• Rashan Gary rising: Gary played his highest snap share of the season coming out of the team’s bye week and while he didn’t have a huge game in the score sheet, he continued to post some of the best pass-rush metrics in the league and can be locked into starting IDP lineups going forward.
• Jamal Adams no longer limited: Adams saw ideal IDP safety usage in his first every-down game since 2011, putting him back in the weekly starter territory for fantasy purposes.
• Jaelan Phillips also gets back to his regular workload: A common theme this week was star IDPs ramping back up their playing time and Phillips was no exception, leading to a strong game.
Estimated reading time: 38 minutes
Week 7 Takeaways
Waiver wire
- LB Tyrel Dodson, Buffalo Bills: Given Dorian Williams‘ benching and Dodson's better play, IDP managers will want to add Dodson but wait on starting him in Week 8 because nothing is yet set in stone for the Bills’ lineup.
- LB Jack Campbell, Detroit Lions: Campbell finally moved up the depth chart in a meaningful way for IDP this week, playing a season-high 90% of Detroit's defensive snaps. Interestingly, Campbell played 27 (50%) of his defensive snaps on the edge, which hurt his tackle efficiency. The overall workload should lead to more productive games for the first-round rookie as long as he continues to be the team’s secondary linebacker option for the remainder of the year.
- LB Drue Tranquill, Kansas City Chiefs: With Nick Bolton out, Tranquill should be considered a priority add off the waiver wire (again). Tranquill was a full-time player in previous weeks with Bolton out of the lineup, which continued in this game once Bolton left.
- LB Luke Masterson, Las Vegas Raiders: Should Divine Deablo miss time, Masterson would be the next man up and a part-time player to consider for deeper leagues.
- LB David Mayo, Washington Commanders: Mayo will be a viable linebacker option in deeper leagues while Cody Barton is out. Mayo won’t likely play a full-time role — probably between 70-80% of the team's defensive snaps— but could still be productive for IDP managers in need.
- ED Odafe Oweh, Baltimore Ravens: Oweh returned after a four-game absence and immediately looked like the Ravens’ best pass-rusher again. Oweh registered his first sack of the year to go along with four total pressures. Oweh should be in consideration as a pickup for IDP rosters in need of edge depth.
- ED Darrell Taylor, Seattle Seahawks: Taylor should play a larger role going forward with Nwosu out for the year. Taylor led the team with 1.5 sacks this week.
- S Andre Chachere, Arizona Cardinals: With Jalen Thompson out and K’Von Wallace seemingly demoted, Chachere played an every-down role and even led the team in total tackles. He can be useful in deeper leagues.
- S Jonathan Owens, Green Bay Packers: With Darnell Savage expected to miss time, Owens would be his replacement for IDP managers searching the waiver wire in deeper leagues.
- S Andrew Wingard, Jacksonville Jaguars: Should Andre Cisco miss any time, Wingard is the clear next man up and can be started in deeper leagues.

| Josh Woods | 86.4% | 84.8% | 92.3% | 17.6% | 9 |
- Point of interest: Kyzir White had an unusually quiet day relative to his season. Luckily, it wasn't due to injury or lost playing time, instead, it was just an unfortunate box score that should bounce back in future games thanks to his every-down role in the defense.

| Andre Chachere | 100.0% | 1.7% | 1.7% | 35.6% | 33.9% | 23.7% |
- Trending down: K’Von Wallace was active for this game but didn’t play a single defensive snap. He did play six special teams snaps. Wallace will be droppable in most leagues if this happens again next week. Wallace’s demotion did come out of nowhere, so it could be worth waiting for one more week in deeper leagues, if necessary. However, he should not be started in any league size in Week 8.
- Waiver wire: With Jalen Thompson out and Wallace seemingly demoted, Andre Chachere played an every-down role and even led the team in total tackles. He can be useful in deeper leagues.

