Singleton notched 14 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and defensed a pass in Sunday's 28-24 victory against the Chiefs.

Singleton continued to rack up a vast number of stops -- it was the fifth time this season he's recorded double-digit tackles. The star linebacker also registered a sack for the second straight week, coming up huge when he brought down Patrick Mahomes for a six-yard loss late in the fourth quarter on third down. The next play was a missed Harrison Butker 54-yard field-goal try, which led to Denver pulling off the comeback with a touchdown less than a minute later. Singleton has been an elite IDP asset in fantasy this season, as he leads the NFL by a wide margin with 101 tackles through eight weeks.

Jones recorded 13 tackles and a defensed pass in Monday's Week 8 loss to Chicago.

Jones not only led Seattle in stops in the loss, he also tied the season-high mark he first established in Week 1 versus New England. The veteran linebacker continues to be an impactful IDP asset in his sixth NFL campaign, as he ranks third in the NFL with 81 tackles through eight weeks. Jones has recorded at least eight stops in every one of his appearances this season.

McDuffie finished last Thursday's 27-19 win over Carolina with 10 tackles (three solo).

McDuffie tied with Evan Williams for the team lead in tackles. He played every one of the Packers' defensive snaps for the second straight game in the absence of Zaire Franklin (shin). McDuffie has tallied 21 tackles in the pair of contests, so he's looking like a strong IDP option, at least for as long as Franklin remains sidelined.

Hopper recorded eight tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and three defensed passes, including an interception, in last Thursday's 27-19 victory over Carolina.

Hopper finished third on Green Bay with his eight stops, but that was only one part of his impactful performance. The third-year linebacker picked off Bryce Young in the backfield in the second quarter to give the Packers the ball in Carolina territory, and he sacked Young early in the third period on a drive that ended in a Panthers punt. Hopper has started and logged over a 90 percent defensive snap share each of the past two weeks, and given his performance against Carolina, he doesn't figure to give up that role soon.

Williams recorded 10 total tackles (seven solo) during Thursday night's 27-19 win over the Panthers.

Williams finished tied for the team lead in takedowns with linebacker Isaiah McDuffie, notching double-digit stops for the fourth time this season. The safety has now compiled 71 total tackles (44 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding six passes defensed, two of which are interceptions, and a fumble recovery over the first eight games of the 2026 campaign.

Starks finished Sunday's loss to Buffalo with 10 tackles (five solo).

Starks was quite active as a tackler, finishing second on the Ravens in stops behind Roquan Smith (11). It was the second time Starks has notched double-digit tackles in a game this season, though he's averaged a more modest 5.2 stops in his other six games. With 51 total tackles through eight contests, he's on pace to exceed the 84 stops he recorded across 17 regular-season games as a rookie last year.

Wheatley recorded seven total tackles (four solo) and an interception during Thursday night's 27-19 loss to the Packers.

Wheatley was able to secure a career-high seven stops while his biggest play of the game came in the fourth quarter when he picked off a deep pass from Packers quarterback Jordan Love. The interception was the first of the Wheatley's career, and the rookie has now compiled 26 total tackles (19 solo), four passes defensed and a forced fumble over six contests during the 2026 campaign.

Oluokun recorded nine total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 42-7 win against the Colts.

Oluokun led the team in takedowns, notching at least eight tackles for the third straight game. The linebacker was also able to get to quarterback Daniel Jones for his first sack of the year in the second quarter, matching his season total from both the 2024 and 2025 campaigns. Oluokun is as steady as it gets from a fantasy perspective, and he has now registered 51 total tackles (31 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding two interceptions and a forced fumble over seven contests to open the regular season.

Cameron did not catch his lone target in a 42-7 rout of the Colts on Sunday. He returned one punt for six yards and one kickoff for 18 yards.

Jacksonville didn't need to go to its air game much given the easy win, and QB Trevor Lawrence threw just 14 passes. None of those went to Cameron -- his only target (which he didn't catch) came from backup signal-caller Quinn Ewers in garbage time. Cameron did log a season-high 52 percent offensive snap share, but game script didn't do him any favors in terms of production. With no catches in three of his seven games this season, Cameron doesn't make for an appealing fantasy asset.

Lane recorded four total tackles (one solo) and three passes defensed, including a pick-six, during Sunday's 42-7 win over the Colts.

Lane played every one of the team's defensive snaps in Week 8, stepping into a starting role in the secondary with Antonio Johnson (ankle) unavailable. The 23-year-old's biggest moment of the game came in the second quarter when he jumped in front of a pass from Colts quarterback Daniel Jones for an interception, returning it 92 yards for his first career defensive touchdown. Lane has now compiled 20 total tackles (10 solo) and four passes defensed, including Sunday's pick-six, over seven contests during the 2026 campaign.
