Landman recorded 10 tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 24-20 win at Philadelphia.

The Eagles did not go away from their ground game in Week 4 despite losing running back Saquon Barkley to a hamstring injury early in the contest, and Landman saw plenty of opportunities to tackle ballcarriers as a result. He's a high-floor IDP consideration in some formats heading into a Week 5 contest versus the Bills.

Hansen logged 12 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Texans' 34-30 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

Hansen played 74 defensive snaps in the contest, good for 95 percent of the Cowboys' total defensive plays. The linebacker also played nine snaps on special teams. Hansen sacked quarterback Dak Prescott once while leading both teams in total tackles but it was not enough to stop the Cowboys' offense from securing the Week 4 win.

Golston (neck) might be facing a lengthy absence, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Golston suffered a neck injury in the Week 4 win over Arizona. Although not much has been revealed since, head coach John Harbaugh stated his absence "could be" long term. The 28-year-old has 13 total tackles (10 solo) in four games during the 2026 campaign. While Golston is sidelined, Darius Alexander and CJ Okoye will need to be more involved.

Young recorded six tackles (four solo) including 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble during Sunday's 24-20 win against the Eagles.

The Rams were not able to come up with the football after Young burned rookie right tackle Markel Bell around the edge and swiped the ball out of quarterback Jalen Hurts' right hand, but Young's performance in Week 4 was plenty productive nonetheless, and his sack total was a career high. Moving forward, he might be worth a look in IDP formats that award extra points for sacks.

Rousseau logged four tackles (two solo) and two passes defensed in the Bills' 29-26 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Rousseau notched 2.0 sacks in each of the first three games of the 2026 regular season. The outside linebacker's historic streak concluded in Week 4, when he was unable to log any sacks over 81 percent of the Bills' defensive snaps. The Bills' lack of defensive pressure against quarterback Drake Maye was a key component in the outcome of the early-season divisional matchup.

Henderson recorded 10 tackles (nine solo), a pass defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery during Monday's 45-24 win at New Orleans.

On a first down in Saints territory late in the first quarter, Henderson was able to rip the football right out of the hands of running back Kendre Miller in heavy traffic, setting up a touchdown to put the Falcons ahead 14-0. He may be one of the few cornerbacks meriting IDP consideration in many formats going into a Week 5 tilt versus the Ravens.

Blackmon logged 10 tackles (five solo) in the Saints' 45-24 loss to the Falcons on Monday.

Blackmon played all 57 of the Saints' defensive snaps in the blowout loss. Despite a long night for the defensive unit, the free safety tallied four more tackles than the next closest Saints defenders (Tyree Wilson and Jonas Sanker).

Perkins recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) including 0.5 sacks and a pass defensed during Monday's 45-24 win at New Orleans.

Over the last couple games, Perkins appears to have overtaken fellow rookie Kendal Daniels as the Falcons' second linebacker next to Divine Deablo. Perkins played 52 defensive snaps to Daniels' 29 in Week 4, and if that trend continues, he might be worth a look in deeper IDP formats in a Week 5 matchup versus the Ravens and beyond.

Taylor-Demerson (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Taylor-Demerson most recently didn't suit up for the Week 4 loss to the Giants. However, his limited participation in Wednesday's practice is an encouraging sign regarding his availability for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The Saints designated Ford (ankle) for return to practice from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The Saints placed Ford on injured reserve Aug. 31 with a designation to return. The linebacker was a full participant in his return to practice Wednesday, signaling he could be ready to return to the active roster shortly. If the Saints fail to retain Ford to the 53-man roster by Oct. 28, he will need to remain on IR for the remainder of the 2026 season.
