  • Panthers' Ryan Fitzgerald: Misses FG in Week 12 loss

    Fitzgerald converted one of two field-goal attempts in Carolina's 20-9 loss to San Francisco on Monday night.

    Fitzgerald made a 25-yard field goal in the opening quarter, and his miss was a 57-yard attempt late in the fourth quarter. On the season, the rookie kicker has made 18 of 22 field-goal tries and just 16 of 19 extra-point attempts. Carolina could opt to look at other options at kicker in the coming weeks.

  • Ji'Ayir Brown SAF | SF

    49ers' Ji'Ayir Brown: Pair of INTs in win over Carolina

    Brown recorded five tackles (four solo) and two interceptions in Monday night's win over the Panthers.

    Brown played all 46 defensive snaps for San Francisco and recorded his first two interceptions of the season. Brown's first interception of Bryce Young came on a first-quarter pass into the end zone intended for Mitchell Evans. The second was a fourth-quarter pass intended for Tetairoa McMillan over the middle. On the season, Brown has logged 48 tackles (28 solo) and five pass breakups, including the two interceptions.

  • Krys Barnes LB | CAR

    Panthers' Krys Barnes: Logs 10 tackles in spot start

    Barnes recorded 10 tackles (three solo) in the Panthers' 20-9 loss to the 49ers on Monday night.

    Barnes was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Monday's contest and started at linebacker, playing 99 percent of the defensive snaps, seeing his first defensive action of the season. Christian Rozeboom (hip/hamstring) and Trevin Wallace (shoulder) were both inactive, and Claudin Cherelus exited Monday's game with a concussion, paving the way for Barnes to see extensive work.

  • Tre'von Moehrig SAF | CAR

    Panthers' Tre'von Moehrig: Eight tackles in MNF loss

    Moehrig recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Carolina's loss to San Francisco on Monday night.

    Moehrig once again played 100 percent of the defensive snaps for the Panthers against the 49ers. Through 12 games this season, all starts, Moehrig has recorded 81 tackles (50 solo), including 1.0 sacks, five QB hits and a pair of pass breakups, including one interception, on 98 percent of the defensive snaps.

  • Ian Thomas TE | LV

    Raiders' Ian Thomas: Notches season high in receptions

    Thomas caught all four of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.

    Thomas assumed the TE2 role behind Brock Bowers after Michael Mayer exited the contest early due to an ankle injury, and Thomas took advantage of the opportunity with a season-high four receptions. Given the Raiders' affinity for 12 personnel, Thomas could be in line for a similar workload against the Chargers in Week 13 if Mayer remains sidelined.

  • Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Makes 14-yard catch in loss

    Thornton caught one of two targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.

    Thornton continues to fill the Raiders' WR3 role ahead of fellow rookie Jack Bech, but once again, a 38 percent offensive snap share didn't translate to much fantasy production for Thornton. Meanwhile, Ashton Jeanty (ankle), Brock Bowers and Tre Tucker combined to see 27 total targets from quarterback Geno Smith. Thornton figures to remain a decoy against the Chargers in Week 13.

  • Jack Bech WR | LV

    Raiders' Jack Bech: Logs nine offensive snaps

    Bech was not targeted in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.

    Bech played just nine offensive snaps while fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton logged 30 behind Tre Tucker and Tyler Lockett. The Raiders subsequently fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly after falling to 2-9, but Bech isn't necessarily promised additional playing time moving forward, especially given Lockett's ties to coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith from their time together in Seattle.

  • Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Three receptions in loss

    Mostert gained two yards on one carry and caught all three of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.

    Mostert's outing was highlighted by an 18-yard reception on the Raiders' final drive of the contest, as he handled backfield duties after rookie Ashton Jeanty exited with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter. Coach Pete Carroll indicated Jeanty's injury isn't believed to be severe, but if it impacts his availability for the team's Week 13 matchup against the Chargers, Mostert could be in line for increased volume.

  • C.J. Stroud QB | HOU

    Texans' C.J. Stroud: Return could boost offense

    The eventual return of Stroud (concussion) could aid a Houston offense that struggled in the second half of last Thursday's 23-19 win over Buffalo, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports. "We still gotta do a better job of moving the ball in the second half," Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday. "I don't think our second-half offense was good enough."

    The Texans had a strong first half against the Bills with 20 points, but the offense was limited to just 60 net yards after the break. Four of the team's five second-half possessions ended in a punt, including three three-and-outs. The one scoring drive was a squandered opportunity that began at Buffalo's 22-yard line and ended with a field goal. A healthy Stroud could be the elixir to solve the execution woes. His accuracy and arm talent are considered better than those of fill-in starting quarterback Davis Mills, which means defenses would be forced to respect the passing game. Ryans said Monday that Stroud remains in concussion protocol, but the Texans have optimism about his chances of playing Sunday in Indianapolis after he returned to practice last week.

  • Mason Graham DT | CLE

    Browns' Mason Graham: Records five tackles in win

    Graham had five tackles, including one for a loss, in Sunday's 24-10 win over Las Vegas in Week 12.

    Graham played a significant role in bottling up the Raiders' ground game, which averaged just 2.9 yards per carry. The rookie defensive tackle tied his season high in tackles and has recorded tackles for a loss in three consecutive games. Graham has 27 tackles (0.5 sacks, five tackles for a loss) and four passes defensed over 11 games.
