2. Kenyan Drake

Baltimore Ravens free agent pickup Kenyan Drake rushed for 119 yards (fifth-most of his career) and a touchdown on just 10 carries. Drake filled in for starting running back J.K. Dobbins after an injury. His efforts may give him a shot at the RB1 spot in Baltimore.

3. Jaylen Waddle

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle hauled in six of 10 targets for 129 yards in 24-16 loss against the Minnesota Vikings. The 2021 sixth overall pick is currently has the fifth-most receiving yards in the NFL.

4. Pat Surtain II

Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II locked up Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams all Monday night long. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had to switch the game plan because his main target was never open. "PS2" is quickly becoming a top cornerback in the NFL.

Patrick Surtain did not allow a reception in coverage for the second time in a game this season.

Surtain has allowed just 142 yards on 35 targets this season, the 2nd-fewest yards allowed in the NFL (min. 30 targets).#DENvsLAC | #BroncosCountry pic.twitter.com/50JSh6Z8tT
