Metellus finished Sunday's 21-17 win over the Browns with four solo tackles and a pass defense.

Metellus has logged four solo tackles in four of the first five games of the regular season and has played every single defensive snap in three of those contests. The 2020 sixth-rounder is up to 27 tackles (19 solo) and three pass defenses (including one interception) this season.

Wilson tallied nine tackles (four solo) during the Vikings' 21-17 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Wilson led the Vikings in tackling Sunday and was one of three Minnesota players to play all 70 defensive snaps. Wilson has played every single defensive snap in three of the last four games, and the veteran linebacker has accumulated 35 tackles (18 solo) and two forced fumbles through the first five games of the regular season.

Gibbens recorded three solo tackles during the Patriots' win versus the Bills on Sunday.

Gibbens turned in a decent performance despite playing just 34 percent of the team's defensive snaps. The 26-year-old continues to produce while only seeing limited playing time, as he's now racked up 15 tackles (11 solo) across his last two outings.

Pace registered four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Browns.

Pace got to Dillon Gabriel for a two-yard loss early in the fourth quarter, which led to the Browns punting on the next play. It was Pace's first sack of the regular season, and the third-year linebacker is up to 37 tackles (23 solo) through five games.

Houston recorded three tackles (two solo) including 1.5 sacks during Sunday's 37-22 win against the Jets.

Despite being boxed out for snaps (22) on the edge by rookie second-rounder Donovan Ezeiruaku (42) and Sam Williams (33), Houston picked up a sack for the third time in his last four games in Week 5, bringing his season total to 3.5. He'll be looking to add to that count in Week 6 at Carolina.

Ayomanor recorded two receptions on four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over Arizona.

Ayomanor seemed to have the momentum among Tennessee pass catchers entering Week 5, as he had at least five targets and had topped 35 targets in three consecutive games. He instead had a disappointing showing and was overshadowed by veteran Calvin Ridley, who had a trio of long receptions in the comeback win. The Titans' offense has hardly been capable of sustaining one viable fantasy wide receiver this season, so Ayomanor's production is likely to remain inconsistent in the short term.

Delpit logged four tackles (one solo), one pass defense and one fumble recovery during Cleveland's 21-17 loss to Minnesota on Sunday.

Delpit jumped on a loose ball early in the first quarter, and that turnover led to a Dillon Gabriel one-yard touchdown pass to Harold Fannin seven plays later. Delpit has opened the 2025 regular season with 27 tackles (16 solo) and three pass defenses (one interception) through five games.

Bland recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 37-22 win against the Jets.

Bland played a season-high 70 defensive snaps in Week 5, which led to him posting his highest tackle total of the campaign so far. Big tackle numbers aren't normally a big part of his game though, keeping him from being an IDP consideration in most formats going into a Week 6 contest at Carolina.

Murray recorded five tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 37-22 win against the Jets.

Given Murray was on the field for 73 defensive snaps in Week 5, it's a bit surprising he posted his lowest tackle total of the year thus far. He's still on pace for a career high in that category on the season, making him a solid IDP option for a Week 6 tilt at Carolina.

Sanker recorded seven total tackles (six solo) and recovered a fumble in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Giants.

Sanker was able to jump on the ball after Demario Davis stripped wide receiver Darius Slayton in the second quarter, securing his first career fumble recovery. The safety has now compiled 23 total tackles (17 solo) and three passes defensed, including an interception, while also adding a fumble recovery over five games this year.
