Seahawks kicker Jason Myers made six field goals, including the 56-yard game-winner with 18 seconds remaining, in Sunday’s 18-16 win over the Colts. And he’s now on pace to kick more field goals in a season than any kicker, ever.

The all-time record for field goals in a season is 44, set by David Akers of the 49ers in 2011. Myers had made 37 field goals so far this season, putting him on pace to finish the season with 45.

Overall, Myers is 37-for-42 on field goals this season, a success rate of 88.1 percent, with a long field goal of 57 yards. He’s also 42-for-42 on extra points, the story said. The story also talked about how the Seahawks would rather be scoring touchdowns, but if Myers is your fantasy kicker, he's likely been helping you win games.

On Monday evening, NFL insider Ian Rapoport provided a somewhat positive update, stating that Davante Adams was considered week-to-week. That likely means Adams will miss the Rams' Week 16 game with the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, but Adams could be available for the regular season stretch run, as well as the playoffs for the NFC leaders.

Adams, who had been playing through a mild hamstring issue, appeared to worsen the injury on a deep route with 12:42 remaining in the game. Adams pulled up near the end of his route and crashed to the ground, lying on his stomach helmet down knowing the injury was significant, the story said. The short week won't help Adams and his fantasy owners for Week 16 it looks like, and it's a key game in the NFC West as well. Nacua should continue to get plenty of targets in this contest, and the Rams may look to their TEs to pick up some targets as well. Higbee had a catch for 23 yards, but Parkinson went off for a 5-75-2 line on seven targets.

Morris on Kyle Pitts: He was there as the No. 1 wideout, so to speak. He got the targets Drake London would normally get.

Pitts put up the numbers, too, as we all know by now. We reported on Monday the Falcons are hopeful London plays in Week 16, but now out of the playoffs, the team doesn't have to rush London back on the field. It will be worth monitoring injury reports for both London and Pitts owners, as the Falcons take on a Cardinals defense that gave up 40 points to the Texans in Week 15.

The Pittsburgh Steelers side-stepped a major loss with a key piece of their offense for their Week 15 primetime matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Running back Jaylen Warren (illness) will be active, meaning he won't miss his second game of the season.

Warren popped up on the injury report earlier today with an illness, which was kind of late in the game. Warren was taking fluids and is good to go tonight. He'll come with a bit of a risk depending on what he's dealing with, but Gainwell will likely have his usual workload regardless.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said "there is a concern" with WR Ricky Pearsall's injury status.

The post went on to say Shanahan said it, "shouldn't rule him out for this week." The knee combined with the ankle makes it tough, according to the rest of the post. While it sounds like Pearsall could still play in Week 16, it's a bit of a different toon from earlier today when there didn't seem to be a concern. For what it's worth, Pearsall's injury was compared to QB Mac Jones dealing with a similar knee issue. Shanahan added, "It's real painful for awhile but it can go away. Not at all like it was when he first did it but it does take time for that pain to go away. Hopefully sooner than later."

The Bengals have no path to the playoffs, but that isn’t changing their plan at the quarterback position.

Head coach Zac Taylor said at a Monday press conference that he expects Joe Burrow to remain the team’s starter for the final three games on their schedule.

Taylor said the team simply just wants to win their remaining games. Burrow missed nine games this season with a toe injury. Burrow and the Bengals were shutout against the Ravens this past week however.

Bears coach Ben Johnson says Luther Burden's ankle is a 'day-by-day' situation.

As far as Rome Odunze, 'there may be a case we have to protect him from himself' so he can be a factor later on, per Ben Johnson.

Briggs added Burden's availability for Saturday night will remain a question until later in the week. Also a big question is Odunze, who is dealing with a foot injury. Moore was able to take some advantage of the situation and produced a 4-69-2 line against the Browns. Loveland was also a factor in the passing game, going 4-63-0. D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai totaled 29 rushes in the game last week. The Bears get the Packers in a Saturday night game in Week 16, however.

K Matt Prater (quad) will also be out this week.

The Bills will need to work out kickers this week heading into Week 16's game. For those who may be in need of a kicker, you can keep an eye out for who they sign as they should have some fantasy value.

Jayden Daniels will not play again in 2025.

Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the Commanders are shutting down Daniels as he continues to recover from aggravating his dislocated left elbow.

Rapoport notes that Daniels was re-evaluated on Monday and was not medically cleared. With the quarterback expected to be medically ruled out for Saturday’s game against Philadelphia and then a quick turnaround for a Christmas Day game against the Cowboys on a Thursday, the Commanders made the final decision to end Daniels’ second season on Monday, the story went on to say. The move makes sense with nothing to play for this season. It was a disappointing, injury-filled season for the sophomore QB who had such an impressive rookie season.

Backup quarterback Gardner Minshew, a five-year veteran, is expected to be the team's starter for the final three games of the regular season.

That stretch will serve as an audition for Minshew to remain with the Chiefs for next season, the story would add. "I've got a ton of confidence in Gardner," Reid said in the story. "I've watched him play with other teams, he's started in the league, and our guys have confidence in him."
