• Falcons interior pass-rusher Grady Jarrett can keep his momentum going as he draws a favorable matchup against a banged-up Rams offensive line.

• Bengals edge defender Trey Hendrickson is primed for a bounce-back game after a quiet Week 1.

Nick Bolton is one of the biggest risers after his snap share increased significantly compared to 2021. Bolton has been one of the most efficient linebackers on limited snaps, and that continued in Week 1 in a larger role. The Chiefs ranked top 12 in zone coverage rate in Week 1, helping boost Bolton’s odds of making a tackle on any given play.

T.J. Edwards (LB21) moves to the low-end LB2 range with the Eagles running the 12th-highest rate of man coverage (24.6%) after being among the top five teams in the league last season in zone coverage rate. The Eagles’ zone defense yielded high tackle efficiency last season, but the change helps explain Edwards' below-average tackle efficiency (10.6%) in Week 1. He is still a strong option, but not as ideal as previously expected.

Frankie Luvu (LB45) moves ahead of Shaq Thompson (LB51) based on Week 1 usage. It’s a speculative move until things get back to normal, but for now, Thompson shouldn’t be trusted in shallower leagues.
