1. Rhodes closed: Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes continues to prove why he’s worth every penny of the lucrative contract extension he signed in the offseason. Opposing wide receivers haven’t had much success this season against the fifth-year Pro Bowler. In Week 1, Rhodes limited Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas to two receptions for 22 yards. In Week 2, Rhodes held Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown to three receptions for 28 yards, and in Week 3 he kept Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans to five receptions for 53 yards.
Last week, Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones only managed two receptions for 24 yards.
