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.

Dean recorded seven tackles (three solo), 1.0 sacks and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Chargers.

Dean missed the first five games due to a knee injury he suffered during last year's playoff run, but now that he's back to full speed, he is providing a significant boost to the Eagles' pass rush with 4.0 sacks over the last five games. The 2022 third-round pick already has a career high in the category. He'll look to continue the momentum over the next two weeks against the Raiders and Commanders.

Newsome registered five solo tackles and two pass defenses, including an interception, during Jacksonville's 36-19 win over Indianapolis on Sunday.

Newsome picked off a Riley Leonard pass intended for Michael Pittman early in the fourth quarter, though the Jaguars offense was unable to convert the turnover into points despite entering the red zone. It was Newsome's first interception of the regular season, and through eight games with the Jaguars he has posted 19 tackles (14 solo) and five pass defenses.

Jefferson recorded five tackles (five solo) and an interception during Monday's 22-19 win versus the Eagles.

Jefferson recorded an interception for the second straight game in Week 14, this time catching a red-zone pass that was tipped up by 2024 fifth-rounder Cam Hart to clinch a Chargers win in overtime. His role in Week 15 at Kansas City may largely depend on the health of teammate Elijah Molden (hamstring).

Davis recorded six tackles (three solo) and 1.5 sacks in Monday's 22-19 loss to the Chargers.

Davis is tied with Jalyx Hunt for the team lead with 4.5 sacks through 13 games. The 2022 first-round pick is accumulating tackles at a high rate with 55 tackles (27 solo) through 13 games, and he has added six pass breakups, too. For his position, he's a high-end fantasy option.

Young posted eight tackles (two solo) and 1.5 sacks in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

It has been a turbulent start to Young's career, as the 2023 third-round pick played just six games as a rookie and was cut by the Raiders during the 2024 training camp. He never played during the 2024 season, but he made the Eagles roster in 2025 and has played in all 13 games. Young finally posted a notable stat line this week with a career high in tackles while adding the first sacks of his career.

Brooks finished with five tackles (four solo) in a 34-10 win over the Jets on Sunday.

This was a modest performance by Brooks' standards, as he finished below double-digit stops for the first time in four games. However, the veteran linebacker still leads the NFL with 142 total tackles through 13 games. Brooks' career-high for stops in a regular season is 184, which he established in 2021 with Seattle.

Hines-Allen posted five tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Jaguars' 36-19 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Hines-Allen tallied a safety for the Jaguars midway through the fourth quarter, when he took down Riley Leonard in the end zone for a nine-yard sack. Hines-Allen had just 0.5 sacks through the first seven games of the regular season, but he has accumulated 6.5 sacks over the six games since the Week 8 bye and has logged at least 1.0 sacks over his last four games. He'll look to add to his total in Week 15 against the Jets, who could have undrafted rookie Brady Cook start at quarterback if both Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) are unable to play.

Hand recorded two tackles (one solo) and an interception during Monday's 22-19 win versus the Eagles.

Hand fooled quarterback Jalen Hurts by dropping back from the line of scrimmage into coverage in the middle of the second quarter, and the short pass ended up being thrown straight to him. The ball was punched out of his hands on the return and subsequently recovered by Hurts, who then coughed it up for linebacker Troy Dye to recover. Hand will be looking to cause more chaos in a Week 15 matchup against a pass-dependent Kansas City offense.

Hunt recorded eight tackles (four solo), 2.5 sacks and a fumble recovery in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

Hunt posted just 2.0 sacks through the first 12 games, but he more than doubled up with this outstanding performance. The 2024 third-round pick continues to play around 60 percent of the defensive snaps in each game. He's now tied for the team lead in sacks (4.5) with Jordan Davis. However, Hunt's low tackle total (40 through 13 games) is still a liability for fantasy purposes.
