Chargers' Daiyan Henley: INT caps excellent third year
Henley recorded 13 tackles (nine solo) and an interception in the 16-3 wild-card loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Henley didn't quite contend for the tackle-leader crown like he did in his breakout 2024 campaign, but the third-year linebacker cemented his status as one of the NFL's elite at the position with another 100-tackle campaign. Perhaps more importantly, the 2023 third-round pick became a more useful pass rusher, tallying 3.5 sacks mainly through a variety of stunt blitzes, and even recorded two INTs during the regular season. It's possible that Henley's excellent two-year run was a product of defensive coordinator Jessie Minter, who is an oft-rumored head-coach candidate during this cycle, but regardless the 26-year-old will be a name to circle come 2026. Henley, who enters the final year of his rookie contract, is eligible for an extension this offseason, but it remains unclear if the franchise will be willing to give out a lucrative contract after allowing past tackle leaders to hit the open market.

Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Relatively quiet Thursday
Henley recorded four tackles (one solo) during Thursday's 37-10 win versus the Vikings.
Henley played only 39 defensive snaps in the Week 8 game that got out of hand relatively quickly, limiting his tackling opportunities. IDP managers will hope he gets more chances in Week 9, but the Chargers will be traveling to take on a Tennessee squad that throws the ball more than almost any other team in the league.

Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Limited production in Week 7
Henley recorded two tackles in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Colts.
Henley was uncharacteristically quiet in Week 7, securing a season-low two stops. The linebacker was limited at practice throughout the week due to a groin injury, and it's possible his lack of production could be due to the injury. Henley has registered 48 total tackles (25 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and an interception over seven games this season.
