Jefferson posted 12 tackles (eight solo), two forced fumbles, and one pass defended in Sunday's domination of the Lions.
Jefferson was involved in two of the Lions' four first-half turnovers, the last of which resulted in the Cardinals' fourth touchdown of the second quarter. He was otherwise around the ball frequently, as Detroit's one-dimensional offense racked up 70 pass attempts, handing a number of tackle opportunities to the Cards' secondary. Still, he logged 72 of 95 defensive snaps (76 percent), which was a slight boost in his usage (64 percent) from the first four games of the season, meaning his output is likely dependent on the opponent on a weekly basis.
Tue Oct 13 201513:14Melvin released by Ravens on TuesdayRashaan MelvinCBRavensFree Agent
Melvin was released by the Ravens on Tuesday.
A 2013 UDFA, Melvin surprisingly ended up making starts last season, as the Ravens defensive backfield was decimated by injuries. He turned in a couple of nice performances, before Tom Brady and the New England offense picked on him relentlessly in a playoff game. Melvin made just one appearance this season, and he got the same treatment from Andy Dalton and the Bengals. It's not a great sign for Melvin's NFL future that he was released by a team whose biggest weakness corresponds with his position.

Kuechly practiced Tuesday for the first time since suffering a concussion in Week 1.
The Panthers announced Tuesday morning that Kuechly was cleared to return to practice, and he was able to suit up and take part in drills the same day. Kuechly should be able to play in the Panthers' Week 6 matchup with the Seahawks barring any setbacks over the next few days, but it remains to be seen if he will be ready for a full workload after missing a month of action.
Tue Oct 13 201513:09Babin released by Ravens on TuesdayJason BabinLBJetsFree Agent
Babin was released by the Ravens on Tuesday.
The Ravens were desperate for help at outside linebacker after Terrell Suggs (Achilles) suffered a season-ending injury, but Babin ultimately just made things worse, with his primary impact coming via careless penalties. Given how poorly he played, the 35-year-old Babin may not get another shot in the NFL.

Powers accrued a team-high 12 tackles (10 solo) and one sack during Sunday's victory in Detroit.
Powers entered the game with just 15 tackles to his name, but the quarterback combination of Matthew Stafford and Dan Orlovsky attempted a whopping 70 passes, skewing the statistics for the benefit of those in the Cardinals' secondary. While Powers may be involved in additional blowouts as the season unfolds, no opponent will likely employ such a blatant one-sided attack, as the Lions rank 32nd in rushing by a large margin. Nonetheless, he's played all but five defensive snaps this season, so he's apt to be a frequent contributor to the box score in such a playmaking defense.

Head coach Dan Quinn believes Jones (hamstring) will be able to play in Thursday's game against the Saints, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Jones sat out Monday's practice and will likely be listed as either limited or a non-participant Tuesday, but Quinn's comments provide reason for optimism nonetheless. Jones' status figures to remain uncertain for a couple more days, and it seems likely that a final call on his availability for Thursday's game will not be made until game day.

Catanzaro notched six extra points during Sunday's win at Detroit.
Catanzaro has received an NFL-high 24 point-after attempts this season, which is six more than the next closest kicker (the Bengals' Mike Nugent). The Cardinals have so far been incredibly efficient in the red-zone, scoring a touchdown in 77.3 percent of their red-zone visits. As a result, Catanzaro has been afforded only seven field goal tries, five of which occurred in Week 4's tight loss to the Rams, but he's nonetheless succeeded on all but one kick (an extra point in Week 2) in 2015.

Boswell converted 3-of-3 extra points and his lone field goal attempt (47) in Pittsburgh's 24-20 win over San Diego on Monday.
Boswell is the Steelers' fourth kicker this season, and was playing in his first NFL game, which may have been a factor in to Coach Mike Tomlin's decision to go for the touchdown on the final play of the game, rather than a field goal to send the contest to overtime. Fortunately, it worked out for Pittsburgh and Le'Veon Bell owners, but was a reminder to fantasy owners to avoid the Steelers' kicking game for now.
Tue Oct 13 201512:28Heyward-Bey had two catches for 24 yards in Steelers' 24-20 win ...Darrius Heyward-BeyWRSteelersFree Agent
Heyward-Bey had two catches for 24 yards in the Steelers' 24-20 win over the Chargers on Monday.
DHB tied Antonio Brown with a team-high six targets, but didn't have a reception until Pittsburgh's final drive, which culminated with Le'Veon Bell's game winning 1-yard touchdown run as time expired. His fantasy value likely takes a hit when Martavis Bryant returns to action.
Tue Oct 13 201512:28Miller caught 3-of-3 targets for 46 yards in Pittsburgh's 24-20 ...Heath MillerTESteelersFree Agent
Miller caught 3-of-3 targets for 46 yards in Pittsburgh's 24-20 win over San Diego on Monday.
Used primarily as a blocker, Miller made the most of his opportunities, including a 16-yard reception to the Chargers' one yard line, setting up Le'Veon Bell's game winning 1-yard touchdown run as time expired. Miller joins Hines Ward as the only players in franchise history to record at least one catch in 102 consecutive regular-season games.

