Disclaimer: All league sizes and formats are different. Meaning some of these players may or may not be available in your league. 

Defensive Linemen

Jayson Ademilola, Notre Dame – 28% rostered

Week 4 Stat Line: 5 tackles, 1 sack, 2 tackles for loss

Ademilola has been a four-year player for Notre Dame, but in the last two years, he has been more involved in pressuring the QB. In those same two years, Ademilola has had the role of pressure 65% of the time and has caused his sacks and tackle numbers to rise.

Cody Roscoe, Syracuse – 26% rostered

Week 4 Stat Line: 5 tackles, 1 sack, 1 tackle for loss

Roscoe has been with Syracuse for two years now and is pretty even in his role of rush defense and pass rusher. In the first two games, he had no sacks. In the last two games, he has had three sacks each game. Roscoe is on pace for his best season and should continue to provide good sack and tackle numbers for a lineman.

Linebackers

Shaka Heyward, Duke – 46% rostered

Week 4 Stat Line: 9 tackles

This is Heyward’s third year as a big contributor on the Duke defense and, so far this year, has been less of a pass-rushing player. In the last three games, Heyward has had at least seven tackles and 63 snaps per game.

Chris Bergin, Northwestern – 39% rostered

Week 4 Stat Line: 14 tackles

Bergin is a fifth-year player for Northwestern and looks to have his best season this year. In the last two games, he has had double-digit tackles and is playing in over 60 defensive snaps each game. Bergin does not have a lot of pass-rushing opportunities but has one sack in 16 attempts.

Defensive Backs

Emmanuel Forbes, Mississippi State – 25% rostered

Week 4 Stat Line: 7 tackles, 1 interception

Forbes is heavily involved in coverage for Mississippi State and last year had five interceptions. In 2021 so far, Forbes has an interception in his last two games. After four games he is already over halfway to his tackle total from 2020.
