Below is your weekly breakdown of news, notes and injuries from the previous week to help with tough lineup decisions on the defensive side of the ball.
Oakland @ Kansas City
Studs: Khalil Mack, Derrick Johnson, Justin Houston (In big play leagues)
Starts: Perry Riley (LB3/4), Malcolm Smith (LB3/4). Bruce Irvin (LB3/4 in big play), Dee Ford (LB3 in big play leagues), Eric Berry (boom/bust DB4)
Not many new findings for the two teams playing on TNF. Terrible timing to lose one of the few DBs with somewhat of a consistent floor but Karl Joseph will be out for Thursday’s game.
