Lamar Jackson is having an average year by putting up 18 points each week.

Very bad game for Williams as he was averaging 22 points per game before this week.

TE: Travis Kelce: 6.3 points (4 rec on 6 targets for 23 yards)
Very underwhelming game for Kelce, mostly in part of Tyreek Hill’s huge game.

Bad game for Carson as he was averaging around 15 PPG before this.
