Sunday, January 14th -

Steelers vs. Bills (Note: This game has been moved to Monday at 4:30 due to the weather.)

Buffalo Bills: Defensive End Shaq Lawson
     - The former 1st round pick from 2016 is back in Buffalo for his second stint with the Bills after a brief departure to a couple of AFC East rivals. His impact statistically has been minimal as he's only accounted for 1 sack this year but veterans like Shaq are huge for the locker room and quality depth.

Buffalo Bills: Linebacker Baylon Spector
     - The older brother of recently transferred Tiger receiver Brannon Spector, the 7th round pick has done a great job hanging around on this Bills roster, creating a role for himself. He had a season-high 4 tackles in the Bills' last regular season game against the Dolphins.

Packers vs. Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys: Safety Jayron Kearse
     - Another former 7th-round pick who's made a real career for himself and is playing in his 3rd season with the Cowboys. He's accounted for 72 total tackles this year with 1.5 sacks, 4 pass deflections, and an interception on one of the league's better defenses. Look for him to make a big play against Jordan Love this weekend.

Rams vs Lions

Los Angeles Rams: Tight End Davis Allen
     - The rookie 5th-round pick just came off of a career-high 4 catches in the Rams' last game against the 49ers. He has 1 touchdown on the season that came back in an overtime loss to the Ravens in December.

Los Angeles Rams: Offensive Guard Tremayne Anchrum Jr. 
     - With some injury issues to Kevin Dotson and Joe Noteboom, it's possible that the rookie might see some action against a formidable Lions defense. 

Monday, January 15th - Eagles vs. Buccaneers

Philadelphia Eagles: *Both cornerback Mario Goodrich and wide receiver Joseph Ngata are on the Eagles practice squad but barring any unforeseen injuries will not play this week.
