Corum carried the ball seven times for a team-high 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.

His TD came on a two-yard plunge right before halftime after Kyren Williams left the game to get his ankle checked out. Williams was back in the lineup to begin the second half and wound up with 72 rushing yards and a score of his own, and after the contest he indicated that he's not concerned about the ankle being a lingering issue. Even so, the Rams had already been increasing Corum's workload in recent weeks, so Williams' ankle might give them an excuse to move the backfield toward more of a 50-50 split in Week 14 against the Cardinals. Corum's 81 rushing yards were a season high, while his trip to the end zone was his first since Week 2.

Shough completed 26 of 38 passes for 239 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 21-17 defeat against the Dolphins. He also logged six rushes for 18 yards and committed a fumble.

Shough aired it out again after logging 43 passing attempts in the Week 12 loss to Atlanta. The rookie QB was under fire in the pocket, taking four sacks, including one where he was stripped of the ball. Shough had an additional interception that didn't count on his official stat sheet, as it occurred on a two-point conversion attempt that was returned for two points the other way by Miami safety Minkah Fitzpatrick in the fourth quarter. Shough also didn't have the support of a consistent rushing attack, with Alvin Kamara out after suffering an MCL sprain last week. Across four starts, he has completed 68.1 percent of his passes for 235 yards per game and a 5:3 TD:INT. New Orleans will next play on the road against the Buccaneers in Week 14.

Thomas recorded two receptions on three targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Titans.

Thomas returned from a three-game absence caused by an ankle injury, but his disappointing season continued. The Jaguars were able to rely relatively heavily on their run game while playing with at least a two-score lead for most of the game, but Thomas still finished tied for third on the team in targets. While he converted receptions of 17 and 11 yards, Thomas has now been held below 50 receiving yards in five of his nine games on the campaign.

Williams (ankle) finished Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers with 13 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch his only target.

The fourth-year back briefly left the game right before halftime to get his ankle checked out, but he was back in the lineup to begin the third quarter and scored a seven-yard TD in the fourth. Per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com, Williams said after the game that he's not worried about the ankle being a further issue, and that scar tissue from a previous injury actually helped protect the joint when he got rolled up on. Despite his confidence, the Rams have been giving Blake Corum a significant share of the workload in recent weeks, and he turned seven carries into a team-high 81 yards and a TD in Sunday's loss. It wouldn't be a surprise if the backfield touches shifted toward a 50-50 split in a Week 14 tilt against the Cardinals.

Waller (pectoral), who was activated from injured reserve Saturday, brought in two of three targets for 47 yards in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Making his return from a minimum four-game stay on injured reserve, Waller finished with a team-high yardage total on a low-volume day for the Dolphins' air attack. The veteran tight end also came close to securing his fifth touchdown reception of the season in the second half, and he turned in an encouraging performance overall. Waller figures to remain a key part of the passing game down the stretch as Miami tries to complete a longshot bid for a wild-card spot.

Stafford completed 18 of 28 passes for two touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers. He also lost a fumble.

The veteran quarterback hit Davante Adams for two more red-zone TDs in the first half, but the Rams' passing game sputtered after halftime as the game slipped away. The picks were his first since Week 3 as he set an NFL record with 28 straight touchdown passes between interceptions, and it was the first time all season that Stafford had given the ball away more than once, but he did extend his streak of games with multiple touchdown passes to six, a stretch in which he's delivered a 20:2 TD:INT. Stafford will look to bounce back in a Week 14 divisional clash with the Cardinals.

Warren recorded three receptions on four targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans. He had one rush attempt for zero yards.

Warren, who was dealing with an illness that led to him being added to the injury report Saturday, matched his season low in targets and was also limited to his lowest yardage total of the campaign. His longest catch of the day came on a 12-yard touchdown grab late in the third quarter, his fifth score of the campaign and first since Week 7. After a hot start to the season, Warren has been held to 50 or fewer receiving yards in three of his last four games.

Mayfield completed 18 of 28 passes for 194 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding six carries for 27 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay.

Mayfield was able to manage effectively despite playing with a left shoulder support following his injury against the Rams last Sunday night, avoiding turnovers and completing passes to nine different targets overall. He also saw Chris Godwin commit a rare drop on a perfectly thrown would-be touchdown pass in the first half, but he did just enough overall to keep Tampa Bay ahead of a feisty Jacoby Brissett-led offense on the other side. Mayfield's two-yard touchdown toss to left tackle Tristan Wirfs late in the first half also extended the veteran signal-caller's streak of games with a TD pass to four, and he'll look for an even more productive performance with presumably better health in a Week 14 home matchup against the Saints.

Fannin caught three of five targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers.

Most of the damage came on a 34-yard TD pass from Shedeur Sanders early in the second quarter, the longest passing play of the day by either team on a very windy day in Cleveland. Fannin's five targets and 43 yards paced all Browns pass catchers, and in two-plus games since Sanders took the reins of the offense, the rookie tight end has a 9-109-1 line on 16 targets. Fannin will look for his fourth touchdown of the season in a Week 14 tilt against the Titans.

Pitts caught seven of eight targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets.

Pitts led the Falcons in targets, catches and receiving yards Sunday as they played without Drake London (knee) for a second consecutive game. If London remains sidelined in Week 14, a few more targets could flow Pitts' way against a Seahawks defense that has struggled to defend tight ends. The 6-foot-6 tight end has secured multiple receptions in every game this season but has only one touchdown.
