Panthers' Bobby Okereke: Nine tackles, INT in Week 2 win
Okereke recorded nine tackles (six solo) and an interception in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Falcons.
Okereke signed with the Panthers just over three weeks ago and has already carved out a prominent role at linebacker alongside Devin Lloyd. Both made noise against Atlanta, as the duo combined for three interceptions. Through two games, Okereke has logged 15 tackles (nine solo), one QB hit and the interception on one pass breakup across 80.6 percent of the Panthers' defensive snaps.

Devin Bush LB | CHI
Bears' Devin Bush: Tallies four tackles Sunday
Bush recorded four tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 9-3 loss versus the Vikings.
Bush played all 52 of Chicago's defensive snaps in Week 2, but he only managed four tackles, even against a run-heavy Minnesota attack. Managers relying on him for IDP production will be hoping for more in a Week 3 tilt versus the Eagles.

T.J. Edwards LB | CHI
Bears' T.J. Edwards: Makes four tackles in loss
Edwards recorded four tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 9-3 loss versus the Vikings.
Edwards played on 100 percent of the Bears' defensive snaps for the second time in as many games to open the season. However, Edwards' tackle total remained modest, and he'll look to boost his production in a Week 3 matchup against the Eagles.

Leo Chenal LB | WAS
Commanders' Leo Chenal: Double-digit stops in loss
Chenal recorded 12 total tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys.
Chenal stepped into a starting role at inside linebacker with Frankie Luvu (groin) sidelined, and he responded by leading the team in takedowns in the loss. If Luvu remains sidelined in Week 3, Chenal will have a chance to be busy again versus Seattle.

Jets' Demario Davis: Logs four tackles in Week 2 OT loss
Davis posted four tackles (three solo) during the Jets' 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Davis was one of six Jets players to play all 59 defensive snaps during Sunday's OT loss. The veteran linebacker is up to 12 total tackles through two games and on pace to crack 100 tackles for a 10th straight year and the 13th time in his NFL career. He should stay busy Week 3 against the Lions on Sunday.

Giants' Jevon Holland: Forces two turnovers in loss
Holland logged eight tackles (five solo), one pass defensed for an interception and one fumble recovery in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams.
Holland tied Tyler Nubin for the most Giants tackles in Monday's loss. The free safety picked off reigning MVP Matthew Stafford in the second quarter of the game as the Giants tried to mount a comeback. Holland also helped force and recovered a Kyren Williams fumble at the Rams' 11-yard line late in the first half, setting up the first of two field goals that constituted New York's scoring Monday night.

Kaden Elliss LB | NO
Saints' Kaden Elliss: Makes six tackles Sunday
Elliss recorded six tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 24-17 win at Baltimore.
Elliss again led Saints linebackers in defensive snaps (58) in Week 2, and he racked up six-plus tackles for his third straight contest going back to last season. He will likely play a similarly large role at linebacker in Week 3 versus the Raiders.

Devin Lloyd LB | CAR
Panthers' Devin Lloyd: Fills up box score in Week 2 win
Lloyd recorded nine tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sack, and three pass breakups, including a pair of interceptions, in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Falcons.
Additionally, Lloyd returned one of his two INTs for a 16-yard touchdown in the third quarter when he picked off undrafted rookie Jack Strand. Lloyd's first INT came against Cooper Rush on the previous Atlanta possession. Through two games, the Carolina linebacker has piled up 22 tackles (16 solo) while playing 85 percent of the defensive snaps.
-
Pete Werner LB | NO
Saints' Pete Werner: Saints' leading tackler in win
Werner recorded 11 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 24-17 win at Baltimore.
Werner was one of the main factors in keeping the Ravens' rushing attack in check in Week 2, and he managed his best tackle total since Week 5 of the 2025 season. He'll be hoping to keep the momentum up in a Week 3 tilt versus the Raiders.

Hezekiah Masses CB | LV
Raiders' Hezekiah Masses: Two picks in win
Masses recorded five tackles (four solo) and two interceptions in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.
Masses picked off Justin Herbert in the first and fourth quarters, helping the Raiders secure an upset over a division rival. The fifth-round rookie put together a stellar performance while playing 73 percent of the defensive snaps in Sunday's contest, likely securing himself the starting cornerback role in Darien Porter's (foot) absence.
