Colts | Philip Rivers turns back the clock on MNF Tue Dec 23, 12:59 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Philip Rivers completed 23 of 35 passes for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16. With the game out of hand late, Rivers was replaced by QB Riley Leonard on the final drive.
| Footballguys view: After Rivers played it close to the vest against Seattle in Week 14 -- in his first game in five years -- he opened things up in a significant way Monday night, pushing the ball farther downfield after averaging just 4.4 yards per attempt in his previous game. Unfortunately, the Colts' defense had its most miserable performance of the season. After starting 2025 at 8-2 and in the conversation among title contenders, Indianapolis has now lost five straight and seems destined to miss the playoffs again. We'll see if Rivers remains in the lineup against the Jaguars in Week 17. |

49ers | Brock Purdy throws five TD passes Tue Dec 23, 12:02 AM
San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy completed 25 of 34 passes for 295 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception versus the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. Purdy also ran the ball twice for 11 yards in the win.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner suggested, "Monday Night Football" hadn't been kind to Purdy, as he had thrown five touchdowns and 11 interceptions in his five appearances entering this game. But Purdy shrugged those woes off against a depleted Colts secondary, posting his first career five-touchdown game. He's the first Niners quarterback to throw for five scores on MNF and the team's first signal-caller to throw for five or more touchdowns in a regular-season or playoff game since Steve Young in Super Bowl XXIX against the Chargers. The Niners play the Bears on Sunday night in Week 17. |

Vikings | Monday practice report for Vikings Mon Dec 22, 06:12 PM
Minnesota Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (shoulder), C Ryan Kelly (concussion), RB Jordan Mason (ankle), QB J.J. McCarthy (hand) and OT Brian O'Neill (heel) did not participate in practice Monday, Dec. 22. RB Aaron Jones (ankle), DT Javon Hargrave (thigh) and LB Eric Wilson (thumb) were limited during practice. TE Gavin Bartholomew (back), RB Ty Chandler (knee) and LB Austin Keys (ankle) fully participated in practice. The Vikings did not hold a practice Monday, so the report is an estimation.

Bills | Josh Allen day-to-day Mon Dec 22, 04:28 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) is considered day-to-day because of the foot injury he suffered in Week 16, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Allen could miss some practice time this week, but McDermott expects Allen to be available for Week 17.
| Footballguys view: Allen took a 23-yard sack late in the first half of Sunday's game, but injured himself on the play. He told reporters later he tweaked his foot a little bit. He returned for the second half of the game -- after having precautionary X-rays on the foot. Allen said the pain subsided, but he clearly had to battle through the second half. He finished the game, completing just 12 of 19 passes for 130 yards. He failed to produce a TD running or passing. We'll watch for more on this one as Sunday afternoon's tilt with the Eagles draws nearer. |

QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was limited during practice. OG Brandon Coleman (shin), OT George Fant (knee) and TE Colson Yankoff (ankle) fully participated in practice. The Commanders only held a walkthrough Monday, so the report is an estimation.

Chiefs | Shane Buechele officially signed Mon Dec 22, 03:40 PM
Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills practice squad QB Shane Buechele was signed to the Kansas City Chiefs 53-man roster Monday, Dec. 22. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: With Gardner Minshew going on IR, Chris Oladokun is poised to start at quarterback against the Broncos this week on Christmas night, with the newly-signed Buechele likely to serve as his backup. |

Chiefs | Gardner Minshew placed on IR Mon Dec 22, 03:21 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Dec. 27.
| Footballguys view: We learned earlier today that Minshew avoided a torn ACL, but his knee injury was significant enough to cost him the rest of the 2025 season. Minshew played 14 snaps before he had to exit Sunday's loss to the Titans. In four appearances with one start this season, Minshew completed 6-of-13 passes for 37 yards with an interception. As Profootballtalk.com pointed out, Minshew is set to be a free agent in 2026. With his experience, the veteran signal caller is likely to have a market for his services as a backup next year. |

Chiefs | Gardner Minshew avoids torn ACL; QB will still miss time Mon Dec 22, 02:17 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew's (knee) MRI did not show a torn anterior cruciate ligament, but he is still expected to miss time because of the knee injury he suffered in Week 16, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: To that end, multiple reports note the Chiefs are signing quarterback Shane Buechele to the 53-man roster off the Bills' practice squad. Hosting the Broncos on Thursday night to cap the Christmas Day slate, the Chiefs are set to release their first injury report of the week later on Monday. Given Minshew's injury, Chris Oladokun is likely to start for Kansas City this week after playing the majority of Sunday's game. |

