Fantasy Impact: Following Thursday's win over the Cowboys, it was feared that Branch had sustained an Achilles injury. That was confirmed after further testing Friday morning. The Pro-Bowl safety will miss the rest of the season.

David Montgomery made the most of his limited opportunities in Thursday night's 44-30 victory over the Cowboys, rushing six times for 60 yards and a touchdown. He also caught his lone target for a 13-yard gain.

Fantasy Impact: For the fourth consecutive game, Montgomery was held to single-digit carries, but he delivered his most productive yardage total during that stretch thanks to a 35-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. With the performance, the veteran running back surpassed 600 rushing yards for the season and has now found the end zone in back-to-back contests. He will look to maintain his scoring streak in Week 15 against the Rams.
