Cross finished Sunday's loss to Jacksonville with five tackles (three solo) and two defensed passes.

Cross was Indianapolis' third-leading tackler in the tough loss. He also notched multiple defensed passes for the first time this season. Cross has posted at least five tackles in all but one of his 13 contests on the campaign and is up to 89 stops, including 2.5 sacks, overall.

Hamilton logged three tackles (one solo) during Baltimore's 27-22 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Despite playing every single defensive snap, Sunday marked just the second time this season that Hamilton logged three tackles or less. The 2022 first-rounder is up to 79 combined tackles through 12 regular-season games, and he'll have four more games to reach the 100-tackle milestone for a second consecutive year.

Molden (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's contest against the Eagles, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Molden suffered a hamstring injury in the first half and was ruled out during the third quarter. Tarheeb Still is getting work as the slot corner while Derwin James has slid over to safety in Molden's stead. Molden will look to get well ahead of next Sunday's clash against Kansas City.

Tipton totaled zero targets during Sunday's 24-20 victory over the Buccaneers.

Tipton has moved into the WR3 role since the Saints let go Brandin Cooks three weeks ago. The 25-year-old logged exactly three catches on four targets in each of the previous two games, but he did not show up on the stat sheet versus Tampa Bay other than a 54-yard return on the opening kickoff. Quarterback Tyler Shough fell well below his average number of passing attempts with just 20 in Week 14. However, Tipton's playing time also took a hit, falling to 45 percent of the offensive snaps after playing 70-plus in each of the previous two contests. Tipton's limited role shouldn't warrant much, if any, attention from fantasy owners. New Orleans will next play versus the Panthers in Week 15.

Smith tallied 10 tackles (four solo), including one stop for a loss, during the Ravens' 27-22 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Smith and Kyle Hamilton were the only two Ravens defenders to play every single snap Sunday, and the former finished with double-digit tackles for a third consecutive game and the seventh time this season. Smith is now up to 100 total tackles through 11 regular-season games, and the 2018 first-rounder has cracked the tackling century mark in each of his eight campaigns in the NFL.

Bates logged two solo tackles during the Falcons' 37-9 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Bates was one of three Falcons defenders to play every single snap Sunday, but the veteran safety tied a season low with just two stops. He is now up to 77 combined tackles through 13 regular-season games, and he has four more games to crack the tackling century mark for the sixth time in his career and for a third consecutive season.

Pipkins (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday night's contest against the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Pipkins suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter, and his night has now officially come to a premature end. Bobby Hart will remain in his place at right tackle versus Philadelphia.

Dickerson (calf) has returned to Monday's game against the Chargers, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Dickerson went to the locker room in the second quarter to have his calf injury evaluated. He's been cleared by the medical staff to return, and he'll reclaim his spot at left guard while Brett Toth goes back to the bench.

Hughes tallied six solo tackles and an interception during the Falcons' 37-9 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Hughes picked off a Sam Darnold pass that was tipped by A.J. Terrell early in the second quarter, though the Falcons weren't able to convert the turnover into points after Zane Gonzalez's 50-yard field goal was blocked by Nick Emmanwori. Not only was it Hughes' first interception of the season, but it was also his first pick since Week 1 of the 2021 campaign as a member of the Chiefs. The veteran corner is up to 51 tackles (40 solo) and seven pass defenses through 11 regular-season games.

Hill recorded two rushing attempts for minus-1 yard, and he failed to haul in either of his two targets during Sunday's 24-20 win against the Buccaneers.

Hill tallied two touches for the second week in a row. The 35-year-old played a season-high 41 percent of the offensive snaps, but he's been largely irrelevant since his 2025 debut in Week 5. Over nine games, Hill is now averaging 0.4 receptions and 3.9 rushing attempts while totaling 10.8 yards per game. His low volume and inefficiency should continue to make Hill a non-factor for fantasy owners. New Orleans will next play Week 15 versus Carolina on Sunday, Dec. 14.
