Franklin registered seven tackles (two solo) during the Colts' 36-19 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Franklin was one of three Colts defenders to play every single snap, and he led the team in tackles for a second consecutive game. The 2018 seventh-rounder is up to 94 combined stops through 13 regular-season games, and he should crack the tackling century mark for a fourth consecutive year. That could come as soon as this Sunday against the Seahawks.

Johnson recorded eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 36-19 win versus the Colts.

Johnson tied for his team's lead in tackles in Week 14 and compiled eight tackles for the first time since Week 5 of the 2024 season. His role in Week 15 versus the Jets could mostly depend on the availability of regular starting safety Andrew Wingard (concussion).

Deablo recorded six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.

Deablo has posted 22 tackles (17 solo) over the last three games since returning from injury. Still, his tackle count overall this season has been low with just 5.1 per game, but he should remain an every-snap linebacker for the fantasy playoffs against the Buccaneers, Cardinals and Rams.

Baun finished Monday's overtime loss to the Chargers with eight tackles (four solo), including 0.5 sacks.

Baun tied with three teammates for the Eagles' lead in stops. Among those tackles was an assisted sack shared with Jordan Davis. Baun hadn't recorded a sack or half-sack since Week 8 prior to Monday, but he's been a strong IDP asset with 104 tackles (including 3.5 sacks) and six defensed passes (including an interception) through 13 contests.

Elliss posted six tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.

Elliss is in his third season with the Falcons and is on track for 100 tackles once again, as he sits with 88 tackles (49 solo) through 13 games. The 2019 seventh-round pick has added four pass breakups, 3.5 sacks and an interception. He should be a sturdy fantasy option moving forward.

Landman logged two tackles (one solo) and two pass defenses, including an interception, during the Rams' 45-17 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Landman's two tackles were a season low, but he made his impact felt late in the third quarter, when he picked off a Jacoby Brissett pass intended for Michael Wilson, which led to a 31-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua on the next play. Landman is up to 108 combined tackles through 13 regular-season games and should surpass his career high that he set in 2023 as a member of the Falcons (110 combined tackles across 16 regular-season games). His next opportunity to do so is this Sunday against the Lions.

Oluokun recorded seven tackles (four solo) and two passes defensed during Sunday's 36-19 win versus the Colts.

Oluokun continued to contribute in multiple phases in Week 14, tallying seven-plus tackles for the ninth time this season and breaking up at least one pass for the eighth time this season. Especially in formats that reward pass breakups, he projects as a good IDP option for a Week 15 tilt versus the Jets.

Carter recorded seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 39-34 loss to the Bills.

Carter has played every defensive snap over the last eight games, producing 72 tackles (40 solo) and a pass breakup in the process. The rookie fourth-round pick should remain the starting middle linebacker for the rest of the season, making him an outstanding IDP option during the fantasy playoffs.

Blankenship made eight tackles (six solo) in Monday's overtime loss to the Chargers.

Blankenship was one of four Philadelphia players to finish with exactly eight tackles in the tough loss. The fourth-year safety has produced at least eight stops in three straight games after failing to do so in any of his first 10 contests of the campaign. Blankenship's surge has pushed him up to 72 tackles through 13 games -- he notched 78 stops in 15 regular-season contests last year.

DeJean recorded three tackles (two solo) and two pass breakups in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

DeJean played all 74 defensive snaps -- as he has for nearly the entire season -- but struggled to produce for fantasy purposes. Through 13 games, the second-year cornerback out of Iowa has produced 75 tackles (50 solo) and 12 pass breakups.
