Donaldson logged six carries for 39 yards and lost a fumble during the Saints' 34-27 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also recorded three tackles (one solo) on special teams.

It appeared as though Donaldson found the end zone on a one-yard carry midway through the third quarter for what would have been the first touchdown of his NFL career. Unfortunately for the undrafted rookie, the call on the field was reversed, so it was quarterback Tyler Shough who snuck in for the touchdown on the next play. Donaldson proceeded to lose a fumble in the fourth quarter -- leading to a Giants touchdown six plays later -- and he didn't log another carry after that. Travis Etienne (hamstring, IR) has been sidelined for each of the Saints' last three games, and during that span, Donaldson has operated as the team's RB3 behind Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller. The Saints will travel to Paris for a Week 7 tilt against the Steelers on Oct. 25.

Carlson made two of his three field-goal attempts and all four PATs in the Saints' 34-27 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Carlson made field goals from 51 yards and 58 yards while missing a 55-yard kick in the second quarter. Despite the miss, the kicker accounted for 10 of the Saints' 34 points and displayed a strong leg throughout the contest.

Patrick caught one of three targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Patriots.

Patrick was unable to have much of an impact in Week 6, finishing tied for fourth on the team in targets with tight end Kenyon Sadiq. With Adonai Mitchell (finger) still banged up, Patrick could get another crack at operating in a prominent role in New York's offense in Week 7 versus Miami.

Sanders made all four of his field-goal attempts and his sole PAT in the Jets' 26-19 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Sanders had a stellar game, contributing 13 of the Jets' 19 total points in the contest. The kicker made field goals from 42, 36, 40 and 36 yards in the contest, keeping the Jets in the game until the very end.

Gifford (groin) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Commanders, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Gifford likely picked up the injury at some point during the first half of Monday's game. He was working in an elevated role defensively due to the absences of Dre Greenlaw (suspension) and Garret Wallow (hamstring), so Tatum Bethune should see a larger workload on defense for as long as Gifford is out of the game.

Bass converted all four of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries during Buffalo's win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Bass was dominant during the victory, as he was perfect on all of his kicks. The 29-year-old continues to have a strong season, as he has missed just one kick across his first six appearances.

Evans (Achilles) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday night's game against the Commanders, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

After previously being deemed questionable to return, Evans has now been officially ruled out for the remainder of the contest after he didn't even come out of the locker room with the team for the start of the third quarter. Prior to departing with the right Achilles injury, Evans caught three of five targets for 94 yards. At the end of a 16-yard grab in the second quarter, Evans sat on the ground and grabbed at his right Achilles, the one he's been battling soreness in for the past week and caused him to miss practice leading up to Monday night. Jordan Watkins and Brandin Cooks will be tasked with leading this injury-depleted San Francisco wideout room.

Fields caught two of eight targets for 19 yards during the Giants' 34-27 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Fields' eight targets were a career high for the rookie third-rounder and third-most among Giants pass catchers behind Malik Nabers (15) and Isaiah Likely (11). However, Fields had only two receptions to show for it, and he's logged two catches in each of the first six games of his NFL career. The Giants will hit the road for Week 7 against the Texans, and Fields could be working with J.J. McCarthy rather than Jameis Winston for that contest.

Williams reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Williams was elevated as a precaution but did not play in the game, even though Sean Tucker (quadriceps) was inactive. Williams suited up to watch Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell absorb all of the offensive snaps. The running back also did not see any reps with the special teams unit in the contest.

Stick reverted to Tampa Bay's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Stick served as the team's backup quarterback behind Jalon Daniels for the third consecutive week as Baker Mayfield (thumb) remains sidelined but once again did not see any playing time. With Sunday's loss to the Steelers marking the third time this season the Buccaneers have activated Stick, they will now need to sign him to the active roster for the 2019 fifth-round pick to be eligible to appear in another game.
