Sacks quarterback Sunday David recorded seven tackles (seven solo) including a sack in Sunday's 27-14 loss at San Francisco.
Impact David totaled at least seven tackles for the seventh time in 10 games this season in Week 11, and he added his third sack of the year to boot. Incredibly, he's on pace for a career season in the tackle department heading into a Week 12 matchup at Indianapolis, making him a fantastic IDP option.

Headed for MRI David, who is believed to have suffered a strained groin in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, will undergo an MRI on Monday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Impact David's status for the week ahead is up in the air, but the MRI should provide some clarity on his injury and a potential timeline for his return. If the Nebraska product is unable to suit up in Week 12 against the Colts, SirVocea Dennis will be a candidate to see extra work once again.

Reaches double-digit tackles again David registered 11 tackles (nine solo) and a forced fumble in Sunday's 39-37 loss to the Texans.
Impact David made his presence felt immediately when he forced the ball out of tight end Dalton Schultz that was recovered by Antoine Winfield and set the Buccaneers up in Texans' territory. It was the fourth game in a row that David has registered double-digit tackles in a game and the seventh straight time he has played every single defensive snap. He'll look to help the Bucs snap their four-game losing streak when they return home in Week 10 to face the Titans.

Records 14 tackles in loss David had 14 tackles (six solo) in Thursday's 24-18 loss to the Bills.
Impact David once again led the team in tackles, and Thursday's performance was the third straight game in which he has registered double-digit tackles. He's far and away the leading tackler on the team with 67 total tackles and also leads the team with seven tackles for a loss. David will look to build on his performance in Week 9 on the road against the Texans.
OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Racks up tackles again in loss David recorded 13 tackles (eight solo), including one for loss, and also defensed a pass in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Falcons.
Impact David recorded double-digit tackles for the second straight game while tying his season high in stops. The veteran linebacker is seemingly as effective as ever in his 12th season, with his 53 stops through six games putting him on pace to narrowly eclipse the career-high 147 tackles he compiled over 16 contests in 2015. David should have plenty of opportunities again in Thursday's Week 8 road matchup against the Bills while trying to slow down Buffalo's arsenal of offensive weapons.
