Stroud completed 23 of 35 pass attempts for 187 yards and a touchdown while gaining no yards on four rush attempts in Sunday's 23-21 victory over Las Vegas.

Stroud failed to follow up last week's three-score outing with a more modest fantasy performance in Week 16. The 23-year-old returned to his game-manager style of play in which he protected the football and did just enough on offense to secure victory for Houston. The Ohio State product's modest totals resulted in him failing to extend his streak of throwing for 200 or more yards to four games. Stroud's low ceiling in fantasy makes him a middling option for Week 17 in a road matchup against the Chargers.

Stroud completed 22 of 29 passes for 260 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals. He added 10 rushing yards on six carries.

A 57-yard TD strike to Nico Collins on the second play of the game set the tone for the rout, and Stroud tossed two more scores -- one to Dalton Schultz in the third quarter and a second to Collins in the fourth -- before the afternoon was over. It's the second time this season Stroud has thrown more than two touchdowns, with the other coming against the Ravens back in Week 5. The third-year QB is keeping the Texans in position for a playoff spot, and he'll take a 15:6 TD:INT through 11 games into another soft matchup against the Raiders in Week 16.

Stroud acknowledge his poise faltered against Kansas City's aggressive defense in the second half of Sunday's win over the Chiefs, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports. "I think that's something I can get better at, just being calm in the chaos," Stroud said. "Pressure, guys flying at your feet, hitting you after the whistle or whatever the case may be. I just want to be able to put my team in better positions."

Lost among Houston's fifth straight victory and dominating defensive effort was the offense's second-half struggles to move the ball. After leaping to a 10-0 lead at halftime, the Texans totaled 67 yards (2.0 yards per play) in the final 30 minutes with four consecutive three-and-outs as the Chiefs dialed up blitz after blitz. Houston's defense set up a couple of short fields in the fourth quarter, which produced the final 10 points and secured the win. Stroud's performance against the pressure is somewhat surprising, given his 60.3 percent completion percentage against pressure heading into the game was the best of his career and better than most quarterbacks this season. In Week 15, Stroud faces the Cardinals, who rank 12th in blitzing (25.1 percent) but only 27th in pressures (18.3 percent) and sacks (24) through 13 games.

Pollard carried the ball 21 times for 102 yards in Sunday's 26-9 win over Kansas City.

The veteran back continues to roll, topping 100 rushing yards for a third straight game after going the first 12 games of the season without reaching triple digits. Pollard did cede more work to Tyjae Spears, however, as the younger RB saw a season-high 13 carries and 18 touches, turning them into 105 scrimmage yards of his own along with a rushing TD. With the Titans' offense finally looking at least competent, Pollard and Spears could remain in something close to a timeshare over the final two weeks of the season. Pollard is 51 rushing yards shy of his fourth straight 1,000-yard campaign, a milestone he'll look to reach in Week 17 against the Saints.

Pollard rushed the ball 14 times for 104 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the 49ers. He added one reception on two targets for eight yards.

Pollard has struggled for most of the season, but he managed his second consecutive 100-yard performance on the ground in Sunday's loss. He recorded two rushes of at least 20 yards, and he also capped off a scoring drive late in the game with a six-yard plunge into the end zone. After totaling only two scores in his first 12 matchups of the campaign, Pollard has three combined across his last two contests.

The NFL announced Tuesday that Metcalf's two-game suspension was upheld on appeal.

Metcalf was handed the suspension for "conduct detrimental to the NFL," after he was involved in an altercation with a fan in Detroit on Sunday. Now that the two-game ban has been upheld, the wide receiver will miss the team's final two games of the regular season, and as a result, $45 million in guaranteed money on his four-year contract has now been voided. In Metcalf's absence for Week 17 in Cleveland and Week 18 against Baltimore, receivers Calvin Austin (hamstring), Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdes-Scantling could all be in line for increased snap counts and target shares. Running back Kenneth Gainwell could also continue to see heavy involvement in the passing game after drawing seven targets in each of the past three contests.

Metcalf has been suspended two games for "conduct detrimental to the NFL for initiating a physical confrontation with a fan" during Sunday's game against the Lions, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Metcalf plans to appeal the suspension, but at this stage the wideout is slated to miss the Steelers' final two regular-season contests and would be eligible to return for the playoffs, should the team qualify. In Metcalf's looming absence, fellow WRs Calvin Austin (hamstring), Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdes-Scantling figure to see added opportunities, with TEs Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith also candidates to absorb some of the targets that would otherwise go Metcalf's way.

Metcalf recorded four receptions on nine targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Lions.

The Steelers ran an uncharacteristically pass-heavy offense, which should have led to a big performance from Metcalf. His nine targets were his second-highest mark of the season, yet he was held below 50 receiving yards for the sixth time in his last eight games. To make matters worse, Metcalf was engaged in an altercation with a fan, and his behavior will be reviewed by the league in the upcoming week, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.

Flowers recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Patriots. He added one rush for 18 yards and one touchdown.

Flowers had one of his better showings of the season, as he topped 100 yards from scrimmage for only the third time in 15 games. He was particularly involved as a pass catcher early in the contest -- before Lamar Jackson exited with a back injury -- logging receptions of 19 and 18 yards on Baltimore's first possession before chipping in a 14-yard catch on the team's second drive. Flowers also found the end zone for the second consecutive game on a 14-yard end-around late in the third quarter. Despite turning in one of his more productive games of the season, Flowers' effort was overshadowed by a lost fumble late in the game that helped New England clinch the win.

Flowers caught three of five targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Bengals.

Lamar Jackson ended up attempting only 12 passes on the day as the Ravens defense dominated, but one of those tosses went for a 28-yard TD to Flowers in the second quarter. It was the third-year wideout's first trip to the end zone since Week 1, but it continued a productive stretch for Flowers that has seen him top 60 yards in six of eight games since Baltimore's bye while compiling a 37-536-1 line on 54 targets. Flowers will likely be a little busier in Week 16 against the Patriots.

McManus converted all three field goal attempts and his sole extra-point try in the Packers' 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears on Saturday.

McManus made field goals from 25 yards, 21 yards and 27 yards, adding an extra point in the third quarter after Malik Willis' 33-yard touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs. The kicker moves to 22-of-28 on field goal tries and 29-of-30 on extra-point attempts over 12 contests.

McManus hit all four field-goal tries and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.

McManus connected on field goals from 53, 26, 35 and 37 yards, respectively. Though he missed six field goals earlier in the season, the kicker has now made eight in a row since returning to the lineup following a Week 11 quadriceps injury.

Herbert completed 23 of his 29 pass attempts for 300 yards and two touchdowns and also added eight carries for 42 yards and an additional score in the 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

Herbert completed 19 of 29 passes for 210 yards with a touchdown and an interception while rushing twice for no gain in the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

Herbert (left hand) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Kansas City.

White (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Johnson caught eight of nine targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 29-6 win over the Jets.

Johnson caught all four of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Panthers.
