions for 22 yards on a game-high nine targets in Week 17 against the New England Patriots.
Link to storyNew York Jets WR Isaiah Williams had four receptions for 30 yards on five targets in Week 17 against the New England Patriots, and he added a 5-yard run on his only attempt.

New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis rushed three times for 11 yards in Week 16 against the New England Patriots, and he added a 9-yard reception on his lone target.
| Footballguys view: Davis exited the contest after suffering a blow to the head, and the Jets subsequently ruled him out due to a concussion. With Davis now in concussion protocol, his season may have come to an end with just one game remaining. |
New York Jets RB/KR Kene Nwangwu rushed six times for 31 yards in Week 17 against the New England Patriots, while also adding four kick returns for 114 yards.

New York Jets QB Brady Cook completed 19-of-33 passes for 152 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 17 against the New England Patriots, while running twice for one yard.
Link to storyNew York Jets RB Breece Hall rushed 14 times for 111 yards and a touchdown in the Week 17 game against the New England Patriots, while adding two receptions for 18 yards on three targets before leaving the game late due to a knee injury.
| Footballguys view: We'll follow up on the injury as details come to light, but Hall is just as good as the fantasy community thought he was when the debate at the top of the running back position was Hall vs. Christian McCaffrey. He'll go to free agency next season with the possibility of a Saquon Barkley-esque leap in fantasy value if he lands in a good offense that is committed to featuring him. |
New York Jets OG John Simpson (knee) suffered a knee injury in the Week 17 game against the New England Patriots.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett went 21-for-37 for 212 yards and two touchdowns against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17.
| Footballguys view: Brissett and the Cardinals offense was almost completely lifeless until garbage time. He had five three and outs, another drive that amounted to one yard, and a long touchdown when the Bengals decided to not tackle Michael Wilson before the Bengals defense went into prevent mode and Brissett bailed out fantasy teams that were relying on him. There's a chance that he is the Week 1 starting quarterback for the Cardinals, and potentially with a new head coach. |

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 19-of-21 passes for 256 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 17 against the New York Jets, as QB Joshua Dobbs mopped up. He also ran for 22 yards on three carries. Maye is the first Patriots QB to have five touchdown passes in a game since QB Tom Brady in 2017.
| Footballguys view: Maye is the first quarterback in NFL history to complete 90+% of his passes in a game while throwing for over 250 yards and five touchdowns. This is a statement about where Maye is in his career as much as it is a statement about where the Jets defense is right now. Maye has graduated to elite fantasy quarterback status. He'll be going all out along with the rest of the Patriots offense against Miami with the #1 seed on the line if the Chargers (who are only playing for wild card seeding) can beat the Broncos. |

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) aggravated his groin injury in the first half of the Week 17 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he will not return. He had two receptions for 30 yards and a TD on two targets before departing.
| Footballguys view: Fannin at least gave fantasy teams a 28-yard touchdown on the play that ended his afternoon. He has been one of the biggest breakout players of the 2025 rookie class and Fannin might actually have a quarterback in Shedeur Sanders. Fannin should be one of the top 6-8 tight ends in fantasy drafts next season. He could end up being a rare tight end who is the #1 target in his team's passing game. |
Carolina Panthers CB Robert Rochell (concussion) left the Week 17 game against the Seattle Seahawks due to a concussion.

Carolina Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) left the Week 17 game against the Seattle Seahawks after an ankle injury suffered on the first offensive play of the game.
| Footballguys view: Per head coach Dave Canales, Sanders sustained a broken ankle. The second-year starter is set to undergo surgery tomorrow and will miss the remainder of the campaign. Sanders finishes his second season with 29 receptions for 190 yards and a touchdown. |

Tennessee Titans WR Van Jefferson (forearm) suffered a forearm injury during the Week 17 game and has been ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Interim coach Mike McCoy said after Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Saints that Jefferson is done for the season, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reported. Jefferson won't play in the Titans' season finale against the Jaguars next weekend. As CBSSports.com suggested, Mason Kinsey and James Proche move up in the rotation behind Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike. |

Link to storySteelers tight end Darnell Washington sustained a broken arm in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns, coach Mike Tomlin said. He added he doesn't know Washington's timeline to return.
| Footballguys view: Washington exited late in the first quarter as the Steelers' leading receiver at that point with 15 yards on two catches on two targets. His longest catch went for 11 yards on third-and-16. Washington's absence was especially significant for an offense that also played without its top two wide receivers in DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III (hamstring). Tight end Pat Freiermuth finished as the Steelers' leading receiver with 63 yards on three receptions in five targets. |

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) scored a touchdown in the first quarter of the Week 17 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he aggravated the injury on the play, and he left the game. He is questionable to return.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (rib) suffered a rib injury during the Week 17 game and is considered questionable to return.
| Footballguys view: Waddle hadn't missed a game yet this season. This is a bad break for fantasy teams that relied on Waddle in Week 17 against a Bucs defense that has been fading. Quinn Ewers was productive against Tampa and Waddle would have likely been a good play today if he hadn't left the game in the first half. He returned late in the third quarter but finished the game with no catches and a seven-yard carry. |

Cincinnati Bengals OT Amarius Mims (shin) left the Week 17 game against the Arizona Cardinals in the first half due to a right shin injury. He is listed as questionable to return.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed (head) left the Week 17 game early and is being evaluated for a concussion.
| Footballguys view: Shaheed did not return to the game. He has made some impact plays for the Seahawks since he was acquired in a mid-season trade, but questions linger about Sam Darnold and the passing game's ability to carry this team in the postseason. |
New Orleans Saints TE Jack Stoll (knee) suffered a knee injury during the Week 17 game and has been ruled out.

Link to storyTennessee Titans CB Jalyn Armour-Davis (undisclosed) was carted off the field after suffering an undisclosed injury during the Week 17 game.
Link to storySeveral NFL teams are likely to pursue a trade for Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow during the offseason, according to multiple sources. Burrow voiced frustration with losing earlier this month but plans to remain in Cincinnati and the Bengals have not shown any desire to trade him.
| Footballguys view: Normally we would say that there is zero chance a quarterback of Burrow's caliber would be traded, but this is the Bengals. The reality is that having Burrow creates urgency for the frugal organization to spend to increase their chances of winning the Super Bowl while they have one of the best quarterbacks in the game. That this is even being reported is a sign that the chance of a Burrow isn't zero, even if it is very small. |

Bowles signed a three-year contract extension earlier this year which will run through the end of the 2028 season.

The Indianapolis Colts are likely to start QB Riley Leonard in Week 18's game versus the Houston Texans, after the team was mathematically eliminated from postseason contention Saturday, Dec. 27, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Jonathan Taylor is battling with James Cook to win the NFL rushing title, so he may get a lot of run next week, but the Colts chances of beating the Texans with the AFC South champion still undecided will go down with Leonard in at quarterback. |
