Playoff positioning up for grabs in Wk. 17

A look back at Week 16 for current #NextLevelRams:

LB Shaquil Barrett – Denver Broncos

Linebacker Shaquil Barrett returned from injury to make three tackles in Denver's Christmas Eve loss at Oakland. Barrett had missed the previous three games with a hip injury but returned much sooner than the original projection of 4-6 weeks. For the season he has tallied 3.0 sacks and 27 total tackles.

RB Kapri Bibbs – Green Bay Packers

Kapri Bibbs played in his first game with Green Bay on Sunday and saw action on special teams in the Packers' 44-38 win at the Jets. He had been claimed off waivers by Green Bay the previous Monday, two days after being released by Washington, with whom he had spent just over a year. For the season Bibbs has totaled 101 yards rushing with three touchdowns, and 13 receptions for 102 yards and a score, all with Washington.

RB Dalyn Dawkins – Tennessee Titans

The Titans re-signed Dawkins to their practice squad on Dec. 5 after several weeks on the active roster. It was Dawkins' second stint on the active roster in his rookie season of 2018.

WR Michael Gallup – Dallas Cowboys

One week after not being targeted, Michael Gallup had one of his best games of the season in the Cowboys' 27-20 win against Tampa Bay that clinched the NFC East title. The rookie hauled in three receptions for 53 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown toss from Dak Prescott late in the third quarter to extend the Cowboys' lead to 27-13. For the season Gallup has 30 receptions for 457 yards (15.2) and two touchdowns.

OL Zack Golditch – Arizona Cardinals

Golditch was declared inactive for the third week in a row, for the Cardinals' home game against the Rams. He signed with Arizona Nov. 5 from the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad, and in his third week with the team played in his first career NFL game Nov. 25 at the L.A. Chargers, seeing one snap on offense. He played again the following week at Green Bay (Dec. 2), on special teams.

QB Garrett Grayson – Denver Broncos

Grayson is currently on the Denver Broncos' practice squad after spending training camp and the latter portion of the 2017 season with Atlanta.

WR Rashard Higgins – Cleveland Browns

Higgins posted one of his finest games of the season in Cleveland's 26-18 win over Cincinnati to improve to 7-7-1. The third-year pro caught six passes for 60 yards and a touchdown, using his exceptional athleticism to go airborne and touch the football on the pylon. Through 15 games, Higgins has 35 receptions for 486 yards and four touchdowns.

C Weston Richburg – San Francisco 49ers

Center Weston Richburg started for the 49ers against Chicago in Week 16. Richburg has been a starter in all 14 of the games he has appeared in this season, missing one game due to a knee injury.

OL Ty Sambrailo – Atlanta Falcons

Sambrailo, who has played in every Falcons game this season, made his third consecutive start of the season in Atlanta's 24-10 win at Carolina. Sambrailo has taken over the position from previous starter Ryan Schraeder.

LS Trent Sieg – Oakland Raiders

Sieg appeared in his 14th consecutive game for the Oakland Raiders, handling all long-snapping situations in the Raiders' Christmas Eve Monday Night Football win over visiting Denver.
