Badgers in the NFL: Week 11

Veterans

• Russell Wilson, QB (Seahawks): Wilson had an eye-opening 82% completion percentage and threw for two touchdowns in Seattle’s Thursday night win over the Cardinals. The nine year veteran also ran for 42 yards in the win.

• James White, RB (Patriots): The former Super Bowl hero was targeted nine times and finished with six catches for 64 yards in Week 11. White also added 19 rushing yards on five carries.
• Melvin Gordon, RB (Broncos): Gordon rushed for 84 yards on 15 carries, good for a season-high 5.6 yards per carry, and two touchdowns in the Broncos’ win over the Dolphins. The six year veteran is still having issues putting the ball on the ground though and fumbled once on Sunday.

• Corey Clement, RB (Eagles): Clement was placed on the Reserve/COVID list last week and was forced to miss Sunday’s game against the Browns.
• Dare Ogunbowale, RB (Jaguars): The former walk-on played a season-high 13 snaps at running back and was targeted twice, but finished with no catches. Ogunbowale was also on the field for 62% of special teams snaps.
• Derek Watt, FB (Steelers): Watt logged eleven snaps at fullback and played 69% of special teams in Week 11.
• Alec Ingold, FB (Raiders): Ingold played 34% of offensive snaps and finished with one catch for 11 yards in the Raiders’ loss to the Chiefs.

• Joe Schobert, LB (Jaguars): Schobert was on the field for every defensive snap in Week 11 and had a season-high 13 tackles for the Jaguars.
• T.J. Watt, LB (Steelers): Watt had a relatively quite game by his standards in the Steelers’ win over the Jaguars and finished with just two tackles and two quarterback hits.

• T.J. Edwards, LB (Eagles): Edwards started at inside linebacker and played 70% of defensive snaps in Week 11. The second year pro notched five tackles and a tackle for loss in the Eagles’ loss to the Browns.
• Ryan Connelly, LB (Vikings): Connelly logged 13 snaps on special teams and recorded one tackle in the Vikings’ loss to the Cowboys.
• Andrew Van Ginkel, LB (Dolphins): Van Ginkel has turned into a major contributor on Miami’s defense this season. The second year outside linebacker played 69% of defensive snaps and tallied two tackles, one quarterback hit, and a forced fumble that prevented a touchdown in Week 11.

Rookies

After rushing for 27 yards or less in his past three games, this was a much-needed performance from the former two-time Doak Walker award winner.

• Quintez Cephus, WR (Lions): Cephus played 30% of offensive snaps and finished with one catch for nine yards in Week 11.
• Tyler Biadasz, C (Cowboys): Biadasz was placed on injured reserve last week due to hamstring injury and did not play in Sunday’s game versus the Vikings. He will have to miss at least three games until he is eligible to return.
• Zack Baun, LB (Saints): Baun saw only three snaps on defense, but logged 18 special teams snaps in the Saints’ win over the Falcons.
• Chris Orr, LB (Panthers): A week after making his NFL debut as a replacement player, Orr was once again promoted to Carolina’s active roster for Week 11. The undrafted rookie played 14 total snaps (1 defensive, 13 special teams) and recorded no tackles in the Panthers’ win over the Lions.
