Nick Chubb RB | CLE
Browns' Nick Chubb: Records receiving TD in loss
Chubb rushed nine times for 21 yards and secured both targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 41-32 loss to the Broncos on Monday night.
Chubb and Jerome Ford both logged the same number of carries, but the latter recorded 20 more rushing yards. However, Chubb was the only one of the two that got into the end zone, as he recorded a five-yard scoring grab with just under nine minutes remaining to erase a 31-25 deficit. The touchdown was Chubb's first through the air since Week 18 of the 2022 season and fourth overall since making his Week 7 season debut. Chubb will look to hit paydirt again Week 14 versus a Steelers squad that he tallied a pair of rush TDs against Week 12.

Will McDonald IV DE | NYJ
Jets' Will McDonald: Pair of sacks in loss
McDonald registered 2.0 sacks in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.
McDonald was able to get to Geno Smith two times in the defeat, notching his third multi-sack performance of the year and first since Week 3. The 25-year-old has now produced 21 total tackles (16 solo), including 10.0 sacks, while also adding two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and a pass defensed over 12 games this season.

Bo Nix QB | DEN
Broncos' Bo Nix: Mixed stat line in win
Nix completed 18 of 35 pass attempts for 294 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing three times for four yards in Monday's 41-32 win over Cleveland.
Nix turned in mixed results in Monday's thrilling victory, throwing his 17th touchdown in addition to his seventh and eighth interceptions of the season. The rookie standout didn't have his best game as a rusher, either, but his 294 passing yards was his second-highest total through 13 starts. Nix has been progressing well since enduring a slow start to the campaign, making him a viable fantasy option coming out of the upcoming bye against the Colts on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Quincy Williams OLB | NYJ
Jets' Quincy Williams: Notches sack in loss
Williams recorded seven total tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.
Williams forced a fumble on rush attempt by Kenneth Walker on the first play of the game, but it was recovered by the Seahawks. Williams later added a sack of Geno Smith in the third quarter, raising his season total to 2.0 sacks. The linebacker has registered 87 total tackles (56 solo), including the 2.0 sacks, while also adding three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and a pass defensed over 12 games in 2024.

David Njoku TE | CLE
Browns' David Njoku: Pair of TDs in loss
Njoku brought in nine of 17 targets for 52 yards and two touchdowns in the Browns' 41-32 loss to the Broncos on Monday night.
Njoku recorded his first touchdown since Jameis Winston's first game as a starter in Week 8 when he brought in an eight-yard grab late in the first quarter to erase an early 7-0 deficit and added a four-yard touchdown reception to cap off an 11-play, 70-yard march late in the first half. Njoku also was the target on Winston's third and final interception of the night with 44 seconds remaining, and he led the Browns in targets with a career-high figure. The veteran tight end will look to build on his second nine-catch effort of the last three games when Cleveland faces the Steelers on the road Week 14.

Elijah Moore WR | CLE
Browns' Elijah Moore: Second 100-yard game of career
Moore brought in eight of 14 targets for 111 yards in the Browns' 41-32 loss to the Broncos on Monday night. He also rushed once for one yard.
With Cedric Tillman (concussion) unavailable, Moore stepped up to produce his first 100-yard effort since Week 11 of his 2021 rookie season with the Jets. The veteran wideout has posted his three best receiving yardage totals of the season with Jameis Winston as his quarterback, as Monday night's effort was preceded by 85- and 66-yard tallies in Weeks 8 and 11, respectively. If Tillman remains sidelined for Sunday's Week 14 road rematch with the Steelers, Moore could play another significant role in that divisional clash.

Coby Bryant CB | SEA
Seahawks' Coby Bryant: Five tackles in win
Bryant recorded five total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets.
Bryant was on the field for all 62 of the team's defensive snaps, playing 100 percent of the defensive snaps for a fifth game in a row. The cornerback has now produced 44 total tackles (32 solo), while also adding two interceptions, a defensive touchdown and four passes defensed over 12 games this season.

Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Career-best performance in loss
Jeudy secured nine of 13 targets for 235 yards and a touchdown while adding a two-point conversion catch in the Browns' 41-32 loss to the Broncos on Monday night.
Facing the team that invested the 15th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft in him, Jeudy ensured his return to Denver was a memorable one by recording career highs in receptions and receiving yards. Jeudy got to the latter total with a significant assist from a 70-yard touchdown reception early in the third quarter, as well as a 35-yard grab to open a possession early in the fourth quarter. The veteran wideout has displayed excellent chemistry with Jameis Winston since the latter took over the starting job, generating a 33-614-2 line on 49 targets over that five-game span. Jeudy will next take aim at a Steelers defense he posted six receptions for 85 yards against back in Week 12, as Cleveland travels to Pittsburgh for an AFC North clash on Sunday.

Tyrice Knight LB | SEA
Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: Fumble recovery in win
Knight recorded four total tackles (three solo) and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets.
Knight made his biggest impact in the third quarter, recovering a fumble from running back Breece Hall, which was forced by teammate Julian Love. Through 11 games in 2024, the linebacker has compiled 46 total tackles (27 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also recovering a fumble.

Jameis Winston QB | CLE
Browns' Jameis Winston: Career-high passing total in loss
Winston completed 34 of 58 passes for 497 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions while adding three rushes for 11 yards in the Browns' 41-32 loss to the Broncos on Monday night. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.
Winston's final line was a signature one for a quarterback who's always combined a high risk tolerance with ill-timed throws, a recipe for an abundance of both yardage and turnovers. Both came to fruition Monday night, with Winston impressively dissecting what had been a suffocating Denver secondary over the course of the game with a major assist from former Broncos receiver Jerry Jeudy. Winston connected with Jeudy for 235 of his 497 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown, and he also facilitated a 100-yard performance for Elijah Moore while tallying a pair of scoring tosses to David Njoku (eight and four yards) and another to Nick Chubb (five yards). However, Winston's last two interceptions snuffed out any hope of a Cleveland victory, with Ja'Quan McMillian recording the Broncos' second pick-six of the night at the 1:48 mark of the fourth quarter to expand a 34-32 lead, and Cody Barton then snagging a pass intended for Njoku in the end zone with 44 seconds remaining. Despite the unpleasant finish for Winston and the Browns, the veteran signal-caller has raised the ceiling of Cleveland's offense several notches above what it was under Deshaun Watson, but he'll have another tough assignment on paper in a Week 14 road rematch with the Steelers.
