Cousins completed 21 of 35 pass attempts for 197 yards, two touchdowns, one interception and a lost fumble while scoring a third touchdown and losing three yards on five carries in Sunday's 26-19 win over Arizona.

Cousins was unable to replicate last week's vintage 373-yard performance, but he was able to reproduce the trio of touchdowns in another winning effort. The 36-year-old's third trip to the end zone came via a rare QB sneak in the fourth quarter that would end up serving as the game-deciding score Sunday. Cousins is beginning to show flashes of his former glory after looking rusty in his first few starts taking over for the injured Michael Penix (knee). While he is far from a sure thing, Cousins has at least put himself back in the conversation for potential starting options for fantasy managers in desperate QB situations. A Week 17 matchup against a tough Rams defensive unit dampens the excitement around the veteran starter for those in standard fantasy leagues.

Cousins completed 30 of 44 passes for 373 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Falcons' 29-28 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Cousins' what-year-is-this performance was worthy of a double take, considering the veteran signal-caller had looked like he'd regressed considerably in his previous four starts and two in-game cameos prior to Thursday night. He had embarrassed the Buccaneers secondary last season in an unforgettable 509-yard, four-touchdown TNF performance as well, and this latest prolific effort went largely through tight end Kyle Pitts, who was on the receiving end of 11 of Cousins' completions totaling 166 yards and also recorded all three receiving touchdowns on the night. Cousins' performance was all the more noteworthy considering the absence of Drake London (knee), and it certainly brightens the outlook for the Falcons' air attack heading into a Week 16 road matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Dec. 21 that the talented wideout should have a good chance of being ready for.

The Lions listed Montgomery as a non-participant on Tuesday's injury report due to an illness.

Montgomery didn't appear on Detroit's initial Week 17 report that was released Monday, so the veteran running back presumably fell ill overnight or earlier Tuesday. As long as Montgomery is back on the field in some capacity Wednesday, he should be ready to reprise his usual duties as Jahmyr Gibbs' top backup in Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Montgomery rushed four times for 14 yards in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers.

Montgomery played a season-low 13 snaps on offense as Detroit failed to ever get the ground game going in Week 16. The running back failed to reach the end zone for the first time since Week 12, and he now has gone six straight contests without garnering double-digit carries and back-to-back without a catch. Montgomery will look to right the ship Christmas Day versus the Vikings.

Montgomery carried the ball seven times for 32 yards and a touchdown and failed to reel in his only target in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.

Montgomery was able to reach the end zone for the third straight week, plunging in for a one-yard score in the fourth quarter. The running back has now gone five straight games without double-digit carries after having reached at least 11 totes in seven of the team's first nine contests of the year. Montgomery has turned 136 carries into 635 yards and eight touchdowns while catching 21 of 26 targets for 164 yards over 14 games this season.

Johnson secured his only target for minus-1 yard in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

The rookie's minimal role persisted in Sunday's loss, with Johnson seeing the field on just 25 percent (16 snaps) of the Buccaneers' offensive plays. The recent return of Mike Evans and season debut of Jalen McMillan has predictably pushed Johnson down the depth chart, where he projects to remain for the final two games of the regular season and in the postseason, if Tampa Bay advances.

Johnson failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday.

Johnson saw both Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan return to the field Thursday, making it wholly unsurprising the rookie was limited to just one target and logged his lowest snap count (15) since his Week 1 debut. Johnson was unable to convert that single look into a catch, making it two straight games without a reception. Provided the Buccaneers' receiving corps remains at full strength for the team's remaining three regular-season games, Johnson figures to be a fantasy afterthought.

Engram recorded two receptions on four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Engram remained relatively uninvolved in the Broncos' offense, finishing fifth on the team in targets. He did manage a long catch of 33 yards, which ultimately helped set up a touchdown. Engram has two or fewer catches in three consecutive games and has combined to record only 56 yards in that span.

Engram recorded one reception on three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.

The absence of Pat Bryant (hamstring) shifted targets in the Denver offense, though Engram remained in a peripheral role. He made his lone catch late in the third quarter, though it helped keep a drive alive that ultimately resulted in a touchdown. While Engram will retain a significant snap count in the Denver offense, he's been held to 15 or fewer receiving yards in four of the team's last six games.

The Browns announced that Judkins was placed on injured reserve after he underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a dislocated right ankle and fractured right fibula.

Judkins is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026 season and should be ready to resume football activities in 4-to-6 months. The rookie running back suffered the season-ending injury during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills. With Judkins out for the final two contests of the 2025 campaign, Cleveland is expected to roll with some combination of Dylan Sampson (hand/calf), Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams out of the backfield in Weeks 17 and 18. Judkins finished the season 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.

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 wrapped 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.

Judkins is expected to be sidelined 4-to-5 months once he undergoes surgery to address the dislocated right ankle and fractured right fibula he suffered during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The rookie second-round pick's projected recovery timeline could allow him to return to the practice field in some capacity during OTAs, potentially setting him up to gain full clearance in advance of training camp. With Judkins' 2025 campaign now over, Dylan Sampson (hand), Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders will fill out the Browns backfield over the final two weeks of the campaign. Across 14 appearances this season, Judkins gained 827 yards and seven scores on 230 carries. He also secured 26 of 36 targets for 171 receiving yards.

Howard (coach's decision) is inactive and will serve as Pittsburgh's emergency third quarterback Sunday against Detroit.

Howard (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Steelers' emergency third quarterback Monday against the Dolphins, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Rice (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Rice (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Reed brought in all three targets for 35 yards and rushed once for six yards in the Packers' 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears on Saturday night.

Reed recorded five receptions on six targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.

Reed (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Denver.

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

Sanders caught both of his targets for five yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.
