Dodson compiled 10 tackles (eight solo) during Miami's loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Dodson had a strong performance despite the loss, finishing second on the team in tackles behind Jordyn Brooks' 13. The 27-year-old is having the best season of his career, having already set new personal bests in both tackles and sacks, and he will look to add to his totals across the Dolphins' final three games of the campaign.

Al-Shaair posted 12 tackles (seven solo) during the Texans' 40-20 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Al-Shaair's 12 stops Sunday were a season high and the sixth time in his NFL career that he has reached that mark. He has played every single defensive snap in eight of the Texans' last nine games since the Week 6 bye and is up to 96 tackles (46 solo), eight pass defenses (one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through 14 regular-season games. Al-Shaair could reach the tackling century mark for the third time in his seven-year NFL career as soon as this Sunday against the Raiders.

Wonnum recorded four tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, in a loss to New Orleans on Sunday.

Wonnum led a strong effort by Carolina's defense, but the team's offense was able to put up just 17 points. Wonnum got into the sacks column for the first time this season after going 12 games without taking down the opposing QB. He posted 4.0 sacks in just eight contests last year.

Carter recorded three tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 24-0 loss versus Baltimore.

Carter's tackle total in Week 15 was his lowest since Week 2, when he played zero defensive snaps versus Jacksonville. Granted, his 40 defensive snaps Sunday were the fewest he played since Week 5 versus the Lions (33). He'll look to bounce back in a Week 16 matchup at Miami.

Queen registered 10 tackles (nine solo) during Pittsburgh's win over the Dolphins on Monday.

Queen led the Steelers in tackles during the victory and has now totaled double-digit stops in five outings this season. Across 14 games played, the 26-year-old has compiled 106 tackles (49 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and will look to keep producing during the team's Week 16 matchup against the Lions.

Scott totaled 10 tackles (six solo) Sunday in a loss to New Orleans.

Scott was the Panthers' leading tackler in the disappointing loss. The veteran safety has been quite productive of late, tallying at least eight tackles in each of his past four games. Scott's 10 stops Sunday pushed his season tally to 85 through 14 contests, putting him one shy of his career-best regular-season mark of 86, which he set in 2022 with the Rams.

Battle recorded eight tackles (seven solo) and an interception during Sunday's 24-0 loss versus the Ravens.

Battle got his fourth interception of the season in the middle of the second quarter when the game was still tied 0-0, and he led Cincinnati in tackles in Week 15. His tackle total Sunday is even more impressive when it's taken into account that he only played 40 defensive snaps. He has played himself into the IDP conversation in 2025, and he'll be looking to keep up the momentum in a Week 16 tilt at Miami.

Oluokun tallied eight tackles (three solo) during the Jaguars' 48-20 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Oluokun led all Jaguars defenders by playing 52 defensive snaps and finished with a team-high eight stops. The veteran linebacker has logged at least five stops in each of the Jaguars' seven games since the Week 8 bye, and over that span he has accumulated 56 tackles (26 solo) and six pass defenses. Oluokun is up to 111 combined tackles through 14 regular-season games, which is tied with Alex Singleton for the 14th-most tackles in the league.

Carter logged seven tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and fumble recovery Sunday during the Giants' loss versus the Commanders.

Carter compiled a career-high seven tackles in the loss while recording one of the team's two sacks of Marcus Mariota. The rookie first-round pick got off to a slow start this season but has been more productive across his last two outings, totaling 11 tackles (seven solo), including two sacks.

Byard totaled two tackles (both solo) in Sunday's 31-3 win over Cleveland.

Byard was part of a stifling Bears secondary that limited Shedeur Sanders to no touchdown tosses and picked off three passes, but the veteran safety posted a quiet stat line individually. His two tackles tied a season-low mark following a seven-game stretch during which he notched no fewer than five stops. Byard is still putting together an excellent campaign, as he leads the NFL with six interceptions.
