  • Jets' Jamien Sherwood: Double-digit tackling effort

    Sherwood recorded 15 tackles (six solo) and two pass breakups in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

    Sherwood produced his seventh double-digit tackling performance of the season, as he has now accumulated 121 tackles (53 solo), eight pass breakups and 1.0 sacks through 13 games. The Jets continue to struggle overall this season, but Sherwood will continue to have remarkable upside during the fantasy playoffs.

  • Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Paces Browns with 13 stops Week 14

    Schwesinger notched 13 tackles (six solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a loss to Tennessee.

    Schwesinger continued his standout rookie campaign, leading Cleveland in tackles and setting a new single-game career-high mark. The talented linebacker has now recorded double-digit stops in five consecutive contests as he's quickly established himself as a premier IDP option. With 119 stops on the season, Schwesinger has already put his name in the Browns' record books with the highest mark by a rookie, though it would take a huge finish to the campaign for him to reach the NFL rookie record of 174 tackles set by Patrick Willis in 2007.

  • Devin Lloyd LB | CAR

    Jaguars' Devin Lloyd: Picks off Jones in Week 14 win

    Lloyd tallied eight tackles (one solo) and an interception during the Jaguars' 36-19 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Lloyd put the Jaguars deep in enemy territory early in the first quarter when he picked off a short pass from Daniel Jones (Achilles), and the Jacksonville offense converted the turnover into a Travis Etienne three-yard rushing touchdown four plays later. Lloyd entered the regular season having accrued four interceptions over the first three years of his NFL career, but he's up to five interceptions through 11 regular-season games in 2025, including a 99-yard pick-six in a Week 5 win over the Chiefs. However, he has just 59 combined tackles on the year and will likely fall short of the tackling century mark unless he increases his defensive activity over the final four games of the regular season.

  • Bobby Wagner MLB | WAS

    Commanders' Bobby Wagner: Makes 16 stops in loss

    Wagner posted 16 tackles (six solo) and 1.0 sacks in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings.

    The Commanders' defense struggled as a whole, but Wagner put together an outstanding fantasy day, nonetheless. The 35-year-old linebacker has produced double-digit tackles in seven of 13 games this season, and he ranks third in the league with 131 total stops. Wagner will continue to be a premier IDP option heading into fantasy playoffs.

  • Demario Davis OLB | NYJ

    Saints' Demario Davis: Posts seven stops vs. Tampa Bay

    Davis logged seven tackles (four solo) during the Saints' 24-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Davis co-led the Saints in tackles with Kool-Aid McKinstry, with the duo joining Alontae Taylor as the team's three players who played all 74 defensive snaps during Sunday's win. Davis is up to 118 combined tackles through 13 regular-season games, and he is on track to surpass his career high that he set in 2024 (136 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games).

  • Texans' Kamari Lassiter: Reels in third INT of 2025

    Lassiter recorded six tackles (five solo), two pass breakups and an interception in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.

    Lassiter now has 12 pass breakups and three interceptions through 13 games, adding 72 tackles (50 solo) in the process. His steady tackle count is intriguing for fantasy purposes, and the 2024 second-round pick has missed only six defensive snaps all season.

  • Packers' Xavier McKinney: Tallies seven tackles in win

    McKinney recorded seven tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 28-21 win versus the Bears.

    McKinney played all 68 of Green Bay's defensive snaps in Week 14, and he racked up seven-plus tackles for the sixth time this season. He's still on pace to surpass 100 tackles for the second time in his career, but he might spend more time in coverage in a Week 15 matchup at Denver.

  • Devin Bush LB | CHI

    Browns' Devin Bush: Excels despite loss in Week 14

    Bush notched nine tackles (three solo) and two defensed passes, including an interception, Sunday in a loss to the Titans.

    Bush was all over the field Sunday, finishing as Cleveland's second-leading tackler and pacing the squad with a pair of defensed passes. Among those was a first-quarter pickoff of Cam Ward that Bush returned 44 yards to set up a Browns field goal. Bush has posted 91 tackles (including 2.0 sacks) through 13 games, putting him on pace to surpass the career-high mark of 109 stops he recorded as a rookie with Pittsburgh in 2019. He also has already reached a career-best mark with seven defensed passes, two of which have been interceptions, including his second career pick-six.

  • Tommy Togiai DT | HOU

    Texans' Tommy Togiai: Season-best tackling effort

    Togiai recorded 10 tackles (two solo) and 1.0 sacks in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.

    Togiai didn't post more than five tackles in a game through the first 10 outings, but he exploded in the key AFC clash. The 2021 fourth-round pick already has a career high in defensive snaps with 301 through 11 games. He likely will be tough to depend on for fantasy purposes, though.

  • Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Leading tackler in win

    Cooper recorded 11 tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 28-21 win versus the Bears.

    Cooper was on the field for all 68 of Green Bay's defensive snaps in Week 14, and he got up to double digits in the tackle department for the fourth time this year. With 97 tackles on the season through 13 games, it would be surprising if he didn't pass the century mark in a Week 15 tilt at Denver.
