Branch recorded six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

Branch returned to the field for the first time since serving a one-game suspension and played 100 percent of snaps. He had a modest stat line, but he now has at least six stops in all but two contests for the campaign.

Okereke logged 14 tackles (seven solo) in the Giants' loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Okereke was one of the few bright spots during the loss, leading the team with 14 tackles. The 29-year-old has now posted double-digit tackles four times this season and will look to keep producing in the Week 10 matchup versus the Bears.

Campbell recorded nine tackles (six solo), including one sack and one tackle for loss in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

After breaking out in 2024, Campbell is taking another step forward this season. He has at least eight tackles in every game and has one sack in each of his last three contests. Campbell should continue to play nearly every defensive snap for Detroit and is one of the best linebackers for IDP leagues.

Metellus recorded five tackles (one solo) during Sunday's 27-24 win at Detroit.

Metellus had recorded at least six tackles in three of the four games prior to Week 9, but he now has more work to do to get back on pace for 100 tackles on the season. He still projects as a fringe IDP candidate for a Week 10 matchup versus the Ravens thanks to his every-down role.

Jones recorded 10 tackles (six solo) and one pass breakup in the Jaguars' win over the Raiders on Sunday.

With Travis Hunter (knee) injured, the Jaguars settled on a cornerback trio of Greg Newsome, Montaric Brown and Jones against Las Vegas. Jones matched his season-high with 47 defensive snaps against the Raiders, and his 10 tackles easily marked a new career-best mark for the second-year cornerback. Jones has posted 19 tackles (15 solo) and a pair of pass breakups across eight appearances, and one start, this season.

Porter logged 10 tackles (eight solo) during the Raiders' 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

The rookie third-rounder made the second start of his NFL career Sunday as Kyu Blu Kelly -- who started in the first seven games of the regular season -- served in a depth role. Porter made the most of his opportunity, playing all 80 defensive snaps while logging a career-high 10 stops, which was second most on the Raiders behind Devin White (16). Porter could make his third start in Week 10 against the Broncos.

Brown recorded five tackles (four solo) and one interception in the Jaguars' win over the Raiders on Sunday.

With Tyson Campbell traded to Cleveland and Travis Hunter (knee) injured, Brown has become more of an every-down cornerback for the Jaguars, logging at least 84 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the last three contests after playing a total of 52 defensive snaps across the first five weeks of the season. Brown has posted 16 tackles (14 solo) and four pass breakups, including the one interception, across six appearances.

Belton recorded 13 tackles (four solo) in the Giants' loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Belton continues to dominate while filling in for Jevon Holland (knee), as he racked up a season-high 13 tackles in the loss. If Holland remains sidelined for the team's Week 10 matchup versus the Bears, Belton would get the start at safety for the third straight game.

Cashman recorded 14 tackles (six solo) and a forced fumble during Sunday's 27-24 win against the Lions.

Cashman put up a double-digit tackle total for his second straight game in Week 9, and he made a highlight-reel play in the third quarter when he chased down running back David Montgomery and knocked the ball loose to set up a Vikings touchdown. He is set up to see plenty more work against the run with the Ravens coming to Minnesota in Week 10.

Oluokun recorded 11 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's overtime win over the Raiders.

Oluokun's 11 tackles marked the third time this season he has posted double-digit tackles. He also logged one pass breakup against Las Vegas and is now up to 66 tackles (34 solo), including 1.0 sacks, five pass breakups, including one interception, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery on 98 percent of the Jaguars' defensive snaps across eight contests. Oluokun's 66 tackles are tied for the 21st-most in the NFL through Week 9.
