Jonathan Babineaux, DT, Atlanta Falcons
Babineux recorded one tackle for the Falcons as they dropped their first game of 2015 31-21 to New Orleans.
Bryan Bulaga, OT, Green Bay Packers
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was sacked three times in the win over San Diego. That said, Green Bay averaged 7.6 yards per offensive play.
Scott Chandler, TE, New England Patriots
Chandler had two catches for 39 yards as the Patriots stayed undefeated with their win over the Colts.
Adrian Clayborn, DE, Atlanta Falcons
Recorded his second sack of 2015 in loss to the Saints.
Colin Cole, DL, Carolina Panthers
The Panthers stayed undefeated with their win in Seattle, but Cole had little impact.
Carl Davis, DL, Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens are 1-5, and Davis isn’t seeing the field on defense too often.
Andrew Donnal, OT, St. Louis Rams
Won’t play unless injuries demand it.
Mike Daniels, DE, Green Bay Packers
Credited with 0.5 sacks, Daniels and Green Bay’s front seven stifled San Diego in the run, but gave quarterback Phillip Rivers a lot of time to throw from the pocket.
James Ferentz, C, Denver Broncos
Reserve duty for Ferentz.
C.J. Fiedorowicz, TE, Houston Texans
Fiedorowicz had one catch in Houston’s win over Jacksonville. This season he has seven for 74 yards (after having four for 28 in 2014).
Bradley Fletcher, CB, FA
Pro Football Focus actually rated Fletcher as an above average corner before the season. Now, the former Hawkeye is looking for work.
Chad Greenway, LB, Minnesota Vikings
The Vikes might be phasing Greenway out in Minnesota for younger, cheaper talent. The veteran recorded no tackles in Sunday’s win over Kansas City.
Anthony Hitchens, LB, Dallas Cowboys
Bye week for the Cowboys.
Micah Hyde, DB, Green Bay Packers
Filling in for the injured Morgan Burnett at safety, Hyde led the Packers with nine tackles and kept tight ends Antonio Gates and Ladarius Green relatively contained on Sunday. That said, Rivers threw for over 500 yards on the day.
Christian Kirksey, LB, Cleveland Browns
Nine total tackles for Kirksey on Sunday. The second-year linebacker could see his role increase as the season goes on.
Karl Klug, DE, Tennessee Titans
No tackles for the reserve lineman on Sunday.
Brandon Myers, TE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Bye week.
Riley Reiff, OT, Detroit Lions
Congratulations to the Lions, who won their first game of the season on Sunday. The offense put up 546 total yards. Over 400 came through the air, as Matthew Stafford stayed upright for most of the game.
Brandon Scherff, OG, Washington Redskins
Washington ran for just 34 yards against a stout Jets defensive front. If this team can’t run, it won’t have much success in 2015. However, the NFC East is still wide open.
Matt Tobin, OT, Philadelphia Eagles
Plays tonight against the Giants.
Marshal Yanda, OG, Baltimore Ravens
He signed a four-year extension that will keep him in Baltimore through the 2019 season. But right now, the running game in Baltimore is holding back its offense.
