Trotter logged 10 tackles and a defensed pass in Sunday's 43-13 win over Carolina.

Trotter's tackle tally led Tampa Bay and marked his fourth time reaching double-digit stops through six contests this season. The rookie linebacker missed Week 3 due to a shoulder injury but has otherwise been a central part of the Buccaneers' defense, logging at least an 83 percent defensive snap share in each game that he's appeared. Overall, Trotter has registered 62 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and an interception (which he returned for a touchdown).

Tranquill finished Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Seahawks with 12 tackles (four solo).

Tranquil led the Chiefs in combined tackles Sunday, and he was one of three Kansas City defenders to reach double-digit stops. He's logged at least seven tackles in each of the first six games of the regular season and is up to 48 tackles (22 solo), two pass defenses and one fumble recovery in 2026.

Simmons logged four tackles (two solo) and a pass defense during the Titans' 27-24 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Simmons was also credited with two quarterback hits, but he was unable to log a sack for a second consecutive week. The veteran defensive tackle is up to 38 tackles (20 solo), including 4.0 sacks, four pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through seven regular-season games.

Hooker posted five tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 27-24 loss to Cleveland.

Sunday was the fourth time this season that Hooker played every single defensive snap, although his five stops were his lowest of the 2026 campaign. The veteran safety is up to 46 tackles (29 solo) and three pass defenses (including two interceptions) through six regular-season games, and he's second on the Titans in total stops behind rookie linebacker Anthony Hill (68).

Chinn finished Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Rams with seven tackles (three solo). He also recovered a fumble.

Chinn tied for third on Las Vegas in stops and has now registered at least seven tackles in four of his seven games so far this season. The veteran safety also came up with a big fumble recovery in Rams territory in the third quarter, but the Raiders were unable to turn that into points. Chinn has 46 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, one defensed pass, two forced fumbles and two recovered fumbles through seven contests on the campaign.

Queen compiled 10 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Pittsburgh's win over the Saints on Sunday.

Queen had a strong outing in the victory, leading the team in tackles in addition to registering his first sack of the campaign. The 2020 first-round pick has now logged 48 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and an interception across seven games this season.

Winston logged 14 tackles (eight solo) during the Titans' 27-24 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

The second-year safety was cleared to return from a two-game absence due to a quadriceps injury. He was busy in his return, playing every single defensive snap while leading the Titans with a career-high in stops, eight of which were solo. It was the second time this season that Winston logged double-digit tackles, and he's up to 43 tackles (24 solo) and one forced fumble through five games.

Hill logged 12 tackles (five solo) and one forced fumble during the Titans' 27-24 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Hill punched the ball out of the hands of Harold Fannin's hands midway through the second quarter, but the Titans squandered the good field position by giving the ball back to the Browns on the next play on a Cam Ward interception. It was the first takeaway that Hill caused this season, and the rookie second-rounder has played every single defensive snap through seven contests. He's up to 68 total tackles, which is tied with Ernest Jones and Nakobe Dean for third-most in the NFL behind Alex Singleton (87) and Fred Warner (71).

Dejean recorded seven tackles (three solo) during Monday's 38-21 loss versus the Cowboys.

Dejean racked up seven-plus tackles for the third time this season in a Week 7 contest that saw Dallas run the ball 38 times. He's on pace for the first 100-tackle season of his career, putting him on the fringe of IDP consideration of some formats ahead of a Week 8 matchup at Washington.

Walker posted 12 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Rams.

Walker and Nakobe Dean each had 12 tackles to tie for the team lead. Two of Walker's stops went for a loss. The tackle tally was a season-best mark for the veteran linebacker and marked the second time in 2026 that he's posted double-digit stops. In his first year with the Raiders, Walker has registered 52 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and a recovered fumble through seven contests.
