Who were the NFL’s top stars in Week 6? Each Wednesday, the league unveils its weekly honor roll. See who the Players of the Week are below.

AFC Offensive Player of the Week

Derrick Henry
Baltimore Ravens · RB

Henry rumbled to his second Offensive Player of the Week honor in three weeks and the third straight Ravens accolade after Lamar Jackson was lauded in Week 5. Henry rushed for 132 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries to pave the way to Baltimore’s 30-23 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

NFC Offensive Player of the Week

Sean Tucker
Tampa Bay Buccaneers · RB

Tucker broke out with a sensational dual-threat outing to help the Buccaneers blow out the New Orleans Saints, 51-27, on Sunday. Tucker averaged an astounding 9.71 yards per carry on his 14 rushing attempts, gobbling up 136 yards and a touchdown on the ground. He added three receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown.

AFC Defensive Player of the Week

Will Anderson Jr.
Houston Texans · DE

Anderson showed up in a big way on Sunday for his finest 2024 outing yet, collecting three sacks to help the Texans to a 41-21 win over the New England Patriots. In addition to his sack hat trick, Anderson piled up eight tackles and four tackles for loss.

NFC Defensive Player of the Week

Brian Branch
Detroit Lions · SAF

It wasn’t all about offense in the Lions’ lopsided 47-9 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Branch was stellar to the tune of two interceptions, a forced fumble and six tackles.

AFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Rigoberto Sanchez
Indianapolis Colts · P

In a nail-biting 20-17 Indianapolis Colts win Sunday over the Tennessee Titans, Sanchez’s contributions were massive. Of his five punts, three were inside the 20-yard line, with two inside the 10, all the while averaging 54.2 yards per punt (48.4 net).

NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Cole Kmet
Chicago Bears · TE

Kmet was a do-it-all sensation for the Bears in London on Sunday. The tight end also filled in as an emergency long snapper after Scott Daly was injured during Chicago’s 35-16 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Kmet successfully snapped all of kicker Cairo Santos‘s five made extra points, while also leading the Bears’ receiving corps with five receptions for 70 yards and two touchdowns. Thusly, after each of his TD catches, Kmet was back out with the kicking unit taking on long snapping duties to aplomb.
