Analysis
Jones appears to have picked up a groin injury against Cleveland, exiting the contest with three total tackles (one solo) on the day. In his absence, JL Skinner and Devon Key stand to see an increase in workload at safety.
Ugo Amadi
Leading tackler Week 13

Analysis
Amadi tallied at least eight tackles for the third game in a row, finishing with the Saints' team-high in this category. The 5-foot-9 defensive back has taken on an increased role since Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) was traded to Washington on Nov. 5. Amadi has also played at least 90 percent of offensive snaps in each game since taking over as New Orleans' top nickelback. He should remain productive so long as he remains in this role moving forward.
Jamaal Williams
Grabs one pass in return
RB

Analysis
Williams reprised his role as the Saints' RB2 after missing the previous three games with a groin issue. But, that still didn't mean he would factor into their gameplan, as Alvin Kamara once again carried the load out of the backfield while playing 86 percent of offensive snaps. Do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill also featured into his usual role in the rushing game before suffering a season-ending torn ACL in the fourth quarter. With no other player capable of filling Hill's unique role in the offense, New Orleans will likely have to make up for his absence by lean on its other tight ends and rushers. This could lead to more opportunities as a short-yardage power back for the 224-pound Williams. It will be worth monitoring how he is deployed behind Kamara during this coming Sunday's road game against the Giants.
David Onyemata
Notches sack in loss

ATL

Analysis
Onyemata was able to get to Justin Herbert for his first sack since Week 5, raising his season total to 2.0 sacks over 12 games. The defensive lineman has now registered 34 total tackles (17 solo), including the 2.0 sacks, while also securing a pass defensed in 2024.
Nate Landman
Four tackles in loss
LB

ATL

Analysis
Landman played in a rotation with Troy Andersen (knee) at inside linebacker in Andersen's return to the field in Week 13, recording three more tackles than his counterpart. Landman has now recorded 56 total tackles (30 solo) and three forced fumbles over eight games in 2024 and he'll likely continue to have the edge over Andersen moving forward.
Arnold Ebiketie
Two sacks in loss
LB

ATL
•

Analysis
Ebiketie was able to record his first multi-sack performance of the year Sunday, getting to quarterback Justin Herbert twice in the loss. The linebacker played just 42 percent of the team's defensive snaps, his lowest total since Week 5, but he made the most of his opportunities. Ebiketie has now compiled 27 total tackles (19 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed over 12 games in 2024.
Matthew Stafford
Dealing with minor ankle sprain
QB

LA

Analysis
Rams coach Sean McVay didn't seem concerned Monday when mentioning Stafford's ankle issue, suggesting that the star quarterback wouldn't be restricted in practice this week or in this coming Sunday's matchup against Buffalo. A lateral sprain is the most common type of ankle sprain and occurs on the outside of the ankle, and Stafford's sprain seems to be relatively minor. The injury likely occurred in the second quarter of Sunday's victory, as Stafford was seen limping a few plays prior to sneaking for four yards on a fourth-down conversion.
Kaden Elliss
Secures sack in loss
LB
•
ATL
•

Analysis
Elliss was able to get to quarterback Justin Herbert for his first sack since Week 9 in the loss. The linebacker did see his streak of five straight games with double-digit tackles come to an end though. Elliss has now produced 103 total tackles (60 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while registering two passes defensed and a fumble recovery over 12 games in 2024.
Grant Calcaterra
Expected to start next week
TE
•
PHI
•
3hr ago
Analysis
Calcaterra typically doesn't get many looks while Goedert is on the field, so it was no surprise to see him finish without a catch in a game where Goedert was largely available. Goedert's injury doesn't appear to be season-ending but could cost him at least a week, opening up an opportunity for Calcaterra. When Goedert missed four games with a hamstring injury earlier in the year, Calcaterra averaged 3.3 catches for 40.0 yards.
