"Heath did not suit up Week 16 versus the Cardinals due to a personal matter, though he had been a healthy scratch for Atlanta's prior two contests. He'll be fully available for Monday's home game against the Rams in the event the coaching staff decides Heath is ready for his Falcons debut after having been claimed by the team off waivers Dec. 8."

"Samuel played a season-high 52 percent of offensive snaps during Buffalo's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers in Week 11, securing two of three targets for 19 yards, but he appears to have picked up a pair of injuries in the process. He'll have two more chances to get back on the practice field as the Bills prepare for a road matchup against the Texans on Thursday Night Football. Samuel's increased opportunities versus Tampa Bay came with Keon Coleman being made a health scratch and Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) inactive. Those factors remain in flux for Week 12, but at the least it seems likely that Coleman will return to the lineup versus Houston."

"Mostert's improbable career rolls on, as the 33-year-old signed with the Raiders during free agency. Undrafted back in 2015, Mostert was severely limited by injuries throughout most of his career, totaling 320 touches prior to reaching 200 in back-to-back seasons in Miami (2022-23). Mostert's career year came in 2023 when he scored a league-high 21 touchdowns, but he predictably crashed back to earth with two scores on 104 touches last season. Mostert cleared 12 touches and 11.8 fantasy points only once last season and heads to Las Vegas as a clear backup to rookie Ashton Jeanty. He's barely worth late-round consideration in deep leagues."


"Mostert was listed as a DNP for the first two practices of Week 17 prep due to ankle and knee injuries, but the veteran running back was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday to earn the questionable tag for Sunday's home game. If Mostert is unable to play, then Tre Tucker and Dylan Laube would be the main returners on kickoffs. Laube and Zamir White would also be in line for more rotational snaps out of the backfield behind Ashton Jeanty."

"With Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle, IR) out for the Week 18 divisional matchup, Tremble assumed more of a receiving role in the Panthers' tight end room. The Notre Dame product finished as Carolina's third-leading receiver and caught Bryce Young's first touchdown pass of the day. Tremble has appeared in all 17 of the Panthers' regular-season games this year, catching 27 of 37 targets for 249 yards and two touchdowns. Carolina now needs Atlanta to beat New Orleans on Sunday to force a three-way tie for the NFC South title. In that scenario, the Panthers would hold the tiebreaker and make the playoffs as the NFC's No. 4 seed."

"A third-round pick in 2023, Downs has emerged as a quality short-range/slot target, but that has yet to allow consistent fantasy output. The Colts' QB play has been an issue, as in seven full games with Anthony Richardson, Downs averaged 5.9 targets and 10.7 fantasy points per game, but in seven outings with Joe Flacco, he averaged 9.4 targets and 15.5 PPG. Downs, same as other Colts receivers, has struggled to produce with Richardson under center and it's no sure bet he'll be better if Daniel Jones wins the job. Downs is a good player, so he's worth late-round consideration, but the team's QB uncertainty will make him tough to plug into your lineup."


"Downs was able to secure multiple passes for the seventh straight game, while his 61 receiving yards were his second-highest total over that stretch. The wide receiver has now completed his third campaign in Indianapolis having caught 58 of 88 targets for 566 yards and four touchdowns while adding one carry for three yards and 68 yards on punt returns over 16 regular-season contests. Downs will enter the offseason on the final year of his rookie contract."
