Arizona Cardinals

Trey McBride has the third-highest yards per route run number of all tight ends, turning his 71 routes into 141 yards.


Atlanta Falcons

Sophomore receiver Drake London was the only receiver to pick up triple-digit receiving yards against zone this week with the 101 he managed.


Baltimore Ravens

Edge defender Jadeveon Clowney had the most total pressures of all defenders this week with two sacks, two hits and five hurries giving him nine total.


Buffalo Bills

Is Josh Allen the king of play-action right now? He has the most yards (653), the best touchdown to interception ratio (6:0) and is yet to have a turnover-worthy play with this concept.


Carolina Panthers

He had the lead last week, and he maintains it this week. No receiver has caught more balls without dropping any than Adam Thielen and his 59 receptions.


Chicago Bears

No quarterback has a better ratio of touchdowns to interceptions on deep passes than Justin Fields at 6:0. This is no fluke either given he is one of four quarterbacks to throw deep at least 20 times and not have a turnover-worthy play.


Cincinnati Bengals

No defender had more combined pass breakups and interceptions than the three that Cam Taylor-Britt managed this week.


Cleveland Browns

Despite the difficult matchup with Trent Williams, Myles Garrett still has the best pass rusher win percentage of all players this year at 29.8%.


Dallas Cowboys

Dak Prescott was exceptional on plays that took 2.5 seconds or longer, earning the best grade of all QBs to have at least 15 dropbacks in this facet with a 90.0 grade. This was powered by two big-time throws and 172 yards on 27 dropbacks.


Denver Broncos

Tackle Garett Bolles has the highest grade with his gap run blocking of all his peers at 84.8.


Detroit Lions

Receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown picked up the most yards of any receiver from the slot this week with the 76 yards he managed lined up inside.


Green Bay Packers

Rudy Ford still leads all defensive backs with 18 tackles in the run game. Given that he has also not missed any, this also means he’s made the most tackles of all defensive backs without missing one.


Houston Texans

No receiver has forced more missed tackles after the catch this season than Nico Collins with 11.


Indianapolis Colts

Linebacker Zaire Franklin has made more defensive stops in the run game (18) than any other player this season.


Jacksonville Jaguars

Foyesade Oluokun made more defensive stops in coverage than any other player this week with five.


Kansas City Chiefs

No quarterback has more yards scrambling than Patrick Mahomes and his 192.


Las Vegas Raiders

Kolton Miller spent more snaps pass blocking in true pass sets without giving up a hit, hurry or sack than any player this week at 17.


Los Angeles Chargers

Justin Herbert is one of two quarterbacks who have avoided being sacked while using play-action.


Los Angeles Rams

No offensive lineman scored a higher grade on zone runs than the 92.9 Rob Havenstein managed on 14 snaps.


Miami Dolphins

Which Tyreek Hill stat to go with? Let’s go for three. No. 1, while he caught four deep passes this week, no other receiver caught two. Onto the next, he once again led the league in yards per route run with 6.79. And lastly, he also recorded the highest grade of any receiver this week at 93.5. 


Minnesota Vikings

When Kirk Cousins was kept clean, he delivered the best grade of any quarterback this week at 90.8. This was due to his two big-time throws and 91.3% adjusted completion percentage that doesn’t penalize him for his receivers' drops.


New England Patriots

No team has gotten more snaps out of its rookie offensive linemen, Sidy Sow and Atonio Mafi combined for 431 snaps.


New Orleans Saints

Center Erik McCoy has the highest run-blocking grade of all interior offensive linemen (90.2).


New York Giants

Linebacker Bobby Okereke recorded the highest coverage grade of any defender to play more than 15 snaps this week with a 93.2 that was inspired by two defensive stops and two pass breakups.


New York Jets

Quincy Williams now has more defensive stops in coverage than any other player with 15. The next best score is 12.


Philadelphia Eagles

No quarterback graded as well on dropbacks of 2.5 seconds or under than Jalen Hurts, who completed all 19 of his passes in this regard on his way to an 89.2 grade.


Pittsburgh Steelers

Even though the Steelers were on a bye this week, T.J. Watt still leads the NFL in quarterback takedowns (hits and sacks combined) with 15.


San Francisco 49ers

Brandon Aiyuk picked up more yards against man coverage this week than any receiver with his 66 yards.


Seattle Seahawks

Rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon has the second most combined pass breakups and interceptions of all defenders with six this year.


Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tristan Wirfs is one of only two offensive tackles to give up three or fewer total pressures despite pass blocking at least 100 times.


Tennessee Titans

Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair led the way in the run game in terms of tackles, as he is the only one to post double digits after delivering 10.


Washington Commanders

Chase Young has the fifth-best win percentage of all edge defenders when rushing the passer on true pass sets at 28.8%.
