Here is the rundown of how every Pro Hog fared in Week 8.

A.J. Derby
Hauled in two of three targets for 21 yards, including an 11-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter of Monday’s game with the Chiefs. Derby ranks 26th among NFL tight ends with 17 receptions, 22nd with 211 yards and tied for 15th with two touchdowns.

Alex Collins
Collins ran wild on the Miami Dolphins on Thursday, tallying 113 yards on 18 carries, both career highs. Collins averaged 6.3 yards per rush, becoming the first running back this season that Miami has allowed to rush for over 70 yards. Entering the weekend, Miami’s rush defense was the fifth-best against running backs when it comes to yards per carry, holding opponents to just 3.6 per attempt.

Collins continues to lead the NFL in rushing yards per attempt at 6.0 with 80 carries for 478 yards in seven games this season. He is tied for the fourth most 20-yard rushes with four.

Collins also caught his first two receptions of the season for 30 yards, including a career-long 27 yard catch and run.

Hunter Henry
Henry had a quiet day Sunday against the Patriots, catching both targets for a total of 11 yards. It upped his season total to 23 catches, ranking tied for 17th among NFL tight ends. He is tied for 11th with 312 yards, tied for eighth with four 20-yard receptions and tied for 10th in first down catches.

Trey Flowers
Flowers accounted for three total tackles and one quarterback hit in the Patriots’ win over the Chargers Sunday.

His 37 total tackles this season are the fourth-most among defensive linemen in the league, while his 27 solo stops ties for third. He also tallied one quarterback hit to bring his total to 13 this season to rank ninth in the league.

Deatrich Wise, Jr.
Wise recorded one tackle and one quarterback hit Sunday in New England’s win. He continues to rank near the top of the leader board among rookie defensive linemen in several categories. In total tackles, he is tied for fifth with 12. He ranks third in sacks with 3.0. His 13 quarterback hits tie fellow Razorback Trey Flowers for the most on the Patriots and ranks second among all NFL rookies.

Ryan Mallett
Mallett came into Thursday’s game late in the second quarter after Ravens’ quarterback Joe Flacco went out with a concussion. In his second appearance of the season, Mallett went 3-of-7 for 20 yards and a touchdown.

Mallett’s touchdown came on his first pass attempt of the game, third overall play, to give the Ravens a commanding 20-0 lead going into halftime.
