Saves the day against Miami Simmons recorded seven tackles, two passes defensed and an interception during Sunday's 20-13 win over Miami.
Impact Following a Melvin Gordon fumble, the Dolphins were driving to tie up the game in the closing moments of the fourth quarter when Simmons stepped in front of a Ryan Fitzpatrick pass to the end zone -- sealing the game. It was Simmons' third pick in his past four games and made up for an interception that he had earlier in the game that was called back on a teammate's holding call. Simmons ranks third in the league with four interceptions on the season and will be a test for Taysom Hill, making his second start Sunday.

Picks off another pass Simmons recorded five tackles, two passes defended and an interception during Sunday's 34-27 loss in Atlanta.
Impact Matt Ryan was looking to put the game away early in the second half when he tossed a bomb downfield. Simmons, playing on the other half of the field saw it and ranged across field to come up with the interception -- his second in as many games. Simmons now has three picks on the year, good for fifth-best in the league. He should have an easier time Sunday against Las Vegas as both A.J. Bouye (concussion) and Bryce Callahan (ankle) are anticipated to return.

Notches eight stops Simmons recorded eight solo tackles and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 18-12 win over the Patriots.
Impact Simmons hasn't left the field on defense this season, and the fifth-year safety is averaging seven tackles per game while adding two pass breakups, an interception and a fumble recovery. His work in pass coverage is less appealing, as he's allowed a 121.5 passer rating and three touchdowns when targeted this season. That's irrelevant for fantasy purposes, however, and Simmons continues to be a consistent contributor in that realm.

Picks off Big Ben Simmons recorded eight tackles, two passes defensed, a tackle for loss and an interception during Sunday's 26-21 loss in Pittsburgh.
Impact While Broncos were dropping like flies, Simmons helped keep Denver in the game, leading the team in tackles while jumpstarting a comeback bid to begin the second half. On the Steelers' opening drive, Ben Roethlisberger took a shot down field, and Simmons clawed it down for a one-handed interception, handing the Broncos a short field and setting up a field goal. This season has started as about as poorly as it could for Denver from an injury perspective, but Simmons should be able to help keep the secondary afloat until players like A.J. Bouye are able to return to the fold.