| Ta'Quon Graham | 28.8% | 38.1% | 25.0% | 53.1 | 0.0% | 0.0% |
- Point of interest: David Onyemata is having a career year in terms of pass-rush grade (83.7) and overall defensive grade (89.5) this season. He now has 2.5 sacks on the year with strong pass-rush metrics and playing time, making him a viable weekly starter in DT-required leagues.
LINEBACKER
| Player | Total defensive snap share | 1st/2nd down snap share | 3rd/4th down snap share | Tackle efficiency | Total Tackles (PFF) |

| Nate Landman | 76.7% | 88.1% | 28.6% | 17.9% | 10 |
- Point of interest: For the fourth-straight game, Nate Landman has out-produced Kaden Elliss as a tackler, despite not playing nearly as many snaps. This also marks the third time in the past four games that Landman has doubled the number of tackles that Elliss has produced. Elliss is emerging as one of the league’s most inefficient tacklers at the position (10.1%) and is not a must-start option going forward while this slump continues.

- Waiver wire: Odafe Oweh returned after a four-game absence and immediately looked like the Ravens’ best pass-rusher again. Oweh registered his first sack of the year to go along with four total pressures. Oweh should be in consideration as a pickup for IDP rosters in need of edge depth.
- Point of interest: Kyle Van Noy also added two sacks but his role was reduced this week with Oweh back in the mix.

- Point of interest: It’s clear that the Ravens do not feel as comfortable deploying Kyle Hamilton closer to the line of scrimmage while Marcus Williams is out of the lineup. He has seen a clear shift in alignment with Williams out this season and has had to fill in as a deep safety more than getting the ideal IDP alignments.

| Kingsley Jonathan | 1.7% | 0.0% | 2.7% | 59.1 |
- Point of interest: Von Miller’s third game back from a torn ACL had his snap share drop significantly after slightly progressing over the previous two weeks. In a post-game press conference, Miller suggested that it was not due to an injury setback but more due to the Patriots running the ball more in the second half, which caused the Bills to lean on Shaq Lawson. Miller should not be started in IDP lineups until his snaps get over 50% and remain that way consistently.

| Dorian Williams | 35.0% | 37.5% | 30.0% | 28.6% | 6 |
- Trending down: Dorian Williams was benched in the second quarter and replaced by Tyrel Dodson. Williams had two missed tackles and finished with a 55.0 defensive grade. Dodson did not miss any tackles and finished with a strong 73.6 defensive grade. The Bills are playing on a short week and neither player should necessarily be started in IDP lineups on Thursday night.
- Waiver wire: Given Dorian Williams‘ benching and Dodson's better play, IDP managers will want to add Dodson but wait on starting him in Week 8 because nothing is yet set in stone for the Bills’ lineup.

It’s certainly possible that the team will continue to rotate this group once Sione Takitaki returns from his injury, but this is a positive sign that the team trusts Walker over anyone else in this linebacker corps.
- Trending down: With Walker’s ascension comes Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah’s descension, as he's playing less than 50% of the team’s defensive snaps in this game. He continues to be a difficult player to trust in IDP leagues.

- Point of interest: Baron Browning made his season debut this week and while he had a quiet day in the box score, it is possible that his workload will ramp up in the weeks ahead. He posted, by far, the best pass-rush grade on the team (90.8), which included four pressures on just 17 pass-rush attempts.

- Waiver wire: Jack Campbell finally moved up the depth chart in a meaningful way for IDP this week, playing a season-high 90% of Detroit's defensive snaps. Interestingly, Campbell played 27 (50%) of his defensive snaps on the edge, which hurt his tackle efficiency. The overall workload should lead to more productive games for the first-round rookie as long as he continues to be the team’s secondary linebacker option for the remainder of the year.

- Point of interest: Brian Branch returned after a two-game absence but only played 50% of the defensive snaps. The opposing Ravens offense spent just 35% of their offensive snaps in 11 personnel, which was even lower than their season norm coming into this game and kept Branch off the field. He could end up being a matchup-dependent IDP option if that usage continues.

- Trending up: Rashan Gary came out of the bye week and returned to a normal snap share seemingly without a playing time limitation for the first time all year. Gary has been an elite edge rusher and even in a game where he didn’t post strong box score numbers, he put up some of the best pass-rush metrics of the week. He can be comfortably started in IDP lineups again going forward.

