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.

Jeudy caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers.

Four different Cleveland players tied for the team lead with three catches, and Jeudy's yardage was second to Harold Fannin's 43. Both teams had trouble passing the ball in windy conditions, but Jeudy's become an afterthought in the Browns' offense regardless of the weather. Over two-plus games since Shedeur Sanders has been under center, the veteran wideout has just a 7-86-0 line on 14 targets. Jeudy will try to find a way to make an impact in Week 14 against the Titans.

Wilson secured three of seven targets for 36 yards in the Cardinals' 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Wilson had seen nearly a season's worth of work in the last two games with Marvin Harrison sitting out due to an appendectomy, with the former producing a 25-303-0 line on 33 targets. However, the third-year pro unsurprisingly saw a noteworthy reduction in opportunities with Harrison's return, although his target tally did tie for his highest of the season outside of the aforementioned pair of contests. Wilson likely will remain in a clear complementary role moving forward for as long as Harrison remains healthy, although he could have another solid target count in a Week 14 home showdown against the Rams.

Cousins completed 21 of 33 passes for 234 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets.

Cousins had only 86 first-half passing yards but led a touchdown drive, capped by a one-yard Tyler Allgeier run, to tie the score at 7-7 with nine seconds left before halftime. Atlanta's first drive of the third quarter was also capped by a rushing score, this time on a five-yard Bijan Robinson run. Cousins then broke a 17-17 tie by connecting with David Sills for a nine-yard touchdown pass with 8:46 remaining in the fourth quarter, but the Jets scored the game's final 10 points to drop Atlanta to 4-8. Despite the slow start, Cousins ultimately exceeded 200 passing yards for the first time this season, but Atlanta's passing game won't offer much fantasy appeal in Week 14 against the Seahawks, especially if top wide receiver Drake London (knee) misses a third consecutive game.
