Hickman registered 10 tackles (six solo) and a fumble recovery during Sundays' 27-24 win over Tennessee.

Hickman and Quincy Williams co-led the Browns in tackles Sunday, with the former playing every single defensive snap for the sixth time this season. Hickman's 10 tackles were his most of the season, and the fourth-year safety is up to 41 tackles (19 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) and two fumble recoveries through seven regular-season contests.

Brooks posted nine tackles (five solo) during the Dolphins' win Sunday over the Jets.

Brooks was productive against the Jets, leading Miami in tackles and helping the team win their first game of the campaign. The 29-year-old has had a solid start to the season, compiling eight or more tackles in five of his first six appearances. He will look to keep producing during next week's matchup versus the Patriots.

Hamilton recorded four tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 35-13 loss versus the Bengals.

Baltimore's secondary got shredded by Joe Burrow and wide receiver Tee Higgins in Week 7, and Hamilton ended up with a season-low tackle total. He's still on pace for a career-best year in that category, however, and he's solidly on the IDP radar in most formats going into a Week 8 matchup at Buffalo.

Williams finished Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans with 10 tackles (seven solo).

Williams was working through neck and back injuries during Week 7 prep, but he was cleared to play Sunday and ended up playing every single defensive snap while co-leading the Browns in tackles with Ronnie Hickman. It was the second time in three games that Williams recorded double-digit stops, and he is up to 50 tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses and three forced fumbles through seven regular-season contests.

Smith recorded eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 35-13 loss versus the Bengals.

Joe Burrow was able to throw the ball all over the yard at Baltimore in Week 7, but Smith still ended up with more tackles than any of his teammates. He now has eight-plus tackles in five of his seven games this year, and he profiles as a strong IDP option in most formats heading into a Week 8 tilt at Buffalo.

Dean produced 12 tackles and an interception in Sunday's loss to the Rams.

Dean tied with Quay Walker for the team lead in tackles and also came up with an interception of Matthew Stafford early in the fourth quarter. That helped set up a Raiders touchdown, but Las Vegas ultimately suffered a third straight loss. Dean is in the midst of a standout season, as he's recorded double-digit stops in four of his past five games and is tied for third in the NFL with 68 tackles through seven contests.

Campbell tallied 11 tackles (eight solo) during the Lions' 20-17 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Campbell was on the field for every single defensive snap and led the Lions in tackles. His eight solo stops were a season high, and he's reached double-digit tackles in each of his last three outings. Through six regular-season games, Campbell has 54 tackles (29 solo) and one fumble recovery.

Emmanwori registered four tackles (two solo) Sunday in a 20-3 Week 7 win over the Chiefs.

Emmanwori was dealing with a hip injury heading into the weekend, but he was able to suit up and logged every one of Seattle's defensive snaps. Though he logged a modest four stops, Emmanwori was part of a dominant defensive effort by Seattle. Overall, Emmanwori has registered 27 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one defensed pass through six contests on the campaign.

Cashman recorded 12 tackles (8 solo) including 2.0 sacks and four passes defensed during Sunday's 16-10 win versus the Colts.

On a day where Minnesota held Indianapolis' offense almost completely in check, Cashman arguably shined brighter than any other player on his unit. It was the first time he's ever logged two sacks in a single game, and his four pass breakups marked another career high. He profiles as a strong IDP option in most formats going into a Week 8 matchup at Detroit.

Branch recorded four tackles (one solo) and an interception during Sunday's 20-17 win over Green Bay.

Branch was given the green light to play Sunday in what was his first game since he tore his Achilles in Week 14 of the 2025 season. He was on the field for 45 of the Lions' 67 defensive snaps (67.2 percent), and his return was highlighted by his interception off of Jordan Love early in the fourth quarter. Having Branch back in the fold significantly boosts the Lions' secondary, especially since the defense ranks dead last in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (291.8). Detroit will stay home for Week 8 to host Minnesota in another NFC North tilt.