- Point of interest: Quay Walker played an every-down role this week after concern that he might not due to suffering a knee injury before the team’s bye week. Unfortunately for his IDP managers, he was not overly productive with his snaps while Isaiah McDuffie led the team in tackles despite not playing even 70% of Green Bay's defensive snaps. Don’t expect that to be a continuing trend going forward.

Unfortunately, he did not deliver a sack, which is the nature of the position a lot of the time. Allen is still among the best edge options for IDP this season and should remain in starting lineups.

- Point of interest: Ernest Jones did not play his usual full-time role for the second straight week, which is more than likely due to swelling in his knee that has kept him limited in practice these past two weeks. For fantasy managers that have other options, it may not be optimal to have Jones in lineups until practice reports leading up to the game have him as a full participant and not carrying an injury designation into gameday.

- Trending up: Jaelan Phillips saw a snap increase this week after playing fewer than 50% of Miami's defensive snaps last week in his first game back from injury. As a result, Phillips started to produce closer to what fantasy managers were expecting coming into the year, as he came up with a sack and seven total tackles. Bradley Chubb is also heading in the right direction with two sacks on the day, giving him four on the year while averaging 82% of Miami's defensive snaps per game this season.

- Point of interest: The Vikings deployed three linebackers on every snap this week, which is a great boost for Josh Metellus’ value, specifically. Metellus has been a fine IDP starter as the third safety in Minnesota this season but locking up more snaps should only help long-term.

| D'Marco Jackson | 1.8% | 0.0% | 7.1% | 0.0% | 0 |
- Point of interest: Demario Davis did not play a full game this week because he was a game-time decision coming into this one, so it appears that the team limited his snaps to not risk re-injury. With a 10-day layoff, Davis should return to his full-time role in Week 8.

- Point of interest: The Eagles traded for Kevin Byard from the Tennessee Titans on Monday and sent them Terrell Edmunds. Byard will likely start next to Reed Blankenship when he is healthy. In the meantime, Sydney Brown and Kevin Byard are the next most likely combination for the Eagles safeties.

- Point of interest: The Seahawks opted for more three-safety looks this week, which cut into Jordyn Brooks’ playing time. Brooks was still a very effective IDP this week but if this scheme continues leaning more on the safeties, then Brooks could become harder to trust in lineups.

- Trending up: Jamal Adams played an every-down role for the first time since Week 11 of 2021. Adams saw the exact usage that IDP managers would hope for, as he barely played any snaps from a deep alignment and was used almost exclusively closer to the line of scrimmage.
- Trending up: Julian Love benefited from the team playing more dime personnel than they have all season (28.4%). If the Seahawks continue to do so, Love could still continue being an effective IDP asset.

DEFENSIVE INTERIOR
| Player | Total defensive snap share | Run down snap share | Pass down snap share | Pass-rush grade rate | Win rate | Pressure rate |
| Daron Payne | 85.3% | 86.2% | 84.6% | 48.3 | 0.0% | 6.7% |
| Jonathan Allen | 76.5% | 62.1% | 87.2% | 80.5 | 22.6% | 6.5% |
| John Ridgeway | 35.3% | 51.7% | 23.1% | 63.4 | 11.1% | 11.1% |
| Abdullah Anderson | 19.1% | 20.7% | 17.9% | 55.3 | 0.0% | 0.0% |
LINEBACKER
| Player | Total defensive snap share | 1st/2nd down snap share | 3rd/4th down snap share | Tackle efficiency | Total Tackles (PFF) |
| Jamin Davis | 98.5% | 100.0% | 94.7% | 10.4% | 7 |
| David Mayo | 60.3% | 71.4% | 31.6% | 19.5% | 8 |
| Khaleke Hudson | 38.2% | 38.8% | 36.8% | 3.8% | 1 |
| Cody Barton | 11.8% | 12.2% | 10.5% | 12.5% | 1 |
- Injury: Cody Barton suffered a high ankle sprain in the first quarter of this game and did not return. He is likely to miss some time. This allowed Jamin Davis to move into a full-time role.
- Waiver wire: David Mayo will be a viable linebacker option in deeper leagues while Barton is out. Mayo won’t likely play a full-time role — probably between 70-80% — but could still be productive for IDP managers in need.
