Young completed 14 of 24 passes for 54 yards and an interception in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks. He added 27 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine carries.

The third-year QB was completely flummoxed through the air by the Seattle defense, setting a season low for passing yards, but Young salvaged some fantasy value with a 10-yard TD dash in the fourth quarter. Young will take a 21:10 TD:INT on the year, plus two rushing scores, into a Week 18 clash with the Buccaneers, with the NFC South title and a playoff spot on the line with a Carolina win. Note that the Panthers can also win the division if the Falcons win their next two games, no matter what Carolina does in the finale.

Young completed 21 of 32 passes for 191 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding four rushes for 20 yards in the Panthers' 23-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Young turned in a relatively efficient effort in the grindy division win, and most important, he avoided any turnovers for the third straight game. The 2023 first overall pick connected with Tetairoa McMillan (22 yards) and Ja'Tavion Sanders (six yards) for his pair of scoring passes late in the second and third quarters, respectively, and he led a late seven-play, 43-yard drive that culminated in what would turn out to be the game-winning field goal. Young and the Panthers draw a tough Week 17 assignment, however, as the Seahawks drop in for a visit next Sunday afternoon.

Rams coach Sean McVay said Friday that Williams (ankle) likely will play Sunday against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

McVay also said he'll play his starters even if the 49ers beat the Seahawks on Saturday, in which case would the Rams would be locked in as the No. 6 seed. That doesn't necessarily mean starters will play the full game, but it does at least seem Williams is healthy enough to start. It's less clear if Blake Corum (ankle) will play, as he made an early exit from Monday's loss to Atlanta and didn't resume practicing until Friday.

Williams (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Both of the Rams' top two running backs are dealing with health concerns at the moment, but Williams at least has been able to log some on-field work, as opposed to Blake Corum (ankle), who was a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will reveal if Williams and/or Corum carry designations ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Williams (ankle) is listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

The Rams held a walk-through just two days after losing to Atlanta on Monday Night Football. RB Blake Corum left the game early with an ankle injury and never returned, though he did hang around on the sideline with a helmet, perhaps still available in an emergency capacity. Williams also looked to get banged up at one point, but only briefly, re-entering the game and handling a vast majority of snaps after halftime. The Rams seemingly are expected to use starters Week 18 against Arizona, but there'd still be some risk of Ronnie Rivers taking over the backfield as the game progresses.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Waddle (ribs) will be limited in practice Friday and listed as questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

Waddle missed practice Wednesday and since has logged back-to-back limited sessions, though it sounds like his status for Sunday's divisional matchup and season finale could come down to the wire. It appears Miami will consider holding out a number of key playmakers, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, as Darren Waller (groin) will be placed on IR and De'Von Achane (shoulder) will sit out practice again Friday, though the standout running back hasn't yet been ruled out for Week 18. Waddle's status will be made official no later than 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Waddle (ribs) returned to a limited practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

After missing practice Wednesday, Waddle's return to a capped session a day later bodes well for his chances of being available for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots. Friday's final injury report is set to determine whether the Dolphins' top wideout heads into the weekend with an injury designation or cleared to face New England in Week 18.

Waddle (ribs) isn't practicing Wednesday, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

Waddle injured his ribs during the second quarter of Sunday's win over Tampa Bay. He returned late in the third quarter but ultimately played just 26 percent of Miami's snaps on offense. With 910 receiving yards on the season, Waddle has some extra motivation to suit up for Week 18 against New England if his availability comes down to a matter of pain tolerance.

Higgins caught four of five targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 37-14 win over Arizona.

The 26-year-old wideout fell one yard shy of Ja'Marr Chase for the team lead, but his teammate bolstered his production with two TDs. Higgins has missed two of the last five games due to concussion issues, and on the season he's posted a 53-779-10 line on 89 targets through 14 contests. He needs one more touchdown to set a new career high, a mark he'll look to reach in Week 18 against the Browns.

Higgins caught all three of his targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.

Making his return from another one-game absence due to a concussion, Higgins made an immediate impact by connecting with Joe Burrow on a nine-yard TD in the first quarter. He's had to sit out two of the last three weeks while in the concussion protocol, but Higgins had has a nose for the end zone this season whenever he's been in the lineup, finding paydirt in six of his last seven appearances and hauling in 10 touchdowns in total over 13 games in 2025. His next score will set a new career high, a mark he'll look to reach in Week 17 against the Cardinals.

Higgins (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Higgins, who was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, finished up the week with a full session Friday before approaching the contest listed as questionable. With the wideout having advanced through the NFL's concussion protocol, Higgins -- who was inactive in Week 15 -- is set to reclaim his key role in a Cincinnati passing attack helmed once again by QB Joe Burrow (making his fourth straight start since returning from a toe injury), which also features high-volume WR Ja'Marr Chase and RB Chase Brown. In 12 games played to date, Higgins has made his mark from a fantasy perspective by recording a 46/667/9 receiving line on 81 targets.

Borregales missed his only field-goal attempt and went 6-for-6 on PATs in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Jets.

Borregales was limited to just one field-goal try for the second time in three weeks, hitting the right upright on a 41-yard attempt in the third quarter. The kicker has now gone 26-for-30 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-3 from 50-plus yards, while making 48 of 50 extra-point attempts over 16 games in his rookie campaign.

Borregales converted on both of his field-goal tries and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens.

The rookie from Miami has been one of the best kickers in the NFL this season, making 26 of 29 field-goal tries and 42 of 44 point-after attempts across 15 contests. He's expected to have plenty of scoring opportunities in the Week 17 matchup against the Jets.

Metchie caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Patriots.

Metchie caught one of five targets for four yards in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

Coach Dan Campbell said Wednesday that LaPorta is "improving," but "he's not completely healed" from the back injury that forced him to injured reserve Nov. 15, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

Mevis made his lone field-goal attempt and connected on all three of his extra-point tries during the Rams' 27-24 loss to the Falcons on Monday.
