  • Zack Baun LB | PHI

    Eagles' Zack Baun: Notches half-sack in Week 14 loss

    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.

  • Kaden Elliss LB | NO

    Falcons' Kaden Elliss: Tallies six stops

    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.

  • Nate Landman LB | LAR

    Rams' Nate Landman: Picks off Brissett in Week 14 win

    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.

  • Foye Oluokun LB | JAC

    Jaguars' Foyesade Oluokun: Solid in win vs. Colts

    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.

  • Barrett Carter LB | CIN

    Bengals' Barrett Carter: Up to 90 tackles

    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.

  • Eagles' Reed Blankenship: Ties for team lead in stops Week 14

    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.

  • Cooper DeJean CB | PHI

    Eagles' Cooper DeJean: Breaks up two passes in loss

    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.

  • Dolphins' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Posts four stops in Week 14 win

    Fitzpatrick tallied four tackles (two solo) in a 34-10 win against the Jets on Sunday.

    Fitzpatrick was relatively quiet from an IDP perspective, posting his lowest tackle mark since Week 8. He also logged a season-low 72 percent defensive snap share. However, that was due to the blowout nature of the game, as Fitzpatrick has played well during his return to Miami, posting 76 tackles (including 1.0 sacks) and six defensed passes (including an interception) through 13 games.

  • Derwin James FS | LAC

    Chargers' Derwin James: Mostly quiet in win

    James recorded three tackles (three solo) during Monday's 22-19 win versus the Eagles.

    As has been the case for much of the year, James' contributions were felt more in coverage than on the stat sheet in Week 14, and quarterback Jalen Hurts finished the contest with four interceptions. He figures to spend plenty more time in coverage in a Week 15 matchup at Kansas City.

  • Eagles' Adoree' Jackson: Snares first INT of season

    Jackson recorded five solo tackles, two pass breakups and an interception in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

    Jackson now has 43 tackles (33 solo), eight pass breakups and an interception over 11 games. The low tackle count makes him difficult to depend on for fantasy purposes, but he continues to provide plenty of real-life value for the Eagles' secondary.
