T.J. Watt has a vintage performance, T.J. Edwards continues to rack up tackles and Melvin Gordon is released by the Broncos.

  • Russell Wilson, QB (Broncos): Wilson completed 24 of 31 passes for 247 yards, no touchdowns and no picks in the Broncos’ overtime loss to the Raiders on Sunday. With the Broncos now sitting at 3-7 and Wilson ranking 28 out of 31 eligible quarterbacks in QBR, it’s been a disappointing first season in Denver for the former Super Bowl champion.
  • Jonathan Taylor, RB (Colts): Taylor had 22 carries and rushed for 84 yards, and also tacked on three catches for ten receiving yards in the Colts’ loss the Eagles. The third-year pro also had a costly fumble in the fourth quarter while Indianapolis was still ahead in the game.
  • Melvin Gordon, RB (Broncos): Gordon rushed for 31 yards on eight carries and reeled in five catches for 39 receiving yards in the Broncos’ loss to the Raiders. However, the eight-year veteran fumbled on Sunday for the fifth time this season and it was the last straw for Denver. The Broncos released Gordon on Monday, and after clearing waivers on Tuesday is now a free agent who can sign with any team.
  • Dare Ogunbowale, RB (Texans): Ogunbowale played four offensive snaps and hauled in his only target for five receiving yards in the Texans’ loss to the Commanders. The former walk-on also saw action on 74% of special teams snaps in the game.
  • Derek Watt, FB (Steelers): Watt logged 30 total snaps (seven offensive, 23 special teams) but had no touches in the Steelers’ loss to the Bengals.
  • Alec Ingold, FB (Dolphins): The Dolphins had a bye in Week 11.
  • Ryan Ramczyk, OT (Saints): The six-year veteran started at right tackle and played every offensive snap in the Saints’ win over the Rams.
  • Rob Havenstein, OT (Rams): Havenstein started at right tackle and played all 64 offensive snaps for the Rams in Week 11.
  • Kevin Zeitler, OG (Ravens): Zeitler started at right guard and played 100% of offensive snaps in the Ravens’ win over the Panthers.
  • Cole Van Lanen OG (Jaguars): The Jaguars had a bye in Week 11.

  • Joe Schobert, LB (Titans): After spending the past three weeks on the practice squad, Schobert was signed to the Titans’ active roster last week. The seven-year veteran played 25% of defensive snaps and notched one solo tackle in the Titans’ Thursday night win over the Packers.
