Charles Sims caught a 19-yard pass in Sunday’s loss to the Panthers.

He also rushed once for no gain. Sims isn’t a fantasy option in the regular-season finale when the 4-11 Bucs take on the Saints.

Doug Martin contained on limited touches.

After being inactive last week, Martin rushed just six times for seven yards behind Peyton Barber on Sunday. As we said last week when he was a healthy scratch, Martin doesn’t need to be owned. He’ll finish off a forgettable season next week against New Orleans.

Peyton Barber handles 15 touches in Week 16 start.

Barber rushed 13 times for 51 yards and caught two passes for four yards. Doug Martin was active this week, but Barber operated as the starter and lead back. His 34-yard run was basically the only production on the ground for Tampa Bay on Sunday, but they will look to be better in the season finale against the Saints. Barber won’t be much more than a decent FLEX in that matchup.

Jameis Winston was 21/27 for 367 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions in Sunday’s loss to the Panthers.

He also fumbled three times, losing all three of them. Winston and the Bucs had Carolina on the ropes, but they lost 22-19 on a late touchdown run by Cam Newton. Tampa Bay’s starter had trouble keeping his emotions in check at the end of the game towards the officials, but he quickly apologized once the game was officially over. Still, immaturity issues the continued turnovers are a real concern for Jameis, and it dates back to his time at Florida State. He’ll look to finish strong next week against the Saints, but Winston won’t be a recommended fantasy option.

Evan Engram (ribs) is out for the rest of today’s game against the Cardinals.

The rookie tight end was hurt on a Giants interception, and it’s bad enough that he’s been ruled out for the game. It’s possible Engram is dealing with broken ribs, but hopefully it’s not any worse than that. Engram had one reception for 12 yards before leaving, and we’ll see if he’s able to get back for the season finale in Week 17.

DeMarco Murray leaves game late against the Rams.

Murray just took a shot to the lower leg area and had to be helped off the field by trainers. The Titans are down four and trying to drive down the field for a go-ahead touchdowns with under two minutes remaining, so this is a big loss not only on this drive but potentially for the rest of the season. Murray is a really tough player, so him walking off the field and to the locker room could still mean it’s a serious injury—he was limping quite a bit on his way to the locker room. We’ll update you as more information becomes available.

UPDATE: Samaje Perine (Achilles) has returned against the Broncos.

It’s great to see the injury isn’t serious, and the rookie is in there to finish off what should be a win for the Redskins.
