Impressive: Garoppolo has won five of his eight starts with the 49ers this season. He’s completed 67% of his passes for 2,159 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions. - Garoppolo is loved in San Francisco — but the team is expected to move forward with the younger and more physically gifted Trey Lance, who should be fully recovered from an ACL tear by the start of next season. Interesting: An executive with an unnamed NFL team told Breer that scouts flagged Wilson as “spoiled and entitled” during the pre-draft process and were concerned that he was not elected a captain by his BYU teammates during his final college season. Seven: Wilson has seven games left on the schedule to win back the Jets’ trust — though his starting job is already in jeopardy. Image: Rich von Biberstein/Icon Sportswire Henderson [Darrell Henderson] Rams waive RB Darrell Henderson Details: Henderson started this past Sunday but only played four snaps. He will be [subject]( to waivers. Stats: The 2019 third-rounder has totaled 385 scrimmage yards (283 rushing, 102 receiving) and 3 touchdowns on 87 touches (4.6 yards per touch) this season. He’s started 28 games over the past four seasons. - The Rams rank 31st in rushing (76.1 yards per game). Impact: Sean McVay is content to move forward with Cam Akers and Kyren Williams at the position. - Williams led all Rams’ running backs in snaps last week and is averaging 5.6 yards per carry. - Akers is coming off his best performance of the year (61 yards on 14 carries). Interest? Henderson is only 25 years old and figures to find a new home between now and the end of the season. Also Cut: The Rams also waived LB Justin Hollins, who started five games earlier in the season. Image: George Walker/Icon Sportswire Darnold [Sam Darnold] Sam Darnold to start vs. Broncos; Panthers expected to draft a QB in 2023 Details: The decision to start Darnold was based on Baker Mayfield’s poor performance in Week 11. - Mayfield threw two interceptions and failed to lead a touchdown drive in the Panthers’ 13-3 loss to the Ravens. Review: Darnold went 4-7 as the Panthers’ starter last season. He averaged 210.6 yards, 0.75 touchdowns, and 1.08 interceptions per game. 2023: ESPN’s David Newton [writes]( that the Panthers are expected to select a quarterback in the first round of next year’s draft. - Darnold, Mayfield, and P.J. Walker are not under contract in 2023. - Top quarterback prospects include Bryce Young (Alabama), C.J. Stroud (Ohio State), and Will Levis (Kentucky). - If the season ended today, the Panthers would have the No. 2 pick. Image: Dannie Walls/Icon Sportswire Ravens [Kyle Hamilton] Ravens S Kyle Hamilton and C Tyler Linderbaum among PFF’s highest graded rookies in Week 11 Hamilton: Hamilton, a first-round pick, earned an elite 91.3 PFF grade against the Panthers. Michael Renner [writes]( that the rookie has “officially found his niche as the screen-eraser in the slot for the Ravens defense.” - Hamilton only allowed 1 catch for 2 yards on 4 targets last week. - Since moving to a slot-based role in Week 8, Hamilton has a 90.8 grade. Linderbaum: Linderbaum, the Ravens’ other first-round pick, earned a 69.3 PFF grade against Carolina. The former Iowa Hawkeye is the fifth-highest-graded-run-blocking center in the NFL since Week 6. Ojabo: Baltimore’s second-round pick, OLB David Ojabo, could make his long-awaited debut this week against the Jaguars. - Ojabo was considered a first-round talent before tearing his Achilles during the pre-draft process. - He’ll bolster a Ravens’ pass rush that ranks ninth in sacks (31). Image: Fred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire Bucs [Tom Brady] Mike Florio thinks the Bucs could run the table Details: Florio [put]( the Bucs (5-5) at No. 13 in his Week 12 power rankings and wrote… - “Two years ago, they ran the table after a bye. It could happen again.” Losing: Five of the Bucs’ seven remaining opponents have a losing record — Week 12: Browns (3-7), Week 13: Saints (4-7), Week 16: Cardinals (4-7), Week 17: Panthers (3-8), and Week 18: Falcons (5-6). Winning: Only two of the Bucs’ remaining opponents have a winning record — Week 14: 49ers (6-4) and Week 15: Bengals (6-4). - The San Francisco matchup could preview a future playoff meeting and carries the juicy Tom Brady vs. Jimmy Garoppolo storyline. Signs of Progress: The Bucs’ are on a two-game winning streak. The success has been fueled by the emergence of rookie RB Rachaad White and the re-emergence of LB Devin White (who struggled in October). WRs: Tom Brady’s receiver corps should be at its strongest coming off the bye — as Chris Godwin (knee), Julio Jones (knee), and Russell Gage (hamstring) needed the extra rest to heal up. Godwin, who tore his ACL less than a year ago, is getting close to full health. Image: Beautiful Sports/Imago/Icon Sportswire Chiefs [Skyy Moore] Chiefs RB Isaiah Pacheco and WR Skyy Moore expected to retain offensive roles Pacheco: Pacheco rushed for a career-high 107 yards on 15 carries (7.1 ypc) in the Chiefs’ thrilling win over the Chargers. The undrafted rookie has “solidified himself as the featured back” and is [expected]( to start for the remainder of the season. Moore: Moore caught 5 passes for 63 yards on Sunday night. He led all Chiefs’ receivers in targets with 6. - The Athletic’s Nate Taylor expects Moore to have an offensive role moving forward. - The rookie second-rounder was efficient working the short and intermediate areas of the field and even beat All-Pro S Derwin James one-on-one. More Chiefs News... - Travis Kelce is on track for 18.7 receiving touchdowns this season — the NFL record for a tight end is 18 (Rob Gronkowski). - With Clyde Edwards-Helaire out with a high ankle sprain, Ronald Jones could see his first action of the season this week.
