Wagner posted 16 tackles (six solo) and 1.0 sacks in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings.

The Commanders' defense struggled as a whole, but Wagner put together an outstanding fantasy day, nonetheless. The 35-year-old linebacker has produced double-digit tackles in seven of 13 games this season, and he ranks third in the league with 131 total stops. Wagner will continue to be a premier IDP option heading into fantasy playoffs.

Davis logged seven tackles (four solo) during the Saints' 24-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Davis co-led the Saints in tackles with Kool-Aid McKinstry, with the duo joining Alontae Taylor as the team's three players who played all 74 defensive snaps during Sunday's win. Davis is up to 118 combined tackles through 13 regular-season games, and he is on track to surpass his career high that he set in 2024 (136 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games).

Lassiter recorded six tackles (five solo), two pass breakups and an interception in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.

Lassiter now has 12 pass breakups and three interceptions through 13 games, adding 72 tackles (50 solo) in the process. His steady tackle count is intriguing for fantasy purposes, and the 2024 second-round pick has missed only six defensive snaps all season.

McKinney recorded seven tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 28-21 win versus the Bears.

McKinney played all 68 of Green Bay's defensive snaps in Week 14, and he racked up seven-plus tackles for the sixth time this season. He's still on pace to surpass 100 tackles for the second time in his career, but he might spend more time in coverage in a Week 15 matchup at Denver.

Bush notched nine tackles (three solo) and two defensed passes, including an interception, Sunday in a loss to the Titans.

Bush was all over the field Sunday, finishing as Cleveland's second-leading tackler and pacing the squad with a pair of defensed passes. Among those was a first-quarter pickoff of Cam Ward that Bush returned 44 yards to set up a Browns field goal. Bush has posted 91 tackles (including 2.0 sacks) through 13 games, putting him on pace to surpass the career-high mark of 109 stops he recorded as a rookie with Pittsburgh in 2019. He also has already reached a career-best mark with seven defensed passes, two of which have been interceptions, including his second career pick-six.

Togiai recorded 10 tackles (two solo) and 1.0 sacks in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.

Togiai didn't post more than five tackles in a game through the first 10 outings, but he exploded in the key AFC clash. The 2021 fourth-round pick already has a career high in defensive snaps with 301 through 11 games. He likely will be tough to depend on for fantasy purposes, though.

Cooper recorded 11 tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 28-21 win versus the Bears.

Cooper was on the field for all 68 of Green Bay's defensive snaps in Week 14, and he got up to double digits in the tackle department for the fourth time this year. With 97 tackles on the season through 13 games, it would be surprising if he didn't pass the century mark in a Week 15 tilt at Denver.

Jones posted 11 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons.

Jones has stacked up 94 tackles (48 solo) through 11 games, putting him firmly on track for a fourth straight season with 100-plus stops. However, the 2021 third-round pick is contributing more in pass defense with career highs in pass breakups (seven) and interceptions (five), returning one for a touchdown last week. Jones should continue to be an elite fantasy contributor down the stretch.

Witherspoon recorded seven tackles (five solo), two pass breakups and an interception in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons.

This was Witherspoon's first interception since his rookie year in 2023. The former first-round pick struggled with injuries to begin the season, but he has averaged 6.1 tackles per game when healthy, providing a decent fantasy floor as the Seahawks' starting corner.

Battle recorded nine tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 39-34 loss at Buffalo.

Battle tied for his team's lead in tackles in Week 14, and he has now tallied eight-plus tackles in four of his last six games. His season total is up to 101 after 13 games, and he projects as a good IDP option in most formats going into a Week 15 matchup versus the Ravens.
