McDonald recorded five total tackles (four solo), including 4.0 sacks, in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.

McDonald was an unstoppable force in Week 10, sacking quarterback Dillon Gabriel three times in the second quarter and another time in the fourth. The defensive end beat his previous high of 3.0 sacks that he notched in Week 2 of the 2024 campaign. On the season, McDonald has now produced 20 total tackles (12 solo), including 7.0 sacks, over nine games.

Brooks recorded 12 tackles (six solo) in the Dolphins' win over the Bills on Sunday.

Brooks' dozen tackles easily paced the Dolphins and marked his fifth time this season recording double-digit stops. Brooks entered Week 10 with an NFL-high 93 tackles, and he's now up to 105 tackles (61 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery across 10 contests.

Charbonnet took 14 carries for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 rout of the Cardinals.

Charbonnet finished as the Seahawks' leading rusher while matching starter Kenneth Walker (14-67-0) in carries. The 24-year-old Charbonnet did not receive a target for the first time since Week 2 in an odd game script that saw Seattle attempt just 12 passes in a comfortable win. The backup's value has been inflated by six trips to the end zone this season, but his week-to-week production remains volatile, with Sunday being his first game rushing for over 50 yards in eight appearances. Charbonnet is providing enough to be considered a flex option against the Rams next Sunday.

Sweat logged three tackles, including 1.5 sacks and one tackle for loss, in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Sweat now has 5.5 sacks this season, and he's recorded at least 1.0 sacks in each of his last four contests. His frequent backfield impact keeps him a sack-dependent but highly valuable IDP option on the defensive line.

Edmunds posted seven tackles, including one tackle for loss, in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Edmunds has registered at least seven tackles in eight of nine contests this season while adding four interceptions. His consistent high-floor production keeps him locked in as an every-week IDP starter.

Spillane recorded nine total tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Buccaneers.

Spillane was once again a busy man in Week 10, registering at least nine stops for the sixth time this season. The linebacker is having a strong first campaign with the Patriots, producing 81 total tackles (38 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble over 10 contests so far.

Gardner-Johnson recorded nine tackles, including 2.0 sacks and two tackles for loss, in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Gardner-Johnson has piled up 15 tackles and 3.0 sacks over his first two games with Chicago, immediately emerging as a high-impact defender. His current combination of tackle volume and pass-rush production places him firmly in the elite IDP tier at defensive back.

Kmet caught one pass for five yards on two targets in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Kmet has two or fewer targets in six of eight contests this season and has 16 or fewer yards in each of his last four games. His recent usage leaves him as tight end depth who is difficult to start outside of leagues with very thin options.

Zaccheaus caught one pass for five yards on four targets in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Zaccheaus has at least four targets in five of nine contests this season but has been held to 42 or fewer yards in all but one of those games. His steady volume but modest yardage keeps him in the deeper-league flex mix when managers need target-based floor plays.

Burden caught three passes for 51 yards on three targets in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Burden has posted at least 51 yards in three of eight contests this season and has drawn between one and four targets in every game. His low target volume keeps him a depth fantasy option who is useful mainly as a bench stash in fantasy leagues.
