Rams WR Cooper Kupp had an incredible Sunday Night Football performance with 14 catches (on 21 targets) for 110 yards and a TD. He stepped up after WR Puka Nacua was knocked out of the game with a knee injury causing Kupp to be the focal receiver in the offense. He helped the Rams gain a late lead, but it was not enough for the Rams to beat the Lions
Lions WR Jameson Williams broke out with five catches for 121 yards including a 52-yard TD in the third quarter. After a disappointing start to his career, Williams hitting a long TD and going nuclear in this game is a sign of a potential breakout coming this season.

The Browns' offensive struggles in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys didn't help RB Jerome Ford, but he salvaged a nice fantasy line with a rushing TD and good receiving volume.
