Seth Roberts catches two passes against the Broncos.

Roberts gained 14 yards on his two receptions in the Raiders’ Christmas Eve victory. Roberts is a better real-life contributor than fantasy asset heading into the season finale.

Kenyan Drake handles 16 touches in loss to the Bills.

Drake rushed 11 times for 43 yards, also adding a team-high five receptions and 52 yards. Overall, the Alabama product was able to get over 1,000 yards from scrimmage for the first time in his career, rushing 120 times for 535 yards (4.5 YPC) and four touchdowns while chipping in a 53/477/5 line as a receiver. Still, he wasn’t given as many touches as fantasy owners would have liked, and it will be interesting to see what happens in Miami this offseason. Drake, who turns 25 next month, should be an upside pick in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts next summer.

Case Keenum, Broncos fall to 6-9 with Christmas Eve loss to the Raiders.

Keenum was 23/37 for 202 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, also adding three carries for 19 yards. The touchdowns came to DaeSean Hamilton (seven yards) and Courtland Sutton (19 yards) on back-to-back possessions, but Keenum followed it up with two picks in a row to end the comeback attempt in a 27-14 defeat. The 30-year-old will carry a 17:14 touchdown-interception ratio into the season finale against the Chargers. He’s not a strong QB2 option.

Marquise Goodwin (calf) has been ruled out for Week 17.

Goodwin’s injury-plagued season ends with 23 receptions for 395 yards and four touchdowns in 11 games. The explosive track-speed receiver made some big plays throughout the year, but his fantasy value took a big hit when quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 3, as the two showed an excellent connection last year. Goodwin signed a nice extension that keeps him with the Niners for three more seasons, and he should remain a key part of Kyle Shanahan’s offense moving forward. He’ll have some upside with Jimmy G back at quarterback in 2019, but Dante Pettis (or another receiver the Niners might acquire in the offseason) might emerge as the No. 1 threat at wide receiver along with elite tight end George Kittle.

Odell Beckham Jr. (quad) officially did not practice today.

Beckham probably isn’t going to play in the season finale, and there’s probably a good chance he’s ruled out for Week 17 tomorrow.

The Bears have waived quarterback Tyler Bray.

Bray is being waived as a corresponding move with the team activated guard Kyle Long off injured reserve, as Chicago doesn’t want to carry three quarterbacks with Mitchell Trubisky fully healthy now.

Derek Carr extends interception-less streak in Raiders’ Christmas Eve win.

Carr was 19/26 for 167 yards in the Week 16 win over the Broncos in the Raiders’ likely-last game ever in Oakland. The Raiders had a very strong defensive effort, holding the Broncos to 14 points, so Carr wasn’t asked to do much; but he again did a good job of taking care of the ball, extending his interception-less streak to ten games. Carr hasn’t thrown an interception in 325 pass attempts, and he’ll look to continue playing well to conclude the regular season next week against the Chiefs, a team he had 285 yards and three touchdowns against a few weeks ago.
