How former Oregon Ducks performed in NFL Week 7 games
Those who play fantasy football already know this, but Week 7 is often a pretty quiet week around the NFL.
A good chunk of teams are on byes, leaving a smaller slate of games and, in this case, taking many of the most notable Oregon Ducks in the NFL out of action – including star quarterback Justin Herbert.
Fellow quarterback Marcus Mariota made his return to the field however, after missing the last month or so with a leg injury suffered on his first, and only, play of the season in Week 1. He returned in a specialty package for Las Vegas, carrying the ball one time for four yards.
Elsewhere around Duck-land, DeForest Buckner recorded another sack, Jevon Holland had the first sack and first two punt returns of his career for Miami, and Brady Breeze made his NFL debut with the Tennessee Titans as a member of the special teams.
