Antoine Winfield Jr. - Eight stops in win Winfield recorded eight tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's win over the Jets.

Carlton Davis III - Busy day in win Davis recorded eight tackles (seven solo) and one pass deflection during Sunday's win over the Jets.
Impact Davis' eight tackles were his most since registering a season-high nine in Week 2. The 25-year-old's lack of turnovers and sacks this season has limited his fantasy potential, but when healthy, he's an integral part of the Buccaneers' defense, so he should remain on fantasy radars in deeper IDP leagues.
