Demetrius Knight Jr. LB | CIN
Bengals' Demetrius Knight: Key pick in win
Knight recorded five tackles (three solo) with one interception and one pass defensed in Thursday's 32-14 win over the Ravens.
Knight has seen his role fluctuate in the Cincinnati defense, logging between a 57 and 85 percent snap rate in his last three games. While that has led to modest tackle totals -- he's tallied 15 total tackles across the three contests -- he logged a key interception early in the fourth quarter in Thursday's win.

Noah Fant TE | NO
Bengals' Noah Fant: Minimal impact again
Fant had one catch for three yards on two targets in Thursday night's win over the Ravens.
Fant at least played more snaps, 33 compared to 18 the week before, but wasn't a big part of the passing game. With Mike Gesicki healthy again, Fant's already modest level of production is incredibly unstable.

Mike Gesicki TE | CIN
Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Diminished playing time
Gesicki had two catches for 19 yards on four targets in Thursday night's win over the Ravens. He played only 23 offensive snaps (29 percent), down from 28 the week before against New England.
While the game flow was considerably different than against the Pats in Week 12, there was still plenty of passing volume to go around, with Joe Burrow throwing 46 passes. Gesicki has yet to score in the eight games in which he's played this year.

Tanner Hudson TE | CIN
Bengals' Tanner Hudson: Catches highlight-reel touchdown
Hudson had just one catch for 14 yards in Thursday night's win over the Ravens, but it was a spectacular one-handed grab in the corner of the end zone to help the Bengals stretch their lead to two scores.
Joe Burrow led Hudson perfectly to the corner, after Hudson had beaten the Ravens' Kyle Hamilton. However, Hudson played just six offensive snaps in the game as the Bengals' third tight end, with Mike Gesicki back in the rotation.

Mitchell Tinsley WR | CIN
Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: Unable to convert chances
Tinsley had two catches for 22 yards in Thursday night's win over the Ravens, despite getting targeted nine times.
Tinsley played 53 offensive snaps (66 percent) due to Tee Higgins sitting out with a concussion. Many of his targets were contested plays, suggesting that he had a hard time gaining separation from the Ravens' defensive backs. We'll have a better idea next week whether Higgins will be ready to return from his concussion and play against the Bills.

Javon Bullard SAF | GB
Packers' Javon Bullard: Makes four stops
Bullard recorded four tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Lions.
Bullard has been on the injury report with an ankle injury for the last two weeks, but he's still managed to suit up. He played on 70 percent of defensive snaps in Week 13, his highest mark since Week 9. Bullard has five or fewer tackles in five consecutive contests.

Jalen Carter DT | PHI
Eagles' Jalen Carter: Impactful despite loss Friday
Carter tallied four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two defensed passes in Friday's Week 13 loss to Chicago.
Two of Carter's four stops went for a loss, including his second-quarter sack of Caleb Williams. Carter has also been excellent on passing plays of late, notching two defensed passes in three of his past four contests. The third-year defensive end has 32 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, along with six defensed passes on the campaign.

Arik Armstead DT | JAC
Jaguars' Arik Armstead: Added to injury report
Armstead (hand) was added to the injury report Saturday and is considered questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Titans, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Armstead has had a healthy season and typically played around 70 percent of defensive snaps. He's been a key part of the Jaguars' pass rush, logging 5.5 sacks in 11 games. Armstead's potential absence would be a key loss for Jacksonville's defense.

Jalyx Hunt LB | PHI
Eagles' Jalyx Hunt: Nabs interception in Week 13 loss
Hunt recorded three tackles and an interception in Friday's loss to the Bears.
Hunt also notched two QB hits Friday. His pickoff came midway through the third period and set up Philadelphia in Chicago territory, but the ensuing drive ended when Jalen Hurts lost a fumble. Hunt has two interceptions on the season -- his other one was a pick-six in Week 7 against Minnesota.
