Standout Performers
Hooper was excellent in Atlanta's 27-7 win against Dallas on Sunday, catching all six of his targets for 49 yards and one touchdown. Appearing on 83 percent of offensive snaps, he tied with Julio Jones for the Falcons' most receptions while earning an exceptional +1.4 run-blocking rating. Hooper's 86.7 grade from Pro Football Focus was the highest of any offensive player in the game by nearly three percentage points.
Martinez's streak of games with double-digit tackles ended in Green Bay's 23-16 win at Chicago, but he still finished as one of Pro Football Focus' highest-rated players (85.7). He finished with two quarterback hurries, one tackle, two run stops, and allowed just one catch for four yards in coverage. Martinez has played 350 of 355 possible snaps over the past four games, and his 84.5 season grade from PFF ranks eighth in the NFL.
McCaffrey logged the first multi-touchdown game of his career in Carolina's 45-21 win against Miami on Monday night. Starting and appearing on 58 percent of offensive snaps, McCaffrey carried the ball five times for 23 yards and one touchdown, and led Panthers receivers with seven targets on his way to three catches and one touchdown. He also forced four missed tackles, earning himself an 85.5 grade from Pro Football Focus, which was the highest of any offensive player in the game.
Montgomery was highly productive in limited snaps during Green Bay's 23-16 win at Chicago, rushing for 54 yards and one touchdown. Appearing on 21 percent of offensive snaps, the versatile third-year player carried the ball six times and caught both of his targets for 14 yards. Since an injury early in the season, Montgomery has shared backfield duties with rookies Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams -- Montgomery could be limited in Week 11, having re-aggravated the ribs injury.
Andrus Peat • T/G • New Orleans Saints • Third season • @AndrusPeat
Peat had perhaps his best performance of the season in Sunday's 47-10 win at Buffalo, helping the Saints win their seventh in a row after a 0-2 start. Peat gave up zero quarterback pressures while playing all 77 snaps, and helped the Saints rush for a mammoth 298 yards on 48 attempts (6.2 average). The Saints' 1,280 rushing yards ranks third in the league, while their 4.6 yards per carry ranks fourth.
Scarlett recorded his first two NFL sacks in Houston's 33-7 loss at the Los Angeles Rams, bringing down former Cal teammate Jared Goff twice on the same drive. He finished with four solo tackles, including three for loss, and appeared on 62 percent of the Texans' defensive snaps and 71 percent of special teams snaps.

Baldwin finished Seattle's 22-16 win over Arizona on Thursday night with double the yards (95) of any other Seahawks receiver, including a game-changing 54-yard completion from Russell Wilson in the final quarter. Catching five of six targets, Baldwin's 82.1 grade from Pro Football Focus was the highest of any Seattle offensive player. On the season, Baldwin's 89.0 grade from PFF ranks only behind Antonio Brown (89.9) among NFL receivers.

DeCastro started and played every snap in Pittsburgh's 20-17 win at Indianapolis on Sunday. He did not allow any quarterback pressures on 33 pass blocking snaps – on the season, DeCastro's 98.1 pass-blocking efficiency ranks only behind first-team All-Pro guard Zack Martin.

Since then, Seattle leads the NFL in opposition QBR (49.4), yards allowed per game (300.1) and passing yards allowed per game (203.6). In his final performance of 2017, Sherman was typically excellent, allowing one catch for 18 yards and defending one pass on four targets.
