  • Evan Hull RB | HOU

    Saints' Evan Hull: Records two touches in Tampa Bay

    Hull notched one carry for four yards and reeled in his only target for six yards during Sunday's 24-20 victory against the Buccaneers.

    With Alvin Kamara out for the second game in a row, Hull once again saw the field in the Saints' injury-riddled running-back room. This week, Devin Neal took on a bigger role as the RB1 with 19 carries, and fellow backup Audric Estime saw more run with three carries compared to zero in the previous game. Hull has now accumulated seven rushing attempts in four career games across his first three seasons. Even if the Saints are hit with more injuries at running back, it's unlikely that Hull will be their first choice to help fill the void. Fantasy owners shouldn't expect much out of him during the Week 15 contest versus Carolina.

  • Owen Pappoe LB | ARI

    Cardinals' Owen Pappoe: Notches double-digit stops Week 14

    Pappoe posted 10 tackles (six solo) and a defensed pass in Sunday's loss to the Rams.

    Pappoe led Arizona in stops despite playing only half of the team's defensive snaps. That was a significant increase in opportunity, as Pappoe had played exclusively on special teams over his 12 games prior to Sunday. Akeem Davis-Gaither notched just one defensive snap against Los Angeles, which may indicate that Arizona wants to give Pappoe an extended look moving forward, especially given his strong performance Sunday.

  • Cardinals' Andre Baccellia: Little output despite starting

    Baccellia recorded one catch on three targets for three yards during Sunday's 45-17 defeat to the Rams.

    The Cardinals were without WRs Marvin Harrison (heel), Greg Dortch (chest) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) in Week 14, affording Baccellia an opportunity for his first career start. The third-year player took a back seat to Michael Wilson in receiving output but matched him with a 79 percent snap share, easily outpacing practice-squad elevations Jalen Brooks (40 percent) and Trent Sherfield (nine percent). Even if Baccellia retains that workload this coming Sunday, an unyielding Texans defense isn't likely to yield much production to a wideout with nine receptions over 17 NFL appearances in his career.

  • Kamren Curl SAF | LAR

    Rams' Kamren Curl: Sacks Brissett in Week 14 win

    Curl logged six tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Rams' 45-17 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Curl co-led the Rams in tackles with Omar Speights on Sunday, and the former earned his second sack of the season on the first play of the fourth quarter. The sixth-year safety is up to 97 tackles (66 solo) and four pass defenses (two interceptions) through 13 regular-season games.

  • Foster Moreau TE | HOU

    Saints' Foster Moreau: Catches one pass Week 14

    Moreau caught his only target for 16 yards during Sunday's 24-20 win versus the Buccaneers.

    Moreau split snaps with TE1 Juwan Johnson, but he played an ancillary role once again, as he was one of four Saints receivers who logged either one of two targets behind top pass catchers Devaughn Vele (five), Chris Olave (five) and Johnson (four). His opportunities were even more limited than usual, with quarterback Tyler Shough logging a season-low 20 passing attempts. Barring injuries to one of New Orleans' top receivers, Moreau still won't have any fantasy relevance moving forward. The team will next play Week 15 against Carolina on Sunday.

  • Nick Cross SAF | WAS

    Colts' Nick Cross: Posts five stops in Week 14 loss

    Cross finished Sunday's loss to Jacksonville with five tackles (three solo) and two defensed passes.

    Cross was Indianapolis' third-leading tackler in the tough loss. He also notched multiple defensed passes for the first time this season. Cross has posted at least five tackles in all but one of his 13 contests on the campaign and is up to 89 stops, including 2.5 sacks, overall.

  • Kyle Hamilton SAF | BAL

    Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Posts three stops in Week 14 loss

    Hamilton logged three tackles (one solo) during Baltimore's 27-22 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday.

    Despite playing every single defensive snap, Sunday marked just the second time this season that Hamilton logged three tackles or less. The 2022 first-rounder is up to 79 combined tackles through 12 regular-season games, and he'll have four more games to reach the 100-tackle milestone for a second consecutive year.

  • Elijah Molden CB | LAC

    Chargers' Elijah Molden: Done for Week 14

    Molden (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's contest against the Eagles, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Molden suffered a hamstring injury in the first half and was ruled out during the third quarter. Tarheeb Still is getting work as the slot corner while Derwin James has slid over to safety in Molden's stead. Molden will look to get well ahead of next Sunday's clash against Kansas City.

  • Mason Tipton WR | NO

    Saints' Mason Tipton: Sees zero targets in win

    Tipton totaled zero targets during Sunday's 24-20 victory over the Buccaneers.

    Tipton has moved into the WR3 role since the Saints let go Brandin Cooks three weeks ago. The 25-year-old logged exactly three catches on four targets in each of the previous two games, but he did not show up on the stat sheet versus Tampa Bay other than a 54-yard return on the opening kickoff. Quarterback Tyler Shough fell well below his average number of passing attempts with just 20 in Week 14. However, Tipton's playing time also took a hit, falling to 45 percent of the offensive snaps after playing 70-plus in each of the previous two contests. Tipton's limited role shouldn't warrant much, if any, attention from fantasy owners. New Orleans will next play versus the Panthers in Week 15.

  • Roquan Smith ILB | BAL

    Ravens' Roquan Smith: Logs double-digit stops again

    Smith tallied 10 tackles (four solo), including one stop for a loss, during the Ravens' 27-22 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

    Smith and Kyle Hamilton were the only two Ravens defenders to play every single snap Sunday, and the former finished with double-digit tackles for a third consecutive game and the seventh time this season. Smith is now up to 100 total tackles through 11 regular-season games, and the 2018 first-rounder has cracked the tackling century mark in each of his eight campaigns in the NFL.
