Jones posted 11 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons.

Jones has stacked up 94 tackles (48 solo) through 11 games, putting him firmly on track for a fourth straight season with 100-plus stops. However, the 2021 third-round pick is contributing more in pass defense with career highs in pass breakups (seven) and interceptions (five), returning one for a touchdown last week. Jones should continue to be an elite fantasy contributor down the stretch.

Witherspoon recorded seven tackles (five solo), two pass breakups and an interception in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons.

This was Witherspoon's first interception since his rookie year in 2023. The former first-round pick struggled with injuries to begin the season, but he has averaged 6.1 tackles per game when healthy, providing a decent fantasy floor as the Seahawks' starting corner.

Battle recorded nine tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 39-34 loss at Buffalo.

Battle tied for his team's lead in tackles in Week 14, and he has now tallied eight-plus tackles in four of his last six games. His season total is up to 101 after 13 games, and he projects as a good IDP option in most formats going into a Week 15 matchup versus the Ravens.

Garrett recorded four tackles (all solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a defensed pass in Sunday's Week 15 loss to Tennessee.

Garrett's sack came on a nine-yard takedown of Cam Ward late in the second quarter. That put Garrett in the history books as the 13th NFL player since sacks became an official stat to reach the 20-sack mark in a regular season. With four games remaining in the campaign, the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year has an excellent chance of reaching and surpassing the all-time NFL single-season record of 22.5 sacks, which was established by Michael Strahan in 2001 and matched by T.J. Watt in 2021. Garrett has been unstoppable of late, racking up at least one sack in seven straight games and totaling a jaw-dropping 16.0 sacks during that span.

Emmanwori recorded six tackles (five solo), a sack and an interception in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons.

Emmanwori struggled with injuries to start the season, but he has been a full-time player in the Seahawks' dominant defense over the last eight games, totaling 47 tackles, nine pass breakups, 1.5 sacks and an interception. The Seahawks utilize Emmanwori as a utility defensive back, as he floats around the formation and is increasingly being used in the pass rush, providing intriguing upside for fantasy purposes.

Brisker posted two solo tackles in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers.

Brisker finished with a season low in tackles. He was averaging 5.2 stops per game heading into this contest while adding five pass breakups, a sack and an interception. The fourth-year safety is in a contract year and will look to bounce back in Week 15 versus the Browns.

Stone recorded nine tackles (seven solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 39-34 loss at Buffalo.

Stone tied for his team's lead in tackles in a Week 14 shootout, adding on to what is already a career-best year in that category. With 93 tackles through 13 games, he could surpass the century mark in a Week 15 tilt versus the run-heavy Ravens.

Benford tallied 1.0 sacks and a pick-six during the Bills' 39-34 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Benford made the the play of the game for the Billls midway through the fourth quarter, when he picked off a short pass from Joe Burrow and took it to the house for a 63-yard pick-six. It's the second week in a row that Benford has scored a defensive touchdown, and the fourth-year corner is up to 39 tackles (28 solo), including 2.0 sacks, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries through 12 regular-season games.

Gray posted 10 tackles (seven solo) and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 31-29 win over the Titans.

This was the seventh time in 10 games that Gray notched double-digit tackles, totaling 109 stops in that stretch. The 2024 fourth-round pick is ranked fifth in the league with 128 stops after he played just 48 defensive snaps as a rookie. He's a surefire IDP option heading into the fantasy playoffs.

Jones recorded one tackle (one solo) during Sunday's 24-17 win at Las Vegas.

In a game where the Raiders' offense struggled to stay on the field, Jones was only needed for a season-low 43 defensive snaps, leading to a poor day on the stat sheet. He'll be looking to get more involved in a Week 15 matchup versus the run-heavy Packers.
