Sutton led the Broncos in all receiving categories as he has re-established himself as Bo Nix’s top target over the past few weeks. He now has three touchdown receptions over his past four games (and nearly came down with a second score on Sunday). Against the Jaguars, Sutton had a whopping 223 air yards and a 27 percent target share. Coming off his second 100-yard game of the 2025 season in Week 15, Sutton once again profiles as a locked-in WR2 in 12-team leagues. He’ll be a must-play in Week 17 against the Chiefs.

Bryant took a massive hit over the middle in the final minute of the Broncos’ loss to Jacksonville. Bo Nix delivered an errant throw and Bryant absorbed a shot to his upper body. He could not get up on his own power, and trainers later put him on a stretcher, loaded him onto a cart, and took Bryant to the locker room for further evaluation. Players from both teams were shaken up, including Bo Nix, who was visibly upset as trainers tended to Bryant, who had five catches for 43 yards before the injury. He would appear to be a long shot to suit up on Thursday against Kansas City.

Estime was widely believed to be the Saints’ No. 1 back headed into Week 16 with Devin Neal and Alvin Kamara sidelined with injuries. But it was gadget player Taysom Hill who easily led the New Orleans backfield with 12 rushes for 42 yards, including all of the goal line work. Estime had sold pass game usage, running a pass route on 34 of the Saints’ 55 drop backs on the day. RB Evan Hull ran ten routes and was not targeted. Estime should be considered a deep league flex play in Week 17 against the Titans.

Minshew needs additional testing, but the injury indeed looked serious when the quarterback got rolled up on the final play of the Chiefs’ opening drive. The 29-year-old spent another quarter trying to play through it before finally admitting defeat. Minshew was wildly ineffective in doing so. We should have final word on his status by Monday afternoon. Chris Oladokun is the next man up for Thursday’s game against the Broncos.

After a few low-volume weeks, McMillan was back to double-digit target volume against the Buccaneers. He operated as the team’s lead wideout and saw multiple end zone targets. Bryce Young was able to find McMillan to convert on one of those end zone targets for a 22-yard score at the end of the first half. Coming off foot/ankle injuries from this past week, McMillan was not hampered by the issues and finishes with 73 receiving yards on his ten targets. He profiles as a fantasy WR2 for Week 17 against the Seahawks.

Olave over the past two weeks has turned his air yards domination into actual fantasy production, which is nice. Tyler Shough, who had 308 yards on the day, targeted Olave relentlessly from start to finish against a Jets secondary that has been shredded in recent weeks. Olave caught one touchdown from Shough and one from 35-year-old gadget player Taysom Hill, who functioned as the centerpiece of the Saints offense for some reason. Olave’s domination of targets and air yards in the New Orleans offense gives him weekly top-10 upside. He’ll get the Titans in Week 17.

McCarthy left Week 16’s game with a right hand injury and did not return. The fact that he was ruled out so quickly led many to believe he suffered a broken bone in his throwing hand. Per Goessling, McCarthy was spotted in a fingerless glove in the locker room after the game. He will undergo more testing on Monday. It sounds like he has a real chance of suiting up in Week 17 against the Lions. If he can’t, Max Brosmer will make another start.

Shough also had a touchdown called back on a holding penalty. He had no issues picking apart the New York secondary, at one point completing nine straight passes. Though he appeared to sustain an ankle injury in the fourth quarter, Shough was relatively un-pressured against a soft Jets front seven. Shough fed Chris Olave from start to finish. Olave easily led all Saints pass catchers with 16 targets and nearly came down with a few downfield shots from Shough, including a near touchdown in the first half. Shough profiles as a solid streaming play for Week 17 against a weak Titans secondary.

Young put together a solid performance in helping the Panthers take the NFC South lead. The first half was slow, but he finally got it going in the two minute drill. Young found Tetairoa McMillan for a 22-yard score to give the Panthers the lead heading into half time. He escaped pressure and scrambled for rushes in the third quarter, eventually scrambling to find Ja’Tavion Sanders for a six-yard touchdown. The final scoring drive that led to a go-ahead Panthers field goal was Young’s 12th career game-winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime. Both touchdown drives and the final field goal drive were to give Carolina the lead. Young is putting together a nice season with the Panthers potentially playoff-bound; he is a QB2 in a tough matchup against the Seahawks for Week 17.

Hall had another inefficient outing, as the Jets managed just 195 total yards against an aggressive Saints defense that sacked QB Brady Cook seven times. Isaiah Davis had three carries as the team’s RB2 while catching all four of his targets for 52 yards. Hall led Davis in routes out of the backfield 22 to 17. Hall, who now has one touchdown over his past seven games, has only exceeded 60 rushing yards six times in 2025. Hall will be a shaky flex play without much upside in Week 17 against the Patriots.
