Upgrades and Downgrades

Mason Graham returned from his two-week absence last week, but failed to post a digit in the box score. Graham had a more ideal outing in Week 8, playing 44 defensive snaps (75%), producing three solo tackles and three tackles for loss against Pittsburgh. Now healthy, Graham is a solid defensive tackle option for IDP gamers in true-position formats where available.

After a slow start, Lawrence is proving to be one of the year's best acquisitions on the defensive side of the ball. Know primarily for his run-stopping ability, Lawrence has also been a force rushing the passer this year with 5 sacks over his last 5 games with many favorable matchups looming on the schedule ahead.
