James totaled 11 tackles (six solo) in Dallas' loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

James had a strong outing despite the loss, as he led the team in tackles. The rookie fifth-round pick has gotten off to a hot start since making his debut in the Week 4 tie versus the Packers, as he's recorded 31 tackles (15 solo) in just three games played.

Sneed finished Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Raiders with 10 tackles (six solo).

Sneed's 10 stops Sunday easily marked a season high -- previously, his highwater mark was four tackles in Week 5 versus Arizona. The veteran cornerback has had a quiet start to the season with 24 tackles through six weeks, though he's also posted three defensed passes.

Curl registered five tackles (four solo) during the Rams' 17-3 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Curl was on the field for 73 of 78 defensive snaps and logged five tackles for a sixth consecutive game. The 2020 seventh-rounder is up to 47 stops on the season -- second most on the Rams behind Nate Landman (58) -- and Curl is on pace to surpass his total from the 2024 campaign (79 tackles across 16 regular-season games).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
