Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday that McCarthy has been diagnosed with a small hairline fracture in his right hand following an MRI and has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lions.

According to Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune, O'Connell said that McCarthy's injury is "similar to a bone bruise," adding that the Vikings don't view the issue as significant enough to send the second-year quarterback to injured reserve. The Vikings are thus leaving the door open for McCarthy to play in their season finale Jan. 4 versus the Packers, but he won't have sufficient time to heal up from the injury in advance of Thursday's contest. The Vikings will turn to Max Brosmer to make his second start of the season, after the undrafted rookie came on in relief for an injured McCarthy in this past Sunday's 16-13 win over the Giants.

McCarthy (hand) was deemed a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

McCarthy, who left Sunday's 16-13 win over the Giants with an injury to his right throwing hand, thus has two more chances to upgrade his listed participation level ahead of Thursday's game against the Lions. In the event that McCarthy is unavailable for the contest, Max Brosmer would be in line to draw the start at QB for the Vikings in his place.

McCarthy, who left Sunday's 16-13 win over the Giants, appears to have avoided a broken bone in his hand, according to Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune, with coach Kevin O'Connell having confirmed that the QB's initial X-rays came up negative.

Following the game, McCarthy was spotted with his right hand in a fingerless glove in the Vikings' locker room. Per Goessling, McCarthy will undergo further testing Monday, but for now consider the QB day-to-day as Thursday's game against the Lions approaches. If McCarthy is unavailable for that contest, Max Brosmer would be in line to draw the start in his place.

McLaurin recorded three receptions on four targets for 53 yards in Saturday's 29-18 loss to the Eagles.

McLaurin looked to be in for a solid game, logging each of his receptions and all of his yardage by halftime. His biggest impact came on a 40-yard catch deep down the left sideline, when he beat Adoree' Jackson midway through the second quarter. The Commanders' entire passing game became limited after Marcus Mariota (hand) was forced to exit early in the third quarter, which led to a muted stat line for McLaurin. He would be a very risky fantasy option in Week 17 against the Cowboys if Josh Johnson is the starter.

McLaurin caught three of four targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Giants.

The Commanders' top wideout was having a quiet day until connecting with Marcus Mariota on a 51-yard score in the fourth quarter. It's McLaurin's second TD in three games since returning from a quadriceps injury, a stretch in which he's posted a 13-216-2 line on 24 targets. Whether Mariota or Jayden Daniels (elbow) is under center in Week 16 against the Eagles, McLaurin figures to be his QB's top downfield option.

Hurts completed 22 of 30 passes for 185 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions in Saturday's 29-18 win over the Eagles. He added seven rushes for 40 yards.

Hurts had an accurate game as a passer, but he worked primarily in short and intermediate areas of the field. Nevertheless, he managed a 24-yard completion to A.J. Brown and also tallied touchdown passes from five and 15 yards away. Hurts also showed some aggression on the ground, logging his highest rushing total since Week 4. He'll draw a tough Week 17 matchup against the Bills, though he has gotten back on track in recent weeks by tallying multiple scores in four of his last five matchups.

Hurts completed 12 of 15 passes for 175 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed seven times for 39 yards in the Eagles' 31-0 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Coming off a forgettable five-turnover showing against the Chargers in a Week 14 overtime loss, Hurts was near perfect against a considerably inferior opponent. The reigning Super Bowl MVP threw two short shovel-pass TDs to Dallas Goedert before connecting with A.J. Brown from 27 yards out on the first play of the fourth quarter to close out the scoring on the afternoon. Hurts now has multiple TD tosses in two of the last three games after a three-game stretch with one or zero scoring passes, and he lines up for another potentially productive day in a Week 16 road matchup against the Commanders on Saturday afternoon.

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.

Little made both of his field-goal attempts and went 6-for-6 on extra-point tries during the Jaguars' 48-20 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Little saw the field mostly on point-after tries and kickoffs as the Jaguars offense put on a dominant showing Sunday, but he did connect on short field goals from 33 and 22 yards in the second and third quarter, respectively. It's the eighth time this season that Little has connected on two or more field goals, five of which have come in the seven games since the Jaguars' Week 8 bye. Since the bye, the second-year kicker has made all 13 of his field-goal attempts and each of his 25 point-after tries.

Tuten (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Tuten (finger) did not practice Wednesday.

Tuten is reportedly set to undergo surgery due to a right finger injury suffered during Sunday's win over the Jets, Garry Smits of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Downs brought in five of nine targets for 65 yards in the Colts' 48-27 loss to the 49ers on Monday night. He also rushed once for three yards.

Downs caught three of five targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.

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.

Dike recorded four receptions on five targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the 49ers. He added four kick returns for 90 yards and one rush for minus-7 yards.

Fannin secured four of six targets for 34 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for a one-yard touchdown in the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Fannin is expected to lead the Browns' tight end unit Week 16 against the Bills, as David Njoku (knee) has been ruled out, per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Fannin recorded seven receptions on 14 targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 31-1 loss to the Bears. He added one rush for two yards.
