Anderson tallied two tackles, including 1.0 sacks, against Las Vegas in a 23-21 Week 16 win Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's sack came late in the second quarter and resulted in a nine-yard loss. It pushed him up to 11.5 sacks on the campaign, surpassing his previous regular-season career high of 11.0 sacks, which he established last year. Anderson had gone a season-high three games without a sack prior to taking down Geno Smith in the backfield Sunday.

Pitre posted seven tackles (six solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a 23-21 win against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Pitre tied for third on the Texans in stops in the narrow victory. After missing three games while in concussion protocol, Pitre has logged every defensive snap for Houston over the past four weeks. He's up to 66 tackles and 11 defensed passes, including four pickoffs, over 12 games this season.

LB MIA (12)
Brooks logged 14 tackles (nine solo) during Miami's loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Brooks led the team in tackles once again, and he's now compiled double-digit stops in nine of his 15 appearances this season. The 28-year-old has totaled 169 tackles (93 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and he'll look to maintain this high level of production across the team's final two games of the campaign.

Bullock tallied nine tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 23-21 victory against Las Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Bullock's nine tackles led Houston and marked a career high. They also pushed Bullock up to 60 stops on the campaign, exceeding the 54 he recorded as a rookie last season. The second-year safety has started every game for the Texans during his sophomore campaign and has registered nine defensed passes, including four interceptions.

EDGE Analysis
Jefferson ended up leading the Chargers with a season-high eight tackles during Sunday's victory. Across the four games since the Chargers' Week 12 bye, the veteran safety has accumulated 21 tackles (14 solo) and three pass defenses (two interceptions). Jefferson will look to add to his tackling total against the Texans on Saturday.
QKamari Lassiter CB HOU (6) Tue 12/23/25 8:53 PM
QKamari Lassiter
CB HOU (6)
Lassiter (foot) was a non-participant in practice Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lassiter has been dealing with a foot injury throughout December, but the issue hasn't caused him to sit out any games. He's missed the first day of practice each of the past four weeks, so Tuesday's DNP shouldn't be particularly alarming. Unless Lassiter suffered a setback during Sunday's win over Las Vegas, he seems likely to play Saturday versus the Chargers.

James Williams
LB TEN (10)
Williams tallied nine tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Tennessee's win over the Chiefs on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams benefited from increased playing time with Cedric Gray out with a concussion and turned in his best performance of the campaign, leading the team in tackles in addition to recording his first sack. The 22-year-old should get another start at linebacker should Gray remain sidelined for the Week 17 matchup versus the Saints.

Derwin James
S LAC (12)
James logged six tackles (five solo) and a forced fumble during the Chargers' 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
James caused a turnover for a second consecutive week, when he knocked the ball out of the hands of a scrambling Joe Milton, which Tuli Tuipulotu jumped on to give the Chargers the ball at midfield. James has logged 16 combined tackles over his last two outings, and the veteran safety is up to 86 tackles (46 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and six pass defenses (two interceptions) across 15 regular-season games. He'll have two more games to reach the tackling century mark for the fifth time in his NFL career beginning this Saturday against the Texans.

Carter recorded two tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Giants loss versus Minnesota on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Carter produced one of the team's four sacks during the loss. The rookie first-round pick got off to a slow start this season but has been on a hot streak as of late, logging one sack in each of his last three outings after failing to tally one across the first 12 weeks of the campaign.
Roquan Smith LB BAL (7) Tue 12/23/25 8:40 PM
Roquan Smith
LB BAL (7)
Smith racked up 10 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's Week 16 loss to New England.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was a tackling machine, as usual, leading Baltimore in stops and logging double-digit tackles for the fifth straight game. The veteran linebacker is up to 124 tackles on the campaign, which is tied for 11th in the NFL despite the fact that Smith missed two games earlier in the season.
