Brashard Smith
RB KC (10)
Smith caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Smith failed to record a single carry in the contest while the Chiefs' offense attempted just 15 rushes against the Titans. The rookie played just eight of Kansas City's 45 offensive snaps Sunday, failing to play double-digit snaps for the tenth time this season. With such limited usage, Smith remains far off the fantasy radar as the Chiefs get set to host the Broncos in Week 17.

JuJu Smith-Schuster
WR KC (10)
Smith-Schuster caught one of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
With fellow wide receiver Rashee Rice (concussion) sidelined, Smith-Schuster played 41 of the Chiefs' 45 offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap share of the season. Despite his increased playing time, the veteran wideout was unable to have much of an impact against the Titans while the Kansas City offense struggled without Patrick Mahomes (knee) at the helm. Smith-Schuster's four targets were his most since Week 4, but the 29-year-old remains difficult to trust as the season winds down in what should be an underwhelming aerial attack with Chris Oladokun at quarterback with both Mahomes and Gardner Minshew (knee) on injured reserve. Next up for the Chiefs is a Week 17 matchup against the Broncos.

Matt Milano
LB BUF (7)
Milano finished Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Browns with nine tackles (four solo).
EDGE Analysis
Milano finished second on Buffalo with his nine stops. One of his tackles went for a loss, and Milano also notched two QB hits. The veteran linebacker has his two highest tackle totals of the campaign over the past two weeks -- he recorded 10 stops against New England in Week 15.

Greg Rousseau
EDR/DE BUF (7)
Rousseau recorded three tackles, including 2.5 sacks, in Sunday's 23-20 Week 16 victory against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Rousseau had a hand in all three of Buffalo's sacks in the game, notching two solo sacks and splitting another with Jordan Poyer. Rousseau now has 3.5 sacks over his past two games after tallying 3.0 across his first 13 contests of the campaign. His career high for sacks in a regular season is 8.0, which he's accomplished twice in his five-year NFL career.

Brown tallied nine tackles (five solo) and forced a fumble Sunday in a 48-27 win against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Brown tied for the 49ers' lead in tackles, with three of his stops coming on special teams. He also forced a fumble that was recovered the San Francisco as part of that unit, setting up his team's second touchdown of the game. Brown's nine total stops were his second-most in a game this season, topped only by the 10 tackles he recorded in Week 10 against the Rams.
Malik Mustapha S SF (14) Tue 12/23/25 11:18 PM
Malik Mustapha
S SF (14)
Mustapha tallied eight tackles (three solo) in Monday's 48-27 victory against Indianapolis.
EDGE Analysis
Mustapha's tackle total was third-highest on San Francisco. The second-year safety has been a steady IDP asset of late, posting at least seven stops in each of his past four games.
Dee Winters LB SF (14) Tue 12/23/25 11:15 PM
Dee Winters
LB SF (14)
Winters logged three tackles (one solo) and two defensed passes, including an interception that he returned for a touchdown, in Monday's 48-27 victory versus the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Winters had a pretty quiet day from a tackling perspective, finishing with his lowest total since Week 12. However, he made perhaps the biggest defensive play of the game when he intercepted a Phillip Rivers pass with less than four minutes remaining and returned it 74 yards for a touchdown to extinguish any hope of an Indianapolis comeback. That was Winters' first interception and first touchdown in his three seasons as a pro.
Demario Davis LB NO (11) Tue 12/23/25 11:11 PM
Demario Davis
LB NO (11)
Davis finished with eight tackles (two solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a 29-6 victory against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Davis ended as the Saints' second-leading tackler in the rout. Though he hasn't reached double-digit stops in four straight games, he's posted at least seven tackles in three of those contests. Davis is at 131 tackles through 15 contests, putting him well within reach of the career-high 136 he posted last season.
Justin Reid S NO (11) Tue 12/23/25 11:05 PM
Justin Reid
S NO (11)
Reid registered nine tackles (three solo) and a defensed pass in a 29-6 Week 16 win over the Jets on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Reid's nine tackles led New Orleans. That total was also his highest mark since he notched 13 stops versus the Rams in Week 9. Reid logged a 97 percent defensive snap share Sunday in his return from a two-game absence due to a knee injury.
Alontae Taylor CB NO (11) Tue 12/23/25 11:01 PM
Alontae Taylor
CB NO (11)
Taylor recorded seven tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in a 29-6 win against the Jets on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor's third-quarter sack of rookie QB Brady Cook helped force a Jets punt. It was the second sack of the campaign for Taylor, with his first coming Week 1 against Arizona. Taylor has remained a steady presence in the Saints' secondary and has 70 tackles (including the pair of sacks) and seven defensed passes, including two interceptions, through 15 games this season.
