Burke recorded seven tackles (six solo) in Monday night's win over the Cowboys.

With Max Melton sustaining a second-quarter concussion, Burke was forced into extensive playing time at cornerback, and the fifth-round rookie responded with a season-high seven tackles. If Melton is unable to play Week 10 against the Seahawks, Burke would be in line to see increased playing time against Seattle's new wideout quartet of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp (hamstring) and playmaking rookie Tory Horton.

Bland logged 14 tackles (six solo) in Dallas' loss to the Cardinals on Monday.

Bland's 14 tackles were not only the most on the team but also served as a new season-high total for the 26-year-old. He will look to build on this strong performance and keep producing during Dallas' Week 11 matchup versus the Raiders following the team's upcoming bye.

Knight recorded 10 tackles (four solo) in the Seahawks' win over the Commanders on Sunday night.

With Ernest Jones (knee) going down in the first half against Washington, Knight logged 37 defensive snaps and posted a season-high 10 tackles. The second-year linebacker has now recorded double-digit stops four times across 24 career regular-season contests. If Jones is unable to play Week 10 against the Cardinals, Knight would figure to be in line to start at linebacker.

Walker recorded five tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, two tackles for loss and a pass defensed in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.

Walker saw his role expand, logging a career-best 65 percent and 44 total defensive snaps. He responded with two sacks -- his first since Week 2 -- while also racking up five tackles. Walker could be in for a big second half of his rookie season, particularly if the Falcons continue to give him more responsibility.

Porter logged eight tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and four pass defenses (one interception) during the Steelers' 27-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.

It was a busy day for Porter, whose eight stops were second most on the Steelers behind Payton Wilson (14). Porter was credited with the first sack of his NFL career early in the third quarter, and he helped the Steelers seal the victory late in the fourth quarter, when he picked off an overthrown pass from Daniel Jones intended for Alec Pierce. Porter has logged 21 tackles (16 solo) and nine pass defenses in the four games since Pittsburgh's Week 5 bye.

Okada recorded five tackles (two solo) and one interception in the Seahawks' win over the Commanders on Sunday night.

Okada made his fifth start of the season against Washington and has played all 278 defensive snaps across Seattle's last four contests. Julian Love (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve last Friday, paving the way for Okada to remain the starter in the immediate future. On the season, Okada is up to a career-high 32 tackles (21 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and four pass breakups, including the one pick, on 66 percent of the defensive snaps.

London recorded five tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks and two tackles for loss in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.

London returned from a three-game absence and logged a season-high 28 defensive snaps. He made good use of the opportunity by logging the first two sacks of his career. London is not particularly IDP relevant despite the strong showing.

Wilson logged 14 tackles (10 solo) and two pass defenses (including one interception) during the Steelers' 27-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Wilson moved into a starting role Week 9 due to the absence of Cole Holcomb (illness). Wilson took advantage of the opportunity, playing 66 snaps on defense and 17 on special teams while leading both teams with a career-high 14 stops. He also registered his first interception of the season in the second quarter, when he jumped in front of a Daniel Jones pass intended for Josh Downs, which led to a 12-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Pat Freiermuth two plays later. Wilson and Holcomb have worked in rotation at inside linebacker for much of the season, though the former's performance during Sunday's win could earn him a larger share of defensive snaps moving forward.

Wharton recorded seven tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Panthers' win over the Packers on Sunday.

Wharton made just his fifth start of the season after missing time earlier in the year to injuries. Against Green Bay, Wharton logged season-highs in playing time (91 percent of the defensive snaps) and tackles, while recording his second sack of the campaign.

Moehrig recorded five tackles (three solo) and two pass breakups including one interception, in the Panthers' win over the Packers on Sunday.

Moehrig has started all nine games this season, and his two pass breakups against Green Bay were his first two of the season. With the Packers leading just 7-6 in the third quarter, Moehrig picked off Jordan Love and returned it 36 yards to the Green Bay 38-yard line, helping set up a Rico Dowdle touchdown run on the ensuing possession. On the year, Moehrig has posted 55 tackles (34 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and the one interception on 97 percent of the defensive snaps.
