David logged nine tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 23-20 win over Atlanta.

David finished fourth on the Bucs in stops, as the team had three players hit the double-digit mark. Among the linebacker's tackles was one that went for a loss, and he also registered a QB hit. David has reached triple-digit tackles in seven of his past eight seasons and is off to a fast start in his quest to reach that mark again this year.

Watt logged five tackles (three solo) and a pass deflection during Pittsburgh's win over the Jets on Sunday.

Watt managed to have a strong performance in his season debut despite not recording a sack. The 30-year-old has racked up double-digit sacks in seven of his nine previous seasons, which earned him a three-year, $123 million extension in July, and he will look to bring down Sam Darnold for his first sack of the campaign next week versus the Seahawks.

Luvu posted seven tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 21-6 victory over the Giants.

Luvu finished second on the Commanders in tackles behind Bobby Wagner (10). His tally was right in line with his norm last season, when the veteran linebacker recorded 99 stops over 17 regular-season games. Luvu had a career-best 125 tackles with Carolina in 2023.

The Eagles acquired Bigsby from the Jaguars on Monday in exchange for 2026 fifth- and sixth-round draft picks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Bigsby took a back seat to Travis Etienne in the Jaguars' Week 1 win over the Panthers, getting outsnapped 40-14 and out-touched 19-5. All of Bigsby's touches were carries for a measly 12 yards, while Etienne ripped off 156 yards from scrimmage. With the move to Philadelphia, Bigsby may be able to step in as the team's No. 2 back right away after Will Shipley suffered a rib injury in last Thursday's win over the Cowboys. However, Saquon Barkley will continue to handle a bell-cow role out of the backfield, and veteran AJ Dillon also is on hand as depth. More than likely, Bigsby's immediate impact will occur on kick returns.

Dodson recorded 13 tackles (six solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 33-8 loss to the Colts.

Dodson was a mainstay in the middle of the Miami defense, playing 100 percent of defensive snaps alongside Jordyn Brooks. Dodson logged his third double-digit tackle effort in nine games with the Dolphins, and he should continue to rack up stops as a key member of the defensive unit.

Young logged nine tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 14-9 win over Houston.

Young was one of three Rams players to record a sack Sunday, with his takedown of C.J. Stroud early in the second quarter leading to a Texans punt two plays later. Young logged 15.5 sacks over the first two years of his NFL career, and the 2023 third-rounder is expected to play a prominent role in the Rams' pass rush alongside fellow edge rusher Jared Verse.

Curl logged 10 tackles (eight solo) during the Rams' 14-9 win over the Texans on Sunday.

Curl was one of two Rams players to play all 63 defensive snaps and he co-led the team in combined tackles with Nate Landman. It was the 10th time in Curl's career that he has logged at least 10 combined tackles in a game, six of which have come since Week 4 of the 2023 season. The 2020 seventh-rounder is in the final year of his two-year, $9 million contract that he signed with the Rams in March of 2024.

Ferguson played five snaps on special teams during Sunday's 14-9 win against the Texans.

Despite the second-round pedigree, Ferguson spent his first career regular-season game on the bench the Rams were on offense, failing to secure a single snap from scrimmage. Colby Parkinson (shoulder) had a rough day, however, taking two catches for minus-6 yards and losing a fumble while also sustaining a sprained AC joint in the victory. This may open the door for Ferguson to earn some snaps on offense in Week 2 alongside Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen, although a Titans defense that has been tough on tight ends under defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson may not be the most ideal setting for a breakout.

Wagner registered 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 21-6 Week 1 victory versus the Giants.

Wagner led Washington with 10 tackles, one of which went for a loss. The veteran linebacker also had 10 stops in Week 1 last year and finished with 132 total tackles over 17 regular-season contests. Wagner has never recorded fewer than 104 stops in any season over his 13-year-plus NFL career.

Brooks recorded 14 tackles (five solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 33-8 loss to the Colts.

Brooks was one of four Miami defenders to play 100 percent of defensive snaps. His 14 total tackles were his highest total since Week 12 of the 2022 campaign, and he's already well on his way to matching his three double-digit tackle performances of 2024.
