Offense
Calvin Anderson – OL, Steelers
Anderson saw his first offensive snaps with the Steelers this week after joining the team a few weeks ago. He got into the game for nine plays with the offense.
Luke McCaffrey – WR, Commanders
McCaffrey caught the only ball thrown his way on Sunday, coming yards shy of his first NFL touchdown. He’s caught all 11 passes thrown his way in his NFL career so far.
Nick Leverett – OL, Patriots
Leverett was released by the Patriots on Monday following their game against the Texans.
Kylen Granson – TE, Colts
Granson wasn’t targeted once in the passing game against the Titans but did not record a reception.
Defense
Myles Adams – DL, Seahawks
Adams was inactive for the Seahawks Thursday Night Football game against the 49ers. He’s been active for three of the Seahawks’ six games so far this season.
Special Teams
Jack Fox – P, Lions
Fox did not punt once last week or this week. Last week the Lions were on bye. This week they scored on nearly every offensive possession, turning the ball over on downs once and twice possessing the ball til the end of the half. That meant Fox was able to watch from the sideline.
Chris Boswell – K, Steelers
Boswell was called upon six times on Sunday, knocking through a pair of extra points and all four of his field goal tries. He’s made 16-of-17 field goals this season.
