Offense
Calvin Anderson – OL, Steelers
Anderson and the Steelers were on bye in Week 9.
Luke McCaffrey – WR, Commanders
As has been the case all season, McCaffrey played at least a third of the Commandres’ snaps on offense. This time, though, he was not targeted in the passing game and did not record a reception. That’s just the third time as a pro he’s gone without a catch.
Kylen Granson – TE, Colts
Granson caught one pass for 22 yards against the Vikings on Sunday. It was his second-longest reception of the season, trailing only a 40-yard catch in Week 3 against the Bears.
Austin Trammell – WR, Jaguars
Elevated to the gameday roster for the first time this season, Trammell wasted no time getting involved. He caught two passes for 40 yards and returned a pair of punts. His most impactful play came in the final moments when he hauled in a pass from Trevor Lawrence that put the Jags in the redzone.