Blake totaled two tackles (both solo) and an interception in Pittsburgh's 24-20 win over San Diego on Monday.
Blake recorded the first pick-six of his career when he intercepted Philip Rivers and returned it 70 yards for a touchdown to give the Steelers a 10-7 lead late in the third quarter.

Williams rushed five times for 20 yards in the Steelers' 24-20 win over the Chargers on Monday.
Heading in to the game, Offensive Coordinator Todd Haley indicated that Williams would be more involved in the offense, but Le'Veon Bell was clearly the main weapon on the ground with 21 carries for 111 yards and a touchdown. Bell was also targeted five times in the passing game, while Williams was not targeted. Williams is a solid runner but, from a fantasy perspective, offers little more than insurance in the event Bell is injured.
Tue Oct 13 201512:14Johnson agreed to contract with Bills on TuesdayJosh JohnsonQBBengalsFree Agent
Johnson agreed to a contract with the Bills on Tuesday.
After spending the last two weeks as quarterback insurance for the Colts, Johnson will head to Buffalo to do the same. Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor (ankle) is banged up and uncertain to play this week, and if he is unable to go, EJ Manuel would start for the Bills and Johnson would serve as Manual's backup.
Tue Oct 13 201511:47McCourty on field for all 72 defensive snaps in Sunday's 30-6 wi...Devin McCourtyDBPatriotsFree Agent
McCourty was on the field for all 72 defensive snaps in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Cowboys, ESPN.com reports.
McCourty recorded a season-high eight tackles in the process, bringing his overall total in four games to 21, to go along with one pick.
Tue Oct 13 201511:44Collins on field for all 72 defensive snaps in Sunday's 30-6 win...Jamie CollinsLBPatriotsFree Agent
Collins was on the field for all 72 defensive snaps in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Cowboys, ESPN.com reports.
In the process, Collins notched 10 tackles and a forced fumble in the contest. Overall, the linebacker has put up a solid fantasy stat line that includes 32 tackles, 3.5 sacks and three forced fumbles in four games to date.
Tue Oct 13 201511:40White on field for just 2 of 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-...James WhiteRBPatriotsFree Agent
White was on the field for just 2 of 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Cowboys, ESPN.com reports.
White is decidedly behind both Dion Lewis and LeGarrette Blount in the Patriots' running back pecking order, though if Lewis suffers an injury down the road, White would be worth scooping up in PPR formats.
Tue Oct 13 201511:37Chandler on field for just 10 of 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's...Scott ChandlerTEPatriotsFree Agent
Chandler was on the field for just 10 of 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Cowboys, ESPN.com reports. He was not targeted in the contest.
Per the report, the Patriots spent much of Sunday's game using three-wide receiver sets, but the fact remains that Chandler is a hit-or-miss fantasy option, whose utility hinges on occasional trips to the end zone.
Tue Oct 13 201511:33Martin on field for 50 of 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-6 w...Keshawn MartinWRTexansFree Agent
Martin was on the field for 50 of 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Cowboys, ESPN.com reports.
In the process, Martin caught both of his targets for 23 yards. For now, it looks like he has overtaken Aaron Dobson in the Patriots' wideout pecking order, though generally the team's three most reliable fantasy options in the passing game are WR Julian Edelman, TE Rob Gronkowski and RB Dion Lewis.
Tue Oct 13 201511:26Gostkowski made all three of field goal attempts -- including ca...Stephen GostkowskiKPatriotsFree Agent
Gostkowski made all three of his field goal attempts -- including a career-long 57 yarder -- en route to a 12-point effort in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Cowboys.
With the Patriots now past their bye week, Gostkowski is a reliable lineup option moving forward. Through four games, he has recorded a fantasy-friendly 47 points, while making all 10 of his field goal attempts.
Tue Oct 13 201510:39Kuechly (concussion) cleared to return to practiceLuke KuechlyLBPanthersFree Agent
Kuechly (concussion) has been cleared to return to practice, ESPN reports.
Kuechly has not played since the Panthers' opener against Jacksonville, a game left in the first half after suffering a concussion. The middle linebacker has since been in the NFL's concussion protocol and was finally cleared Tuesday after a full month of the shelf. While Kuechly is expected to return to the field in Week 6, coach Ron Rivera noted that he may have a reduced workload. "We've got four good days of practice on tap and we'll see how his conditioning is," defensive coordinator Sean McDermott said. "Luke's a highly conditioned athlete. He's been staying involved the whole way, or as much as he could have. And he had a bye week. We'll just take it one day at a time."
