A notable bright spot for the 49ers amid a rash of injuries to key stars, receiver Jauan Jennings has emerged from the shadows of his more well-known teammates this season by posting career highs in receptions and yards. 

Kerby Joseph is establishing himself as one of the league's premier safeties on a stout Lions defense. The third-year defensive back has hauled in a league-high seven interceptions in a breakout 2024 campaign. 

Replacing future Hall of Fame center Jason Kelce is no easy task, but Jurgens has quickly adapted to spearhead the Eagles' stalwart offensive line. 

Adept at rushing the passer and dropping back into coverage, Andrew Van Ginkel is one of only three players to record at least eight sacks and two pick-6s in the same season. 

While the Bills' offense runs through Josh Allen, Khalil Shakir has been the star QB’s favorite target this season. The rising third-year wideout is second in the NFL in yards after the catch and leads Buffalo in receptions and yardage. 

Tarheeb Still has provided an immediate impact in the Chargers' secondary. The 22-year-old has stepped up for L.A. amid injuries throughout the season, leading the team with eight passes defended and three interceptions. 

Zack Baun has exceeded all expectations after signing a one-year deal with the Eagles. The 27-year-old linebacker has eclipsed virtually every statistical category and leads the league with 52 defensive stops, per PFF.
