#StanfordNFL: Week 7

Henry Anderson • DE • Indianapolis Colts • Second season • @HenryAnderson91

Anderson was not active for Indianapolis' 34-26 win at Tennessee on Sunday.


Johnson Bademosi • CB/ST • Detroit Lions • Fifth season • @J_Bademosi24

Bademosi was busy in Detroit's 20-17 win against Washington on Sunday, appearing in a season-high 70 percent of defensive snaps. He finished the day with five tackles and one pass defended after replacing injured Darius Slay in the first half. Slay's status for Week 8 is unclear, so either Bademosi or former Cardinal Alex Carter, who is currently on Detroit's practice squad, could see significant snaps next weekend.


Doug Baldwin • WR • Seattle Seahawks • Sixth season • @DougBaldwinJr

Baldwin played 62 of 63 offensive snaps in a 6-6 tie at Arizona on Sunday night. He caught six balls for 69 yards, both team-highs, and was targeted nine times. His 72.7 grade from Pro Football Focus was the highest on the Seahawks' offense.

David DeCastro • G • Pittsburgh Steelers • Fifth season

DeCastro started and played all 73 offensive snaps in Pittsburgh's 27-16 loss at New England. His 79.0 clip from Pro Football Focus was the highest of any Steelers' offensive player.

Zach Ertz • TE • Philadelphia Eagles • Fourth season • @ZErtz_86

Ertz was on the field for 83 percent of offensive plays in a 21-10 win over the previously-undefeated Minnesota Vikings. Ertz caught one of three targets for 14 yards as he continues to work his way back into the offense after an injury.

Coby Fleener • TE • New Orleans Saints • Fifth season • @Coby

Fleener was somewhat held in check during New Orleans' 27-21 loss at Kansas City. However, he caught a 30-yard pass from Drew Brees in the second quarter, the Saints' longest play from scrimmage, finishing with two catches for 44 yards on two targets. New Orleans hosts Seattle in Week 7.

Cameron Fleming • TE • New England Patriots • Third season • @cammyjfresh

Fleming played four special teams snaps in New England's 27-16 win against Pittsburgh.

Joshua Garnett • G • San Francisco 49ers • First season • @IamJoshG

Garnett started and played all 70 offensive snaps in a 34-17 loss against Tampa Bay. Head coach Chip Kelly praised Garnett's work ethic heading in the matchup, acknowledging the rookie's improvement. A bright spot against Tampa Bay was his +3.6 run blocking grade, per Pro Football Focus.

Ryan Hewitt • TE/FB • Cincinnati Bengals • Third season • @Huey85

Hewitt appeared on 20 percent of offensive snaps and 48 percent of special teams snaps in a 31-17 win against Cleveland. Hewitt made the most of his time on the field, helping the Bengals rush for 271 yards on 30 carries for a 9.0 yards/rush average and two touchdowns. Cincinnati hosts Washington next week, which has allowed the sixth-most rushing yards in the league this season at 5.0 yards per carry.

Kevin Hogan • QB • Cleveland Browns • First Season • @KHoagie8

The story of the game for Cleveland in a 31-17 loss was Kevin Hogan, who took over for an injured Cody Kessler after starting the game as an occasional change-of-pace substitute. Hogan, who had three carries for 37 yards until Kessler got hurt, finished the day with 104 rushing yards on seven attempts and a 28-yard score, the longest rushing touchdown by a quarterback in franchise history. Hogan's 12 for 24 performance for 100 yards and two interceptions will have to improve if he is to keep the starting job, but his 95.8 rushing grade from Pro Football Focus makes for an exciting start to his NFL career. As of Tuesday morning, Hogan sat atop the Browns' depth chart at quarterback.

Austin Hooper • TE • Atlanta Falcons • First season • @AustinHooper18

Hooper appeared on 23 percent of offensive snaps and 52 percent of special teams snaps in Atlanta's 33-30 loss against San Diego. He finished the day with one special teams tackle.

Andrew Luck • QB • Indianapolis Colts • Fifth season • @ALBookClub

Luck is earning every penny of the six-year, $140 million extension he signed with Indianapolis this past offseason, and it was on full display during a 34-26 win at Tennessee on Sunday. Luck went 27-for-39 passing for 353 yards, three touchdowns and a 123.1 quarterback rating. He added 17 rushing yards to his game-high 85.8 rating from Pro Football Focus, who rates Luck as the top-rated quarterback in the league this season. Luck's cumulative +18.6 overall rating from PFF is well ahead of second-place Tom Brady (+12.9), while his top-ranked +15.3 pass rating sits comfortably above Derek Carr (+11.5) and Drew Brees (+11.3).