Panthers | Bryce Young expected to be fine Mon Dec 22, 01:33 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) should be a full participant during practice this upcoming week despite injuring his ankle during the Week 16 game, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: While his stats on Sunday don't leap off the page, Young generated 191 yards on 21-of-32 passing with two touchdowns, the QB made clutch plays late. He now has 12 career game-winning drives. Only Justin Herbert (13) has more before turning 25 (since 1950). Only Dak Prescott (14), Matt Ryan (13), and Herbert had more in their first three seasons. Carolina plays Seattle in Week 17. The Seahawks will be a much greater challenge than the Buccaneers. We'll monitor Young's health in coming days. |

Commanders | Marcus Mariota not ruled out for Week 17 Mon Dec 22, 12:57 PM
Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (hand, quadriceps) hasn't been ruled out for the Week 17 game Thursday, Dec. 25.
| Footballguys view: Mariota has stitches in his throwing hand, while also dealing with a quad injury, so his status on a short week was very doubtful. And while Quinn might not be ready to rule him out yet, the coach said that backup Josh Johnson will be getting the majority of starts in practice as they prepare to play the Cowboys on Thursday. |

Commanders | Jeff Driskel picked up by Commanders Mon Dec 22, 12:02 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jeff Driskel was signed off the practice squad by the Washington Commanders Monday, Dec. 22.
| Footballguys view: On Saturday, Marcus Mariota, filling in for Jayden Daniels, was forced out early against the Eagles. Mariota is considered day-to-day, head coach Dan Quinn said Sunday, adding that Mariota is nursing a quadriceps injury, in addition to a hand ailment. The Commanders play on Christmas Day against the Cowboys, so we should consider Mariota questionable at best. That leaves the team with Josh Johnson as the only healthy body at the position. Driskel will add to that. |

Vikings | J.J. McCarthy to have MRI Mon Dec 22, 11:05 AM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (hand) will have an MRI on his right hand Monday, Dec. 22. X-rays were negative.
| Footballguys view: While the results of the X-rays were good, Minneapolis Star Tribune staffer Ben Goessling reports that further tests will be used to determine whether the quarterback suffered any ligament damage. Coach Kevin O'Connell said after the game he was unsure if McCarthy was able to grip the ball on the strip sack that ended his day. The Vikings play on Thursday this week, so the short turnaround will be a factor here. Max Brosmer is standing by. |
Packers | Malik Willis nicked up Mon Dec 22, 10:57 AM
Green Bay Packers QB Malik Willis (shoulder) suffered a right shoulder injury from a fall in Week 17. Willis was able to finish the game.
| Footballguys view: Jordan Love left Saturday night's game against the Bears in the first half with a concussion, and Willis played the rest of the way in the overtime loss despite landing hard on the shoulder late in the game. "He's going to be another guy that we'll see where he's at as we progress," coach Matt LaFleur said. "That further complicates the other problem." The Packers do not have another quarterback on their 53-man roster, but they do have former Cardinal Clayton Tune on the practice squad. The Packers play the Ravens on Saturday. We'll be watching this one closely. |
Packers | Jordan Love in concussion protocol Mon Dec 22, 10:53 AM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (concussion) is in concussion protocol following Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Love left Chicago in the protocol because he had taken a helmet-to-helmet hit in the second quarter Saturday. Love must pass through the five-step protocol that requires increasing activity, followed by baseline testing, with each step along the way. He must remain asymptomatic throughout. We'll be watching for more on this, and on his backup, Malik Willis, who is dealing with a minor shoulder issue. The Packers play the Ravens on Saturday. |

Ravens | Tyler Huntley efficient in relief Mon Dec 22, 01:32 AM
Baltimore Ravens QB Tyler Huntley completed nine of his 10 pass attempts for 65 yards without a touchdown or interception during the team's Week 16 loss to the New England Patriots. Huntley, who came on late in the first half for an injured Lamar Jackson (back), also ran twice for two yards.

