Hall tallied a season-high four tackles in Thursday night’s primetime win against the Arizona Cardinals, marking his most tackles in a game since week five of last season. Playing a season-high 31 pass rush snaps, Hall applied three quarterback hurries and has now tallied eight hurries in the last three weeks, good for top 30 among NFL edge rushers. Hall’s PFF grades for run defense (75.7) and tackling (73.9) in the win against Arizona were season-high marks, and his PFF grades for overall defense (69.2), run defense (69.5) and pass rush (69.9) are at career-high marks through four weeks of the season.

Roger McCreary, CB, Tennessee Titans
McCreary turned in his third game this season with five or more tackles in Sunday’s contest against the Texans. The fourth-year starter leads Titans cornerbacks and ranks top 10 among NFL corners with 19 tackles on the season. Having allowed the 13th fewest receptions in the NFL through four weeks, McCreary’s PFF coverage grade of 76.0 is 17th out of 162 NFL corners and his overall grade of 73.8 is good for 26th. McCreary has played 172 of the Titans' defensive snaps this season and has not committed a penalty.

Jamien Sherwood, LB, New York Jets
Sherwood led the Jets and recorded double digit tackles for the third straight week, registering 10 total stops on Monday Night Football against the Miami Dolphins. Coming off a year in which he led the NFL in solo tackles (98) and ranked fourth in total tackles (158), the 2025 team captain ranks tied for fifth with 40 tackles through four weeks. Along with his 10th double-digit tackle performance in the last two seasons, Sherwood added his first pass defended of the year against the Dolphins. The fifth-year pro has turned in a career-high PFF run defense grade of 83.6, which ranks top 10 among NFL linebackers.

Darius Slayton, WR, New York Giants
Slayton led the Giants with three catches for 44 yards and helped hand the Los Angeles Chargers their first loss of the season Sunday. With nine receptions in the last three weeks, the seventh-year NFL veteran ranks 13th in the league in yards per reception (15.0) and has yet to drop a pass this season. A 2025 team captain, Slayton has led the Giants in receiving yards four times in his career and has 135 yards this season. His overall PFF grade of 66.5 against the Chargers was a season high.
