Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Burrow will start the team's remaining three regular-season games despite having been eliminated from playoff contention, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Taylor dismissed the notion that Cincinnati might consider sitting Burrow to preserve his health, in spite of the fact that the team's 24-0 loss to Baltimore in Week 15 closed the door on any chances of a playoff berth. "We want to win," Taylor said. Burrow missed nine games due to a turf toe injury before returning to action on Thanksgiving Day, when he earned a win against the Ravens, but the Bengals then lost to the Bills before he struggled mightily during the team's most recent matchup against Baltimore. He'll work to both close out the year strong and avoid any injuries during Cincinnati's next three matchups, beginning Sunday on the road against Miami.

Burrow was held to 225 passing yards in Sunday's shutout loss to the Ravens. He connected on 25 passes on 39 attempts, was picked off twice and sacked three times.

Time after time, the Bengals moved the ball in the middle of the field, only to stall out when reaching Ravens territory. The final insult was a pick-six thrown by Burrow after they had driven the ball inside the Ravens' 10-yard line. With the loss, the Bengals have been eliminated from the playoffs and have some hard questions to answer for the long run. In the short term, they may even question whether it makes sense to risk Burrow re-injuring his toe in three meaningless season-ending games against Miami, Arizona and Cleveland.

Burrow completed 25 of 36 passes for 284 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in the Bengals' 39-34 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Burrow was victimized by a pair of line-of-scrimmage interceptions on back-to-back plays in the fourth quarter, which ultimately turned the tide of the game. The Bills' Christian Benford made a stellar leaping grab of an attempted screen pass on the first pick, while A.J. Epenesa got ahold of a deflected throw in the second instance. Otherwise, Burrow's second game back after a long layoff saw the 2020 first-round pick thrive despite snowy conditions, connecting on a season-high four touchdown passes to Tee Higgins (21, 25 yards), Chase Brown (10 yards ) and Mike Gesicki (12 yards). Burrow will next face off with the same Ravens squad he upended in his Thanksgiving Night return when Baltimore pays a visit for a Week 15 matchup next Sunday.

Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against the Packers.

Swift showed up on the Bears' Week 16 practice report Wednesday as limited due to a groin injury and maintained that activity level one day later. His status now won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but if Swift is inhibited or even sidelined, Kyle Monangai would be poised for a larger workload out of Chicago's backfield.

Swift was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury.

Swift was added to the Bears' Week 16 injury report midweek, which often indicates a health concern suffered on the practice field. How he's listed Thursday will provide a sense of his ability to suit up Saturday against the Packers, but Kyle Monangai is on hand in the event Swift is inhibited or sidelined.

Swift rushed the ball 18 times for 98 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns. He added one reception on one target for minus-2 yards.

Swift split carries with Kyle Monangai through the first half, but the Bears relied upon the former heavily to close out the game. He enjoyed a big second half as a result, picking up 56 yards on nine carries, highlighted by a 17-yard score late in the third quarter. Swift also punched in a score midway through the first quarter, giving him his first multi-touchdown performance of the season. He's now recorded at least 80 yards from scrimmage in five of his last six games.

Olave caught six of nine targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Panthers.

Olave recorded a 12-yard touchdown reception with 2:29 remaining in the fourth quarter. The ensuing PAT tied the game, and Saints kicker Charlie Smyth tacked on the game-winning 47-yard field goal with two seconds left. Working as New Orleans' clear No. 1 wide receiver, Olave has reached 50 receiving yards or scored a touchdown in all but one game this season. He'll likely maintain a prominent role in Week 16 against the subpar Jets secondary.

Olave brought in three of five targets for 30 yards in the Saints' 24-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Olave played through a back issue for the second straight week and put together a modest performance by his lofty standards, although Devaughn Vele was the Saints' leader in receiving yards with just 10 more than Olave. The fourth-year wideout's yardage tally was his second lowest of the season, but Olave managed to keep his season-long streak of no less than three catches in any game alive. Olave next takes aim at the Panthers secondary in a Week 15 home clash next Sunday.

Olave (back) is active for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

For the second week in a row, Olave took a questionable tag into game day, but he'll once again be able to play though the back issue after turning in limited practices Thursday and Friday. Olave didn't appear to be operating with any restrictions during last week's loss to the Dolphins, finishing with four catches for 47 yards on seven targets while notching his fifth touchdown catch of the season.

Smith (shoulder/back) practiced fully Wednesday.

Adam Schefter of ESPN previously reported that coach Pete Carroll said there was "a good chance" that Smith would rejoin the lineup Sunday against the Texans, and the QB's full practice participation Wednesday sets the stage for that to occur. With Smith inactive in Week 15, Kenny Pickett struggled to get the Raiders offense going in a 31-0 loss to Eagles (the team's eighth straight defeat). In his looming return to action, Smith only merits fantasy consideration in deeper, QB-friendly formats while facing a stout Houston defense.

Smith (shoulder/back) is returning to practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Smith didn't practice at all last week, yet Raiders coach Pete Carroll said the veteran QB had "a really good chance to be back" for Week 16 against the Texans. It's arguably a matchup between the NFL's best defense and worst offense, but Smith's presence would at least be good news for fantasy managers that are relying on TE Brock Bowers or RB Ashton Jeanty.

Raiders head coach Pete Carroll declined Monday to state whether Smith (shoulder/back) is expected to practice Wednesday or return to action for Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Smith didn't practice in any capacity Week 15 before being ruled out for Las Vegas' blowout loss to the Eagles. Kenny Pickett will figure to draw another start if Smith is unable to return versus Houston on Sunday. Carroll had previously expressed optimism about Smith's chances of retaking the field Week 16, but it doesn't appear a more substantial update on the veteran quarterback's health will arrive until Wednesday's practice report is released.

Dicker made all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

Dicker put the Chargers on the board with a 49-yard field goal late in the first quarter before adding two more field goals from 23 and 49 yards in the third quarter. Sunday marked the sixth time this season that Dicker has made at least three field goals in a game. He's been perfect since the Week 12 bye, and through 13 regular-season games he has gone 34-for-36 on field-goal attempts and 29-for-29 on point-after tries.

Dicker made all five field-goal attempts and converted his sole PAT in Monday night's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles.

Dicker's longest kick of the day was a 54-yard field goal in overtime that ended up being the game-winner. The kicker accounted for 16 of the Chargers' 22 points and extended his lead as the NFL's leader in career field goal percentage (with more than 100 attempts), sitting at a 93.8 percent conversion rate.