Patriots | Drake Maye throws for 380 in win Mon Dec 22, 12:03 AM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 31 of his 44 passes for a career-high 380 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a Week 16 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Maye also ran the ball 10 times for 25 yards.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Mike Reiss noted, the Patriots were one-dimensional on offense, favoring the pass, and Maye recorded his first career 300-yard passing game despite facing heavy pressure. But Maye had two turnovers -- an interception that ended the team's first drive, when WR Kayshon Boutte wasn't competitive at the top of the route, and a lost fumble that cost the team a chance at a field goal before halftime. Still, Maye did nothing to tarnish his standing as a front-line fantasy starter, as he sat at QB6 overall through Sunday night's games. The Patriots play the Jets on Sunday. |
Steelers | Aaron Rodgers posts 266 yards, touchdown Sun Dec 21, 11:38 PM

Updating a previous report, Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back) will not return to the Week 16 game against the New England Patriots due to a back injury suffered in the first half. He finished 7-of-10 for 101 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions, and he ran twice for seven yards.

Jaguars | Trevor Lawrence delivers another gem Sun Dec 21, 09:30 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 23 of his 36 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns and rushed six times for 20 yards and a score in a 34-20 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Lawrence now has 18 touchdowns (16 passing, two rushing) during the Jaguars' six-game winning streak, including 10 in the past two games. He has 26 passing touchdowns this season, making him the only player in franchise history to throw 25 or more touchdowns twice. For our purposes, he's been QB1 overall since Week 10. With games against the Colts and Titans remaining, Lawrence could easily continue adding to that total. His success against one of the league's top defenses will have us starting him with total confidence at Indianapolis in Week 17. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield throw for 145 yards, TD Sun Dec 21, 07:07 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield completed 18-of-26 passes for 145 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. He ran four times for 49 yards, too.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers defense was in Mayfield's face all day and rarely let him get clean looks or time to throw downfield. He wasn't a good play this week but will be a great play against Miami next week for teams that don't have a clearcut QB1. The Bucs can still make the playoffs with wins over the Dolphins and Panthers in the last two games. |

Saints | Tyler Shough throws for over 300 yards Sun Dec 21, 06:45 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough went 32-for-49 for 308 yards and one touchdown against the New York Jets in Week 16. He also rushed for eight yards in two carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Shough has settled in as a low-end QB1 in the second half of the season. He'll be a consideration in fantasy championship lineups with a good matchup against the Titans in Week 17. |
Titans | Cam Ward tosses two touchdowns Sun Dec 21, 06:12 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward completed 21-of-28 passes for 228 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he ran four times for nine yards.
| Footballguys view: Ward was a very good QB2/Superflex play against a Chiefs team that seems to be packing up early for the offseason vacation. He'll have a tougher matchup next week against the resurgent Saints defense, but with so many quarterbacks getting hurt, he's a solid QB2/Superflex play again next week. |
Jets | Brady Cook finishes with 188 yards Sun Dec 21, 05:47 PM
New York Jets QB Brady Cook went 22-for-35 for 188 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. He also rushed for two yards on one carry during the game but did lose a fumble.
| Footballguys view: Cook has been able to complete 22 passes in both of his first two NFL starts, but he isn't threatening downfield and he wasn't adding any value as a scrambler against an underrated Saints defense. The Patriots D/ST will be a good Week 17 play against the Jets rookie UDFA quarterback and no one in the Jets offense is worth plugging into fantasy lineups. |
Chargers | Justin Herbert throws for 300 yards and two scores Sun Dec 21, 05:34 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert was 23 of 29 -- a season-high 79 percent -- for 300 yards and two touchdowns and added a running score and 42 yards on eight carries in a Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys hapless defense couldn't stop the Chargers in the first half, allowing three scores. While it did come against one of the worst defenses in the league, Herbert looked like a gunslinger for the first time in a game this season that he did not have his starting left tackle Joe Alt. He'll have a much tougher matchup next week against the Texans in a matchup of likely wild card teams that have the potential to run the table in the playoffs. |

Chiefs | Chris Oladokun finishes up Week 16 Sun Dec 21, 05:23 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Chris Oladokun completed 11-of-16 passes for 111 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans, coming on for the injured QB Gardner Minshew II (knee).
| Footballguys view: Oladokun had never thrown a pass in a regular season game coming into Week 16, but now he will likely start on Christmas night against the Broncos as the Chiefs play out the string. Gardner Minshew went down with a torn ACL, so Oladokun will have a chance to audition to come back as Patrick Mahomes backup when Mahomes may not be ready for Week 1 after suffering a torn ACL in Week 15. |

