Tremaine Edmunds MLB | NYG
Bears' Tremaine Edmunds: Another busy day at linebacker
Edmunds posted seven tackles, including one tackle for loss, in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Edmunds has registered at least seven tackles in eight of nine contests this season while adding four interceptions. His consistent high-floor production keeps him locked in as an every-week IDP starter.

Robert Spillane LB | NE
Patriots' Robert Spillane: Nine takedowns in win
Spillane recorded nine total tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Buccaneers.
Spillane was once again a busy man in Week 10, registering at least nine stops for the sixth time this season. The linebacker is having a strong first campaign with the Patriots, producing 81 total tackles (38 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble over 10 contests so far.

Chauncey Gardner-Johnson SAF | BUF
Bears' C.J. Gardner-Johnson: Dominant outing in winning effort
Gardner-Johnson recorded nine tackles, including 2.0 sacks and two tackles for loss, in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Gardner-Johnson has piled up 15 tackles and 3.0 sacks over his first two games with Chicago, immediately emerging as a high-impact defender. His current combination of tackle volume and pass-rush production places him firmly in the elite IDP tier at defensive back.

Cole Kmet TE | CHI
Bears' Cole Kmet: Limited passing-game involvement
Kmet caught one pass for five yards on two targets in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Kmet has two or fewer targets in six of eight contests this season and has 16 or fewer yards in each of his last four games. His recent usage leaves him as tight end depth who is difficult to start outside of leagues with very thin options.

Olamide Zaccheaus WR | ATL
Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Production dips in victory
Zaccheaus caught one pass for five yards on four targets in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Zaccheaus has at least four targets in five of nine contests this season but has been held to 42 or fewer yards in all but one of those games. His steady volume but modest yardage keeps him in the deeper-league flex mix when managers need target-based floor plays.
-
Luther Burden III WR | CHI
Bears' Luther Burden: Solid yardage total in win
Burden caught three passes for 51 yards on three targets in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Burden has posted at least 51 yards in three of eight contests this season and has drawn between one and four targets in every game. His low target volume keeps him a depth fantasy option who is useful mainly as a bench stash in fantasy leagues.

Jack Gibbens LB | ARI
Patriots' Jack Gibbens: Double-digit stops in win
Gibbens recorded 10 total tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Buccaneers.
Gibbens was thrust into a starting role at inside linebacker with Christian Elliss (hip) unavailable, leading the team in stops in the victory. Gibbens had compiled just 13 total tackles over the last five games combined, so he certainly made the most of his opportunity. On the year, the linebacker is now up to 40 total tackles (23 solo) and two passes defensed over 10 games.

Kenneth Walker III RB | KC
Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Gains 70 yards Sunday
Walker rushed 14 times for 67 yards while catching his only target for three yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over Arizona.
Walker averaged a healthy 4.8 yards per tote Sunday, but his managers might be feeling let down after seeing backups Zach Charbonnet (14-83-1) and George Holani (7-31-1) cash in both of Seattle's rushing scores. The 24-year-old Walker's 120 carries still leads Seattle through nine games, but he has been held out of the end zone since Week 3. Walker is still generating solid rushing totals as the Seahawks' lead back, with managers hoping for a return to his scoring ways against the Rams next Sunday.

Darius Slay CB | BUF
Steelers' Darius Slay: Done for night
Slay (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday night's game against the Chargers, Burt Lauten of the Steelers' official site reports.
Slay was concussed in the second quarter. The veteran has dealt with various nicks and dings this season. With Slay sidelined, James Pierre appears to be next up for snaps at cornerback for the Steelers.

Jacoby Brissett QB | ARI
Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Mixed results in blowout loss
Brissett completed 22 of 44 pass attempts for 258 yards and two touchdowns while gaining 31 yards on four carries and losing two fumbles in Sunday's 44-22 loss to Seattle.
Brissett's improbable victory over the Cowboys last week was put out of mind after Arizona was greeted by the Seahawks with a 35-0 deficit in the first half. The veteran signal-caller salvaged his day by compiling stats in garbage time, producing his fourth straight start of 250 or more passing yards and two touchdowns thrown. Brissett has great shot at extending his streak of fantasy production against an injury-riddled 49ers defense next Sunday.
