The back injury Jackson suffered in the second quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Patriots ended up sidelining him for the remainder of the game, but it sounds like he’ll have a chance to return in Week 17 against the Packers. The Ravens are hanging onto their playoff hopes by a thread, needing to win out over the final two weeks of the season while also needing the Steelers to lose their final two games. Facing a true do-or-die scenario next week, the Ravens will hope Jackson can return under center come Saturday. If he’s unable to go, Tyler Huntley would draw the start in his absence.

Maye also coughed the football up twice, losing one fumble, which was nothing a fourth quarter comeback could not erase. The second-year quarterback led the charge for the first New England come-from-behind victory from 11 down in the fourth quarter since their Super Bowl win over the Falcons, sparking “MVP” chants from the Patriots faithful that traveled for the game. The 380 yards through the air marked the first game this season with more than 300 passing yards for Maye as the Patriots clinched a playoff berth with the win. Maye made several spectacular throws, the most impressive of which was a 37-yard dime down the sideline to beat double coverage for a touchdown to rookie Kyle Williams. Maye and the Patriots get a full week of rest before traveling to face the reeling Jets in Week 17.

Meyers had a somewhat quiet game after five straight fantasy-viable outings as the Jaguars’ No. 1 receiver. He again served as Trevor Lawrence’s main intermediate target while Parker Washington dominated air yards and led the Jags with 145 yards and a touchdown. Meyers’ eight targets were second to Washington’s 10 targets; Brian Thomas Jr. had just two looks on the day. Meyers, who had been targeted on 25 percent of his routes going into Week 16, should be a playable WR2/3 option in Week 17 against the Colts thanks in part to the pass-first nature of the Jacksonville offense.

Henderson had his head hit the turf hard on a routine tackle in the second quarter and was evaluated for a concussion. The team initially failed to provide an update after the half but the rookie back was ruled out half way through the third quarter. Henderson managed three yards on five carries and nine yards on one reception prior to departing. Rhamondre Stevenson figures to factor heavily into the second half game plan in a tight game.

It was easily a career mark for Washington, who had five catches in just one game since the start of November before Sunday’s explosion against an elite Denver defense. Washington’s biggest play of the day came on an impressive 63-yard catch and run that gave Jacksonville one of their six red zone possessions on the day. Washington, getting open time and again and showing chemistry with Trevor Lawrence, dominated with a team-leading 147 air yards. He ran a route on 32 of the Jaguars’ 47 drop backs. Washington will be a usable flex option in Week 17 against the Colts.

Nix’s yardage total was impressive, but much of it came with the Broncos trailing and picking their way down the field in a hugely pass-heavy game script (47 passes to 12 running back rushing attempts) against the pass-funnel Jaguars. Nix connected with Courtland Sutton for a first half touchdown and nearly hit Sutton for another score in the red zone. Nix targeted RJ Harvey five times for 71 yards and hit Troy Franklin for a long gain. Nix, with just one multi-touchdown game over his past six games, will be a usable 12-team league option next week against the Chiefs. He had 295 scoreless yards the last time he faced KC.

Jackson was escorted to the locker room with the team training staff with under one minute remaining to play in the second quarter. He appeared to have his back checked out on the sideline before departing the field of play. The team immediately deemed him questionable to return. Tyler Huntley would be the next man up for the remainder of the game should Jackson be unable to return. Jackson completed 7-of-10 passes for 101 yards prior departing, adding seven yards on two carries.

Thomas was an afterthought in this one, as Parker Washington led the Jaguars in targets, receiving yards, and air yards. Thomas, again showing no chemistry with Trevor Lawrence, was targeted on six percent of his pass routes, losing the air yards-heavy role he had seen over the previous three games. He still has just two touchdowns in 2025. Thomas will be a touchdown or big play-dependent WR3/4 play in Week 17 against the Colts.

Engram didn’t do much against his former team. He ran a pass route on 27 of the Broncos’ 51 drop backs and outside of a 33-yard reception in the first quarter, he was largely invisible in a game that saw Bo Nix throw 47 passes. Engram, who has more than four receptions in just three games this season, will be a deep league option in Week 17 against the Chiefs.

Harvey got there for fantasy managers against an elite Denver defense. He accounted for seven of the team’s 12 running back rushing attempts and was tied for third on the team with five targets. Harvey logged a pass route on 26 of Bo Nix’s 51 drop backs, a relatively strong rate, especially considering Harvey was targeted on a healthy 23 percent of his routes. Harvey’s biggest play came on a 38-yard touchdown rush in which he shed a couple tacklers and sprinted past Jacksonville’s defenders. Harvey’s workload is strong enough to make him a must-play RB2 option in Week 17 against the Chiefs.
