Campbell tallied 11 tackles (three solo) and forced a fumble Sunday in a 37-24 win over Cincinnati.

Campbell led the Lions in stops and hit the double-digit mark in tackle for the third time through five weeks. The third-year linebacker forced a fumble on an assisted tackle during the third quarter, though the Bengals were able to recover. Through five games, Campbell has accumulated 48 stops, tied for fourth-most stops in the NFL entering the Monday night game.

Blackmon recorded five total tackles (four solo) and an interception in Sunday's 40-6 win over the Raiders.

Blackmon jumped in front of a pass from Geno Smith in the third quarter, securing his first interception of the year. The cornerback has now compiled 24 total tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding an interception over five games this season.

Barnes notched seven tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in a 37-24 victory against the Bengals on Sunday.

Barnes finished second on Detroit in stops in the win. His final tackle was a sack of Jake Browning in the end zone late in the fourth quarter that resulted in a safety to essentially ice the outcome. Barnes has 2.0 sacks this season, which already ties the career-high mark he established as a rookie in 2021.

Jones logged seven tackles (four solo) during the Seahawks' 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Jones has played every single defensive snap through the first five games of the regular season, and he finished Sunday's contest tied with Ty Okada for second-most tackles on the Seahawks behind Coby Bryant (eight). Jones has tallied at least seven tackles in every game this season and is up to 40 tackles (22 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and three pass defenses (two interceptions).

Wagner totaled 14 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 27-10 win against the Chargers in Week 5.

Wagner again led Washington in tackles and has now recorded double-digit stops in all five of the Commanders' contests this season. Through five weeks, he ranks second in the NFL with 56 total tackles.

Lazard (personal) did not travel to London with the Jets on Monday.

Lazard is dealing with a personal matter, and his status for Sunday's matchup with the Broncos is now in question. The wide receiver has not been ruled out for the game, and he could still play if he travels to London later in the week. If he is ultimately forced to miss Week 6, Tyler Johnson would stand to see an increase in workload at wide receiver versus Denver.

Hill logged six carries for minus-1 yard and completed his lone passing attempt for 19 yards during Sunday's 26-14 victory versus the Giants.

Hill figured back into his role as a rushing quarterback and Swiss Army knife on offense during his first game back since suffering a torn ACL in Week 13 of the 2024 season. While he played only nine offensive snaps, the 35-year-old was featured nearly every time he got on the field, including multiple looks in short-yardage and third-down situations. Hill played at least 40 percent of offensive snaps in six of the eight regular-season games that he played last year, and he averaged 7.8 touches for 58.2 yards per contest in 2024. As he continues to ramp up his playing time, he should carry some value as a boom-or-bust option as a TE2 or FLEX play in most fantasy leagues, especially non-PPR formats. It will be worth monitoring how much, or if, his playing time increases during New Orleans' Week 6 matchup versus New England.

Sainristil finished Sunday's 27-10 win over the Chargers with nine tackles (seven solo) and two defensed passes, including an interception.

Sainristil logged seven of his stops on defense and two on special teams. He also came up with a huge pickoff midway through the fourth quarter, grabbing a Justin Herbert pass at Washington's one-yard line to preserve the Commanders' 10-point lead. It was the second straight game with an interception for Sainristil, whose two pickoffs through two games have already matched the amount he tallied across 17 regular-season contests last year.

James recorded three total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 27-10 loss to Washington.

James was rather quiet in Week 5, compiling a season-low three takedowns in the defeat. The safety was limited by a hip injury at practice ahead of the contest, and he'll look to get back on track Sunday in Miami. James has now registered 37 total tackles (24 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed over five games this season.

Henley recorded eight total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Commanders.

Henley remained rather productive in Week 5, reaching at least eight takedowns for the fourth time this season. The linebacker has cooled off a little since a red-hot start to the year, but he has still compiled 39 total tackles (22 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed, one of which was an interception, over five games.
