Gray did not practice all week and, as the designation suggests, is almost certainly not going to play against the Rams. The third-round rookie has yet to play more than seven snaps in a game this season. He is only worth a roster spot in Dynasty leagues.

Nix and the Broncos’ offense started out red hot, as they scored touchdowns on their first three drives. He found Devaughn Vele and Michael Burton on short touchdown throws in the first 30 minutes, and looked to be having another outstanding fantasy game. Things did not go nearly as well over the final two quarters, however, and the Broncos scored just three points while picking up just six first downs in the third and fourth quarter. When Nix threw short things went well, but the deep shots remain inconsistent — at best — and in particular a throw to a wide-open Marvin Mims had entirely too much air into it; eliminating what could have been a long scoring play for both. Nix and the Broncos have what is now a massive Week 17 matchup against the Bengals.

The rushing yards were reduced at the end of the game while he was wasting clock at the end of the victory. He also completed a two-point conversation on a spectacular catch by Joshua Palmer. Herbert’s one mistake was a line-drive throw on a ball over the middle that should have had more air underneath it, but outside of that the 26-year-old was strong while finding 10 different receivers in the contest. Herbert’s ankle looked just fine with several solid scrambles, and he now gets to rest until Week 17 against the Patriots

Perryman was making his first appearance for the Chargers in four weeks because of the groin injury. The veteran linebacker will likely sit the rest of the Thursday Night contest and Troy Dye should see the majority of the snaps in the middle for the Los Angeles linebacker corps.

The Chargers have been riddled with injuries to the secondary, and now Maye will be out of action for the foreseeable future during Thursday night’s contest. He’s currently undergoing X-rays, which doesn’t seem to bode well for a return Thursday night.

“I’m going to try and work with them as much as possible to help them attack free agency,” Parsons said. “I want to be back with this team. This offseason, I want to be here. I want to get these guys right. I want to take big steps, so hopefully it can be done sooner than later so we can attack the offseason.” Parsons is one of the most productive defenders in football, and the 2021 first-round pick will likely become one of the highest paid defensive players in the history of the sport whenever he signs a new deal.
