Mostert rushed once for six yards and caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans. He also returned two kickoffs for 53 yards.

Mostert's only carry of the contest didn't come until the start of the fourth quarter, and workhorse running back Ashton Jeanty hogged the offensive spotlight with 25 total touches for 188 yards and two scores. A similarly one-sided backfield split can be expected against the Giants in Week 17.

Mayer caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans.

Mayer has not caught more than one pass in a single contest since Week 11, though he played 36 of 54 offensive snaps for the Raiders on Sunday. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Brock Bowers paced the team with five receptions on as many targets for 33 yards and a score.

Bech caught two of three targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans.

Bech filled the WR2 role behind Tre Tucker after Tyler Lockett exited Sunday's contest early with a wrist injury, and Bech could see a similarly increased level of involvement against the Giants in Week 17 if Lockett remains sidelined. Bech has caught at least two passes in four consecutive games, but he's yet to find the end zone as a rookie.

Judkins will undergo surgery Tuesday in Cleveland to repair a dislocated right ankle and fractured fibula, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Judkins will face a 4-to-5-month recovery timeline following surgery, putting him on track to be available for the start of training camp in late July. In his absence over the final two games of the season, Cleveland will rely on a committee of running backs that includes Dylan Sampson (hand/calf), Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams. Judkins wrap up his rookie campaign with 230 carries for 827 yards (3.6 average) and seven touchdowns to go with 26 catches for 171 yards on 36 targets over 14 games.

Thornton was not targeted in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans.

Thornton played just four offensive snaps in the Raiders' ninth consecutive defeat, while fellow rookie receiver Jack Bech caught two of three targets for 43 yards in the WR2 role behind Tre Tucker. Thornton has not caught a pass since Week 13, and he's even ceded playing time to punt returner Alex Bachman.

Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Sampson (hand/calf) is improving by the day, Noah Monroe of the Browns' official website reports.

Sampson missed Week 16, and the coach is hopeful for a return this coming Sunday against the Steelers. With Quinshon Judkins (leg/ankle) out of action for the remainder of the regular season, the Browns hope to have a full complement of backs available. That includes Sampson, Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams. If all are healthy for Week 17, Sampson would be considered the lead back.

Robinson had two receptions on as many targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 48-27 win over Indianapolis.

Robinson finally hit pay dirt with the 49ers after being held out of the end zone in his first 11 appearances with the club he signed with this past offseason. The veteran wideout's usage didn't increase with WR Ricky Pearsall (ankle/knee) sidelined Monday, but he was the beneficiary of one of QB Brock Purdy's five touchdown strikes. Even factoring in the rare score, Robinson simply isn't a big enough part of San Francisco's game plan to warrant fantasy consideration in Week 17.

Bourne had three receptions on five targets for 27 yards in Monday's 48-27 win over the Colts.

Bourne was inserted into the starting lineup in place of injured teammate Ricky Pearsall (ankle/knee) and finished fourth in team targets. The 29-year-old Bourne was unable to recreate the gaudy receiving numbers we saw in Weeks 5 and 6 when he was asked to start in place of injured starters then. If Pearsall remains sidelined against the Bears and TE George Kittle (ankle) is also unable to go, then that scenario could produce enough meat on the bone for Bourne to eat in Week 17.

Jennings corralled five of six targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 48-27 win over the Colts.

Jennings' short touchdown grab on the 49ers' first possession of the second half extended the wideout's scoring streak four games. The 27-year-old has shown a strong nose for the end zone in the second half of the season as well, scoring seven of his career-best eight touchdowns in 2025 over his last seven starts. Jennings was already being asked to play a larger role on offense with WR Ricky Pearsall (ankle/knee) back on the sidelines, and that role could expand further if TE George Kittle (ankle) is forced to miss time after going down in Monday's win. Things are lining up for Jennings to close out the fantasy campaign with a bang, starting with Sunday's home tilt against the Bears.

Warren brought in three of nine targets for 30 yards in the Colts' 48-27 loss to the 49ers on Monday night.

Warren tied Josh Downs for the team lead in targets, but he wasn't anywhere near as productive as his teammate. The rookie tight end has now been at 45 receiving yards or fewer in five straight games, a far cry from the 61.7 receiving yards he averaged over his first 10 career contests. Warren has seen 15 targets over his first two games with Philip Rivers, however, affording him upside despite recent struggles in a Week 17 home matchup versus the Jaguars.
