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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
