RB Index, Week 14: Three teams whose 2023 starting RB isn't on the current roster (12.  Jamaal Williams (2022 stats: 12 games | 188 att | 769 rush yds | 4.1 ypc | 14 rush TD | 9 rec | 57 rec yds | 0 rec TD | 2 fumbles lost):  Williams is a touchdown magnet. He finds the end zone every week, and Week 13 was no different. He scored his 14th rushing touchdown of the season and is just two rush TDs away from tying Barry Sanders' franchise record of 16 in 1991.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/rb-index-week-14-three-teams-whose-2023-starting-rb-isn-t-on-the-current-roster

NFL Week 14 Rookie Power Rankings: Garrett Wilson rises with big performance, Kayvon Thibodeaux debuts on list (7.  DE Aidan Hutchinson:  Hutchinson is not a flashy player but he is consistent. The Lions know what they are going to get out of him in the run game and as a pass rusher.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-14-rookie-power-rankings-garrett-wilson-rises-with-big-performance-kayvon-thibodeaux-debuts-on-list/

One thing we learned about each NFL team in Week 13 (Detroit Lions - D.J. Chark significantly opened up the passing game: The Lions got the version of Chark they thought they were signing this offseason, as he finished with five catches for 98 yards in the blowout victory over the Jaguars. Chark was slowly playing his way back into the lineup after recovering from an ankle injury that landed him on injured reserve.   Because of Chark, Amon-Ra St. Brown was able to have an easy day against Jacksonville -- 11 catches for 114 yards and two touchdowns -- and Jameson Williams got his feet wet in his debut.   The Lions pass catchers are even more dangerous with Chark healthy. He showed the value he brings to the passing game.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/one-thing-we-learned-about-each-nfl-team-in-week-13-cowboys-dont-need-odell-beckham-another-bengals-weapon/

NFL QB Index, Week 14: Joe Burrow knocking on door of top three; Tom Brady doing Tom Brady things (15.  Jared Goff (2022 stats: 12 games | 64.9 pct | 3,022 pass yds | 7.5 ypa | 19 pass TD | 7 INT | 42 rush yds | 0 rush TD | 5 fumbles):  Goff's oft-sturdy effort against Buffalo on Thanksgiving Day was snowed under by his ugly late-game missed connection with D.J. Chark. No such malarkey unfolded in Sunday's utter destruction of Jacksonville's defense. Goff embarrassed the Jaguars with a rash of big-boy throws to Chark and Amon-Ra St. Brown. The latter would be a household name if he played in Dallas. Who cares about the Cowboys, though, when the Lions freight train comes rumbling downhill to separate anything in its way? Goff is a week-to-week proposition that leaves coaches and fans with a wandering eye, but there's no arguing his production in Detroit's well-suited attack.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-qb-index-week-14-2022-season-rankings

QB Power Rankings: Burrow just behind Hurts, Mahomes (15. QB Jared Goff:  There might not be a more underrated QB in terms of 2022 production. Goff has his limits when under pressure, but he's been a decisive distributor for their assortment of weapons, namely Amon-Ra St. Brown. There are shades of Chiefs-era Alex Smith here, for a spicy team.

QB Power Rankings 2022: Dak Prescott and Joe Burrow Rise, Tom Brady Falls (2022 QB Power Rankings | Tier 5: Concerning - 28. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions:  Goff doesn’t get very much credit for what he does with the Lions, and though he’s not an incredible quarterback, he’s not an afterthought either.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/qb-power-rankings-2022/
