Patriots | Kayshon Boutte in concussion protocol Tue Dec 23, 11:44 AM
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (concussion) is in the concussion protocol Tuesday, Dec. 23.
| Footballguys view: Boutte being out could mean more work for rookie wideout Kyle Williams, who hauled in a 37-yard touchdown pass against the Ravens. DeMario Douglas, who has been quiet in recent weeks, could also see more action. Remember, however, Douglas left Sunday's game with a hamstring injury. Head coach Mike Vrabel didn't offer an update on Douglas. We'll be watching for more on Boutte and Douglas as the week progresses. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson in protocol Tue Dec 23, 11:40 AM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (concussion) is in concussion protocol Tuesday, Dec. 23.
| Footballguys view: If Henderson is out for Sunday's game against the Jets, the Patriots could look to elevate a player from the practice squad to work behind Rhamondre Stevenson and D'Ernest Johnson, who is currently filling in for the injured Terrell Jennings. All that said, Stevenson would be in a great spot for this one, going up against a New York defense that's allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs (29.4 points per game) over the past six weeks. We'll follow up on Henderson over the coming days. |
Steelers | DK Metcalf could lose big-time money Tue Dec 23, 09:50 AM
Updating previous reports, Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf, who is appealing his two-game suspension, will forfeit $555,556 for the two games. The suspension would also void $45 million in future guaranteed money, according to his contract, which was reviewed by CBS Sports and ESPN.
| Footballguys view: We'll watch for word on the appeal, but assuming Metcalf misses time, the Steelers will be without a clear No. 1 receiver in their final two regular-season games. The position group could be even more depleted after Calvin Austin III left the 29-24 victory against the Lions with a hamstring injury. While RB Kenneth Gainwell leads the Steelers with 62 receptions, Metcalf leads the team with 850 receiving yards on 59 catches. The Steelers added WR Adam Thielen to the active roster, and he fared well against Detroit. Again, the appeal is pending, but fantasy managers should make other plans. |

Colts | Big night for Alec Pierce Tue Dec 23, 01:45 AM
Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce tallied four receptions, 86 yards, and two touchdowns in a Week 16 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
| Footballguys view: Pierce's value is now at an all-time high, and with him set to hit free agency this offseason, the Colts will likely have competition to retain him. As A to Z Sports' Destin Adam suggested, Pierce has positioned himself well with the most receiving yards of his career (871) and four touchdowns. He'll also be somebody fantasy investors have great interest in next summer, regardless of landing spot. |

Colts | Philip Rivers turns back the clock on MNF Tue Dec 23, 12:59 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Philip Rivers completed 23 of 35 passes for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16. With the game out of hand late, Rivers was replaced by QB Riley Leonard on the final drive.
| Footballguys view: After Rivers played it close to the vest against Seattle in Week 14 -- in his first game in five years -- he opened things up in a significant way Monday night, pushing the ball farther downfield after averaging just 4.4 yards per attempt in his previous game. Unfortunately, the Colts' defense had its most miserable performance of the season. After starting 2025 at 8-2 and in the conversation among title contenders, Indianapolis has now lost five straight and seems destined to miss the playoffs again. But they're not eliminated yet, so expect Rivers to make another start. |

49ers | George Kittle productive despite missing time with ankle injury Tue Dec 23, 12:04 AM
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) limped off the field in the third quarter of the Week 16 game against the Indianapolis Colts due to an ankle injury. He was deemed questionable to return, but he did not.
| Footballguys view: Before exiting, Kittle caught seven of eight targets for 115 yards and a touchdown. Since returning from an early-season injury, Kittle has been a key part of this Niners offense throughout the tumult that was the middle portion of the campaign. Now that San Francisco is closer to full strength than it has been at any other point in 2025, he's poised to have more outings like the one he had Monday night. That said, we'll need to monitor the ankle heading into a Week 17 tilt with the Bears. |

49ers | Christian McCaffrey scores twice on MNF Tue Dec 23, 12:03 AM
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey had 21 carries for 117 yards versus the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. He added six receptions for 29 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers' run game has struggled to gain traction all season, and Monday didn't seem the most likely time for that to change against a Colts defense that entered tied for second in yards per carry allowed (3.8). But San Francisco's offensive line was up to the task with McCaffrey enjoying his second-best rushing effort of the season. McCaffrey surpassed 1,000 rushing yards for the season, the fifth time he has done it in his career. He'll go up against the Bears on Sunday night in Week 17. |

49ers | Brock Purdy throws five TD passes Tue Dec 23, 12:02 AM
San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy completed 25 of 34 passes for 295 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception versus the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. Purdy also ran the ball twice for 11 yards in the win.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner suggested, "Monday Night Football" hadn't been kind to Purdy, as he had thrown five touchdowns and 11 interceptions in his five appearances entering this game. But Purdy shrugged those woes off against a depleted Colts secondary, posting his first career five-touchdown game. He's the first Niners quarterback to throw for five scores on MNF and the team's first signal-caller to throw for five or more touchdowns in a regular-season or playoff game since Steve Young in Super Bowl XXIX against the Chargers. The Niners play the Bears on Sunday night in Week 17. |
49ers | Five carries for Brian Robinson Jr. Tue Dec 23, 12:01 AM
San Francisco 49ers RB Brian Robinson Jr. carried the ball five times for 20 yards in a Week 16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. He was targeted once as a receiver but did not have a catch.

Bills | Josh Allen day-to-day Mon Dec 22, 04:28 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) is considered day-to-day because of the foot injury he suffered in Week 16, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Allen could miss some practice time this week, but McDermott expects Allen to be available for Week 17.
| Footballguys view: Allen took a 23-yard sack late in the first half of Sunday's game, but injured himself on the play. He told reporters later he tweaked his foot a little bit. He returned for the second half of the game -- after having precautionary X-rays on the foot. Allen said the pain subsided, but he clearly had to battle through the second half. He finished the game, completing just 12 of 19 passes for 130 yards. He failed to produce a TD running or passing. We'll watch for more on this one as Sunday afternoon's tilt with the Eagles draws nearer. |
