Trotter recorded 13 total tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Browns.

Trotter was able to lead the team in tackles while exceeding double-digit takedowns for the second straight game to open his NFL regular-season career. The linebacker has now compiled 24 total tackles (10 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pick-six over two contests this year.

Roush caught one of three targets for nine yards during the Bears' 9-3 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

The rookie third-rounder did not record a target in the Bears' Week 1 win over the Panthers, but Roush hauled in a nine-yard pass from Caleb Williams (hamstring) late in the third quarter for the former's first NFL catch. Roush is firmly behind Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet on the depth chart, although those three tight ends, along with the other Bears pass catchers, will all see their scoring floors lowered if Case Keenum is the starting quarterback against the Eagles in Week 3 if Williams and Tyson Bagent (concussion) are both unable to play.

Spillane logged six tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.

Spillane played 100 percent of the Patriots' 70 defensive snaps in Sunday's contest. The inside linebacker has now played all 120 of the team's defensive snaps through two regular-season games.

Carter registered five total tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 20-6 win over the Texans.

Carter was able to finish tied for fourth on the team in takedowns with cornerback DJ Turner, and one of the former's tackles was for a loss. The linebacker has played every defensive snap with the Bengals this season, and he figures to be on track for a big year if his workload remains that high.

Woods logged 10 tackles (eight solo) and defensed one pass in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.

Woods played 86 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps in Sunday's contest. The cornerback started in place of Carlton Davis (neck), and he'll likely do so again in Week 3 against the Jaguars if the latter remains absent.

Johnson recorded four total tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Sunday's 20-6 win over Houston.

Johnson was able to get to C.J. Stroud for a pair of sacks in the fourth quarter, and he has already matched his career high with 2.0 sacks this season. The defensive lineman was only on the field for 30 percent of the team's defensive snaps against Houston, and he's unlikely to repeat his performance Week 3 versus the Steelers.

Oliver caught his lone target for 24 yards during the Vikings' 9-3 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Oliver was listed as the co-starter at tight end with T.J. Hockenson, with the duo each playing 31 of 52 offensive snaps. Oliver's only target from Carson Wentz came late in the third quarter, when the duo connected for a 24-yard pass during a drive that ultimately ended in a punt four plays later. Oliver is up to a 3-46-0 line on five targets through two games, and his offensive upside will be limited while playing alongside Hockenson. However, the Vikings pass catchers as a whole should have an elevated scoring floor in Week 3 against the Buccaneers due to the expected return of Kyler Murray (concussion).

Ponder logged five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and recovered a fumble he returned for a touchdown in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.

Ponder recovered an Aaron Rodgers fumble and took it 19 yards for a touchdown to extend the Patriots' 13-3 lead to the game-winning 20-3 score. The outside linebacker played 77 percent of the team's defensive snaps in the contest.

Hill recorded 10 total tackles (four solo) and four passes defensed during Sunday's 20-6 win over the Texans.

Hill was able to have a rather productive day in Week 2, finishing second on the team in takedowns behind linebacker Demetrius Knight (12), while also securing a career-high four passes defensed. The cornerback has now registered 17 total tackles (11 solo) and four passes defensed over two games to open the 2026 campaign.

Elliss logged 12 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, and forced a fumble in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.

Elliss led all players in Sunday's contest in tackles. The inside linebacker played all 70 defensive snaps in the contest and has missed just one defensive snap through two regular-season games.
