Cook registered 10 tackles (five solo) during the Bengals' win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Cook had his most productive outing of the campaign, logging a season-high 10 tackles. The 2022 second-round pick will look to build on this performance and keep producing during the team's Week 10 matchup versus the Steelers.

Tranquill collected 13 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 35-12 win over the Jets.

It was Tranquill's second double-digit tackles game of the season, and both have come over the last three weeks. The veteran linebacker has piled up 66 tackles (33 solo), two pass breakups and one fumble recovery on 88 percent of the defensive snaps across eight games this season.

Gonzalez logged 10 tackles (nine solo) and one pass defense during the Patriots' 45-27 loss to the Packers in Week 9.

Gonzalez's 10 stops were a season high, but the larger concern was his poor performance in coverage. Per Pro Football Focus, Gonzalez on coverage for 11 catches for 192 yards and two touchdowns, and quarterback Jordan Love had a 158.3 passing rating while targeting the fourth-year defensive back. It wasn't the performance that the Patriots were expecting after signing Gonzalez to a lucrative four-year, $135 million contract extension in September. Things won't get easier for him nor the Patriots' secondary, as they travel to Munich for Week 10 against the Lions, whose offense ranks fourth in the NFL in yards per game (379.8).

Carter compiled 10 tackles (two solo), an interception and a pass deflection during Cincinnati's win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Carter had one of his most productive outings of the season during the victory, as he matched Bryan Cook for the most tackles on the team in addition to recording his first interception of the campaign. The 2025 fourth-round pick has racked up 68 tackles (28 solo), including 1.5 sacks, an interception and two forced fumbles across eight games this season and will look to keep producing next week versus the Steelers.

Williams logged five tackles (four solo) and one interception during the Packers' 45-27 win over the Patriots in Week 9.

Brandon Cisse broke up a deep pass from Drake Maye to Kyle Williams early in the second quarter, and Williams was able to make a toe-tapping grab for the takeaway. Williams is up to three interceptions on the year, which ties his career high that he set across 16 regular-season games in 2025. The third-year defensive back is up to 76 tackles (48 solo), including 1.0 sacks, seven pass defenses and one fumble recovery through nine regular-season games.

McKinney posted four tackles (two solo) and two interceptions during the Packers' 45-27 win over the Patriots in Week 9.

Both of McKinney's interceptions took place in the first half, and the Packers offense capitalized by scoring touchdowns off of each of those two takeaways. It was the second time this season that McKinney logged two picks, and his five interceptions are tied with Amani Hooker for most in the NFL. McKinney is up to 38 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and six pass defenses through nine regular-season games.

Brooks recorded 12 tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 19-9 loss versus the Lions.

Brooks played all 59 of the Dolphins' defensive snaps in Week 9, and he compiled a double-digit tackle total for the fourth time in his last six games. He's easily on pace for his sixth consecutive 100-tackle season going into a Week 10 matchup at Indianapolis.

Bailey tallied nine tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles during the Jets' loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Bailey had a productive outing despite the loss as he was the only Jets defender to record a sack. The 23-year-old has gotten off to a strong start during his rookie campaign, compiling 34 tackles (26 solo), including 7.5 sacks, and five forced fumbles across his first eight games.

Rodriguez recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 19-9 loss versus the Lions.

Rodriguez and the entire Dolphins defense performed well against a strong Detroit offense in Week 9, especially against the run. Rodriguez also recorded the first sack of his pro career late in the first quarter, pushing quarterback Jared Goff out of bounds for no gain. He ranks seventh in the NFL in total tackles on the season going into a Week 10 tilt at Indianapolis.

McDuffie registered 10 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery during the Packers' 45-27 win over the Patriots in Week 9.

McDuffie's first tackle of the game was a nine-yard sack on Drake Maye early in the first quarter, which led to the Patriots punting the ball away on the next play. McDuffie also recovered the fumble he forced late in the third quarter, which the Packers offense turned into a 37-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Love to Christian Watson one play later. McDuffie has racked up double-digit stops in three consecutive games, and he's been the starting inside linebacker in each of those contests due to the absence of Zaire Franklin (shin). McDuffie should hang onto his starting role against the Vikings on Sunday assuming Franklin is ruled out for that game.