Blake Martinez • ILB • Green Bay Packers • First season • @Big__Blake50

Martinez had a breakout performance against Chicago on Thursday night, helping Green Bay win, 26-10. The rookie fourth-rounder intercepted a Matt Barkley pass in the fourth quarter to help seal victory, his second pass defended of the game. He played 73 percent of defensive snaps -- the most of any non-defensive back -- and finished with a team-high five tackles. Martinez's 86.3 grade from Pro Football Focus was the highest of any player in the contest.

Josh Mauro • DE/DL • Arizona Cardinals • Third season • @JustJoshin90

Mauro started and played 33 percent of defensive snaps in Arizona's 6-6 overtime tie against Seattle on Sunday night. He made two tackles, including one for loss, while helping limit Seattle to 52 rushing yards on 19 carries.

Ty Montgomery • WR/KR • Green Bay Packers • Second season • @TyMontgomery2

Of any Packer not named Aaron Rodgers, no one had the ball in his hands more than Montgomery in Green Bay's 26-10 win against Chicago on Thursday night. Montgomery hauled in 10 of 13 targets for 66 yards while rushing for another 60 on nine attempts. The first player to record back-to-back games with 10 catches in 2016, Montgomery has quickly become one of Green Bay's most indispensable players. 

Kyle Murphy • T • Green Bay Packers • First season • @KyleMurphy78

Murphy was inactive for Green Bay's 26-10 win against Chicago on Thursday night.

Trent Murphy • DE/OLB • Washington Redskins • Third season • @TMurphy_93

Washington's four-game winning streak was snapped when it lost 20-17 at Detroit on Sunday. Murphy finished the day with two tackles, including one sack and one forced fumble, on 31 (58 percent) defensive snaps. Trent Murphy had his sixth consecutive game with at least one half sack, giving him six on the season, which ties him with teammate Ryan Kerrigan for sixth-most in the league. With another strong grade from Pro Football Focus (79.7), Murphy is the 12th-rated 3-4 outside linebacker in the league out of 55 eligible players.

David Parry • DT/NG • Indianapolis Colts • Second season • @DavidParry58

Parry started and played 56 percent of defensive snaps in Indianapolis' 34-26 win at Tennessee. He finished the day with three tackles for the 3-4 Colts, who host Kansas City in Week 8.

Andrus Peat • T/G • New Orleans Saints • Second season • @AndrusPeat

Peat was held out of New Orleans' 27-21 loss at Kansas City after sustaining a leg injury in Week 6.

Jordan Richards • S • New England Patriots • Second season

Richards was inactive for New England's 27-16 win against Pittsburgh.

Shayne Skov • LB • San Francisco 49ers • Second season • @ShayneSkov

Skov was in on 90 percent of special teams snaps as San Francisco lost to Tampa Bay, 31-17. He finished the day with one solo tackle on special teams. It remains to be seen when Skov will be given a chance on defense after the 49ers gave up a further 249 rushing yards on 41 carries. San Francisco has allowed 1,296 yards on the ground this season, over 300 more than the next closest team.

Stepfan Taylor • RB/ST • Arizona Cardinals • Fourth season • @KULABAFI

Taylor played one offensive snap and 63 percent of special teams snaps in Arizona's 6-6 tie against Seattle.

Michael Thomas • S • Miami Dolphins • Fourth season • @Michael31Thomas

Thomas was the only Dolphins defender to play all 57 snaps in a 28-25 win against Buffalo. He finished with three tackles and one special teams stop, helping limit Buffalo to just 267 yards of total offense. Miami heads into its bye week at 3-4 with the New York Jets visiting South Beach for Week 9.

Levine Toilolo • TE • Atlanta Falcons • Fourth season • @LevineToilolo

Toilolo was in on 51 percent of offensive snaps in Atlanta's 33-30 loss against San Diego. He caught his only target for five yards while helping the Falcons rush for 130 yards on 26 carries.

Griff Whalen • WR • San Diego Chargers • Fourth season • @GriffWhalen

Whalen played nine offensive snaps in San Diego's 33-30 win at Atlanta on Sunday, catching his only target for 12 yards. Whalen added two kickoff returns for 19 yards as the Chargers won their second-consecutive game to improve to 3-4.
