Dalvin Cook, RB, Vikings
Cook started strong against the Detroit Lions, rushing 17 times for 96 yards and a touchdown. Following the touchdown, he exited the game with a shoulder injury. Cook reached 5,000 career rushing yards, becoming the fifth Viking to reach that milestone.
Josh Sweat, DE, Eagles
Sweat and the Eagles' defense dominated the Washington Commanders as he had three tackles and 1.5 sacks. Sweat has recorded a sack in back-to-back games.
Jalen Ramsey, DB, Rams
Ramsey held his ground against the Arizona Cardinals with eight tackles, a tackle for loss, and two passes defended.
Jameis Winston, QB, Saints
Winston was 25-41 for 353 yards, one passing touchdown, and two interceptions. He also fumbled twice but both were recovered in a loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Cam Akers, RB, Rams
Akers was in need of a strong performance against the Arizona Cardinals and by rushing 12 times for 61 yards and a touchdown, the young back seems to be getting more integrated into the offense. He had a bad fumble on the goal line as he reached to score but it was punched out of his hand, plays like that will hurt Akers' case to be the feature back.
Asante Samuel Jr, DB, Chargers
Samuel was busy all game as the Jacksonville Jaguars put up 38 points on the Chargers' defense. He had four tackles and pass defended.
Derwin James, S, Chargers
James recorded nine tackles, a quarterback hurry and a pass defended.
Honorable Mentions:
Jets DE, Jermaine Johnson had four tackles and a tackle for loss.
