Shough completed 22 of 27 passes for 333 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing four times for six yards in the Saints' 34-26 win over the Titans on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by New Orleans.

Shough stuck to a tight circle of six targets overall and was once again operating short-handed in his pass-catching corps, considering Mason Tipton (groin) was inactive. Nevertheless, the rookie brought the Saints back from an early 13-0 deficit with the help of 19- and 10-yard touchdown passes to Chris Olave and Kevin Austin, respectively. Shough's first pair of career 300-yard performances have come in the last two games, and he'll aim to close out what has turned into a highly promising rookie season in a Week 18 road matchup against the Falcons.

Shough completed 32 of 39 pass attempts for 308 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for eight yards in Sunday's 29-6 win over the Jets.

Shough posted the first 300-yard passing performance of his NFL career, pushing past his previous career high of 282 passing yards. The highlight of the rookie second-round pick's impressive performance was a 23-yard touchdown pass to Chris Olave in the third quarter, as Shough carried the offense with his arm while the Saints played with a depleted backfield. Shough and the Saints will take a three-game winning streak into an eminently winnable Week 17 road game against the Titans.

McCaffrey (back) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game against the Seahawks, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

McCaffrey initially dealt with a back injury in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win against the Bears. Per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com, the issue was described as stiffness by the running back himself Tuesday, when he didn't practice, but McCaffrey got back on the practice field Wednesday as a limited participant and now is clear for Week 18. McCaffrey is four catches away from reaching 100 for the third time in his career.

McCaffrey (back) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

McCaffrey was held out of Tuesday's session due to back stiffness, which stems from the evident back issue he was dealing with in the waning moments of this past Sunday's win against the Bears. He did most of his damage before then in the Week 17 win, racking up 181 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD on 27 touches. Earlier Wednesday, GM John Lynch said on Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News that McCaffrey and other key 49ers were trending toward playing Saturday against the Seahawks, and the running back's upgrade in activity level from Tuesday backs up that claim. McCaffrey will have one more chance to get back to full before potentially being tagged with a designation for Week 18 action.

San Francisco general manager John Lynch said Wednesday that McCaffrey (back) is trending in the right direction to play Saturday against the Seahawks, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

McCaffrey could not practice Tuesday due to back stiffness, leaving him two more opportunities to retake the practice field in advance of Saturday night's showdown against Seattle, the winner of which will clinch the NFC West title and the No. 1 playoff seed in the NFC. The 49ers may in part simply be taking a cautious approach to McCaffrey's health due to both his importance as the focal engine of the team's offense and the fact that he's handled 20-plus touches in five consecutive games. McCaffrey previously played through this back injury early December, but he hadn't been listed on San Francisco's injury reports in Week 16 and Week 17.

Brown hauled in five of seven targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Bills.

Brown missed a pair of practice sessions early in the week after having his wisdom teeth removed, but the procedure did not limit the wideout's availability in Sunday's road victory. The 28-year-old paced the Eagles in targets, receptions and yardage while ceding the team's only touchdown reception to TE Dallas Goedert (3-8-1). Brown's solid effort pushed him over the 1,000-yard mark for the fourth consecutive season. The star receiver is looking for a strong finish to the regular season against the Commanders in Week 18.

Brown (teeth) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's road matchup against Buffalo.

Brown had his wisdom teeth removed earlier this week, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, but he's now resumed practicing without limitations after having been listed as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday. The star wideout looks on track to handle his usual role as one of Philadelphia's top playmakers on offense during Sunday's key showdown against the 11-4 Bills. Across his last five regular-season appearances, Brown is averaging seven catches for 95.6 receiving yards per game, with four scores in that span.

Brown (teeth) is participating in the early portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Brown was listed as a non-participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday, so it's encouraging to now see him back on the field in at least a limited capacity. The star wideout is recovering from a dental procedure undergone earlier this week, but he seems to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's showdown against the Bills. The release of Friday's official practice report will reveal whether Brown is assigned an injury designation for Week 17.

Evans brought in three of seven targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Evans was enduring a mostly miserable afternoon before he was able to secure a four-yard touchdown grab with just under a minute remaining to give the Buccaneers some fleeting hope. Otherwise, the perennial Pro Bowler was mostly a non-factor, albeit while crossing the 13,000-yard career mark on one of his earlier catches. Evans has back-to-back 31-yard, one-touchdown efforts, and the team he secured the first of those against, the Panthers, await in a Week 18 home matchup for Tampa Bay that presents a chance for the Bucs to still win the division, with a Week 18 win coupled with a Falcons loss in one of the next two games.

Evans secured five of nine targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

Evans appeared to be on his way to a big day when he hauled in a one-yard scoring pass with just over four minutes remaining in the first quarter, but he was relatively contained the rest of the afternoon. His day also closed out on a sour note, as Scott Smith of the team's official site reports Evans misread Baker Mayfield's intentions on a fourth-quarter pass that resulted in a game-sealing interception for Carolina. The Buccaneers still have a chance to win the NFC South by prevailing in their final two contests, however, so Evans will be locked in during a Week 17 road matchup against a beatable Dolphins secondary.

Little made all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.

Little's field goals came from 34, 42 and 53 yards out, and they also turned a three-point Jacksonville deficit into a six-point win. The 2024 sixth-round pick has been solid for the Jags in his second season, making 87 percent of his field goals (28-of-32) and 45 of 46 extra points. He has not missed a kick from inside 40 yards.

Little made both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Broncos.

Little remains perfect since the Jaguars' Week 8 bye, going 15-for-15 on field goals and 29-for-29 on PATs over the last eight games. Little's makes against the Broncos came from 47 and 26 yards. In a high-scoring Jacksonville offense, Little is a premier fantasy kicker headed into next Sunday's Week 17 date with the Colts.

Robinson took four carries for 22 yards and grabbed his only target for six yards in Sunday's 42-38 win over Chicago.

Robinson rushed five times for 20 yards while failing to catch his only target in Monday's 48-27 win over Indianapolis.

Dike secured four of five targets for 55 yards, rushed once for seven yards, returned one punt for seven yards and ran back one kickoff for 33 yards in the Titans' 34-26 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Dike caught three of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-9 win over Kansas City. He added 145 yards on five kickoff and three punt returns.

Mayer recorded nine receptions on 10 targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Giants.

The Raiders placed Brock Bowers (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, which means Mayer will serve as the Raiders' No. 1 tight end for the final two games of the regular season, beginning with Sunday's game against the Giants.

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