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.

Defense

Myles Adams – DL, Seahawks

Adams was inactive for the Seahawks Week 9 game against the Bills. He’s been active for three of the Seahawks’ nine games so far this year.

Special Teams

Jack Fox – P, Lions

Fox turned in another impressive performance in the Lions’ win over the Packers in Week 9, averaging 50 yards per punt on four kicks including a long ball that went 60 yards.

Chris Boswell – K, Steelers

Boswell and the Steelers were on bye in Week 9. Boswell has made 23-of-24 field goals this season.
