Titans' Cedric Gray: Logs 16 tackles, sack in Week 9
Gray registered 16 tackles (11 solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Titans' 27-20 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
After logging just five stops in Week 8, Gray bounced back with another monster effort. Eleven of his 16 stops were solo, including his first sack of the 2025 campaign, when he took down Justin Herbert for a seven-yard loss early in the fourth quarter. Gray has reached double-digit tackles in five of his last six games, and his 91 stops (through nine regular-season games) are second most in the NFL behind Jordyn Brooks (93).

Bengals' Jordan Battle: Career-best 12 tackles in defeat
Battle recorded 12 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's loss to the Bears.
Battle's dozen tackles matched his career-high, a mark he's now hit three times, including Week 1 against the Browns. Battle has started all nine games this season and has posted 70 tackles (31 solo) and four pass breakups, including three interceptions, on 99 percent of the defensive snaps. However, Battle has been part of the seemingly weekly coverage busts on the back end of the Cincinnati defense.

Lions' Brian Branch: Six stops in return
Branch recorded six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.
Branch returned to the field for the first time since serving a one-game suspension and played 100 percent of snaps. He had a modest stat line, but he now has at least six stops in all but two contests for the campaign.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Leading tackler Sunday
Okereke logged 14 tackles (seven solo) in the Giants' loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Okereke was one of the few bright spots during the loss, leading the team with 14 tackles. The 29-year-old has now posted double-digit tackles four times this season and will look to keep producing in the Week 10 matchup versus the Bears.

Jack Campbell LB | DET
Lions' Jack Campbell: Big performance in loss
Campbell recorded nine tackles (six solo), including one sack and one tackle for loss in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.
After breaking out in 2024, Campbell is taking another step forward this season. He has at least eight tackles in every game and has one sack in each of his last three contests. Campbell should continue to play nearly every defensive snap for Detroit and is one of the best linebackers for IDP leagues.

Josh Metellus SAF | MIN
Vikings' Josh Metellus: Fine showing in win
Metellus recorded five tackles (one solo) during Sunday's 27-24 win at Detroit.
Metellus had recorded at least six tackles in three of the four games prior to Week 9, but he now has more work to do to get back on pace for 100 tackles on the season. He still projects as a fringe IDP candidate for a Week 10 matchup versus the Ravens thanks to his every-down role.

Jarrian Jones CB | JAC
Jaguars' Jarrian Jones: Season-high 10 tackles in win
Jones recorded 10 tackles (six solo) and one pass breakup in the Jaguars' win over the Raiders on Sunday.
With Travis Hunter (knee) injured, the Jaguars settled on a cornerback trio of Greg Newsome, Montaric Brown and Jones against Las Vegas. Jones matched his season-high with 47 defensive snaps against the Raiders, and his 10 tackles easily marked a new career-best mark for the second-year cornerback. Jones has posted 19 tackles (15 solo) and a pair of pass breakups across eight appearances, and one start, this season.

Darien Porter CB | LV
Raiders' Darien Porter: Ten stops in second career start
Porter logged 10 tackles (eight solo) during the Raiders' 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
The rookie third-rounder made the second start of his NFL career Sunday as Kyu Blu Kelly -- who started in the first seven games of the regular season -- served in a depth role. Porter made the most of his opportunity, playing all 80 defensive snaps while logging a career-high 10 stops, which was second most on the Raiders behind Devin White (16). Porter could make his third start in Week 10 against the Broncos.

Montaric Brown CB | JAC
Jaguars' Montaric Brown: First INT of season in win
Brown recorded five tackles (four solo) and one interception in the Jaguars' win over the Raiders on Sunday.
With Tyson Campbell traded to Cleveland and Travis Hunter (knee) injured, Brown has become more of an every-down cornerback for the Jaguars, logging at least 84 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the last three contests after playing a total of 52 defensive snaps across the first five weeks of the season. Brown has posted 16 tackles (14 solo) and four pass breakups, including the one interception, across six appearances.

Dane Belton SAF | NYG
Giants' Dane Belton: Racks up 13 tackles in loss
Belton recorded 13 tackles (four solo) in the Giants' loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Belton continues to dominate while filling in for Jevon Holland (knee), as he racked up a season-high 13 tackles in the loss. If Holland remains sidelined for the team's Week 10 matchup versus the Bears, Belton would get the start at safety for the third straight game.
