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.

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.

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.

Singleton built off of his impressive performance in the regular-season opener, leading the team in takedowns for the second straight week. The linebacker has now registered 25 total tackles (10 solo) and a pass defensed over two games to open the season, and he'll likely remain busy versus the Rams in Week 3.

Jamien Sherwood LB | NYJ
Jets' Jamien Sherwood: Records six tackles in Week 2 loss
Sherwood posted six tackles (three solo) and a pass defense during the Jets' 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Sherwood was working through a minor knee issue during Week 2 prep, but he managed to play every single defensive snap during Sunday's OT loss and finished tied with Dane Belton for the most tackles on the Jets. Sherwood is up to 10 total tackles through two games, and he's currently behind pace to reach the 100-tackle mark for a third consecutive year. He'll have his hands full in the Jets' Week 3 road tilt against the Lions on Sunday.

Eagles' Zack Baun: Limited production in victory
Baun recorded four total tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 24-20 win over Tennessee.
Baun matched his season low in tackles from the 2025 campaign Sunday, but he was still on the field for all 53 of the team's defensive snaps in the contest. He has now compiled 16 total tackles (nine solo) and two passes defensed over two games this season. The linebacker will likely be more involved against the Bears on Monday Night Football in Week 3.

Raiders' Quay Walker: Strong performance in win
Walker logged 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.
Walker's 10 total tackles tied fellow linebacker Nakobe Dean for most on the team in Sunday's contest.

Walker now has 16 tackles (seven solo) through two regular-season games in 2026.

Warner's tackle total was down from Week 1 (11), but he punched a football out of a runner's hands for the second straight week and made a mark in the sack column. He'll be hoping to cause more chaos in a Week 3 matchup versus the Cardinals.
