  • Cedric Gray LB | TEN

    Titans' Cedric Gray: Posts big numbers again in Week 6

    Gray notched 12 tackles (three solo) and two defensed passes Sunday in a loss to Las Vegas.

    Gray led Tennessee in tackles in the 10-point loss. He's now recorded double-digit stops in three straight games, totaling 41 tackles during that span. That's put him firmly on the map in IDP fantasy leagues.

    Rams' Quentin Lake: Picks off Rush in Week 6 win

    Lake tallied six tackles (one solo), an interception and a fumble recovery during the Rams' 17-3 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

    Lake logged his first interception of the season late in the first quarter, when he jumped in front of a Cooper Rush pass intended for Zay Flowers. Lake also jumped on a football that was jarred loose from Flowers' hands by Jared Verse early in the third quarter, which led to an eight-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford to Tyler Higbee two plays later. Lake has played every defensive snap through six regular-season games and is up to 39 tackles (20 solo) and seven pass defenses on the year.

  • Ravens' Trenton Simpson: Totals nine tackles in loss

    Simpson recorded nine tackles (four solo), including 0.5 sacks, during the Ravens' loss versus the Rams on Sunday.

    Simpson got the start at linebacker for the second straight week as Roquan Smith remained sidelined with a hamstring injury. Simpson ended up matching Teddye Buchanan for the most tackles on the team, bringing his total on the season up to 49 (23 solo). He will likely return to a reserve role Week 8 versus the Bears, as Smith is expected to return following the team's upcoming bye.

  • Nick Herbig LB | PIT

    Steelers' Nick Herbig: Secures 2.0 sacks Sunday

    Herbig finished Sunday's 23-9 win over the Browns with two tackles, both of which were sacks, and a defensed pass.

    Each of Herbig's sacks came in the fourth quarter. He brought down Dillon Gabriel for an 11-yard loss after Cleveland had driven to the Steelers' three-yard line, which limited the Browns to a field goal. Herbig then got to Gabriel again on Cleveland's next drive, which ended on downs. Herbig is up to 4.5 sacks on the campaign, just one fewer than the career-high 5.5 sacks he tallied over 13 regular-season games last year.

  • Ravens' Teddye Buchanan: Dominant in loss

    Buchanan tallied nine tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks, in Baltimore's loss to the Rams on Sunday.

    Buchanan was one of the team's few bright spots in the loss, matching Trenton Simpson for the most tackles on the team while playing every defensive snap. The rookie fourth-round pick is off to a strong start this season, racking up 49 tackles (23 solo) across his first six appearances.

  • Byron Young LB | LAR

    Rams' Byron Young: Two late sacks vs. Baltimore

    Young registered eight tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, during the Rams' 17-3 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

    Young logged six of his eight stops in the first half and finished second on the Rams in tackles behind Nate Landman (17). Young's two sacks on Tyler Huntley came on back-to-back plays late in the fourth quarter, which extended the former's streak of at least 0.5 sacks in a game to six. Young is up to 7.5 sacks on the year, which ties his total from 2024, leads the NFC and is second most in the league behind Denver's Nik Bonitto (8.0).

  • Payton Wilson LB | PIT

    Steelers' Payton Wilson: Makes seven stops in Week 6 victory

    Wilson registered seven tackles (four solo) in a 23-9 win over Cleveland on Sunday.

    Of Wilson's seven stops, five came on defensive plays and two came on special teams. The second year-linebacker has posted at least five tackles in all five of his games so far this season. He's up to 42 tackles (including 1.0 sacks) on the campaign.

  • Grant Delpit SAF | CLE

    Browns' Grant Delpit: Solid outing vs Steelers

    Delpit recorded six tackles (one solo) during Cleveland's loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

    Delpit played all but one defensive snap in Sunday's loss and has now racked up at least five tackles in four of his six appearances this season. The 27-year-old will look to keep producing in the team's Week 7 matchup versus the Dolphins.

  • T.J. Watt OLB | PIT

    Steelers' T.J. Watt: Productive in Week 6 win

    Watt posted five tackles, including 0.5 sacks, along with two defensed passes Sunday in a 23-9 victory against the Browns.

    Watt's half-sack came on a third-down play in the second quarter and resulted in a Cleveland punt. It was the third straight game in which Watt has gotten to the QB, and pushed his season mark to 3.5 sacks. Watt was deemed a non-participant in practice for rest purposes both Monday and Tuesday this week, but he's not at risk of missing Thursday night's clash against Cincinnati.

  • Brandon Jones SAF | DEN

    Broncos' Brandon Jones: Logs seven tackles vs. Jets

    Jones registered seven tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks, during the Broncos' 13-11 win over the Jets on Sunday.

    Jones played every single defensive snap for the second time in three games. He co-led the Broncos in tackles with Alex Singleton, which included a split sack on Justin Fields late in the fourth quarter to seal the victory for Denver. Jones has tallied at least seven tackles in four of six regular-season games and is up to 38 stops on the year.
