Bates notched seven tackles (six solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a 24-10 victory versus New Orleans.

Bates finished fourth on the Falcons in tackles in the victory. The veteran safety has now reached at least seven stops in seven of the team's 11 contests this season. Bates is up to 71 tackles through 11 games as he aims for his third straight regular season with triple-digit stops.

Pacheco (knee) is optimistic that he'll be able to play Thursday against the Cowboys, though the Chiefs have yet to make a final decision regarding his status, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Pacheco has been sidelined since Week 8 with a sprained MCL but returned to practice ahead of Kansas City's Week 12 matchup against the Colts. He logged an additional estimated full practice Monday, which seemingly sets him up to return on Thanksgiving afternoon against the Cowboys. However, a short week complicates his outlook a bit. Even if he is active, Pacheco would likely still be in a split backfield with Kareem Hunt, who has operated as the primary back in Pacheco's absence.

Tipton recorded three receptions (on four targets) for 22 yards during Sunday's 24-10 loss versus the Falcons.

Tipton logged season highs across the board, recording twice as many targets as he did over his nine appearances. The Saints sent away No. 2 wideout Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline before waiving veteran Brandin Cooks on Saturday. This moved Tipton to the WR3 spot behind Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele, as these two logged 13 and seven targets, respectively. The Saints' struggling passing offense probably cannot support consistent production for a No. 3 wideout, so Tipton's fantasy value will still be extremely limited. The second-year wideout will likely see similar usage in New Orleans' Week 13 matchup against Miami on Sunday.

Watt recorded five total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also forcing a fumble in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears.

Watt was able to get to the quarterback for the third time in four weeks, recording strip sack of Caleb Williams in the second quarter that caused a fumble which was ultimately recovered for a touchdown by teammate Nick Herbig. The sack was also the linebacker's 115th of his career, passing his older brother J.J. Watt's 114.5 career sacks. On the year, T.J. Watt has compiled 43 total tackles (18 solo), including 7.0 sacks, while also adding an interception, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over 11 contests.

Alford tallied 10 tackles (nine solo), a defensed pass and a fumble recovery Sunday in a 24-10 Week 12 win over the Saints.

Alford didn't play in Week 11 due to a concussion but was cleared in time to suit up Sunday. He ended up leading the Falcons in tackles while reaching the double-digit mark for the first time this season. Alford also had a fumble recovery early in the game that led to a Falcons field goal. The fourth-year cornerback will likely see a larger role moving forward with Billy Bowman out for the season due to a torn Achilles.

Davis posted 11 tackles (six solo) during the Saints' 24-10 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

It was another busy day for Davis, who played every single defensive snap for the 10th time in 11 games while logging double-digit tackles for the seventh time this season. The 2012 third-rounder has cracked the tackling century mark for a ninth consecutive year and for the 11th time in his NFL career. Davis' 102 total tackles (through 11 regular-season games) are tied with Jamien Sherwood for seventh most in the NFL.

Watts finished Sunday's 24-10 victory versus New Orleans with six tackles (five solo) and an interception.

Watts briefly exited due to an apparent injury early in the fourth quarter but was able to return in short order. The rookie safety then put a ribbon on the victory with an interception in the final seconds of the contest. Watts is up to three pickoffs on the campaign, tops among NFL rookies.

Franklin compiled 14 total tackles (seven solo) and a forced fumble in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Chiefs.

Franklin finished second on the team in takedowns behind fellow linebacker Germaine Pratt (20), registering a season-high 14 snaps in the loss. The 29-year-old has now recorded double-digit tackles in back-to-back contests after failing to get to 10 tackles in any contests prior this season. Additionally, he made his mark on the game in the fourth quarter, stripping running back Kareem Hunt. The ball was recovered by teammate Charvarius Ward, and Franklin is now up to 74 total tackles (38 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while also adding a forced fumble over 11 games this year.

Reid posted seven tackles (three solo) and a pick-six during the Saints' 24-10 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Reid picked off a Kirk Cousins pass that bounced off the hands of tight end Kyle Pitts, which Reid was able to return for a 49-yard pick-six in what ended up being the Saints' lone touchdown in Sunday's loss. It was the first interception of the season for Reid and the second pick-six of his career, the first of which took place during his rookie season in 2018 as a member of the Texans. The veteran safety has logged 59 tackles (33 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and four pass defenses through 11 regular-season games.

Thompson totaled nine tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with a defensed pass and a forced fumble Sunday in an overtime loss to the Jaguars.

Thompson's nine stops tied for the Cardinals lead. Among his tackles was a sack of Trevor Lawrence late in the first half on which he forced fumble that was recovered by teammate Walter Nolen and returned for a touchdown. Thompson is up to 72 tackles and four defensed passes through 11 games on the season.
