Williams set a career high with four defensive stops this past week despite not having his best game in coverage. Through seven weeks, he ranks fifth among all safeties in PFF grade (89.4).
The highest-graded tight end in the NFL this season, Bowers leads all players at his position by over 100 receiving yards. He also ranks second among tight ends in yards per route run (2.26).
Daniels suffered an injury early in the Commanders' win over the Carolina Panthers, but his performance leading up to that point has positioned him as the third-highest-graded rookie in the league. The No. 2 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft boasts an 80.7% adjusted completion rate through seven weeks.
