Jaguars' Eric Murray: Seven tackles in win
Murray recorded seven total tackles (three solo) and two passes defensed in Sunday's 26-10 win over Carolina.
Murray signed with the Jaguars in the offseason after spending five seasons with the Texans and he made a major impact in Week 1. The 31-year-old registered 75 total tackles (50 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while adding 10 passes defensed, one of which was an interception, over 17 regular-season contests with Houston in 2024. Murray figures to see similar production in Jacksonville this year.

Vikings' Javon Hargrave: Pair of sacks in debut
Hargrave finished Monday's 27-24 win over the Bears with five tackles (three solo) and a pair of sacks.
Hargrave made a big impact in his first game with the Vikings after signing a two-year contract in March. The veteran pass rusher logged both of Minnesota's sacks in the narrow victory and tied for second on the team in tackles. Hargrave appeared fully healthy after playing only three games with the 49ers in 2024 due to a triceps tear.

Jaguars' Andrew Wingard: Eight tackles in win
Wingard recorded eight total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 26-10 win over the Panthers.
Wingard finished second on the team in takedowns behind only linebacker Foyesade Oluokun (10). The safety recorded just 15 total tackles over eight regular-season contests in 2024 but he's stepped into a starting role in 2025, so an increase in production is to be expected.

Giants' Jevon Holland: Logs seven tackles
Holland recorded seven tackles (three solo) and one pass deflection in the Giants' loss to the Commanders.
Holland was one of the Giants' few bright spots in his debut with the team as he tied with Paulson Adebo for the second most tackles on the team behind Bobby Okereke's 16. Holland will look to build off this strong performance next week during the team's matchup versus the Cowboys.

Bears' Kevin Byard: Makes five solo tackles Monday
Byard recorded five tackles (five solo) during Monday's 27-24 loss versus the Vikings.
Byard picked up more or less where he left off last season, putting up good numbers despite a very slow-paced game in Week 1. He and the entire Bears defense project to see a lot of looks against the run when they travel to take on Detroit in Week 2.

Jonathan Greenard LB | PHI
Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Hits QB twice in Week 1 win
Greenard registered two tackles and two quarterback hits in Monday's 27-24 victory against the Bears.
Greenard wasn't able to notch any sacks in the season-opener, but he did get two hits on Caleb Williams. Greenard posted 24.5 sacks during the regular season over the past two campaigns, so he's likely to be force in that category again this year.

Bears' Tremaine Edmunds: Racks up seven tackles Monday
Edmunds recorded seven tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed during Monday's 27-24 loss versus the Vikings.
Chicago's defense was only on the field for 49 snaps Monday, which makes Edmunds' seven stops look a bit more impressive than they would otherwise. Thanks to his huge snap share in the Bears' front seven, he's solidly on the IDP radar going into a Week 2 matchup at Detroit.

Rams' Quentin Lake: Posts two stops Sunday
Lake finished with two tackles (one solo) Sunday in a 14-9 Week 1 win over Houston.
Lake had a relatively quiet performance but was on the field for all 63 of Los Angeles' defensive snaps. Lake was a full-time starter for the first time last year and posted a career-high 111 tackles (including 2.0 sacks) over 17 regular-season games.

Jaquan Brisker SAF | PIT
Bears' Jaquan Brisker: Tallies five tackles vs. Vikings
Brisker recorded five tackles (four solo) during Monday's 27-24 loss versus Minnesota.
Brisker will probably have better days in the stat sheet this season, but his line was solid considering the Vikings only ran 49 snaps on offense in Week 1. He figures to see a healthy number of opportunities to stop the run when the Bears travel to take on Detroit in Week 2.

Paulson Adebo CB | NYG
Giants' Paulson Adebo: Strong performance in loss
Adebo tallied seven tackles (six solo) and a pass deflection Sunday during the Giants' loss versus Washington.
Adebo had a strong performance in his first game with the Giants, as he finished tied with Jevon Holland for the second most tackles on the team and also held Terry McLaurin to just two catches for 27 yards. Adebo will look to build off this strong performance and keep producing during the team's Week 2 matchup against the Cowboys, where he will likely be tasked with guarding CeeDee Lamb.