Browns | Shedeur Sanders throws for 157 yards, TD Sun Dec 21, 04:53 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders completed 20-of-29 passes for 157 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, and he rushed four times for a team-high 49 yards. He also left the game briefly due to a bloodied pinkie finger on his hand, but he was able to return and finish up.
| Footballguys view: Sanders, who was sidelined briefly with a cut on his right pinky finger, was surprisingly spry as a scrambler and he was an efficient passer. One of his interceptions was off of a Quinshon Judkins drop and another was deflected at the line, so he wasn't as bad as his TD-INT ratio indicates. Sanders has done enough to deserve a chance to start for the Browns in Week 1 next season, but the team will be drafting early in the first round, so their quarterback decision in the offseason will be heavily analyzed. Sanders will have a tough matchup against the Steelers next week and is only a desperation play in 2QB/Superflex leagues. |
Dolphins | Quinn Ewers finishes with two INTs Sun Dec 21, 04:47 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers went 20-for-30 for 260 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He also rushed for five yards on two carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: One of the interceptions was tipped by a defender and the other was a 50-50 ball for Jaylen Waddle. The Dolphins did score three touchdowns on offense, but all came on running plays. Ewers was better than some of the other unlikely Week 16 starting quarterbacks and will be a live desperation QB2/Superflex play against the Bucs in Week 17. |
Cowboys | Dak Prescott throws two touchdown passes Sun Dec 21, 04:36 PM
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 21-of-30 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-17 loss in Week 16 to the Los Angeles Chargers. He added 14 yards on two carries.
| Footballguys view: Both touchdowns came in the first half, and Prescott also threw a touchdown to Ryan Flournoy that was wiped off of the board by a holding penalty. The Cowboys offense fell apart in the second half, but Prescott still did enough to be a solid QB1 start against one of the hottest defenses in the league. He'll be a high ceiling QB1 on Christmas against the porous Washington defense. |

Bills | Josh Allen does very little in Cleveland Sun Dec 21, 04:06 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen completed 12-of-19 passes for 130 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns, while running seven times for just 17 yards.
| Footballguys view: All three Bills offensive touchdowns came via the ground by running backs in a bad break for Allen fantasy teams. Allen was one of the most valuable players in fantasy football all season, but this game likely eliminated a lot of teams that relied on him. Dawson Knox dropped a fourth down sure touchdown late in the game and Allen did get banged up enough on a first half sack to have his foot X-rayed at halftime. |

Chiefs | Gardner Minshew likely suffers ACL Sun Dec 21, 03:52 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew (knee) suffered what is likely a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the Week 16 game against the Tennessee Titans, sources said Sunday, Dec. 21. He will have an MRI to confirm.
| Footballguys view: Sunday's game was Minshew's first start of the season. It came after Patrick Mahomes suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee during last week's loss to the Chargers, which eliminated the Chiefs from playoff contention. Chris Oladokun, the Chiefs' third-string quarterback, will take over as the starter for Thursday night's Week 17 game against the Broncos. |

Commanders | Marcus Mariota listed as day to day Sun Dec 21, 03:35 PM
Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (quadriceps, hand) is considered day-to-day, head coach Dan Quinn said Sunday, Dec. 21. Quinn said Mariota is nursing a quadriceps injury, in addition to a hand ailment.
| Footballguys view: The Commanders play on Christmas day against the Cowboys, so we should consider Mariota questionable at best. Even with the very attractive Cowboys matchup, Mariota isn't an automatic play in 2QB/Superflex if active because of these injuries. Josh Johnson would start if Mariota can't go and be on the upside desperation play list for 2QB/Superflex leagues. |
Marcus Mariota player page
Bengals | Great day ends early for Joe Burrow Sun Dec 21, 03:32 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 25-of-32 passes for 309 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Miami Dolphins, while running for six yards. He was pulled early in the fourth quarter with the Bengals well ahead, giving QB Joe Flacco a chance to mop up.
| Footballguys view: Anyone who played Burrow last week and lost because he was shut out by the Ravens will get no solace from this result. The Bengals offense did not let up even though their season is over, so Burrow is a very strong Week 17 play against Arizona. The Tampa offense will have a get right game against the Dolphins next week. |
