Saints' Justin Reid: Racks up 13 tackles Sunday
Reid recorded 13 tackles (seven solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 34-10 loss against the Rams.
Reid was on the field for a season-high 76 defensive snaps in Week 9, and he made the most of his workload by posting the highest single-game tackle total of his career. A matchup against a run-heavy Carolina squad could set him up nicely to make some more stops in Week 10.

Chiefs' Nick Bolton: Racks up 14 tackles
Bolton recorded 14 tackles (five solo), including one tackle for loss in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Bills.
Bolton saw his snaps dip slightly in Weeks 7 and 8, but he returned to a 100 percent clip in Week 9. He responded by matching his season-high with 14 tackles, although only five were solo. Bolton is having a bounce-back season after a disappointing 2024.

Bills' Terrel Bernard: Six tackles in win over Kansas City
Bernard recorded six tackles (four solo) in the Bills' win over the Chiefs on Sunday.
Bernard has started all seven games in which he's appeared this season, as he missed one contest with an ankle issue. After missing the Bills' Week 8 win over the Panthers, Bernard played 98 percent of the defensive snaps against Kansas City. He's up to 36 tackles (25 solo), one interception on one pass breakup and two fumble recoveries this season.

Jihad Ward LB | TEN
Titans' Jihad Ward: Disruptive pass rush in Week 9 loss
Ward logged four tackles (two solo), including 2.5 sacks, during the Titans' 27-20 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Ward contributed to three of the Titans' six sacks Sunday, two of which were solo takedowns of Justin Herbert in the second and fourth quarters. The veteran pass rusher did not record a sack through the first six games of the regular season, but he has accumulated 3.5 sacks over his last three games while seeing more defensive snaps due to the absence of rookie second-rounder Oluwafemi Oladejo (leg - IR).

Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Logs sack in win
Henley totaled seven tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Chargers' win over the Titans on Sunday.

Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair: Nine stops in loss to Denver
Al-Shaair recorded nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.
Al-Shaiir's nine tackles were his second-most of the season, as he's started all eight games and played 98 percent of the Texans' defensive snaps. He's up to 51 tackles (26 solo), five pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery on the campaign.

Demario Davis OLB | NO
Saints' Demario Davis: Logs season-high tackle total
Davis recorded 13 tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 34-10 loss against the Rams.
Davis has now collected double-digit tackles in six of his last eight showings, and he's already on the doorstep of his ninth straight year with 100-plus tackles. He figures to have another opportunity at a big game in Week 10 against a run-dependent Carolina offense.

Trent McDuffie CB | KC
Chiefs' Trent McDuffie: Huge performance against Buffalo
McDuffie recorded 12 tackles (five solo), including one sack and one tackle for loss in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Bills.
The Chiefs shuffled their secondary alignment in Week 9, with McDuffie logging a season-high 28 snaps from the slot. That led to 35 snaps in a run defense role, which helped McDuffie tally a career-high 12 tackles. It remains to be seen if this usage carries forward, but it would benefit McDuffie's IDP outlook.

Nate Landman LB | LAR
Rams' Nate Landman: Five tackles against New Orleans
Landman recorded five tackles (zero solo) and one forced fumble in the Rams' win over the Saints on Sunday.
While Landman played 93 percent of the defensive snaps against New Orleans, the Rams' defense was barely on the field, as the Saints mustered just 10 first downs on the day and ran just 40 offensive plays, as they were tripled up in time of possession. On the season, Landman has posted 72 tackles (33 solo), including 1.5 sacks, four pass breakups, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries on 92 percent of the defensive snaps.

Cody Barton LB | TEN
Titans' Cody Barton: Pick-six in Week 9 loss
Barton recorded six tackles (two solo), including a pick-six, during the Titans' 27-20 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Barton opened the scoring early in the second quarter, when he picked off a Justin Herbert pass intended for Keenan Allen and returned it 24 yards for a touchdown. It was Barton's third interception of the season and second pick-six of his career. Heading into the Week 10 bye, the 2019 third-rounder is up to 51 tackles (27 solo) and four pass defenses through nine regular-season games.
