Thomas Gafford (DEN): Gafford continues to be solid as the Broncos long snapper in the Broncos 13-10 loss to the Titans. The Broncos made their only FG (34), XP, and had 5 punts for a 41.4 average with 2 downed inside the 20. Gafford also made a tackle in the game.
Kenneth Farrow (SD): Farrow saw a huge increase in his workload this week due to Melvin Gordon’s injury in the Chargers 28-16 loss to the Panthers. Farrow ran 16 times for 55 yards and caught 6 passes on 6 targets for 23 yards. Gordon is day-to-day with knee and hip strains and his status is unknown for next week; if he’s out, Farrow will probably share the load with Ronnie Hillman.
Nolan Frese (SEA): Frese did a good job in the Seahawks 38-10 loss to the Packers. Seattle was 1/1 on FG (28), 1/1 on XP, and had 4 punts for a 36.0 avg with 2 downed inside the 20.
Case Keenum (LA): Case didn’t see action in the Rams 42-14 loss to the Falcons. Jared Goff again struggled: 24-41 235 yards 0 TD 2 INT and sacked 3 times while rushing once for a 2 yard TD. Jeff Fisher was fired Monday as the Rams continued their late season slide.
Elandon Roberts (NE): Roberts was questionable this week with a hanstring injury and didn’t record any significant stats (may not have played) in the Patriots 30-23 win over the Ravens Monday night
Charles Sims (TB): Sims returned from IR in the Bucs 16-11 win over the Saints. Sims had 4 carries for 17 yards and 3 catches on 4 targets for 33 yards.
Injured Reserve: William Jackson III (Cin), Sebastian Vollmer (NE), DJ Hayden (Oak)

- On Monday, the Steelers announced that DeMarcus Ayers had been signed off the Practice Squad.
- If Cincy had brought back William Jackson III a couple of weeks ago and DJ Hayden hadn’t gotten hurt last week, all 4 games would have had one Coog facing another Coog this coming week.
