Sanders completed 23 of 42 passes for 364 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding three rushes for 29 yards and another score in the Browns' 31-29 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

Sanders' final line emphasizes the breakout quality of the rookie's performance, which was fueled by a 60-yard touchdown pass to Jerry Jeudy, another pair of passing scores to David Njoku (one yard) and Harold Fannin (seven yards), and a seven-yard rush TD, with the latter two plays occurring in the fourth quarter. Head coach Kevin Stefanski opted to take the ball out of Sanders' hands during an attempt at a game-tying two-point conversion after the touchdown pass to Fannin, but it was otherwise another significant step in the right direction for the fifth-round pick. Sanders showed increasing command of the offense by spreading the ball around to eight different targets, and he'll next make a trip to Soldier Field to face off with the Bears next Sunday.

Pitts caught six of 10 targets for 90 yards in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.

For the second straight game, Pitts was the favorite target for Kirk Cousins, as the tight end led the Falcons in catches, targets and receiving yards. In the three games since Michael Penix (knee) was lost for the season and Cousins took over at QB, Pitts has posted a 15-197-0 line on 23 targets, giving him some real momentum heading into a Week 15 tilt against Tampa Bay.

Mooney caught one of four targets for six yards in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.

Even with Drake London (knee) out of action again, Mooney couldn't get anything going against Seattle's tough defense, as tight end Kyle Pitts wound up leading Atlanta in all receiving categories. In the three games London has missed, Mooney's managed just a 6-105-1 line on 12 targets, making him little more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes in Week 15 against the Buccaneers, whether London is healthy or not.

Pollard rushed 25 times for 161 yards and two touchdowns in the Titans' 31-29 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Pollard churned out a new single-game career-best rushing yardage total in the Titans' second win of the season, with a 65-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter serving as the highlight of his stellar afternoon. The veteran back went on to add a 32-yard scoring scamper late in the third quarter to finish with his first multi-TD tally of the season. Pollard had topped 90 rushing yards only once this season before Sunday, so the breakout against what had been a tough Browns defense was particularly unforeseen. Pollard will look to author a fitting encore in a Week 15 road clash against the 49ers next Sunday.

Allgeier carried the ball 11 times for 34 yards and caught both his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.

The Falcons offense couldn't get into the end zone, but the backfield had a solid performance as Bijan Robinson collected 94 scrimmage yards on 22 touches and Allgeier added 67 yards on 13 touches. It's the first time Allgeier has reached 60 yards from scrimmage since Week 2, and he'll remain a TD-dependent fantasy option in Week 15 against the Buccaneers.

Irving rushed 15 times for 55 yards and brought in two of three targets for 26 yards a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Irving had elevated expectations heading into the divisional matchup given some of the Saints' troubles defending the run this season, but New Orleans did a reasonably effective job while limiting him to a stingy 23 yards on the 14 carries he logged outside of his game-long 32-yard run. Irving did record his third receiving touchdown of the season on a 24-yard catch and run in the first quarter, helping to salvage his fantasy day. Irving's opportunities on the ground were somewhat capped due to a surprising game script that saw Tampa Bay trailing through more than half of the fourth quarter, but he'll have a good chance to bounce back in a Week 15 home matchup against a vulnerable Falcons run defense on Thursday night.

Robinson carried the ball 20 times for 86 yards and caught both his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks. He also lost a fumble.

The third-year RB reached 1,000 rushing yards for the season on his first carry, but that might have been the high point of the day for the Atlanta offense. Robinson saw his streak of games with at least 100 scrimmage yards end at three, and through 13 contests he's produced 1,081 rushing yards and five TDs along with a 56-604-2 line on 70 targets. He'll look to get back to triple digits in yardage in a Week 15 tilt against Tampa Bay.

Cousins completed 15 of 30 passes for 162 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.

The Falcons were limited to just three field goals on the day, as Cousins simply couldn't get anything going. The absence of Drake London (knee) was noticeable, as tight end Kyle Pitts was the only Atlanta pass catcher to make much of an impact. Cousins has a 3:3 TD:INT in three starts since Michael Penix (knee) was lost for the season, but the veteran QB might have more success in Week 15 against the Buccaneers.

Metchie caught four of eight targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Metchie tied for the team lead in targets with Mason Taylor while finishing second behind Taylor in both catches and receiving yards as the Jets struggled offensively while playing most of the game with third-string quarterback Brady Cook after Tyrod Taylor suffered an early groin injury. Metchie has made at least four catches in each of his last three games, establishing himself as a reliable option in an undermanned Jets passing game that has been playing without Garrett Wilson (knee), who is eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 15 against the Jaguars.

Brown rushed 12 times for 23 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of four targets for 12 yards and another score in the Bengals' 39-34 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Brown had a seemingly tantalizing matchup coming into the afternoon against what had been a vulnerable Bills front seven, but the third-year back was consistently shut down on the ground outside of a five-yard touchdown run with just under seven minutes remaining in the first quarter. Brown was less productive than usual as a receiver as well, considering his yardage total in that capacity was his lowest since Week 7, but he was able to record an impressive 10-yard contested TD grab with just over three minutes remaining in the first half. Brown's first opportunity to bounce back with more production yardage-wise come in a Week 15 home rematch against a Ravens team he posted 113 total yards against in a Thanksgiving Night win.
