  • Malik Davis RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Malik Davis: Limited carries again

    Davis gained six rushing yards on three carries in Thursday's loss to the Lions.

    For the fourth straight game, Davis saw either three or four totes while working as the No. 2 back for the Cowboys behind Javonte Williams. Thursday's production was by far his lowest during that stretch, however -- a disappointing showing after he broke free for a 43-yard TD in Week 13. As long as Williams remains healthy, Davis will remain little more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes.

  • Tom Kennedy WR | DET

    Lions' Tom Kennedy: Limited offensive workload in win

    Kennedy did not garner a target while recording 120 yards on kickoff returns and 21 yards on punt returns in Thursday's 44-30 win over Dallas.

    Kennedy was set to operate in a more significant role on offense due to Amon-Ra St. Brown trending toward sitting with an ankle injury, but St. Brown was ultimately able to play. As a result, Kennedy's offensive snaps dropped to five total in Week 14, a significantly smaller figure than the 41 snaps on offense he logged Thanksgiving against Green Bay. The wide receiver has filled in admirably for Kalif Raymond (ankle) as a return specialist for Detroit over the last two weeks, compiling 201 kickoff return yards and 42 yards on punt returns. Whenever Raymond is able to return, Kennedy, who was signed to the active roster prior to Week 13 action, may become a healthy scratch on game days.

  • Jerome Ford RB | WAS

    Browns' Jerome Ford: May benefit from injured teammate

    Ford could see extra duty Sunday against the Titans due to Dylan Sampson (calf) being questionable for Week 14.

    Sampson, who injured his calf in last week's loss to San Francisco, was able to practice on a limited basis Friday after missing the first two practices, but it was not enough to avoid the questionable designation. Ford spelled Sampson last week and garnered his most touches since Week 7. Quinshon Judkins dominates the playing time and touches in the backfield, but Ford was often used as a third-down back before losing time to Sampson in recent weeks.

  • Cowboys' Shavon Revel: Posts six tackles on TNF

    Revel logged six tackles (four solo) during the Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Lions on Thursday.

    The rookie third-rounder finished with the third-most tackles on the Cowboys behind DaRon Bland and DeMarvion Overshown (seven each). Revel struggled on coverage and was unable to recover enough in his zone assignment to break up a 12-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Isaac TeSlaa early in the third quarter. Revel has accumulated 15 takcles (nine solo) and one pass defense through four regular-season games.

  • Derrick Barnes LB | DET

    Lions' Derrick Barnes: Forces key turnover in win

    Barnes recorded two tackles (two solo), including one tackle for a loss, and a pass defensed in Thursday's 44-30 win over the Cowboys.

    Barnes had a very modest tackle total, leaving him with three or fewer tackles in four of his last five games. However, he still made a big impact on the game, picking off a deflected Dak Prescott pass on the first play of the third quarter to set up a Detroit touchdown two plays later. That was the first interception of Barnes' career.

  • Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Logs seven tackles vs. Detroit

    Overshown tallied seven tackles (three solo) during the Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Lions on Thursday.

    Overshown played 47 of 62 defensive snaps (75.8 percent) and he co-led the Cowboys in combined tackles with DaRon Bland. Overshown has logged at least five tackles in each of his last three games and has accumulated 19 stops (10 solo) in the four games since being activated from the PUP list in mid-November.

  • Alex Anzalone MLB | TB

    Lions' Alex Anzalone: Big factor in coverage

    Anzalone recorded seven tackles (four solo) and three passes defensed in Thursday's 44-30 win over the Cowboys.

    Anzalone had a strong all-around performance in Thursday's win, logging at least seven stops for the second consecutive contest. He also had a good day in coverage, breaking up three total passes, two of which were intended for Dallas tight ends. Anzalone is having a very strong season in coverage, as his seven passes defensed matches the career high he set in 2021.

  • D.J. Reed CB | DET

    Lions' D.J. Reed: Picks off Prescott late

    Reed posted eight solo tackles and two pass defenses (including an interception) during the Lions' 44-30 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.

    Reed led the Lions with eight solo takedowns and tied with Avonte Maddox for the second-most combined tackles on the team behind Jack Campbell (12). Reed also logged his second interception of the season late in the fourth quarter after he beat out Ryan Flournoy on a Dak Prescott pass. Across seven regular-season games, Reed has logged 28 tackles (26 solo), six pass defenses, once forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

  • Lions' Al-Quadin Muhammad: Harasses Prescott in win

    Muhammad recorded three tackles (three solo), including 3.0 sacks, in Thursday's 44-30 win over the Cowboys.

    Muhammad was on the field for 38 snaps, his highest mark since Week 7. He took full advantage of the opportunity, taking down Dak Prescott three times for a total loss of 24 yards. Muhammad has a career-high 9.0 sacks on the season, including two games with 2.0 sacks or more.

  • Lions' Aidan Hutchinson: Quiet in win

    Hutchinson recorded three tackles (two solo) in Thursday's 44-30 win over the Cowboys.

    Hutchinson was unable to make much of an impact in a pivotal win for Lions, logging his lowest tackle total since Week 11. He's now gone two consecutive games without a sack, the first time that has occurred this season.
