Keeping up with #ProJackets in the NFL after Week 9 of action.
Darren Waller delivered a vintage performance for Carolina, hauling in eight catches for 90 yards and a touchdown in a hard-fought loss to Denver (26-21). It was Waller’s 10th career game with at least eight catches and his eighth career game with at least 90 yards and a touchdown, his first since 2023. Waller leads the Panthers with four touchdown catches this season, giving him 582 yards and 10 touchdowns in the 17 games since coming back from retirement, last summer.
Zeek Biggers enjoyed his most productive game of the season for the Miami Dolphins, recording his first sack and finishing with three total tackles, finishing as the second highest rated defensive player for Miami with a 71.9 rating on Pro Football Focus after posting his second straight week with multiple QB pressures.
Keylan Rutledge continues to impress in his rookie season with the Texans. The All-American first round pick has played every offensive snap for Houston at left guard and this past week, he graded out as the 2nd best lineman on the team as the Texans have now rattled off a 3-1 record in their last four games.
Juanyeh Thomas served as special teams captain for the Dallas Cowboys this past week in a 27-23 victory. Thomas was picked up by the Cowboys during Week 4 and has risen up the ranks to earning the Captain “C” after just five games. He recorded a pair of tackles and was once again rated among the top five special teams players for Dallas according to PFF.
