Broncos' Justin Strnad: Leads Denver in stops in Week 11
Strnad tallied 10 tackles (four solo) Sunday in a 22-19 win over the Chiefs.
Strnad logged a start with Alex Singleton (illness) missing the contest. Strnad ended up reaching a career-high mark with 10 stops, which paced the Broncos in the big victory. Denver is on bye in Week 12, and it's unclear if Singleton will be back for Week 13. If not, Strnad figures to get another start at linebacker.

Broncos' Ja'Quan McMillian: Huge performance in Week 11 win
McMillian logged six tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks, and intercepted a pass in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Chiefs.
McMillian was a menace to Kansas City throughout the contest and made a tangible impact in Denver's win. He ended the first half with a sack of Patrick Mahomes, then picked off Mahomes early in the third quarter after the Chiefs had driven deep into Broncos territory. McMillian returned the pickoff 63 yards, setting up a Denver touchdown. For good measure, he sacked Mahomes again on a third-down play late in the fourth period, forcing a punt as the Chiefs were trying to mount a comeback. With the big effort, McMillian doubled his sack total to 4.0 on the campaign, while the pickoff was his first this season.

Cedric Gray LB | TEN
Titans' Cedric Gray: Reaches tackling century mark
Gray posted 11 tackles (six solo) and two pass defenses during the Titans' 16-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Gray played every single defensive snap for the first time this season and logged double-digit tackles for the sixth time in seventh games, though he finished second on the Titans in tackles behind Darrell Baker (12). Gray mostly served on special teams across seven regular-season games in 2024, but the second-year linebacker has stepped up in a big way during his sophomore campaign. He is up to 102 combined tackles through 10 regular-season games, which is third most in the NFL behind Jordyn Brooks (125) and Bobby Wagner (107).

Darrell Baker Jr. CB | MIA
Titans' Darrell Baker: Career-high 12 stops vs. Houston
Baker posted 12 tackles (nine solo) and a pass defense during the Titans' 16-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Baker entered Week 11 having not recorded more than five tackles through nine regular-season games, but he was far busier during Sunday's AFC South tilt and finished with a game-high 12 stops. Baker has stepped into a larger role in the Titans' secondary over the team's last four games, a development that's coincided with L'Jarius Sneed (quadriceps) being placed on injured reserve and Roger McCreary being traded to the Rams, both which took place in late October. Baker and the Titans will welcome in the Seahawks in Week 12.

Chargers' Derwin James: Posts five tackles in Week 11 loss
James finished Sunday's loss to Jacksonville with five tackles (two solo) and a defensed pass.
James notched his first defensed pass since Week 6 and upped his tackle total after recording just three stops against Pittsburgh in Week 10. The veteran defensive back has posted 65 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, along with four defensed passes (including an interception) through 11 contests on the campaign.

Nate Landman LB | LAR
Rams' Nate Landman: Logs seven tackles Week 11
Landman posted seven tackles (six solo) and a forced fumble during the Rams' 21-19 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
Landman finished Sunday's game tied with Omar Speights for the second-most tackles on the Rams behind Kamren Curl (11). Landman was also credited with a forced fumble for a third consecutive game, and the fourth-year linebacker is up to 90 tackles (44 solo), including 1.5 sacks, four pass defenses, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries through 10 regular-season games.

Bobby Wagner MLB | WAS
Commanders' Bobby Wagner: Leads team in tackles again Sunday
Wagner logged eight tackles (four solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a Week 11 overtime loss to Miami.
Wagner continues to provide steady output as a tackler, as he's recorded at least seven stops in all 11 of Washington's games so far this year. He has slowed down from a torrid season-opening pace, though -- Wagner has finished with single-digit tackles in five of his past six contests after reaching the double-digit mark in each of the first five weeks of the campaign. That's nitpicking his big-time production, though, as the veteran linebacker ranks second in the NFL with 107 stops through 11 weeks.

Kamren Curl SAF | LAR
Rams' Kamren Curl: Game-high 11 stops vs. Seattle
Curl posted 11 tackles (nine solo) during the Rams' 21-19 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
Curl led both teams with a season-high 11 tackles while playing every single defensive snap, and his nine solo tackles tied a career high he set in Week 13 of the 2022 season as a member of the Commanders. The fifth-year safety is up to 79 combined tackles through 10 regular-season games, which matches his total across 16 contests during the 2024 regular season.

Patrick Queen LB | PIT
Steelers' Patrick Queen: Secures 10 stops Sunday
Queen finished with 10 tackles (five solo) in a 34-12 victory versus Cincinnati in Week 11 on Sunday.
Queen led the Steelers in tackles while reaching the double-digit mark for the second straight week. The veteran linebacker is up to 78 stops on the season, putting him well on pace to reach the triple-digit mark for the fifth time over his six-year NFL career.

Kamren Kinchens SAF | LAR
Rams' Kamren Kinchens: Picks off Darnold twice in Week 11
Kinchens registered four tackles (three solo) and two interceptions during the Rams' 21-19 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
The 2024 third-rounder logged four interceptions during his rookie season but was held without a pick through the first nine games of the 2025 regular season. That quickly changed during Sunday's NFC West clash, when Kinchens picked off a Sam Darnold pass intended for Cooper Kupp on the Seahawks' first offensive series of the game and the Rams capitalized with a Kyren Williams' one-yard touchdown run four plays later. Kinchens picked off Darnold again late in the third frame, and the Rams once again made the most of the opportunity via a six-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford to Colby Parkinson four plays later. Sunday marked the second time in Kinchens' young NFL career that he recorded two interceptions in a game, and the 23-year-old safety has accumulated 48 tackles (32 solo), five pass defenses and two fumble recoveries through 10 regular-season games.
