  • Jaquan Brisker SAF | PIT

    Bears' Jaquan Brisker: Notches just two tackles

    Brisker posted two solo tackles in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers.

    Brisker finished with a season low in tackles. He was averaging 5.2 stops per game heading into this contest while adding five pass breakups, a sack and an interception. The fourth-year safety is in a contract year and will look to bounce back in Week 15 versus the Browns.

  • Geno Stone SAF | BUF

    Bengals' Geno Stone: Racks up nine tackles Sunday

    Stone recorded nine tackles (seven solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 39-34 loss at Buffalo.

    Stone tied for his team's lead in tackles in a Week 14 shootout, adding on to what is already a career-best year in that category. With 93 tackles through 13 games, he could surpass the century mark in a Week 15 tilt versus the run-heavy Ravens.

  • Bills' Christian Benford: Clutch pick-six vs. Cincinnati

    Benford tallied 1.0 sacks and a pick-six during the Bills' 39-34 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Benford made the the play of the game for the Billls midway through the fourth quarter, when he picked off a short pass from Joe Burrow and took it to the house for a 63-yard pick-six. It's the second week in a row that Benford has scored a defensive touchdown, and the fourth-year corner is up to 39 tackles (28 solo), including 2.0 sacks, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries through 12 regular-season games.

  • Cedric Gray LB | TEN

    Titans' Cedric Gray: Keeps stacking up stops

    Gray posted 10 tackles (seven solo) and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 31-29 win over the Titans.

    This was the seventh time in 10 games that Gray notched double-digit tackles, totaling 109 stops in that stretch. The 2024 fourth-round pick is ranked fifth in the league with 128 stops after he played just 48 defensive snaps as a rookie. He's a surefire IDP option heading into the fantasy playoffs.

  • Brandon Jones SAF | DEN

    Broncos' Brandon Jones: Records just one tackle Sunday

    Jones recorded one tackle (one solo) during Sunday's 24-17 win at Las Vegas.

    In a game where the Raiders' offense struggled to stay on the field, Jones was only needed for a season-low 43 defensive snaps, leading to a poor day on the stat sheet. He'll be looking to get more involved in a Week 15 matchup versus the run-heavy Packers.

  • Titans' Jeffery Simmons: Notches 1.5 sacks

    Simmons recorded seven tackles (two solo), 1.5 sacks and a pass breakup in Sunday's 31-29 win over the Browns.

    Simmons has accumulated 8.0 sacks through 11 games, leading the Titans in the category and sitting just 0.5 sacks behind his career high. The 28-year-old defensive tackle is in the second year of a four-year, $94 million extension that he signed back in April of 2023, providing a strong value at his position on the rebuilding team.

  • Talanoa Hufanga SAF | DEN

    Broncos' Talanoa Hufanga: Mostly unremarkable day Sunday

    Hufanga recorded five tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 24-17 win at Las Vegas.

    Hufanga only had to play 44 defensive snaps in Week 14, contributing to a depressed tackle total compared to recent weeks. With 94 tackles through 13 games, he's now on the doorstep of the first 100-plus tackle season of his career and he should get plenty of opportunities in a matchup versus a run-first Packers offense in Week 15.

  • Haason Reddick OLB | TB

    Buccaneers' Haason Reddick: Limited in Tuesday's walkthrough

    Reddick (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

    Reddick sustained an ankle injury during the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday. Reddick was listed as a DNP on Monday's practice report, but his ability to participate in Tuesday's walkthrough has him trending in the right direction. His practice participation in Wednesday's session will provide clarity on his status ahead of Thursday's game against the Falcons.

  • Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Logs another limited session

    McMillan (neck) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

    McMillan is inching his way toward making his 2025 debut after starting the year on injured reserve due to a neck injury. The Buccaneers will have a normal practice Wednesday, and McMillan's participation in that session will provide clarity on whether he'll be able to play Thursday against Atlanta.

  • Rashad Wisdom SAF | TB

    Buccaneers' Rashad Wisdom: Ramping up to full speed

    Wisdom (quadriceps) was a full participant during Tampa Bay's walkthrough practice Tuesday.

    Wisdom was unable to return from his extended absence with a quad injury in Week 14 versus the Saints, but it appears he might have a good chance to do so in Week 15. If he practices in full Wednesday, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Buccaneers activate him from their injured reserve list ahead of Thursday's game versus the Falcons.
